It was as bad as the pictures show. Truck was used to haul garden materials. Passenger compartment almost looked it was used for hauling, too.

Anyone have suggestions on how to apply NXT without so much "streaking"? It seems to leave an oily residue that even when removing is just hard to get off completely. I tried it on my black Porsche, and saw it when doing a '96 red Mustang convert. I tried hand applying on the Porsche, then...

I know is autopia, meaning Autos, but I did a client's Kawasaki Concours for him to bring it up like the other vehicles in the house. I'm happy with the results, and he was thrilled. I should note the cycle is a 1988, with 40K miles on it. Process: Wash with Dawn to get all the old (if...

I posted about my problems using the rotary on this car, but finished the detail using the RO, Griots pads, and Meguiars 83 and NXT wax. Clayed following the wash, Griots leather care, window cleaner, and vinyl and rubber dressing to round out the products used. I used Mothers chrome cleaner on...

I bought a Makita thinking if I used that, I could finish in a little less time, and get a better finish than my Griot's RO. I also bought Edge pads, yellow, white, green, blue. I picked up Meguiars 82 an 83, then NXT for finishing the job. First thing- splattered polish all over the place...

Is there a thread buried somewhere for the best places to buy product? I'd like to try the other products like Menzerna, but can't find it locally. Looks to be web purchase only and I don't know the good from bad detailing product sites yet. I see the "where to buy MF" threads around, just...

It had 93K on the odo, but it had 150K in the carpets and seats. The exterior had lots of scratches and dings, so it's not worth much to post the exterior. The interior was a night/day difference.

I know you guys aren't big fans of Griot's products, but I have to say it did a fantastic job on this Bimmer. He had a few scratches, some deeper than others and some I didn't think would come out. I was surprised, and he was pleased with the results. I used the Griot's version of the PC...

Okay- so I've been asked to detail a Charger RT with Inferno Red paint. The owner was told, get this: "you don't need to wax the car because of the paint color":laugh: Have you ever heard anything like this? How can anyone tell him with a straight face his car never needs wax? Maybe, I'm...

I was approached at work by someone desperate for help. She spilled TOMATO SOUP in her front passenger floor. I looked at the rest of the inside, and boy did it need help. Here's the befores and afters. There was a lot of straw-type stuff that I need advice on removal for next time. I tried a...

Just wondering how long it takes you to wash, clay, polish, and wax a passenger car. Let's assume the car has minimal to moderate swirls/scratches. also, same car- how long to get a moderately dirty interior clean? If there's a thread on this, point me that way also. :thx

I'm new to the forum, and get confused by all the abbreviations:hairpull . Is there a glossary somewhere I haven't found? Thanks.
