Here's how I'm thinking about doing an exterior detail on my car tomorrow: Wash car Clay bar Meguiar's Deep Crystal 1: Paint Cleaner Meguiar's Deep Crystal 2: Polish (it says this is formulated for dark colored cars, do I need this on a silver car?) Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax Tire shine...

I've always had trouble with this: after I wax my car by hand, there are noticable variations in the reflection off the paint due to the circular motion in which the wax is applied and all. How do I minimize this effect? I know I'm not using too much wax so that's not the problem. Also why do...

I have a 2001 Infiniti I30, and I just got a grill from an I35 from a junkyard (it looks better and is a easy install). But the I35 grill has scratches and small pits from normal wear and tear. Is there a product that can make this look better? It's made out of painted plastic.

Some people at my school apparently thought it amusing to scratch the image of a certain human organ (I think you can guess which one) onto my trunk lid. At first I thought it was just in the dirt that was on the car but after a wash and wax there it was. It's very noticeable. I even used...

I was driving on the highway last night and got stuck behind a sanding truck that was throwing sand everywhere. This morning I looked at the car and found a few white chips on the hood and one on the roof. My car is black. The scratches don't go that deep from what I can tell. What would be the...

I had my front bumper cover replaced about a year ago due to a minor incident. Now I find that the paint is disintegrating like hell! Whoever painted this bumper did a really crappy job. I don't know about you, but I don't think barely year old paint should look like this: What should I...

This is probably a really dumb question, but I'm new to using Zaino and from what I understand it's a polish, not a wax. To protect my car should I put a coat of Meguiar's or Zymol or some other wax over top as a protectant or will Zaino protect as well as shine the finish?

I've been thinking seriously about having my car professionally detailed come spring, so if anyone can reccomend me a good place to have it done in the Boston area I'd appreciate it.

I recieved a clay bar with my Zaino detailing kit, and am eager to use it after hearing how much good they can do (and as far as I know my car has never been clayed). However, I recently read a horror story about clearcoat being stripped by a clay bar. Is this possible even if you use the proper...

Are dealer detail jobs normally any good or are they just a $150 wax job that you can do yourself?

Today a small dog came running up to my car and put its paws on the doors, leaving a visible streak in the disgusting salt crud on my black car. I'm concerned about potential scratches as a result. Is there any easy way to identify whether the paint has been scratched? I don't see anything on...

I wiped down my seats today with Meguiar's leather wipes. The leather looks great except the driver's seat cushion...it looks like it didn't do anything to it. What could cause this? It's been really humid up here today...could that do it?

My car was vandalized a few months back and as a result the roof had to be repainted. The guys at the body shop told me to not wax the car for 90 days (got it back in late May). Is there a product I could use to make my car bright and shiny that won't affect the new finish?

I have a black car and have been told that this stuff is great for black cars. I searched this forum but didn't find much...has anyone used it that can give me some feedback on whether or not it's a good product? Or should I just go with Zaino?
