I sold my truck and bought a new car about a month ago. The *first* thing I noticed was the bubbling on the hood. I went right to the dealership to see if Chrysler would warranty the hood and they agreed to fix it. I spoke with many others who had the same issue [across the board on...

I will have a 98 Black Corvette to polish later this week. It is for a friend who purchased it with the intent of listing it and driving it until it sells. He wants the exterior improved, but at this point I do not have an idea of how bad the paint is. A few threads I found indicate the paint is...

I am driving our family's extra vehicle while I search for a new car and I have noticed annoying stains on the outside of the windshield. They are very noticeable when the wipers are on, or the light hits it right. The van I am driving has sat outside for most of the spring and has been...

I posted this up last year and had fun tracking the progress of the applied products. While the weather is nice and the season is young I figured I would try it again, using just a few more products this time and strategically applying particular products next to one another. After stripping...

This car is owned by a grandmother, and is in fairly good condition; however there was a lot to be washed away to know that. A wash and wax, and interior cleaning were requested. The car will be for sale shortly and through the course of the detail with the carpet/dash/engine bay being clean...

I had the opportunity to work on a friend’s 1971 Chevy Cheyenne over the course of the last few weeks. The owner understood I had school and exams to worry about, so he dropped it off a few weeks ago and said call me when you can get to it. Although I had picked at it on and off, I was finally...

I am working on a 1971 Chevy Cheyenne. I have it for a few weeks, so I have been doing a little bit at a time. It was two stickers on the inside of the windshield that have been there since 1998. I used a plastic razor with tarminator to remove a lot of the actual paper backing/plastic...

This car was purchased from California and brought to Michigan. It sees maybe 100 miles a year during the summer months. The wheels and tires are new to the vehicle, and the convertible top is new, and was still in great shape/beading water well. The car was also repainted about 5 years ago...

A group of softball players went on a road trip last week and covered, not only the windows with their names and cheers, but a trailer as well. I was asked by a friend if I knew of something I could use to remove the marker from the trailer. I stopped by and took a few pictures today, and was...

This is our family car, and my dad's car to drive to and from work. Since I am still a student and living at home, I thought it would be a good vehicle to correct as a thank you for everything he has done for me. I love the styling of this car and since it was released I had always wanted...

After doing a test panel, I will be finishing with m205 on a h20 tangerine pad. Before applying the LSP, I would like to know if any of these products will add gloss, increase the duration of the LSP, or in any way, be beneficial. They will most likely be applied with the PCXP and a LC gray...

I have been using it for a few weeks now and have found it to feel very lubricative, and to sud very well. I have not washed very dirty vehicles so I was not able to gauge the cleaning power. I have not seen many threads on this, nor seen many detailers use it. Is there a reason? Or is...

Finally able to try something new, but it's not the wax, it's the method of application Collinite Insulator Wax No. 845 comes in a plastic bottle with a medication type cap. I was not a huge fan so I put it in an 8oz dispensing bottle. 845 needs to be spread really thin, and it will go a...

I have a growing collection of waxes and sealants [although small comparatively speaking]. I have only done detailing on my personal vehicles, but I am always looking to see how different products look on different finishes. Once again, hyperlinked to the website I bought them from and...

I saw this on another forum and wondered who had experience with it here. I saw a few old threads, but figured I would bump the topic in a new thread. From Flashwax The youtube videos. YouTube - Wheel Cleaning with Brown Royal non-acid Cleaner YouTube - Brown Royal Non-acid...

I had this posted on another forum with hyperlinks to the website I obtained my products at, so I can remove the links if necessary. This is a thread, I hope to update regularly, with Optimum product discussion. To be honest, I have a lot of products, and am not pushing optimum but since I had...

I won this through kit through Autogeek.com I look forward to trying it out this year :up Any comments or suggestions on these products? Thanks :D

Does anyone have any experience with the Deep Gloss Total Concours Kit? I read the sealant does not have the longest life, but looks great. Can it be layered on another LSP? Thanks!

Anyone have experiences with their Metal Polishing kits, or compounds? I was looking at polishing calipers, engine bay accessories, exhaust, etc... Any input would be great, Thanks!

My good friend drives his straight truck across the state a few times a week and the tanks have taken a beating. On top of that, one of the chemicals he carries is an Alkali [not sure of the properties] but a 55gal drum opened on him and it seeped all over onto the tank, inherently causing...
