Hello, I recently had a customer get a quote on a 2014 BMW with the light Beige Pebble leather interior. I could see visible dirt on the leather and hope that it was just dirt, I am thinking it might be color transfer from blue jeans; as that seems to happen on light colored leathers quite a...

I recently purchased 50/50 Wax from Chemical Guys, being the professional that I am I usually put everything on with my Porter Cable buffer. Since it was a new wax to me I asked them if I could use a machine to put the wax on, they answered; I could but that they didn't recommend that? What...

So I have never been able to get any more shine out of a tire gloss than 1 or 2 rainstorms. Recently I tried one of the more durable tire shines Carpro Perl and it was a waste of time. I applied it according to directions on a new tire that had about 800mi on it, washed, scrubbed with curved...

I have been a traditional bucket wash guy but as I get busier I find it is taking way to long. I currently use my natural sea sponge and the two bucket method with grit guards. I tried the boars hair brush on a adjustable pole and it was quite a bit faster, but it lightly scratched the clear...

I am currently detailing a fairly new BMW X5 with a Light Beige interior, some of the hard plastic is scuffed with some black marks, particularly on the rear hatch. It looks like objects where rubbed up against it under acceleration. I have tried a few interior cleaners to take out the scuff...

I was wondering if there were any new tire gels out there that lasted a long time?  I used the Tuf Shine tire sealent on my tires and it lasts a long time but I don't like the fake shine look it puts on my tires, I love that original Armour All shine that you see at all the new tire stores.  ...

I have a client who recently brought me his vehicle with pitted and caked chrome wheels. The chrome rims are less than a year old but they are caked and pitted with brake dust that will not come off with wheel cleaners. I have tried Sonax which did an ok job and then Meg's Wheel Bright which...

Is there anything that people do differently when washing there microfiber towels in a Front loader High Efficiency Washer? I have been at this for some time and not getting the best results, as in the micro fiber does not seem to come out as soft as it should. A little back ground: I use...

Hi, Any ideas for getting road salt out of auto carpet? I have already tried Eimann Fabrik Upholstery cleaner and Meg's APC with a carpet brush and no luck? Never thougth it would be so tough to remove. I bet hot water or something would get it off. Any help or suggestions would ber...

I would like to buy a carpet extractor to clean carpets and upholstery, but they cost way more than I want to spend, upwards of $800 Is there a cheaper solution? I heard that the Bissell little green machine filled with diluted Meg's APC works well. Any suggestions would be greatly...

I was rushing through a detail today and stained a whole bunch of the textured black plastic on the lower rocker panels and around the wheel wells of a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I was using Collinite 476S to get it ready for the winter. My first thought was to use a bottle of Wax Blaster I...

Anyone know if they still make CG One? Cannot seem to find it anywherer? I am looking for a winter no rinse that I can apply in my garage in cold weather, any advice is greatly appreciated. :thx

I did this about 7yrs ago to the paint on my '98 black ford Explorer. They look like little white hairs on the paint. At the time I was using an 8.5" 3m wool compounding pad on an orbital buffer, Yes I know, I did not know what I was doing at the time. I also used Meguires medium cut...

I recently tried waxing my wheels with DP Wheel Glaze. I was working on a 2007 Camry that had the 16", 9 spoke, factory clear coated wheels. After the wheels where cleaned and dried, I first tried to apply the DP with the Mothers mini powerball. This was a disaster, as the mini powerball...

I recall reading on a detailer retail sight a year or two back, where they suggested using Diaper clothes or Terry cloth towels to remove Carnuba Wax. Stating that Microfiber cleans so well that it would actually pull most of the wax off of the paint. Quote from site: "No need to let...
