    Any Austin detailers good at removing dog and other interior odors?

    I need some help with removing some combination of dog//zoo/mold odor from my car`s interior (as conveyed by different people). I need someone sxperienced in removing the odor. The car has leather interior. I think the previous owner had a puppy in the back seats. Thanks

    paint is almost swirl free but...

    I got a good detailer to polish out my cars. He did a really good job trying to remove all the swirls and sealed with #21. The next day, my wife said her car looked very smooth but it didn't "wow" her. Trying to ramp up the bling, I quick detailed the whole car using ONR, applied DWG by hand...

    mixing 303 with quick interior detailer

    I want the protection of 303 but the cleaning ability of Meguiar's quik interior detailer in one spray. Has anyone tried mixing the two 50:50 and then using it like the quick interior detailer (WOWO)? The reason I want to do this is because the QID says it doesn't leave behind enough...

    best applicator for WOWA products

    I mostly just lurk and rarely contribute to the forum but I thought I would share something that I found at the local autozone. I couldn't find a picture of it on the internet but here is one that is similar. The one from autozone is more oval and fits very snug with 4 fingers. Last...

    I've concluded, ss paint needs the sun

    By that, I don't mean ss paint needs to fade. It's just ironic that ss paint doesn't have the reflectivity of b/c. So, it was really obvious to me that only under very bright and sunny light that well detailed ss paint will show its stuff. I've also noticed that they don't look particularly...

    my MR2 at the company car show

    Hi, this is my first click & brag ever. It is a 1993 Toyota MR2 with original ss red paint. The paint was in pretty good condition as far as oxidation is concerned. Whole detail still took me 4 weekends and about 35 hours to complete. I'm a slow detailer. :dance My process: for...

    how to get this clean?

    This is a picture of the engine bay when I just bought the car. After spraying with orange degreaser, brushing lightly and spraying with a water hose, I got it to look like the picture again. But you can see the valve cover isn't as clean as the intake or the heatshield, especially between the...

    #81 vs Natty's Blue

    My car's SS red paint was in OK condition to begin with. A month ago, I went over the whole car with #80, #81 and 476S. It made a significant enough difference for my wife to notice and say "wow!". To prepare for a car show next weekend, I applied Natty's Blue (first time I've used it) to...

    couple waxing question

    I was preparing my car for an upcoming company car show. When I was applying a 3rd layer of 476S to the hood (previous two layers applied over 2 days a week ago), I think tried to spread it *too* thin. I'm inexperienced with this wax by the way. What I really did was I stuck the edges of a 4"...

    4" orange pad burnt my trim

    I was using the green polishing pad before with the new OC, it didn't do anything to the trim, but it was taking forever to remove swirls, so I switched to the orange pad. The strip of paint there is very narrow, probably only 1" wide. I have such bad luck. :((

    does 303 have any cleaning ability?

    I was wondering if I need to clean the interior vinyl and plastic surfaces before applying 303 aerospace protectant? The description doesn't say it has cleaning ability but I think I read somewhere that it does. Can you please clarify that for me? Also, if the vinyl has a previously applied...

    single stage red - how to make it wet?

    Hello, I am asking this question because after spending 4 hours on the hood of my red 93 Toyota MR2 with #80 speed glaze, #81 hand polish and one coat of Collinite 845, I was really happy with the way it turned out. I pulled the car out this morning and immediately noticed the clear and deep...
