When waxing, polishing etc.. a car by hand there's 2 techniques I've learned that are most common. Circular motion and straight back and forth. Both techniques have there pros and cons. When doing it in circular motion, you get better coverage on the paint surface and distribute product...

Ok in a recent post I learned there is a difference between QW'ng (Quick Waxing) and QD'ing which most of you know what QD'ing is. QW requires a clean cool surface, much like regular wax. QD requires a cool surface but does not have to be clean. This is where I get lost. When QW means a...

A guy who owns a 93 Chevy P/U comes in on Friday to have a new exhaust put on. Teal Green kinda color, chrome factory rims. Propably the most cleanest truck I've seen for someone who doesn't know much about cars, the engine is spotless and paint is just flawless and very little if any swirls...
