We're about to sell my wife's red 97 Mustang convertible. The paint isn't in the greatest shape, and the damage was done by the time I met her, so it's all her fault! Anyway, would it be worth it to shell out $250 for a pro detail, or should I just hit this thing by myself by hand and get rid...

We're planning to sell my wife's red 97 Ford Mustang convertible, and I want to get it looking the best I can before we sell it to up the value a bit. (blue book is $4250, we were going to ask $3200 to sell it quick, but if a good detail can help get us $3800-4100 we'd be super happy). I'm...

We're planning on selling my wifes red 97 Mustang convertible. The paint needs some work, there is some oxidation, some light scratches, swirls, a few bird dropping etchings, and just various other problems from a 10 year old car that didn't have its paint cared for that well. I don't see the...

Testing, I have not been able to post in this forum for three days. I get a page not found error when clicking submit new thread.

For some reason I cannot post in some sections of this forum. Testing to see if this one works. EDIT: Weird, I can post in this forum. I've tried posting threads in the Machine Polishing section, and the car detailing section, and they don't work. I click submit thread and I get a page...

I just got a scratch fixed on the side of my 2007 Escape (deep key mark from some punk). On the website of the place I got it fixed at, they say I have to wait 90 days to wax the car. But I've read other places that 30-45 days is enough to wait. Which is it? It wasn't the entire vehicle...

I've had this 2007 Ford Escape for a bit over a month now, and it's gotten ridiculous. It started a couple of weeks after I got the car when I discovered a mystery dent on the hood. I was just about to get that fixed when some jerk keyed my passenger door (see this thread ). So lately I...

Please see this thread for details: http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=79240 Can anyone recommend a good place to have this fixed in the SF Bay Area? Specifically the Fremont/Union City/Hayward area?

I posted this thread a few days ago about a dent. I'm having a PDR guy come to work tomorrow to fix it, and I was pretty excited to have the dent gone. Flash forward to today. I take the train to work usually, and park the Escape (2007 Ford Escape for those that didn't check the other...

Yesterday I'm walking out to our 2007 Ford Escape that we've had for two weeks and I notice something on the hood. I look at an angle, and sure enough it's a dent! It's about the size of a dime, about 3/4 of the way up the hood. I have no idea where this came from, it's not like it's a door...

So I've got all my detailing supplies here for my new car from various online orders. I'm thinking about my plan of attack for my first real detailing attempt this weekend, and I realize, I forgot to order applicators!! No way I can order some and have them before the weekend. I've been...

Hello all. My wife and I just purchased a titanium green 2007 Ford Escape. Of course I want to keep it looking its best, so I need some advice. We live in apartment, and I'm pretty busy so I needed something I can do relatively quickly. A friend on another forum recommended...
