I have a jug of the Megs Wheel Brightner that I will no longer need or use. It's almost full. If somebody out there, that is located in the NPR/Trinity area wants it, you can have it for free. This is local pick up only...no shipping. Just let me know and we can meet up this weekend. Mike

I've been trying to get to it for several weeks and I just couldn't find the time to spare. But, today I just started on it early and the wife let me just have the day to myself and my Suby. It took me ~6 hours. Process- 1 Bucket for the wheels/tires/wheel wells. 2 buckets w/ grit guards for...

Hey guys......I have a lady that wants me to detail her car after she had it broken into. She tells me there is fingerprint powder everywhere and she can't drive it because it will get all over her. It's on the outside as well as inside. My questions; 1. Will I be able to just wash this off...

I have a bottle of Optimum Compound that I have had for about a year and a half I guess. I have only used it maybe 5 or 6 times and absolutely love this stuff. Last night I was gong to use it on the wife's lease that we are going to turn in....just to "fix" a few spots that I thought needed...

This is a detail I did for a neighbor that lives in my subdivision. I'm thinking they've never cleaned the wheels on this thing, so that took me the better part of an hour to get them in a semi-clean state. They pitted from the amount of brake dust and time allowed to sit, but I was able to...

I just bought a 2007 Tundra and was just going to jump in and start waxing it, but I had a question about what the pro's do for new car prep. Do you polish first?? Should I clay to remove any rail dust first? what about a sealant before the wax? I know the routine for older paint, but...

I did this car two weeks ago and then the guy’s Ford Escape....but that will be another thread. The exterior process; Wash w/NXT Clay lower half and front Polished with 70/30 mix Menz FP & RMG white CCS pad Tailgate/bumper area with OC yellow pad 2x (you'll see why) Blackfire by hand...

.....and it just started POURING RAIN!!!!!:grrr The Z is in the garage and will enjoy a night of cleanliness......until I drive to work in the morning.:o

Hello to all......I had a minivan that I worked on last weekend. It took me two days as I wanted to split it up due to the nature of the work involved. It was a buddy from work and he told before hand that it was bad. It hadn't been cleaned in almost 7 years and no wax applied. I wasn't real...

I have a client that wants me to detail her black navigator....no big deal except for the fact the she used the back of a scrubby sponge to try to take off love bugs. You know...the green part on the back of the sponge..... Now the mirrors are dull, the front bumper and a few spots on the front...

I have a 1998 white sentra that I have to do on Sunday afternoon. It looks as though the paint has oxidation and when you run your hand across it, I get a white-ish powder. (not a lot, but a little) My question is .....is this single stage paint from Nissan? I wasn't sure if it was, but I...

I sold the Lightning and bought a 2005 35th Anniversary Edition 350Z. I really didn't want to sell the truck, but the gas was killing me. At over $300 in gas a month, it was time for something a bit more economical. I'm averaging 23 mpg compared to about 12mpg. It isn't as fast as the truck...

I have read a few posts from a search and really didn't find a definitive answer...so here goes. I have an older toyota (I'm thinking a 96) corolla coming up that was smoked in and she wants an interior detail to get rid of the smoke smell (she quit smoking). This would include the...

Today I detailed my friends 03 Cobra. He didn't have a lot of time to stay, so I made the best of it with the time we had. The car wasn't real bad, but did have some swirls. I think it turned out OK.......I think I got it to 85-90% swirl free. There was still some slight marring, but with what I...

Just wondering, because I see a lot of clean exhausts in the click and brag section, but I never know what was used. I think this is one thing that really sets off the detail....clean and polished pipes.....(hope that didn't come out wrong):grinno: I would like to know about the Chrome outside...
