for lack of a better word. On the rear of my Honda Element, today, using the time-tested heat/floss/goo-gone method, I removed the "Element" logo. It came off fine, with the expected minor scratches and stuff I'll need to polish out, BUT, it left the outline of the lettering. I'm fairly...

I went to get some stuff from behind the rear seat and discovered that a whole brand new gallon jug of Megs Gold Class shampoo had burst and run all over the place. Thanks to the plastic surfaces, cleanup was a breeze (although my car still smells like soap). :).

Okay, it was in pretty decent shape already, but need some scratch removal and minor swirl removal. After about four hours with the PC, using first some SSR 2.5 for the scratches, then SSR 1 for the swirls, I went to EX-P topped with 3 coats of Nattys Blue by hand. Over all, I'm happy...

I ordered some Cobra Super-Plush Deluxe MF towels from them last week, got them, and on one of the towels, the binding wasn't stitched properly and it was coming apart in the corner. I e-mailed them about it, and they said that although they were out of stock on those, they'd send me a Cobra...

Okay, after much effort today, I succeeded in eliminating some minor scratches on one side of my hood, however, thanks to being in a garage with flourescent lights, I discovered more scratches that I want to get rid of, but didn't have time today. I've been using Poorboys SSR 2.5 thus far...

last night. As much as I didn't think I would, I found myself enjoying the hell out of it. I mean, it's not a GREAT movie, but it is a FUN movie. I didn't finish watching it because I was just too tired, so I'll finish it tonight. I just love the way Jackson made Kong actually look...

smell so good? :) I just got some of their Trim Restorer and it makes me want a Pina Colada :)

your order. I just got a sample of their 1016 Anti-Static Wash and Wax. Neat :) I really didn't NEED a gallon of 425, but I'm sure I can use it eventually :)

I'm actually using basically the same procedure on three cars (minus the stronger swirl remover on two of them that are in a bit better shape). One is white, one dark burgundy, and one black. These are all things I'm just doing for friends who wouldn't do it for themselves (in return for free...

Not sure if this has been posted before, but Detail Plus (though I wouldn't buy much from them) has a very good price on their clay if you buy 5 or more containers. They have 2 x 4 oz bars for $19.95, but if you buy 5 packages, you get them for $9.95 each. Now that, at least to me, seems like...

Hi there. New member, first post, also new to the whole world of detailing and such. Looks to be lots of good info here. :howdy

But, to my dismay, and this one I've never heard of happening before, after about 1/2 an our or so, I let my friend take over the buffer. . . After about 5 minutes, he pulls the buffer away from the car and immediately after he does, the backing plate and pad go flying across the garage. Now...

I'm guessing Simple Green would be the easiest to get, but where can I get a decent size jug of it at a decent price? I'm thinking maybe Home Depot, but it's a bit out of my way, so I want to make sure they have it before I drive over there. Or, if you have other OTC APC recommendations, I'm...

for mixing chemicals, etc. . . . I discovered this place mainly because I work in a pharmaceutical company and we buy all kinds of lab stuff from them, but. . . www.usplastics.com is THE source for spray bottles, storage bottles, etc. For instance...

Okay, I have no idea how to do this and don't really trust myself to do it anyway. . . I washed the car today and discovered a paint chip on the door by the passenger side window. No idea what cauesd it, but it looks to go all the way to the primer or metal, can't tell for sure. Anyway, it's...

I was just browsing E-Bay for the heck of it, and ran across this listing: E-Bay Link I was just chuckling to myself, until I saw the "Learn how to turn this: into THIS: photos." Now I may be mistaken, but to turn car A into car B would require a tad more than a detail since they're...

Had a full detail done, and was very pleased, with one exception, he couldn't get a few scratches out that were on the hood. Now I can't feel these with a fingernail, so I'm guessing they're not very deep. Anyone willing to take a look and see what they can accomplish? I'm not looking...
