Decisions, decisions... I'm on the fence here, need advice. I'm not sure if I should put some time/effort/money into getting my car back to the beauty she once was, or to buy the new version that just came out... If I keep my car: Pro's: Cheaper (almost paid off) I've put...

Anyone paint their car themselves? My dad is in the process of painting his MGB, and I'm considering pulling my 96 miata in there afterwards... We'd be using base/clear, but I have a bunch of general questions.. 1) flex additive. How's it work? Can I mix it into the entire batch, or...

Yeah, I f'ed up. Help me. So my girl just got a new Cooper S. Badass car. I love it to death. So after a week of letting her break the car in, I bring it home for it's first full detail. It came out beautifully. The car looked immacutlate. The short version of the story is that...

So now that i'm a broke *** homeowner, I'm wanting to start a bit of a weekend/weeknight mobile detailing racket to supplement my income... Any tips on gaining clients??? How did you guys start? Do you have a fee schedule? A price list? Can I see/steal it?? I have the everything but...

My house! Ok, so you can't see the garage very well. It's on the left side of the house, set back a little.... Just bought it yesterday! See my threads in 'hot tub' for details! :bounce :bounce :bounce :bounce :bounce

Just thought you guys would like to hear about this new little trick i've learned... This is going to sound odd, but it really works... For cleaning vinyl, not just dressing it up, I've just discovered a technique that works wonders.. First, get your favorite dressing... I like 303 or...

subject says it all.... I'm a big fine cut user, but have always wanted to try DACP. I've just run out of fine cut, and am getting ready to order more. I use it as a starting product to remove major swirls and scratches. I always use it with the yellow PC pad, and it's pretty agressive...

This is my gir'l's 98 toyota, which has never been waxed, and if it has been washed, it was before we started dating, 6 months ago... Process was: wash (nxt wash) FI-II fine cut Gliptone pro buff gliptone teflon wax Here's the fender before:

Got my hands on some of this stuff recently, and decided to give it a try due to the claims made: Designed for clear coats, blacks, reds, and custom paint jobs. No polymers, plastic base resins, silicons, or teflons. Just good old carnauba, the oldest, hardest shell, longest lasting wax to...

Forgive my ignorance, but I need some general help. The majority of the great information on this site is geared towards the exterior, tires, leather, and vinyl trim. I've soaked all of that up with a sponge, and my car's never looked better! But what about the interior? How do you get...

Both of my white pads and my black polishing pad are starting to lose the velcro.... Does anyone have any tips for reattaching these? The pads themselves have at least another month of use on em, and I could sure benefit from saving the $$ for the time being.... Thanks!

A guy with a midnight blue Porsche 944 has asked me to do a full (interior/exterior/engine) detail of his car. I've never dipped into the pro side of detailing, and don't know where to start. First off is price. I don't want to super over charge for this, but I don't wanna waste my time...

Anyone use any gliptone products? They sell em at Napa, pepboys and all, but i've searched and searched, and never seen anything written about them. I've tried their QD (bright pink) and I like it a lot. But they have a few paste waxes and such that I keep getting sooo close to buying...

Lookin to pick up a rotary, just for fun... Thoughts on this one? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=46507

Hey guys, About a year or so ago, I had the car repainted as part of an insurance claim for vandalism. The body shop did a great job, except for one thing: The nose of my car keeps chipping like there's no tomorrow.. I've already had the nose repainted twice, and it keeps on doing...

I'm looking to try something new on the racecar this spring. I'm set with the rest of my combo, which looks like: AIOx2 followed by one of the following (2 coats of each): S100 SG NXT #26 depending on my mood. What I need is a SMR I've tried FI-fine cut, DACP, SEC, and 3M...

So on my lunch break, I found a shady spot, and put on a layer of NXT. I had to run back into work to fix a network shortage, and upon looking out my window, noticed that the sun moved on me, and she's in the sun with a coat still on her. It's about 50 degrees and sunny. What am I in for...

These are my current rims: (3rd picture down) http://miata.cardomain.com/memberpage/205969/4 and http://miata.cardomain.com/memberpage/205969/1 I've been offered the 2000 spyder rims for free. Have a look at em on this beautiful example: http://www.96k.com/miata/96m/ They're an inch...

Yesterday, I was at work, and was on the phone outside of my office.. I noticed some smudges on my hood, so while on the phone, I broke out the S100 in my trunk, and waxed my hood... Looked great. I think everyone at the office thinks i'm insane... Oh, and NXT is still looking awesome... :p

The silver painted rims on my miata have got to be the worst rims to clean, ever. It's not that the pattern is hard to get into, or anything like that. They almost seem porous... Like the brake dust gets into little dimples and crevises that I can't get it out of, no matter how I clean...
