My Dad called me today and said that he got an oil stain on his front seat of his Nissan Titan from oil on the bottom of the bag from a fast food joint. The first thing I could think of to suggest was a leather cleaner such as Lexol. Do you guys think this will work? Do you have any suggestions...

Well...here's the situation. I had a 5 qt jug of Mobil 5000 that had about 1 qt left in it leak onto the floor of my pass side rear floorboard. I mean...it SOAKED the floor mat and some ran off of it and soaked into the carpet. I took the car to a wand wash and vacuumed what I could, but...

Well...I guess you guys are gonna tell me "If you want anything done right, do it, yourself." Yeah...yeah...yeah. I know. I wanted to get my car done by someone with some more experience with a rotary due to some bad acid rain spots and scratches I was having trouble getting out with the PC...

I detailed my friend's 2000 S2000 b/c he's in the process of trying to sell it. It was dark when I finished, so, the pics are a few days later. Process: Exterior Washed with PB's SS&S with lambskin mitt Clayed with Blue Clay Magic & Homemade Lube (NXT wash with water in spray bottle) Washed...

I live in Arkansas....granted, winter prep isn't as crucial here as in say......Conneticut or New York. However, cooler weather isn't conducive to detailing....so, I'm looking for something that will protect the paint, and look good with minimal effort (Washes when possible and Rinseless Washes...

Have you guys have any different experiences out of these products? Do you prefer one over the other(s) for rinseless washes (using buckets, mitts, etc)? I know that QEW was originally designed for RVs, and had heard from one person that maybe it wasn't the greatest product for automotive...

What do you guys do about glass fogging? My glass LOOKS clean, but many times in the evening, my windshield fogs like crazy. I've seen RainX's Anti-Fog product.....what do you guys use to keep your glass from fogging?

:lol2:....My roommate watches Unique Whips all the time. If he's channel surfing, and it comes on, he stops. I noticed in the older episodes one time they were doing something in the shop, and I noticed a Zaino bottle on their workbench. I just find it hilarious that in the newer episodes...

Looking at Danase's 6-pack deal. I'm looking at picking up 2 yellow, I already have 2 orange from a previous purchase. I'm wondering which pads you guys get the most use from. I'm not used to such a plethora of choices ;). I used my Megs burgundy and yellow A LOT. Would I get more use...

I've heard great things about XMT 360, Vanilla Moose Glaze, and Wolfgang's Glaze. Being that I really can't pick up all 3, is there a glaze that you guys think gives the best results as far as filling and adding that POP? If you were going to buy & use just one, which would you go with?

I've run into something on my most recent auto purchase (Nighthawk Black Pearl Acura Integra) with swirls and water spots on the paint. Being somewhat experienced with detailing and polishing, I felt like the swirls and light scratches could be taken care of with my trusty PC. I tried cleaning...

I'm familiar with the Meguiars pads. I currently own a couple Red, Yellow, and Beige pads. My question is: How do these compare to the Lake Country and Edge pads? I've heard good things about both (and currently have a couple LC Orange pads that have yet to be used). How do these compare in...

Is WG Paintwork Polish Enhancer Necessary if I'm using PoorBoy's SSRs? The way I understand it, the Polish Enhancer is a Cleanser (much like Klasse AIO) that preps the surface for the sealant (removing oils, mainly). PoorBoy's SSRs being water based do not leave behind any oils. I've read...

The Edge 6 inch Wave Pad vs. the Edge 6" DA pads Of you guys that have actually used both or any of you other knowledgeable guys out there....Do you LOSE anything by going with the Wave pads? I realize the reduced surface area helps with the ventilation, but does the reduced surface area...

I just did a detail of a NIZASTY Silver Civic Hatch. I've been plugging away at it for a few days. I live in an apt complex, and people constantly want to come talk when I'm detailing. Well....this leads to lost momentum, and it took me a couple days to do the detail. As far as the...

I'm not sure if this should go in this forum or in the Detailing in General Forum. My question is about the NON-Body-colored mirrors like on Hondas. I am working on a Civic DX model that has the BLACK mirrors. You guys know which I'm talking about...they're the semi-matte black mirrors that...

I have some questions about layering of sealants and waxes. I keep hearing about polishes and glazes that contain Carnuba or other oils...and layering acrylic sealants directly on top of them. For example: Layering EX-P directly over Vanilla Moose. Don't the oils in VM interfere with the...

How often is TOO often to polish your paint? I've read threads on here that have mentioned things about polishing too often.....how often is too often? I have some light swirls on my car right now.....what products that can be purchased locally would you suggest? The only polishes I have at...

I just thought I'd ask some of the more experienced members on here if they could give some pointers to someone that is looking to make some profit from an activity they enjoy. I've been kicking around the idea of detailing for profit for a little over a yr, now. I have plenty of products to...
