I use the PB S&W for my cars, because I ran out ( it's on order) SO I decided to mix up a batch of ORN with water and use it in a spray bottle...So far it's worked very well. Any thoughts on this? Thanks

Over the weekend I was consolidating a few jars of PB Nattys red wax into one...It's a soft wax and when the heat from your hand is on it, it's even softer..So I decided to apply a coat to the hood of my car bare handed.It went on pretty thick ( I know that's not what you want) but it certainly...

Couple of years back I was surfing Craigslist in the free section, something that I do everyday. I saw this camper shell that would fit my bang around town Ford Ranger. It had been sitting on bricks in this guys backyard for over a decade..It was pretty rough but I could see it was going to be...

Over the holidays we picked up a 2013 Ford Focus for our son. He was driving our old DD car, a 1996 Toyota Camry..This car has been in the family since it was purchased by my in laws. We inherited it about eight years ago after my FIL passed away. (RIP Rene) The car has been taken care of...

I work with a local indy Harley bike shop. I do maybe two dozen bikes a year with him..What I love about doing these bikes is the scissor lift and the ability to lift each of the wheels, you can really dial the detail in.

The new cloth seats in most cars today seem to present a challenge to clean. What I have found is they stain very easy even with water only stains. I have had reasonable success with Blue Coral spray cleaner. That said I do not have an extractor so that's not a option for me. I'm just...

Asking for help if you do. I would like to get a report on a car we are looking at. Thanks David

Local guy to where I live was featured in our home town newspaper. What I found interesting is the network of detailers that where hand selected for the detail work. Where does this list exist? And why am I not on it? I've been recognized by two larger motorcycle clubs as one of the best bike...

I did this Harley on Saturday..it wasn't all that bad just time consuming about 6 hours start to finish. Question the front spoke rim was covered with this bakes on crud...turns out that it's a stainless steel spoke and they gather over time some organic buildup..hard to describe it but the...

As a car buff and someone that loves a well cleaned car. I look at cars online and on the road / parking lots all the time. What I find interesting is the amount of what seems like newer cars that have fairly large amounts of clear coat failure. My neighbor has a 09 Toyota that has several...

Yesterday while looking and posting on Facebook, I saw this click add for $200 off auto detailing. I clicked on the link and it was going to email me a code and then allow me to book the appointment. I decided not to do that for obvious reasons. That said I looked up this detailer online, and...

Had this detail on Saturday..It's a local indy shop that I do work for..I havew to admit that I do not like working on the chain drive bikes always a mess.

I post on a BMW site in the detail section..I try and answer the questions with the best advice I can. That said some people think my suggestions or advice are over the top crazy. Example someone is asking about baked on brake dust removal..oven cleaner was suggested...I say NO and make a...

This was a recent detail from the local Harley shop I work with. This Ultra Classic has set under a tree covered by a trap only since 2006. I started with a quick wash using PB soap then used FK1 Decam on it to clean everything off that I could. The rest of the grease areas where shot with...

The garage door had it's way with the bumper on our new KIA...totally my fault I should have been watching closer and as a result I've kicked myself around about it. That said I really feel like this is going to be a repaint but wanted to see what others think? I've thought about wet sanding...

I read about this on the net and decided to give it a try...being the anal detailer I'm always looking for a way to clean something better. Take the grates and put them into plastic baggies and use about 1/2 cup or little more ammonia, seal bag and let over night. You do not need to submerge...

Last week I took our family dinner table into the garage and had my way with it or should I say it had it's way with me. After watching several videos on the subject, I went to work. Here are some before during and after pics. Once I understood how to get the finish smooth with wet sanding and...

Got a call from the local indy Harley repair shop to work on this show bike..Every painted part on this bike is air brushed with a mural. Lots of chrome and polished aluminum...this was from the last time I did the bike..should take about five to six hours

Did this one on Saturday for a local indy bike shop...this one was going up for sale and needed some much deserved love. I enjoy working on bikes, lots of satisfaction in the results and turnaround in some cases, plus I get to work at their shops and use the lifts, which is a HUGE advantage...

First off thanks to Todd and Autopia for super fast service and shipping...many online companies could take a lesson from you. I just got mine and of course it's raining here now..LOL However my first impression out of the plastic bag, it feels like a sturdy paper towel you might see in a...
