First off, I'm writing this thread to see who all wears sunglasses (when applicable) while driving. For a long time I've been against them because I feel like they obstruct my view of the road. But I recently bought what appear to be a decent pair of actual polarized sunglasses (not the "fake"...

Well, it finally happened to me! Driving along on I-80WB going to work and some irate lady was tailgating me (I'm going 80+mph) then she goes to pass me on the right, gets right along side me, then starts coming over! I slammed on the brakes, but there's nothing I could do...it was either go...

I was bored, and since I was home at 1 today from my local client, I decided to detail my 2005 Trek 4300 Hardtail. It hasn't been washed since I bought it (probably the only thing I own that I've neglected), unless riding in the rain counts! I know it'll get dirty here in the upcoming weeks, so...

Is it just me that notices, or are there a considerable amount of drivers that don't car or don't know about the proper bulbs for their vehicles? I can't go a day on the road without seeing at least 2 or 3 Buick Century's or Regals with white DRL's instead of the amber ones (remember that this...

All I have to say is "phew!" The wife and I just traded out 07 Tundra CM for a 08 CRV EX AWD (long story). Anyways, the guy was getting ready to pull it in and have all the plastic and paint protectant taken off (literally rolled off the truck while we were negotiating)and thankfully I caught...

I'm having a hard time on what I should do here and need some advice from fellow detailers. Before I detail any customer's vehicle, I ask them to empty it of any personal belongings including jewelry, coin/cash, and miscellaneous other items from center consoles, pockets and the glove box. I...

So I spent 4 hours today detailing my 07 Tundra. The wife primarily drives it, and since she's a typical woman, she doesn't give a damn about the truck. I could spend 12 hours detailing (anything) and she'll have it "destroyed" in 12 seconds. :hairpull Anyways, I digress. I washed, dried...

I think using this material is important, especially if you keep the car for a while and/or drive it a lot on the highways. I didn't think it was before, but with new cars, it seems as if the paints/clears on the soft bumpers and hoods are becoming notorious for pitting from road debris even...

I tried running a search, but it keeps freezing up and not coming back, so I apologize if it has been covered elsewhere on the board. I just want opinions on this issue. I personnally will check the build date in the door jamb and wait a month (which is usually past) before I seal/wax paint...

Just a new member reporting in! I've been a lurker here for a while, but just registered for an account today! This site is great and I hope to be here for a while. I do have one question. I posted 2 posts in the "Professional Detailers" forum and I can't see my posts. They weren't spam and...
