Today I detailied a 2003 Subaru STI. Very cool car, would have loved some seat time, but time did not allow. My fiancé gave me a cyclo for an early Christmas present and I was itching to use it. I am still learning its’ limits and proper techniques, but so far I really like the machine. The...

I have had a sample of WG sealant and precleaner for over a year now. I have a 2004 altima to detail on Saturday, I think I may give it a go. Anyone had any problems using it on black? Streaking? Better to apply with the PC or hand? How long are letting it set up? Anyone tried to...

For some reason last week I started to think about what I could do during the holidays to help those who are in unfortunate circumstances. Then a light bulb went off in my head and I knew exactly what to do. I got on a local forum and auctioned off a full detail to the highest bidder. The...

Scheduled this car two weeks ago and just now got around to detailing it. The paint was in average shape and the interior was dirty from your normal convertible conditions. The car is somewhat of a garage queen and only comes out when the weather is nice. It had its share of bugs and road...

Well, the accord has 167,000+ on her and I like to have my fiance in something that is a bit more new. She works nights and I sleep a lot better knowing that she is in something with lower miles. The Acoord has served us well since early 96 and has never put us down, but it will be sold...

I was in Kmart the other day because they are the only place that has the NXT wash(I was out). While in the car care aisle I looked up to the top shelf and saw a product that looked interesting, it is called "Pro tec no rinse wash." I saw only one bottle and no price, but I figuerd why not. I...

Today I detailed another car for the owner of the van that I did last weekend. This truck is a work truck, a child mobile, and a dog chauffer. The interior was a complete mess with spills everywhere, mud, dog hair, cany, you name it. I vac’ed, cleaned everything with an APC ( I had TOL’s...

Saturday was a really crumby day to detail here in Memphis. Rain on and off and cloudy all day. I had two details booked at the same residence. i was only to complete one because of the inclimate weather. First up, a minivan. :eek And black to boot!! Wash Clay SSR2.5 with a polishing...

I got a call the other day from a local "speed shop" to do some detailing. One car is a 2004 Honda s2000 that needed light polishing and a bit of interior cleaning. This car was really easy to work on, very clean lines. I used Hi-Temp LC with the PC and polishing pad, then topped with...

I got a call the other day from a guy that wanted to give a detail to his girlfriend as a birthday gift. What a great idea I thought. The girl had taken delivery of the car on a cloudy day and had not seen the swirl marks that the dealer had created by REMOVING WAX WITH A WOOL PAD ON THE...

I have never used a wheel cleaner on any of my wheels on my personal cars. I just don't have a need for it. When detailing the cars of others, I use a very strong acid basd wheel cleaner cut 50/50 with water. It makes the job so much quicker and gets the area behind the spokes really clean. I...

Anyone have any experience with this? I am not into tint, but would like to have the UV protection. http://www.llumar.com/na-eng/Automotive/auto-uv.html

Yesterday I had a detail scheduled for a 2004 Chevy Tahoe, the owner(a referred client) was going to sell the truch and just wanted to get it "shined up." Nothing fancy on the paint or the interior, just enough to sell it. He told me that he used it to travel on his farm and that sometimes he...

I must be doing something wrong. This product is designed to be an easy to use one step. Here is my problem, it is a BEAR to get off. I applied a very small amount to a meguiars polishing pad on the pC and applied it section by section. I applied it @5 until it almost disappeared, then...

Northern KY, Cinci area? A bit of wet sanding and rotary use is a must. Please PM me, I have a prospect for you.

Today I had the privelige to work on a truely beautiful 1992 Acura NSX. The paint was in decent shape, but had its share of marring and swirls. The front bumper, front and rear bumpers, as well as the side skirts are all very rare imported pieces. The painter did not do a very good job on...

Though I have been a domesticated monogomous male for more than 10 years, I have yet to take the plunge. Why? Well you see there is this issue with the ring when detailing that I just can't get over. Married guys, when detailing do you remove the ring? It seems that I would have to. Being...

I washed my car last night and had some unexpected free time today so.....I tried out the new pinnacle SMR. First impressions: It is very think A little goes a long way It does NOT like to have a damp pad, makes removal much harder When applied thinly it removes very easily If you like...

I picked this product up at big lots yesterday. It's called EAGLE ONE INTERIOR/EXTERIOR PROTECTANT LOTION." It looks like it was marketed outside of the U.S. as the directions are in french and english. The units of measure are metric. From the back "non-oily..........revitalizes &...
