This afternoon, as my wife was driving our near flawless 2012 GMC Terrain through a parking lot, an elderly woman backed out of a parking space in her Honda Odyssey and firmly planted the left corner of her rear bumper squarely into the sheet metal of the right side rear door. :wall The paint...

....to wish everyone a Happy Easter? I hope so. Happy Easter everyone! :wavey

I have a question for the detailers here, most of which have way more experience than me. Assuming a vehicle is equipped with styled wheels – meaning not the kind that employs a hubcap – what is the easiest wheel finish to maintain? I had a bad experience with a Subaru equipped with factory...

My 20+ year old Craftsman snow blower finally bit the dust. I'm taking delivery of a new Ariens 28" unit this Wednesday. Anyone ever wax and/or seal theirs? I wonder if treatment would help reduce snow from sticking and help it throw further. Anyone have a suggestion? Or am I suffering...

For those of you using ONR for more than just a car wash; would you lend a little advice? I've been searching for a few hours this morning (using the search engine & just cruising the site), but I'm having difficulty finding posts on how to dilute ONR to use it as a QD, APC for interiors...

The largest vehicles I've ever owned were a 1967 Chrysler New Yorker & a 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis; both of which I could maintain with my feet pretty much on the ground, or at most a step stool. We have our first SUV now. How do you folks clean the high roofs & big hoods on large vehicles...

Hi folks - Happy Holidays to all. We have just purchased a new 2012 GMC Terrain in Carbon Black Metallic; I would like to ask for some advice & recommendations on how to keep this paint looking its best. This will be my wife's daily driver; she generally drives a 16 mile round trip to the...

Ok, I've done a search & looked over the results, but I'm still a little confused :nixweiss I don't like shiny vinyl. The interiors I have to do on my own family's cars are black, gray, & tan; this question pertains to the dashboards & vinyl trim dressing & protectant. I use the Woolite...

Do any of you wash your MF towels & cloths before using, or wait until they get dirty? How about your mitts? I'm curious; not knowing anything of their manufacture, would it be wise to wash before using?

I stopped in at a local Target on the way home from work today with the intent of checking out their detailing supplies, & hopefully pick up a lamb's wool wash mitt. They didn't have a whole lot of selection, but there on the shelf - just down from the green containers of paste Turtle Wax -...

I want to buy an economical extractor for use on my personal autos, furniture, & maybe a few detailing jobs for friends & family. From reading a few posts here on Autopia, a heated extractor is the way to go & the Bissell units seem to be popular for non-everyday use. But for the most part...

I know that there have been a few posts on bike detailing here, but a search didn't seem to show any that asked this question: Is there a small RO available (with small pads) that would work well on a motorcycle? Between my wife & I, we have 3 bikes. I ride a 1996 Suzuki Intruder (teal &...

Hello folks, New member here, & my first post. It concerns the PC 7336SP I received for Christmas. I've read a lot of posts here the last few days, including the Definitive PC Accessorizing post. A lot of info available, including some on backing plates. But I haven't found much on...
