    Polishing in direct sunlight

    So, I'm sure this has been covered, but it's kind of a story followed up by a few questions. I live right down the street from a shop that usually deals with Euro cars, and mostly MB's at that. Well I'm guessing they have a guy who they recommend to customers for detailing, because I always...

    Cleaning Cupholders

    So I think one of the biggest challenges for me when doing the interior detail is the cupholder. I wouldn't say I have huge hands, but they definitely arent cupholder sized. My current method is to spray some APC directly into the cupholder, then try and get like three fingers with an MF...

    Buffing Cracked paint??

    So a friend of mine has a 2004 Eclipse that she was asking if I could take care of some oxidization on for her. I got a chance to look at it, and the roof is pretty bad, the clear is pretty dull, but not flakey yet, however, there are some spots where it's cracked. Would be buffing on the...

    So just thought I'd post up this video for anyone wondering how well the P21s Concours beads. This isn't their 100% Carnauba, but I think it still beads pretty well. This video was shot 1 week, and 1 rainstorm after I put it on my car. Enjoy! <object width="400" height="300"><param...

    Carnauba: From the Pot to the Pad

    So for those of who who use Carnauba waxes that come in the little pot, P21s, Swisvaxx, Collinite, Zymol etc, etc... how do you get it to the pad you're using to apply it? With the smaller pots I've heard that people hold the pot upside down and shake it till the wax comes and then rub it on...

    Newbe from the Desert

    Hi all, new here. I hail from Arizona, and boy is it a pain to keep cars clean here haha. Within a day of washing your car will be covered in a nice layer of dust. Anyhow I've just recently gotten into serious detailing, and bought myself a bunch of toys to help out the process. PC...
