I hava a huge job this tuesday and no klasse AIO. I really need the product tomorrow at the latest and am looking for a fellow Detail City to sell me a bottle. I am desperate since UPS killed my package from Top Of the line and caused the contents of the bottle to leak out on the truck. Bstards...

This week I had some time and found a fender at the local VW Body Shop. It is a good panel to learn how to maneuver around the corners. My reason for doing this was not how to better handle the buffer but, how to sand/detail the orange peeal out of the finish. The panel was in decent conditions...

This week was sort of bus. I got to do a early 90's White Oldsmobile conviertible, a GreenFord Mustang, a 98' Silber Dodge Durango, and a midnight blue metallic Acura 3.2 TL. The last 2 I don't have any pictures. But, the owners want me to wash those vehicles weekly so I will have some pictures...

This red Celica was pulled in my garage Friday morning and left on Saturday Morning. A complete detail was done interior, exterior and engine. The paint had "moderate" swirling and some deep scrathes. I decided not to remove the scrathes since the car was going to be sold this summer. Instead I...

Friday I detailed a red Celica convertible and finished it up Saturday Morning. It was cleaned inside, engine and outside. The interior was extracted and dressed. The single stage exterior wasn't that bad only minor swirls but, the hood was a repaint and had clear on it. The paint had deep...

Now I don't own a classic but, my weekend detail was a 66 Olds Cutlass Convertible with a high compression 400 Engine. All original paint and parts except for the down pipe and a few parts nuts, and bolts. It was not easy to make the engine clean but, we managed to remove all grease to...

I recently did a car with a smokeer who owned it. The car was sold to a friend of the family who is a new driver and does not smoke. I cleaned the interior as normal and told the kid right away that the smoke smell should be better but will not go away completely, this time. My intentions...

Where can I get a really professional Detail vinyl rubber and plastics trim spray for a good price. Anything except stoners! That is a waste of time because the stream of spray causes too much product to be applied at once. I need a spray that will only apply in the right amount. More like a...

I have been looking around for an extractor with heat. Some say heat is not necessary and cold would work better. I WOULD like something with heat option. After looking around for the past 6 months there is nothing I could find at the price I can afford. Does anyone know where I could get an...

It's cold here and my 2 car tandem garage needs some heat. Where can I go to shop for some good all around heating solutions.

After detailing a hood of a car that was from a Nissan Extera SUV, I noticed that the finish squeaked as I rubbed my hand over it. This was even after I had compounded, polished, glazed and waxed it! I have done this "squeak test" many times to cars that my mentor details and never have they...

This morning I washed my own car and found it needed a deep cleaning. It hadn't been washed it in 3 weeks or polished in 6 months. First it was clayed then pulled into the garaged where I began the process. Next, I polished with 3m, glazed with Vanilla Moose by hand, and finished with some...

This morning I had a try at sanding. I dont yet know the make of the car only it is an older car that was repainted with clear about 10 years ago. After which it sat in the sun and rain and snow every day since. This picture shows the condition o the paint before anythign was done. The...

This black lexus ES 300 was in need of a serious detail I washed and clayed, as always, and pulled it inside to start the polishing process. I found that claying helps removing surface contaminants which can hinder the polishing and waxing process. My garage remains at 60 degree...

I need to know, from anyone who has had success with polishing, how to get depth on todays clear paint? My method of polishing is compund with a leveler, polish with 3m Perfect It III, then a high speed glaze. It seems that after the polish step it never is perfect enough for me as far as depth...

This week I hafve been driving a rent acar because my jetta is in the shop for collision work. This is my first accident and I took advantage of having a rent a car to practice polishing on. So I set out to the supply store and picked up Meguiars DACP and Swirl free polish. After I used the...

I'd like to give the rubber trim and door seals on my 2000 Jetta Glx a treatment. What are some products I could use to give these particular pieces a new glow? I am looking for an oil based product with cleaning abilities. Not a cleaner such as all purpose. Ryan
