I have been detailing a lot of cars lately, about 85% of them black BMW's, but other makes in there as well, but still about 85% black. Every time I wash, clay, polish, then use some sort of LSP. Its usually WG for the time being, but sometimes its S100, #16, LS, or any other product for that...

Well this title may seem a bit familiar because it is, but its a different car. Here are pics of the coupe I posted before. Well, the owner called me up and said he bought a new toy, well here is the new toy. The swirls were really bad on this car, the picture doesn't do them...

I know this is probably under wraps for a while, but I was wondering about the status of the new and old Detailer line? I've definitely read that Final Detail was being replaced by Last Touch which will be the same thing with a lighter scent and is dillutable. I've also read Engine Kote is...

Well since my first post got wiped out with the server outage, I thought I might rejuvenate it because I have some Questions. I was reading some reviews and a couple of things have me worried: 1. The window problems 2. Engine Coil problems 3. Brake light problems 4. Timing belt and mass...

About 2 or 3 years ago when I started getting into automotive detailing, I heard about this product called, Zaino Brothers Car Polish. I read about it and searched and found the Zaino website. No online ordering? Well I thought to myself, this must be a crock. Well not to long after, I found...

I was just browsing and found this: Product ID: 10549 Category: Polymer Sealants Meguiars #26 Hi-Tech Yellow Liquid Wax - 1 Gallon Description: 1 Gallon Jug A sophisticated blend of premium polymers, yellow Carnauba wax and other waxes to provide long lasting protection while enhancing...

Hey guys/gals, I used to be really anti-Zaino because of all the Z-squareds (Zaino Zealots) out there really tarnished my view of this product. However, I still have yet to find anything besides just regular carnauba- S100/Souveran that really makes me happy. Klasse lost its slickness pretty...

I have tried QEW many times, and honestly, I still just don't feel quite as comfortable as a traditional wash. With that said, when it is very cold outside and various other reasons, a final rinse with the hose just sometimes isn't feasible. In those times, this is my preferred way of doing...

I am going to buy a rotary, but am really confused about which pads I want and backing plates I need. What I am currently considering: Lake Country pads- tufted or advanced or both? The tufted pads require a 7 in backing plate. The advanced pads come in 2 different sizes- 7.5 and 8.5...

I have some Einszett Sprüh Wax laying here and have never used it. I always do this, order products and never use them, doh! Anyway, I'm not quite sure what its use is. I read David's review and such, but is it comparable to Meguiars Quik Wax? Is it a carnauba wax? Einszett's website says...

I was curious to see if anyone has been offered a detailing position for the SEMA show in November in Las Vegas?

I received an order from the Autopia store and bought all of David's remaining Sonax interior cleaner (3 bottles). I had never used this product before, but at $6 a bottle, I had to have them all. I used it for the first time today and I am very impressed. I used it on the dash, leather...

I prepped this car for a show this weekend. I thought it was a pretty cool car. I did Poorboy's Spray and Wipe, DACP, VM, Carnauba Moose.

Let me first say that I am not a Zaino user. I have often wondered if I would like Zaino, but as of right now, I'm pretty happy with my current formula. I know that a big issue with Zaino is bonding properly and the almost excessive use of the Dawn wash to remove any oils left behind from a...

Just to let you all know...I was bored tonight and was surfing Amazon. They stock the PC 7424 and Makita and DeWalt polishers. They also guarantee if you find a better price, they will beat it by 10%. Coastal Tool and Harbor Freight better might lose some business. They also have free...

One of my fears just called today. He said I got your card and have a black BMW 540, what do you do...blah blah. Anyway we get to chatting and he said- do you do dent removal? I bought the Wurth MDL two weeks ago and have not been able to get it to work. I had to tell him no and he said ok...

Ok- many people want to start detailing for money. This is totally understandable as well as lucrative for many individuals. You must think, however, that it not as easy as whipping out the PC, cashing the check and happy day. What happens if you pick up a customer's car and get in a wreck...

This was posted on a BMW forum, a person posted a picture of their older 318 with red paint. The paint IMO looked very good and another member asked if the car had been repainted and this was the person's reply: Is this beneficial to have the car clearcoated every year or even legitimate...
