Considering I am still in the group that does not have a digicam (yet), I thought I would chime in for those who are still using film. One thing to remember with film is that the higher the speed is, the grainer the pic is going to be. A few of the Maxima's shots I scanned were taken with...

One of my co-workers has a Stealth with what looks like severe clearcoat failure in one spot. He would like advice on what to do about this. My personal thought would be to get it sanded down and reshoot the clear in that location.

Has anyone worked on a business plan for their detail shop? If so, what exactly were the costs you outlined in the plan? I need one so I can get an idea of how to get mine off the ground.

Does anyone know a good wheeled stool for detailing that can support someone of my heft (around 370 lbs)?

As I posted in Customizing, I am putting a nice system in the '02 Maxima (not that the stock radio is a bad thing) but I miss my Eclipse. To reiterate, this is what's going in the Max: Eclipse 4441 AM/FM/Cass/CD Changer Controller Eclipse CH5061 In-Dash CD Changer JL Audio 500/5 Amp JL...

Anyone do any detiling this weekend? I washed my Pastor's Concorde yesterday. I am planning to clean the Maxima today.

I have a friend whose '96 Maxima (Icelandic Pearl) has a huge coffee (1/4 of the rear quarter panel) stain on it. The stain has been sitting on the car for a year. Also, the car does have oxidation on it. Last night, I tried claying it (didn't put a dent in it). I tried using AIO (Didn't work...

It's time for another weekend detailing check. In my case, the Maxima will be getting the following done to it: Wash with Dawn Clay with Clay Magic 1x AIO Souveran I don't think it's going to take me 8 hrs like the last time. :D

What's everyone's detailing plans for the weekend? Mine? Well, the Maxima needs a bath and I might do the Pastor's Concorde. I might consider cleaning the interior carpet of the Maxima. :D

Even though this is an off topic forum where we can shoot the breeze and talk about non-detailing related topics, the rules of Autopia still apply here. That means the same civility and respect we show to one another when on the other forums are to be extended here. Thank you Moderators :D

Having used all three bars, I can give you a brief review of each. Clay Magic Pros: Very soft and pliable, very effective in removing contaminants, Natural Clay, Price Cons: Will leave residue on un-lubed areas if you aren't careful (residue can be removed with a MT and the lube) I...

The thing I have greatly feared has come upon me - Job In a nutshell, I have been talking about detailing my father's Navigator for a while. I admit, that is a HUGE proposition but I do intend to try and tackle it for Father's Day. Here's the plan of attack as revised from last year. a)...

Today, I decided to take advantage of a nice 70 degree day in Chicago to clean the Max. Originally, I had planned to just clay and then Souveran. But the project kind of evolved into something more. I wound up taking the following steps to clean the Maxima today: Wash with Meguiar's Gold...
