Well, this isn't something you see everyday... a month and a half ago, I was rear ended. The damage to my Explorer, my baby, was minimal. Only the bumper and the hitch needed to be replaced. I took it to a body shop in a very nice area of town that's known for good work. They do all the work...

Just curious... But what are some of yall doing to keep warm? Here in Georgia it's been cold lately. Several days the high's been in the low 40's, and even colder earlier in the day. I normally wear two pairs of gloves, with the top layer being water proof of course. This makes a huge...

So over time as I've been reading on this forum, it's come to my attention that some of you seem to be able to wash cars in record time. I've heard people say that they easily wash 10 cars a day, some even 15, and some even 20. Now I'm not calling anyone a liar, but I just don't understand how...

Hello everyone, I consider myself a pretty competent detailer, but in this case, I'd like your opinion. I have a black 2000 Ford Explorer as my daily driver, and the hood and roof are beginning to show some signs of their age. The side panels still look great of course, but the hood and roof...

I came out to my car today and what a surprise I found! Although I parked very far away from the car next to mine, some moron decided to ding their door against mine. So now there is a good little size ding in the rear passenger door. Does anyone have any suggestions to cover this up? Is...

Hello all, I have a black 2000 Eddie Bauer Explorer. I keep it waxed regularly, and wash it about once a week. Well, I bought a clay bar and want to clay it. However, I have a question. How do yall clay your car? What process do you get the best results with, or think is the easiest? I've...

Hey guys... I've been an avid reader of this site for sometime, and registered just a few months ago. Your information and willingness to help fellow detailers has been incridible. I'm hoping you can help me today. I have a 2000 black Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer. I wax it about every three...

Hello all! Although I haven't posted much, I've been reading the forums on DC for sometime now. I come to everyone with a question: I'm going to detail my recently purchased 2000 black Eddie Bauer Explorer. The paint is in pretty good shape, however, I really want to make it pop. What is...
