Well, I have been working so hard the last couple of months to finish off my garage so I have a place to park my WRX where I can baby it all the time and the birds and children will stay away from it. Well, I my car was up on ramps because I was putting some extra rubberized unercoating on my...

My colleague came into work this morning and said that her kids got a hold of her wax and thought they would do mom a favor and wash and wax her brand new Chevy Trailblazer (only 2500 miles!). Well, they managed to wax every piece of plastic on the car! I went out to the parking lot this...

My wife told me that we should all get together and start a detailing chain all over the country that sells product and does things the RIGHT WAY! She said the name of the business should be... O-C-D-etailing (obsessive complusive disorder/detailing) hehehe....

I just got done pulling my car down from ramps in my garage and while I was underneath the car I noticed something strange to me. All over there is this sticky clear goo-gunk....on the oil pan, on the transmission, etc. I tested a small area and it comes off with a little elbow grease, but I...

I was curious if anyone has used any of the Paintless Dent Removal companies in the Chicago area? Can you personally recommend any of them? What should I watch out for?

I use MF towels for everything and it seems like I tend to go through them quite a bit...it would be nice if there were a local retail chain that carried them. Anyone know if there is?

I ordered my first Klasse AIO and SG kit about a month ago and I am just amazed with the results. I have never used a product so good in my life. The question I have now....is the rest of my wax collection useless? I still have plenty of MOTHERS CARNUBA and MEGUIARS GOLD CLASS WAX left. Is...

I was putting on my Klasse AIO and SG for the first time on my new car (only 2 mos. old) and I noticed some very very tiny hard black specks on the surface of my paint. You can only see them when you are about 1" - 2" from the surface. They don't come off with washing or waxing, but if you run...

I have been plagued by this for years. I have a silver car and I constantly baby my car with the best MF towels and bathe it in Klasse AIO and SG. My car looks absolutely amazing in the sun, in the dark, when it is dusk or dawn, but as soon as I get to work at 6am and park in my usual spot...

Has anyone installed the XPEL (www.xpel.com) paint protectin product on a silver car? They mention in their web-site that a stark white car will show the product more than a dark colored car. Silver is about the closest color to white that I can think of. Also, does anyone have objections to...

Well, now I am starting to get concerned because winter is quickly approaching here in Indiana (getting down to the 30's in the evening) and I am debating how to keep my brand new 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX as detailed and clean as I have all summer. I have no problem washing the car when it is...

I have recently purchasd a synthetic chamois called "THE ABSORBER". If you are not familiar with it, it can be purchased at any Wal-Mart or K-Mart. It is around $10-$12 and it feels almost like a wet-suit type of material and it soaks up water like CRAZY! I am curious of your opinions on this...
