Anyone ever attempt to polish an iphone screen? I just got a little scratch on the screen. I was wondering if some nano polish or p85rd and my flex would do the job.

I've never waxed my car before without doing all the other steps before. Strip, clay, polish, seal, wax. I haven't needed to polish the car for a while. It's been over a year since the last full detail. My car is a garage queen, and I can't imagine it picking that many contaminants. I just...

I recently purchased some used engine crashbars for my motorcycle. They have some normal wear & tear on them, but im not too happy with an attempted re-paint to a scratch. Im trying to figure out what I can do to make it look a little better. Im not concerned about making it perfect, but I...

Ive searched all over the internet, and came across MF bath towels, but I dont trust the blends. Heres my situation. My car is always clean & always in the garage. The problem is when the garage door opens & closes. It drips a little water (when its wet outside) onto the trunk. Also, if its...

Im a short guy, 5'6", but I tell the ladies im 5'7", lol. I currently stand on a 2 step, folding step ladder. Its really a problem. I dont want to lean forward too much and tip it into the car. I really cant get a good height to put the proper pressure on my Flex. what is everyone standing...

Im finally getting ready to polish the car, and have a few concerns about my pad choices. Products im using: FLEX 1st) PO106FA with 5.5" LC HT Cyan pad 2nd) PO85RD with 5.5" LC HT Crimson or Tangerine pad 3rd) CG Jetseal 109 with 6.5" Blue LC CCS or Black 5.5" LC CCS pad. First...

Its finally an amazing day outside, and I think I will finally take a stab at polishing the car. I have had the Flex sitting around since Xmas (gift from gf). I basically spent all winter researching techniques, products, etc. I have also purchased every item possible from ipa's, polishes, pads...

So, yesterday was a productive day off. I washed my Bimmer and Beemer, & washed my van. I thought the van was going to need 2 buckets of soapy water, but I had one extra. I figured I'd be nice and give my sisters Honda a quickie. After washing it, I opened the door to look at the inside. OMG...

Okay, I was wondering if all of you feel the same way, or am I just a low down, bad guy. Being an Autopian, I try to educate other people about keeping their cars clean, using the right products & methods, and how certain blemishes can be fixed with the right stuff. Most of my friends are...

Ive been looking for another car for a while now to drive to work. There are just too many cars and people around. Its only a matter of time before my car gets damaged.....again.,... I really dont have they extra money to justify another car, so Ive been slowly looking for a "good" car...

gearing up to finally doing some paint correction on my BMW, ive been practicing on other cars. Im still nervous to start the process on my 09 135i. I really seem to be having a hard time controlling the Flex on speeds 4 and higher. The machine is pulling me around, especially on vertical...

Once the weather breaks here in NY, I will be be polishing my 09 135i. The paint is in great shape, and only has a tiny amount of swirling. Obviously, dawn & clay first. I was going to start with Menzerna PO106FF with a LC Hydrotech Tangerine 5.5" pad. Then Mezerna P085RD with LC...

I recently found a little spot on my Savanna Beige leather seat. It seems like something stuck to my leather jacket, and I sat in the car with my jacket on. Its not a dry stain. Seems like the object was a little gummy(thick/resin). Its just a tiny mark, nothing big. I would like to invest in...

Spring is in the air, and I turned on my outside faucet last weekend. Im in the market for a new nozzle. I purchased a nice fireman's nozzle from the NY auto show a few years back. It works great, but I hate the 2 handed operation, especially when you have a mitt on one of your hands...

anyone get a chance to try it yet? Any differences?

After a little road trip with my gf, I feel that I should carry some essentials with me to help keep the car looking clean. Obviously, when youre on vacation or away from home, the last thing on your list is washing your car. After a long drive on the interstate, you acquire bug splats, brake...

We have a "snow-icane" here in NY, and I have a dilemma. I washed the car on Monday, and haven't driven it since. Now with the garage door opening and closing, snow has blown all over the back half of the car. (pull head into the garage). I have no problem leaning it up with a quick detailer...

So its been a rough winter so far here on Long Island. I haven't been able to wash my 135i for over a month now. We've had 3 good snow-storms, but I didn't drive in any of them. Driving a few days after the storms gave me a tiny amount of salt accumulation. The car was dusty, more than anything...

I recently got a flex for the holidays, and will be doing a full exterior detail at the end of the winter. I winterized my 09 135i by hand a few months ago. I will never do that again! My main problem is my garage. It has accumulated 27 years of misc junk and lots of dust. During my last...
