    Excellent result...

    I`m just an amateur. Have only buffed this car once before, last year. Now doing it again. I have pictures posted on this site from a year ago. Forget where they are. I bought this car a year ago as a 2 year lease. They did nothing to the paint. It looked more like platinum in the sun`s...

    Griot`s YoYo

    I bought one of these YoYo`s on a whim. It`s a wax applicator pad. Looks like a YoYo. I have memories of my fingers all banged up when I was young, from applying wax. I even preferred using my Griot`s 6 inch DA polisher to apply it. I did on the first coat of Sealant. This is my second coat of...

    A little advice to help even the most knowledgable detailers.

    I thought you people might appreciate this. I`ll cut to the chase first. Then explain. Salt... Warm water is the only thing that works. Even salt you don`t know is there. Feels and looks clean. But isn`t. Still has salt on it. This is partly in response to reading on here about high PH for...

    Gritty dust....

    I get dust on my car in a gravel lot at work. It's is dust from rock. I'm doubting any of the rinseless or minimal washes would avoid scratching the paint. Because of this gritty rock dust. I have to use soap and lots of water to wash it off. Do you agree? More talk if you're interested. I do...

    2014 Corolla LE Makeover.... by novice

    I've never used a DA polisher before. Never used any compound polish either. Got a good deal on this car. Toyota Certified. This was a lease car. I don't think one bit of any kind of wax was ever applied. Plenty of car washes though. Just doing my best to keep it up. I had nothing to begin...

    Newbie....Hi....

    I'm a 56 year old male. From The Black Hills of South Dakota. I just got a good deal on a two year old Toyota Corolla LE. Part of the reason for the deal, I think is, it's Black. :o It wasn't taken care of the greatest. Isn't bad. I came here looking on how to take good care of this car's...
