First off I would like to thank Max and the wonderful people at Autogeek, Mike and Jason especially for their role here at DC, for giving out free samples of their new line of DP products. Also, I would like to thank Dwayne and PAC for passing out the samples to a few fortunate of us here about...

It seems as though I can not add a new thread to the swap meet section of the board. Does anyone else notice this? From the homepage select the "Detail City Swap Meet" section and the "New Thread" button is not there.

Does anyone have any experiance with aggressively polishing/wetsanding carbon fiber hoods? I promised to help a friend tomorrow to prep his car for the Carslile Import show at Penn State this weekend and after taking it out of storage I found that the hood is pitted beyond belief. Are there...

I am wondering about the sound/reception quality of using an FM transmitter to play music throught your cars receiver. I recently upgraded to Napster To Go and have an iRiver H10 mp3 player. In order to play the contents of my mp3 player through my car I would need to use an FM transmitter so do...

NOT! To start I read a thread over at Autopia today about someone who burned their clutch at about 70K and people were saying that the thing sould be about shot by that time. I am reading this saying to myself "Wow, my last car went up to 135K without any problems, must be how good of a driver...

Detailed an 03 or 04 GX470 today for my girlfriends bosses wife. I did the interior of his X5 this past weekend but it was nothing too bad, just espresso spilled all over he wanted cleaned up. Anyway, it reached a balmy 55 degrees today so the weather was absolutely beautiful. There are no...

My only afternoon class was cancelled today so I did some work for a friend being that at noon it was sunny and 55, a rarity for PA in March (supposed to snow tomorrow). The car is pretty much new however the weather has been terrible and as you will see I let him use my rotary over the holiday...

I got a call while out to breakfast from a regular customer wanting me to pick up his M3 SMG right away because he is taking it to Philly tomorrow and wants to get back here tomrrow night really fast before the snow hits :lol . I last detailed the car for him in August and was working on the...

I am looking to permenantly attach a small, light piece of metal to a flat, smooth piece of plastic. What is the strongest holding adhesive that I would be able to find locally (regular old crazy glue did not hack it)? Any and all responses would be greatly appreciated.

I offered to help a friend remove some water marks from his black, of course nothing can ever be easy, 300Z. After an initial wash this morning the spots appeared to be plentiful, more than on any two cars I have ever seen, but not really deep. OK, I figured that I would make this quick and...

I am just looking for some reassurance on the usage of QEW. I can not admit that I like the idea of "waterless washing" being that it seems like you are going to be dragging dirt across your paint. However, with the temperature in the single digits all this week and next I really dont want to...

Hope this works right its my first time trying to take pics/post here being that I just got a Nikon Coolpix 4200 last week, yes it is long overdue. I could not take many pics due to the small size of my garage and that fact that I did not finish until about 10:30pm, had to watch my Colts. The...

My buddy and sometimes partner just called me and said there was some hazing on his car after using DACP today. This usually does not happen when I use it but he is slightly impatient and probably worked it too hard and fast. My question is because I dont have any #80 handy should I even...

I just helped a friend of mine with his 04 GLI this past weekend and there was no way to turn off the lights at the bottom of the four doors when they were opened (even with everything turned OFF). We didnt think much of this but after doing the whole car and taking a lunch break the battery...

A buddy of mine is looking to order a carbon fiber dash kit from an online retailer (NYC dashes or AAA exotic wood) for his TT. I was just wondering if anyone has ever ordered one or dealt with this. They adhere on top the the existing dash but I am somewhat skeptical about the...

I was wondering if anyone ever applied UPP over DACP followed by #7 (DACP--#7--UPP)? I just ran into a free gallon of both DACP and #7 and was wondering if this would work.

I have never used UPP before and it will be here on tuesday (thanks PAC), what do you guys find to be a better base AIO, PwC, or VM?

Has anyone ever used the Zymol line of paste waxes? I am specifically looking at the Ital for a Maserati I will be working on in two weeks. I have used their cleaner wax and its OK but I have no experiance with any of their pastes? Any forms of advice/reviews would be great. Thanks.
