Today I did a quick detail on a 1998 Buick Park Ave with 100,000 miles on it. The owner wanted a quick cleanup so I got it washed up and cleaned the paint with PwS, polishing pad with the PC and topped that with OCW. The inside got a normal treatment of a vacuum, folex, woolite, Meg's #40 and...

Well it sure has been a busy week for me. I had a Scion on Tues., the bike on Wed, a Toyota Pruis yesterday and a Toyota Camry today. The owner just wanted a wash and wax and an interior wipedown on this car. After the wash I noticed some nice dealer installed rotary holograms along with other...

I did a little polishing on my dad's Harley this morning and decided to take some pictures. As the title says it is a 2006 Harley Davidison Electra Glide Classic. He bought it as a dealer demo that has about $2,000 worth of extras of chrome on it. It looked great from the dealer but somehow over...

Hey everyone, just finished up another detail to show off :). The day started off with temps around 40 and strong winds. This is a 2006 Scion TC that has been in 2 accidents- 1 on passenger fender, 1 on drivers side front fender. So the paint isn't the greatest. There were tons of drips...

How long would you use a particular microfiber towel before demoting it to glass, wheels, engine duty? I have a large supply of quality microfibers and I don't think I'd be able to use them in grungy areas, even if the towel is at the end of its life... which I am still trying to figure when...

Hey everyone- my first big detail of the season is done. Big it was. The paint was in very bad condition as you'll see from the pics below. The whole car looked like the hood. I started off with a rotary and Optimum Hyper Compound but the rotary wasn't cooperating with me so after a few quick...

QEW and ONR and DP 4in1 are all great hoseless washes for the paint but cleaning neglected wheels can be difficult without using a hose. So here is a little how I do such a task. I had a hose available to use but the temperature was dropping below freezing fast so I decided to do a quick body...

Hey everyone- Just a little reminder to let everyone know that the chat room is up and working again!! So if you have a few minutes why don't you stop on by and see what's going on??? I'll be in there off and on tonight and I hope to see other people in there ... I'm getting sick of talking...

How many pads does everyone have? I am curious to see how many of each cut people have on hand when they detail. It doesn't matter if you detail full time or just as a hobby, how many pads do you have? You don't have to list the manufacturer, size, or machine used with but that info would be...

A few of you may know that I am in the process of building a motorcycle... well I'm actually converting my dirt bike into a street bike- a supermoto. Even though it doesn't have much paint on it, it is a 2000 DRZ-400E that has seen the last 6 years in the mud and dirt :lol:. Now the local...

Hey Steve- I see quite a few vendors online who released Polish with Sealant. From the looks of it you stuck with the version 1 color of orange :yay! Any ideas when it'll be available from you and or your site, DC.com or AG?? Thanks Kevin

Hi everyone I just got back from a vacation in Florida and while I was down there I picked up a natural sea sponge for car washing duty. It is the wool type sponge which is surprisingly soft. I never would have thought of using one of these on a car but at the store they had a bucket of water...

Hey everyone. I am curious, what products are people are using for a nice glossy/wet look?? It could be from polishing, glaze, wax, sealant, whatever. This may seem like a very broad topic but I'd like to hear people's opinions of this topic today. Getting products to look wet / glossy on...

Earlier this week there was an amazing meteor shower caught on tape: Caught On Tape: Meteor Shower I think I linked to the video right if you haven't seen it yet. The caption: "Streaks of light are seen across the sky from Colorado to Kansas. The Air Force says it's probably a meteor shower...

Steve at Poorboy's World was gracious enough to give away samples of the new Polish with Sealant version 3 to many DC members. Now I think it is our turn to give our reviews, opinions, input, pictures, recommendations, etc. in this thread to make this product the best that it can be. So if you...

Lets talk about Duragloss #601 Polish Bonding Agent. I know the process and for those that do not: -Apply by hand to a clean finish. Thin, thin, thin. Let haze for 10 minutes, do not remove, apply a polymer sealant on top, let haze and remove them both together. Seems simple enough... but...

I usually use 3 or 4 sheepskin wash mitts when washing a car and I'm going to be changing out to shmitts very soon. How many would you use or do you use? Or how many did you buy (for washing, not wheels, tires etc)? Thanks!

Steve- Would using S&W on motorcycle tires leave residue on them that could potentially cause it to lose grip? It's a major pain to get out a brush and srub tires especially on heavy touring bikes with big fenders but I also don't want a dirty tire... any opinions on this? A quick cleanup of...

Hey everyone. I have been a member here for over 3 years now and that's a problem- I have too much stuff. I have all kinds of detailing products and many of them I don't use anymore. These include Black Magic, Dupont, some Megs stuff, various brushes, sponges, soaps, waxes, tire shine, etc. etc...

As we all know the Detail Showcase isn't working so I figured it would be ok to post it up in this section. Anyways, I'm on vacation right now (going to NC, Charlotte/Moorseville) and detailed up our motorhome. I was planning on using ProPolish and then top with an LSP, but when the PP didn't...
