I've been wondering about this lately. 99% of the time my car is the nicest one in any parking lot. It's as clean as can be, virtually no swirls, smooth clayed paint, glaze, upp, nb doing their thing, AW finishing it off, wheels, trim and windows waxed. prime stuff. And occasionally I see other...

Last weekend I did a Danase Speed Glaze -> UPP -> NB combo. This was the first time I used a glaze and I must say the difference was more than I expected. My car was already looking amazing but the glaze added a lot of shine, wetness, depth and reflection and the reflections were sharper than...

Last weekend I did a Danase Speed Glaze -> UPP -> NB combo. This was the first time I used a glaze and I must say the difference was more than I expected. My car was already looking amazing but the glaze added a lot of shine, depth and reflection. I picked the danase glaze because it's...

I did some searching but couldn't find an answer so... I would like to try danase's speed glaze. Can this be applied by hand? Thanks.

I had RAG detail my car last week and of course he did a great job. Here are some pictures of his work. Apologies for the low res pics. I wash my car once a week and wax my car about every 3 weeks. I don't have a pc yet but I will buy one this fall when I move. Until then, how often should I...

I was rear-ended at a stop light about 6 weeks ago so I shopped around for a week looking for the best place to fix my BMW. I found a place called Amato's and they are supposed to be the highest end place here in San Diego. When I went there I saw Lamborghini's, Ferraris, Maserati's etc. They...

My BMW has a scratch on the door of the little comparment below the dash shown in the attached pic. Is it possible to fix or hide this defect? Thanks in advance.

I've got about 20 small chips on the front on hood of my car. I've been reading the threads on chip repair and I have a question... Why is the first step to sand the chip down to the level of paint? If you sand the chip down level then where will the touch up paint go to 'fill' the chip...

My orders arrived this morning so I finally got a chance to try these out. Here's my mini review: Foam Gun: This was a blast to use (literally). I was nervous that it wouldn't work or the suds wouldn't cling enough or it would be difficult etc. I live in a condo and we have this area that is...

I've read through lot of threads on foam gun technique but I didn't see anyone mentioning this. Are you guys doing a regular water rinse of the vehicle before you "pre-soak" the car with the foam gun? In most of the posts that I've read people are saying things like "First, I pre-soak the car...

Since I've recently become obsessed with detailing my car there are lots of products and techniques that I want to try to bring my car to it's best. However, a couple of weeks ago a neighbor of mine who I don't know but see occasionally said to me in a kind of condescending tone "don't you have...

I apologize if this question is a little stupid but when you guys clean tires are you putting the cleaner (apc, foam, degreaser or whatever) on the entire tire including the treads? I have been only doing it on the area where the tire shine goes because I wasn't sure. I mean, they're just...

My car was rear-ended today. I've already ranted on another forum about the @$$ that hit me while i was at a red light so I'll save that for now. There was damage to the rear bumper and it needs to be repaired and painted and the moldings replaced. Can someone recommend a really good auto...

I posted this question on another board but I wasn't getting any response so I thought I'd try it here. I have ColorX topped with NXT on my car now. I plan on trying a wolfgang sealant / natty's blue combo next. My question is, do I have to remove what I have on the car currently with paint...

I'm a newbie to detailing and so far I've been using Mother's products. I've been going over this board every day for months now and I rarely see people talking about Mother's. Why is that? Is there something that Mother's is lacking compared to Zaino, Meg's and all the other heavy hitters? Is...

Hi, I'm a noob and I've only detailed my own car once which was a week ago. Came out great though. I've got a couple of rock chips and some very slight swirling that I want to try to remove this weekend. I don't have a polishing machine and I'm not able to use one because I don't have a garage...
