What method(s) and product(s) do you recommend for light carpet and/or upholstery cleaning without having access to an extractor? Thanks...

I spent Mother's Day working on my Mom's 2000 Sebring Convertible. It hadn't been shown any TLC in 8 years, so I knew that I had my work cut out for me. Unfortunately the forecast for the day was 55 degrees and rainy, so I planned on being wet and cold as well. When I inspected the car, I...

After using an APC to clean areas such as the wheel wells and engine bay, what product(s) would you recommend for finishing them? I'd prefer something that doesn't leave an extremely greasy residue, and all the better if I can get a larger quantity for mixing and using in a spray bottle (as...

I'm going to be using UF for the first time this weekend with my PC, and was looking for some advice from those of you that have used it. I have both grey and blue CCS pads. How much time does it require to be worked in? What speed(s) seem to yield best results? Anything else I should know...

I'm not sure if it's because of the water at my house, but I can't avoid heavy streaks and spots after washing. I've tried many different kinds of wash chemicals, but it doesn't seem to help. Most of the time I'll blow off as much water as I can first, but that doesn't seem to help much either...

I know this is more designed for rotary use, but can you still get good results with a PC? I was planning on a mix of M105 and OC per the suggestion of Scottwax... Thanks in advance.

I'm getting ready to work on my Mom's 2000 Sebring convertible (tan color) for her mother's day gift (I know...pretty nice of me!). I looked at it today, and it's been pretty badly neglected. It's got plenty of swirls and RIDS, and is overall pretty dull looking (sorry, no pics). For those...

Last week I posted some photos after OPS and DWG. I just received my P21S 100% to try out, so I thought I'd snap a few photos. All I did today was a quick wash using NXT/ONR mix, and then applied a coat of the 100%. The stuff goes on very easy, and comes off with very little work. Before the...

Here are a few pics from my spring cleanup yesterday. I drove the car around a bit, plus it sat out overnight and got covered in dew...so it's a bit dusty and not as crisp as it was right after the detail. There were some light swirls, and a few scratches here and there, but not too bad...

I've got a few light scratches on my Acura Nighthawk Black Pearl paint (courtesy of my 7 year old), and need some help getting them out. They're pretty light scratches relatively speaking. I first tried ZPC with an orange pad on my PC, but that didn't cut it. I've never had to use anything...

I am looking for a product to detail the interior of my car...vinyl, plastic, and OK if it gets on leather. I don't want shine, nor do I want a greasy or slippery residue afterwards. Can anybody give me some recommendations for good products to clean/protect interiors? Thanks.

Yesterday I posted some night photos of the new TL-S after hitting it with Poli-Seal and Natty's Blue. The weather cooperated today, so I went out and got some good photos during the day. In a few of them, you can really notice the blue flake in the black paint.

The car is only a week old, and I wanted to try something new. I ordered up some Optimum Poli-Seal along with Natty's Blue. Please excuse the grainy photos...my older camera gets very noisy when kicking up the ISO for dark shots. I finished the job at night, and it's been raining all day so I...

I've got some Poli-Seal on the way, and looking forward to using it for the first time. I have used Z-PC on a few other vehicles, and it required a bit of a learning curve...just want to cut down on the learning curve-time with the PS. I have a few questions though before I get into it...

I just applied AIO/SG on my new black TL, but based on some reading I've done about black vehicles, I want to try Optimum Poli-Seal topped with Natty's Blue. Do I need to use anything in particular to clean off the SG first (if so, what?), or will the Optimum alone do the trick? Thanks...

I just brought home my new 07 TL Type-S the other day...these cars are insane! I told the dealer that I didn't want their prep department cleaning (scratching) my new ride prior to delivery, so they sent me home with all of the plastic still on it. I only had about 4 hours to work on it...

I'm going to be taking delivery today of a 2007 Acura TL Type S, black/black! :) I want to protect the paint from winter that for some reason hasn't arrived yet. I've been using AIO/SG on my RSX-S and Odyssey, and have been very happy with the results. Since I have plenty of it on hand, I was...

I was very happy with my first use of AIO on my car, and after reading on the label that it is good for just about any hard surface, I thought that I'd look around for other things to polish. First I used it on my Mirage OM-9 speakers with black laquer finish. Easy on, easy off, awesome...

This was my first experience at "real" detailing (I only thought I knew how to keep a car looking good before!), and I wanted to see if there are any other products I might want to consider to get the best results. I have an '04 Acura RSX-S, Milano Red (am I the only person that thinks Acura...

Just taking a quick moment to chime in and say hello. I've been reading through many different posts and tutorials, and have learned a lot in just a few short days. I've already thrown out everything I (thought) knew about detailing, and started from a clean slate based on my research. In a...
