I sometimes detail a 2006 Mercedes S65 AMG. It has real suede headliner and trim in various places. I am hesitant to use any of my products on the suede before doing a little research..anyone have any experience here? Thx

I've looked at both home depots and lowes' websites, and none of them have much in the way of work lights. It seems almost everyone here has the double halogen or xenon lights on some sort of stand, that they are able to shoot at a panel and show swirls/corrections... where are you guys getting...

My buddy just moved into a new (to him) house. He apparently spilled some gas on the garage floor while filling his mower, and now the spots where the gasoline spilled are much lighter than the rest of the garage floor. Is there anything that can be done to make the floor look better? Thx

Hey guys. I'm doing a 2000 Eclipse right now, and it's pretty much the first time I've used the rotary on anyone else's vehicle. I had good results on my truck, removing all the swirls on my roof, but this eclipse is proving pretty stubborn. The swirls are everywhere and horrible. I've just...

Hey guys. I just took my first pass at using my new rotary, since my small backplate and 6.5" meguairs softbuff pads just showed up. I got the burgundy cutting pad and the yellow polishing pad. I figured I should start out with the yellow pad, which was probably a good call. I don't have any...

Hey guys. I did this car tonight for a neighbor, and wow was it pretty dirty! It would seem the car was used as a kennel for long haired dogs and cats ;) Anyway she is looking a lot better now, I really like this car. What do you guys think? Process Exterior: -Wash with Griot's car wash...

Hey guys. I just took delivery of my Makita 9227c, yet don't have any pads to try it out with..bummer. In any case, I'd love some recommendations on a basic arsenal of pads to get for use with my new rotary. I have a random orbital to do final polishing and waxing/sealing duties, with griot's...

Hey guys. I'm guilty of driving pretty often with the windows down in my truck. I've noticed the inside of the rear window gets really dirty, which is easy to clean, but I'm noticing the headliner back there is literaly turning black/dark grey, from its light grey original color. What's the best...

Hey there. Looking for an autopian quality detailer in or near Chico, CA. Anyone around? Thanks! :usa

Hey guys. I've tried Griot's#2, and now today SSR 2.5 and both remove I'd say 70-80% of the swirls...but the deeper swirls and scratches remain and drive me nuts. I haven't gone as far as trying ssr3 or any of the polishes designed for heavier swirls - nor do I have a rotary buffer, but I...

This car has only been washed 3 or 4 times in the 20k the owner has driven it, it's just turned a year old. It's never been waxed or detailed in any way. It came back to life quite nicely, luckily it's still pretty young! It's a good friend's car and I did it for free for her. What do you guys...

This badboy is a new addition to our garage, and let me just say that if you get a chance to drive one of these things..take it! You might want a clean pair of shorts too :) Before anyone gets excited, I know I still have to go down and do the exhaust tips. Sometimes I just have to go down the...

The previous owner of this car was an autopia forum member, so I am happy to say it didn't need much if any prep work..there were NO swirls! :wow: All it took was a solid run with Klasse AIO on 6, a coat of Klasse SG, and then a second coat of SG the next morning. She's looking pretty nice in...

Hey guys - new to the forum so go easy on me :) I am not finished yet but the truck is starting to come along. It's an 04 HD Ram with Cummins turbodiesel, 74k miles. It's parked outside (doesn't fit in the garage) year round, and all winter long is literally white on the sides with the nasty...

Hey guys - first post. I have a 7336 that I was given as a gift, originally from Griot's garage. I used it for maybe 10-12 details over the course of 2-3 years. It was always very smooth and easy to use. The last time I went to use it I was shocked. I don't know what changed, but all of a sudden...
