    Excellent result...

    I`m just an amateur. Have only buffed this car once before, last year. Now doing it again. I have pictures posted on this site from a year ago. Forget where they are. I bought this car a year ago as a 2 year lease. They did nothing to the paint. It looked more like platinum in the sun`s...

    Griot`s YoYo

    I bought one of these YoYo`s on a whim. It`s a wax applicator pad. Looks like a YoYo. I have memories of my fingers all banged up when I was young, from applying wax. I even preferred using my Griot`s 6 inch DA polisher to apply it. I did on the first coat of Sealant. This is my second coat of...

    A little advice to help even the most knowledgable detailers.

    I thought you people might appreciate this. I`ll cut to the chase first. Then explain. Salt... Warm water is the only thing that works. Even salt you don`t know is there. Feels and looks clean. But isn`t. Still has salt on it. This is partly in response to reading on here about high PH for...

    A couple wax/polish questions

    I have a 2014 Corolla. You can see it in the detail brag section. I`ve gone over it with Menzerna`s, 1000, 3500, and Polish. My original plan was to put another coat of Meguiars X Treme Wax on this. Partly because I`m using Meguiars X wax Spray on for maintenance in between. I like the...

    Blonde Automotive Joke

    Two blonde`s lock themselves out of their car. One is working on breaking back in. Other asks her: How much longer is it going to take? One says: I almost got it. Just a little bit longer. Other says: Well....whatever we do. We need to hurry. It`s fixing to rain and we left the top down.

    2014 Corolla LE Makeover.... by novice

    First one doesnt really look much different than before. Reflections show sharper. Took second one of top of car. To show good sharp reflection. This car has much orange peel in the paint. Could have taken something to show that? Cant expect too much from a car in this class.

    Gritty dust....

    I get dust on my car in a gravel lot at work. It's is dust from rock. I'm doubting any of the rinseless or minimal washes would avoid scratching the paint. Because of this gritty rock dust. I have to use soap and lots of water to wash it off. Do you agree? More talk if you're interested. I do...

    2014 Corolla LE Makeover.... by novice

    I've never used a DA polisher before. Never used any compound polish either. Got a good deal on this car. Toyota Certified. This was a lease car. I don't think one bit of any kind of wax was ever applied. Plenty of car washes though. Just doing my best to keep it up. I had nothing to begin...

    Newbie....Hi....

    I'm a 56 year old male. From The Black Hills of South Dakota. I just got a good deal on a two year old Toyota Corolla LE. Part of the reason for the deal, I think is, it's Black. :o It wasn't taken care of the greatest. Isn't bad. I came here looking on how to take good care of this car's...
