Another local detailer I know turned me onto this product for a car I got that was covered in pine sap. I've tried the 3M aerosol kind, Bug N Tar remover, sap dissolver, alchohol, wd40, gels, sprays, aerosols, the local carbright people said peanut butter or peanut oil lol... Anyway, this...

So picked up a new E30 earlier this week. The good: No rust The bad: Paint about as flat and unglossy as a chalkboard The solution: Menzerna SIP Before: Notice you can't see any reflections and can barely see the camera's flash! After: Note the flash of...

So I ordered some P21S wheel gel and was excited to try it out. Sprayed in on the faces of my wheels and let it sit for about 20 minutes or so. I then rinsed it off and it left run marks that were lighter colored than the rest of the wheel. I sprayed on another coat and scrubbed with a wheel...

Saw the thread about the washing nightmares and it made me remember a couple pics I had to snap on cell phone camera while driving the last couple days. Day 1: Saw an older Mercedes Benz C280 with about 3 sheets of plywood strapped to the roof! Not only was this probably scraping the paint...

So I've skinned a knuckle or cut a finger once or twice but yesterday took the cake... Detailing the doorjambs of a 01 Buick LeSabre and I jerked my arm back and clocked my elbow on the edge of the back door. Now this felt like a real bad funnybone shot at first combined with a horrible...

Ok so I am first to call BS on this as nothing lasts 3 years unless sitting in a garage its entire life and never leaving it. HOWEVER, a co-worker just bought a Chevy Avalanche in bright red, and he said the previous owner had a $600 paint treatment done by the dealer... COUGH - Dealer rip...

Anyone dealt with this before? My dads girlfriend has a Screamin' Eagle Harley Bike (not sure which model). Anyway its got marks on the pipes from the heal of her boot touching it and burning the rubber onto the pipe. I tried what I have and nothing works yet (adheasive remover, goo gone...

Did my Formula today! FINALLY... It was getting pretty nasty... Stuck to exterior only though, I'll get to the interior another day, I'm burnt out and my hands are sore and I'm tired of looking at it after the last two days haha. Also decided to take off the nasty faded yellowish side...

So I've had my PC since the earlier part of the year and I just can't seem to get out swirls! I mean, it makes it a lot glossier, but in the halogens or direct sunlight they're all still there it seems. Almost like it didn't help at all. I'm using an LC Orange foam pad I've tried Megs #1...

Camera was dead before I got started so I don't have any good before pics, but this thing is a daily driver with 130K miles on it so you can guess what it looked like when I picked it up... Its used at a horseback riding place with a dirt/gravel road. Its not garage kept either. The inside...

Main question here is as follows: Do you just use a glaze when you're only nuba waxing over it? For example, would you not use a glaze if you're sealing over the glaze? So a proper 3 step including glaze would look like this: SIP X Glaze X Carnuba wax Is that correct? Because...

Picked this car up for myself and spent about 4 hours on the carpet/interior. The guy inherited it from his father who passed away and I don't think it had been cleaned in YEARS. The extracter had the nastiest brown water I've seen yet in the holding tank. It had solid clumps in it when I...
