    Calling all KC/MO detailers

    Hey all, I wanted to know how many people in or around the Kansas City area were on this forum? I was thinking of getting a few of us together for a meet and greet. I think it would be great for a few seasoned people and a few novice people to have a 1/2 day of our own "show car garage" fest...

    White plastic stuff in MF towels

    Ok, so I washed my towels today and, as usual I always go over them for loose debris. Well upon inspection I noticed on almost every one of them there were these plastic shouds embedded in them. At first it reminded me of a finger nail, but they where everywhere. Some of them were really...

    First full detail DONE!

    Well after much frustration with finding out about orange peel, GGROP on again off again working, pads ripping my first 100% detail is now in the bag! I'm entering a few pictures on the Ram Truck Forum for a shot of being in a calender they are putting together for next year. So without further...

    Take a look at this

    Ok, so since I've been back from out of town I havn't had a chance to really take any pictures of my first ever use of my new Griot's polisher. By the time I was done on Wednesday I was running around just to get packed up and on our way out the door. So tonight I rewashed the truck and there...

    My first attempt and a few questions

    Ok, so this afternoon I did a test spot on my roof of my truck (more on that later) so I only used 3 pads, Cyan, Tang, and "red". Cleaning just those 3 was a pain IMO. I doused them with APC and then threw them in soapy water while I was using the other pads. I tried to get as much crud out of...

    How would I smooth this out?

    Hey everyone, well I'm only days away from receiving my GG polisher with ALL the trimmings! Super excited to see what I can do with it. I bought my truck last year, it's an 06 Ram 4x4 and came with some "experience" marks on it. Late last year I primied and "pened" the scratch's the best I...

    Review -- Meguiar's #21 Synthetic Sealant

    I just ordered some of this stuff. I'm glad to hear such a good review of it! I'll be very excited to try it out on my truck. #21 is suppose to do wonders on darker colored vehicles too, so since I have the Atlantic Pearl Blue coat I'm really interested to see what it will do!

    Little detailing bag

    Picked up one of these during the Memorial Day weekend at Lowes except mine had a bonus bag inside of it about 3/4 the size of the main bag. They had it for $20 ($10 off) and it works great to keep detail products in. Since I don't have a garage I keep all my supplies inside in my "office" so...

    Here I go!

    Hello everyone, here’s another one of those “my first big order” thread. Now I have only ordered from autogeek one time, for a small order of a foam gun and a few accessories. Now that was over a year ago and have decided to get "serious" about making my truck shine like I've never seen it...

    32oz Meguiars Quick Detail

    I was at Walmart the other day and noticed Megs 32oz bottle of quick detail was only $5.00, right next to the Gold Class shampoo for the same price. Considering the 16oz bottle was $4.78 I decided to pick up 3 bottles of this and 2 bottles of the shampoo. I had a gift card for $25 so this just...

    How to break up the whole process?

    Ok, so I'm going to be ordering my gear in the next week or so but wanted to get a few tips first. I have a large '06 Dodge Ram 4x4 with LOTS of paint to polish. I was thinking of breaking the whole process up into a 2 day thing. Day 1) Wheels, tires, wheelwells, engine, wash, clay, dry...

    Newbie with a question

    I have decided to get "serious" about making my truck shine like I've never seen it before. She's an '06 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 with a young 50k on her! Since I've had her for just over a year the paint has never really "popped" at me. I've spent countless hours, by hand, trying to polish this...

    Suggestions/comments (3rd try)

    Ok, my previous 2 attempts at posting this has gone into limbo. Trust me I've waited for MODS to approve my post but to no avail, the messages have probably been lost. So I'm retyping this again without the pictures directly in the body. Instead, I'm sorry to say, that there are only links to...

    First order of detailing supplies

    Ok, so I'm not a professional, I'm not even an intermediate detailer, I'm a hobbiest who has decided to pick-up this and give it a shot! I bought an '06 Dodge Ram SLT 4x4 last year in April. Ever since I've never fully been happy with the shine. When I do go through the paces it really looks...
