A couple weeks ago I posted that I had bought a brand new 2004 Maxima. Last thursday I took the car to have the windows tinted and later that evening while washing the car I noticed some scratches on both of the front doors below the windows. The scratches consist of a couple small scratches...

I'll be picking up the wifes new 2003 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE on Thursday. It is sheer silver with charcoal interior. I have already told the dealer not to detail the car, no license plates on the front and no dealer stickers. Friday I intend to detail the car to my specs. I will clay, #9 any...

I have been using Mothers Reflections on my silver wheels and it really deepens the paint on them and looks great. I originally bought it for use on the wifes metallic green SHO but have not had time to properly prep the surface first so I haven't used it yet. Mothers states that Reflections...

On average how thick is the clearcoat on Ford cars? My Cobra sustained some damage and I want to be prepared when I see the ins. adjuster so he cannot say "It'll just buff out". Maybe it will buff out, but I am concerned that too much of the clearcoat was removed and buffing will leave it...

Saturday night we were burglerized and they pulled a vehicle in the garage next to my freshly detailed White Mustang Cobra. During the process of removing the TV's, VCR's, DVD player, Stereo, jewelry and other assorted items from our house they seemed to use the roof of my car as a staging...

I have a white car and while using SMR on it this morning I was thinking about glaze. I have some #7 that I usually use and some MOTHERS sealer and glaze. The #7 is dark colored and the MOTHERS is a much lighter color, not white but really close to the color of the #9 2.0. I was thinking...

I'm going to attempt to fix a handfull of small paint chips in the hood of my white Mustang Cobra this weekend. I printed out the chip/scratch fix from the site , bought all the necessary supplies, and had some touch-up paint and clear coat mixed to match my paint. As soon as I get home I'll...

Last Saturday while purchasing some PC pads from a local detailing store I was given samples of Mothers Foam Pad Polish (FP2). I got a bottle for light paint and a bottle for dark paint. When I got home I decided to try it on the hood of my white Mustang Cobra and was very pleased at the...

I am aching to get rollong with it this weekend and can purchase the Meguiar's pads locally. Can someone give me some info as to how these pads compare to the CMA pads in abrasiveness and quality. Also, is the pad supplied by PC good for anything?

Sealer Glaze? I bought a bottle because I wanted a sealer for the wifes car and could not find anything else locally. I applied it a few weeks ago and topped it with #26. It shined and seems to have decent endurance. The thing I am trying to figure out is if it is causing dust to collect...

I've got a white 96 Mustang Cobra that I keep pretty clean and polished. Currently I am using Meguiars #7 followed by a coat of #26. In a few weeks I plan to do a spring detail on the car and was planning to do the following (in order): 1. Wash with Dawn 2. Claybar (never been done and...
