    '09 Toyota Corolla (free job for a friend)

    A buddy of mine has watched our dogs a few times while the wife and I went on vacation and wouldn't take money as gratitude, so I told him I would detail his car. I'll start off by saying this car has been washed maybe a total of 4 times in its short life. He's not a detailing enthusiast, but...

    iPhone forum app?

    I've seen a few "sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk" posts, so I was wondering if anybody knows of any free iPhone forum apps that will link to Autopia. So far I haven't had luck with TouchBB lite or ForumRFree :smash:. Thanks in advance.

    Prep for OC2.0 w/several rock chips in bumper

    I can post a good picture later when it gets nice outside, but the previous owner of my MDX had installed probably 2 dozen rock chips in the front bumper cover (with a few on the front of the hood). Anyone have a good place to order some paint chip repair kit/paint/how-to techniques? There are...

    How many vehicles can you do with Opti-Coat 2.0?

    About to 'pull the trigger' and get some OC2.0 for my SUV, but I would like to know if after doing my '07 MDX I would have enough to do another vehicle or 2 (I plan on coating everything exterior except maybe plastic bumper covers). I know that it depends on how wasteful it gets over-applied...

    Favorite Air Freshener? Anyone try 3D?

    I've only been using Febreeze sprays in the past, but I'd like to get a good "New Car" scent. I'm curious to see how long the 3D products last or any other brand if anyone has a personal preference.

    What are these 2 little wires that came with my GG 6" DA polisher?

    So I've been meaning to ask this for a while but never got around to it... When I received my GG 6" DA polisher, it came with all the normal hardware listed on the box, along with a little zipped baggie with what look like 2 small bonding wires with small rectangular-shaped...

    What is your go-to for a 1 step product?

    I've done a search and there seems to be a misconception as to of what "1 step" really means. I've always thought that it was basically (from a detail package standpoint) Wash/Clay/use a Polish-Wax combo and then call it a day (along with some tire/wheel/trim detailing of course), but when...

    DD Uber Yellow pad flaking?

    Meant to post this a week ago or so, but after receiving my Detailer's Domain "Uber" pad set, they all seemed to do pretty good, however the yellow Compounding pad with light-medium pressure and using Meg's UC was causing bits of the pad to flake off. Is this just fresh foam losing its extra...

    OTC Microfiber and Foam Pad cleaner?

    Want to know of any products safe to use on cleaning microfiber towels and foam pads, seeing as how I'm almost out of my CG pad cleaning solvent but don't want to be at the mercy of UPS for the rest of my detailing life for when I forget to restock early. Thanks in advance!

    When does Autogeek Free Shipping happen?

    I noticed this weekend when browsing autogeek.net that they had free shipping for orders over $95 and it was ~3hrs long until the deal expired. Same thing happened earlier today when browsing again, I didn't note the time on either of them but I would like to know if its a daily occurrence at...

    Heavy scratch correction... Uno v3/D300 & Megs MF Pads/Foam Pads

    After searching and reading enough reviews about correction polishes (and doing a 2006 Civic with a trunk and hood with heavier scratches than I could correct using UC/UP/Swirl-X :mad:), I need something a little stronger in my lineup for the severe jobs. Anyway, I've narrowed it down to getting...

    Bulk amount of Quick Detailer (aka Clay Lubricant)

    I've been using the regular OTC Meguiar's Quik Detailer for claying, but as I get rougher condition jobs, I see myself having to replenish this the most often out of my detailing products. Just wondering if anyone knows of a good replacement or place to purchase some of this in a larger quantity...

    Anyon use Rain-X extreme clean on etched glass water spots?

    Bought a bottle of this a while back and couldn't yield any results on the etched water spots on my glass (tried clay bar and even very careful with CLR afterwards) by hand with foam applicator. Now that I have a DA polisher, I'm wondering if it's worth it for round 2 against my glass with this...

    Help me fill in any gaps in my detailing lineup!

    Trying to better understand the purposes of what/how to use what I've got since I'm a newbie to using a DA polisher. 1) Car Wash - 2 bucket method used here (obvious tep) 2) Clay Bar - obvious again 3) Deep Crystal Polish - normal pre-wax polish/very light swirl remover & deepens gloss 3)...

    GG 6" DA Polisher... 10' or 25' cord = power difference?

    Just returned my PCXP for a GG 6" DA Polisher based on the great reviews based on this forum (and the fact that I wasn't too impressed by the PCXP). So anyway, onto my question... Is it really going to affect the performance of the polisher by upgrading to the lower GA 25' cord? I'm already...
