Hey All, I recently performed a light polish and coating on this Tesla Model 3. The car is wrapped in PPF but the owner wanted that extra pop and protection. The PPF literally had poor hydrophobic properties as the water was behaving like it would on an unprotected vehicle. I know he invested a...

Hey Autopia fam, Does anyone have experience with repairing damaged leather car seats. Specifically leather which is cracked, has some holes, faded etc.? I have been looking in to a product called ColourLock and the kit they provide looks pretty good. The products are made in Germany. Does...

I have been looking for a rotary to add to my tools to learn and use. I currently have the ibrid long neck which I mostly use in rotary mode for tight areas and that is most of my experience as far as rotaries go. Based on Mike Phillips review over at AGO it looks to be a good machine. Some...

For those of you who detail professionally/ part time out of your home garage do you have some sort of air filtration system to help reduce or eliminate dust. I ask because I mostly detail from my garage but find in my area in GA that even with the garage door down over night I end up getting...

Lost another great one today. RIP Anthony Bourdain. “As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life — and travel — leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks — on your body or on your heart — are...

Hi All, The 2018 GMC Sierra came to me from a referral. The truck has around 5000 miles on it and your usual dealership/ swirl-o-matic induced damage along with RIDS. Based on conversation with the owner and budget we decided on a one step to correct the paint. He may do a coating down the...

Hi All I mostly use MF pads for heavier defect jobs but I have read/ heard that wool has more cut and runs cooler so I was thinking it may be better to use when I have cars with heavier defects and harder clears since I usually do multiple steps anyway. Looking for some feedback/...

Client dropped off his new 2018 Mustang GT with about 600miles on the odometer. The paint looked worse for wares with most of the damage from the dealership. Really did not look like new car paint should. Around 25 hours went in to bring this one to its proper state. Products used: Poorboys...

Hi All So I have a client who just contacted me about a scratch (more of a gash) that they tried to fix a year ago on the hood of their car. It was pretty deep down to the bare metal and they just touched it up lightly then had PPF film installed. They have asked me if I can fix the scratch. I...

Hi All Happy Holidays! I have a brand new 32oz. bottle of Menzerna SF-3500 that I will probably not use anytime soon as I have so many other polishes/ finishing polishes to use and business has been pretty slow of late. I would rather it go to a good home to one of our great members on here...

A few finished panel shots: Exhaust Tips/ Wheels Polished Sun check prior to LSP: PA Master Sealant and AngelWax Desirable. I honestly had no idea how it would look but thought what the heck lets get a little crazy. Let the PA cure for 2 hours then applied the Desirable. I...

Hey Autopia Fam Firstly, thanks for reading and secondly I apologize about the long write up. Please feel free to skip forward I won`t take offense. Background This Nissan 350z belongs to someone I work with. We got to talking a month ago about cars and he mentioned his show car. He started...

Hi All Wanted to get an idea of what folks are using to protect their interior alcantara bits? I know its more durable than suede but can you still use a fabric protection product like cquartz fabric without any issue? Looking to get an idea of what folks are using as I have a few clients who...

Hey All Not car related but I am sure many of you out there are BBQ aficionado`s. I am truly not, but I am learning as I would like to be able to master the craft of smoking. Something about our ancestors and cooking with fire, hunting for their food, cooking it over the flame, beating their...
