Here's my situiation: saving for porter cable (and trying to befriend a girl at lowe's ... discount baby!) but in the meantime, i want to have more products to play with. I have the 1Z Ultra, Paint, and Metallic polishes as well as Glanz Wax, and several paste carnaubas. I'm looking at going...

Hey all, new product here that i've never seen before. so i'm in Target and i happen to wander into the car section (like i always do ...) and i'm lookin around and its not too bad. LOTS of GC Shampoo for pretty cheap, but i just bought 1/2 gallon of E1 ... :nixweiss but i'm lookin, and...

So i'm in walmart buying a headlight bulb for my dad's honda accord (hey, it was an excuse to drive my bimmer) and of course, the automotive stuff is right by the detailing stuff ... so i look again to make sure that there really isn't that much worthwhile at Walmart. As i stroll up, some...

Its go great when everything comes together for perfection! For the past few days, i've been gathering tools and supplies for a major detail. Tomorrow @1:00 i'm picking up my new (to me) BMW 325is! I'm excited and to top it all off, just looked outside and found a package from Detailers...

I like the 303 Protectant and i use it for a LOT of different things ... both interior and exterior of the car, but are there any comparable alternatives that i can pick up (maybe even locally) to use on customers cars? the stuff is rather expensive and because its to multipurpose, it ends up...

Hello Well, first of all, i'm planning on removing the swirls in my paint with Einszett. I'm pretty convinced that this is the way is should go, as far as hand applications go. There may be others but i'll go with 1Z for now my question is how do i go from using 1Z pp or mp to the Klasse...

Hello all, i love detailing cars and there are a lot of people who notice the cars i've done (family cars) and praise my work. Summer has begun for me and besides a regular job, i would like to also detail cars. I already have two guys that i know who would like me to detail their cars...

Well, i've seen a lot of good stuff about EX-P and i like its ability to be used in the sun ... since i have no garage. It also seems that VM is great under EX-P (and i def. want to see this for myself) but my car needs some swirl removal work before all of this. I haven't heard too much about...

So, from all my time here, i've decided that i'm gonna go for 1z polishes and i know of a few places to get them on the net ... but here's the new thing: lately, i've been looking into UPP and i think i'm gonna top the 1z stuff with the UPP (interject here if i'm wrong) so i just want to...

Hello Everyone First off ... let me state my purpose: to achieve the best results BY HAND in removing swirls on my car without leaving oils/fillers/etc. to cover up the swirls i have a '93 Volvo 850 that's not in too bad contition. I'm 16 and i've had her for almost a year now ... and i'm...

Hello Everyone i'm fairly new, but i am obsessed about keeping my car looking good and i'm sure i'm not the only obsessed one out there ... heck, sometimes i open the door for my mom just because i dont like her nails scratching underneath the door handle ... (but i am a gentlman as well of...

Hey all i'm fairly new to detailing, but i am having fun. besides a few small pitmarks and bad touch-up jobs from a previous owner, my car is in pretty good shape for being over 10- years old. The thing that really bugs me is my black trim. I purchased the Forever Black kit, and for a...
