Got a call a week ago from a guy wanting his Z3 detailed... 7 years old, garaged, only driven in sunny weather, and 11k on the clock. He washes it himself. Exterior only on this, and it turned out to be what I thought it would...and worse. The minimal sunny driving lead me to believe that...

Wanted to place an order for something from them, and I am leary of any place I haven't dealt with before. So has anyone ordered from them before? :nixweiss

Was at Target Saturday night, saw the car wash and glass cleaner for 98 cents. Picked up a bottle of each to give a try on the beater. Look out for some deals there if you are by :)

Seeing it on the forum doesn't really give a good indication on the birghtness, etc, so I was wondering if anyone had a side by side shot with a regular light (halogen, or a mag lite, or something). I am thinking of picking one up, but if my halogens do better, I wouldn't really see the point...

After washing a couple of my cars yesterday, I had this one to do for today. I quoted him and booked him a month ago, and needless to say, it was in better shape when I saw it the first time :hsugh: I don't think it's been touched since I quoted him. This one I got on "looks alone"... he...

As the title states, about how long do you get out of your backing plates? I think mine is pretty much shot, it does not grip very well at all any more, even to brand new pads :(

I got a foam gun for Christmas (the simple green one, it's the gilmour rebranded from what I have seen). Of course, due to the winter weather, I am still waiting to try it out, but that time is coming (next month!). I do have some questions after reading threads on here and seeing pics though...

A friend picked up a 91 SHO for a fun little toy to play with. It's modded, and boy it was a fun car to drive :2thumbs: Any case, we didn't have time to do everything we wanted, and we just wanted to concentrate on livining the paint up some. It has some rust that another mutual friend is...

So someone decided on a car board to post a "cleaning method" post, and I get someone who gives me this recipe: water, dish soap, and kerosene. For a regular car wash :scared: :shocked But he seems to think this is ok for a regular car wash and won't believe me about the dangers of...

I washed two of my cars this weekend and decided to try out my new bottle of OCW. I almost feel like I used it incorrectly :o I sprayed it on the panel, and used a MF to wipe it on, and it pretty much wiped on and right off. I guess I was expecting it to smear around and then try to buff it...

I finally picked up a bottle of Collinite 845 IW at Advanced Auto a week ago. I did a search and read a thread that said they had reformulated it for VOC compliance. Someone mentioned it says "paste" on the newer bottles, and the older ones do not. I went back and found they again had 2...

While somewhat taken care of, this Mercedes still had stains, and other problems. I didn't get as many before's as I like, and especially of the mats I could kick myself for because they came out nicely. It was cloudy the entire time, so I didn't get any sun shots :( 5 minutes after leaving it...

A friend of mine picked up an 00 Taurus for a daily driver about a month ago. We decided to get together this past weekend to work on the paint. Adam had washed, clayed, and waxed it when he got it, so we skipped the clay. The Zymol wasn't holding up too well at this point either. The paint was...

My spring/fall ritual of the major detailing of my car fell behind this year. Normally it is in late March or early April, but weather, commitments, and client cars kept me until this weekend when I swore I was going to do mine. I spent 9 hours on it. Details as follows: * Quick Engine wash...

How hot is too hot to store your products? I don't have issues in the winter in the garage since it never drops below 50 in there, but I bring stuff in in the summer because I am worried about the heat affecting them. I hate moving stuff around so I bring in the polishes, etc and it can be a...

Ok, this one is a new one on me. I detailed an 03 Tahoe for a guy about 3 weeks ago. He has run it through a popular car wash chain (mike's for those that know of it) the whole time he has had it. One day when he ran it through, it scratched up the side of it, even though they claim they...

I just love getting my hands on black cars :D Guy just bought it a couple weeks ago, typical black car, swirls, paint was very dry, had some nasty OP on it on the door (probably a bad repaint I am betting). Wash, clay, DACP with a yellow LC pad, #80 with an LC orange pad, #16. Befores:
