We just had a horrible rain storm here in NJ and while we were out eating dinner, the wind blew a shopping cart across the parking lot and left a good size ding about 1.5" long and decently deep. The paint isn't chipped so I'm hoping that the ding can be removed by a PDR guy. I know that there...

I've been pretty happy using rain-x over the years, but I started looking into aquapel recently. I've done a little research in the archives, but couldn't find anyone touching on the actual application and shelf life of Aquapel. I've found a local source that wants to clear out his inventory...

I just picked up a new (to me) 1999 Honda VFR and while it's in pretty good shape, it does have tons of swirls and small scratches from the previous owner. That an about 1/2 a can of simonize wax residue in all the nooks and crannies (and on a motorcycle there a lots of those). When I went to...

My friend has been bugging me for the last year or so to detail his Mercedes C230. I didn't have much to do this weekend and I knew the weather forcast was supposed to be great, so I reluctantly agreed. I hadn't been in his car since it was nearly new and I know he doesn't keep up with...

Well, this weekend I finally tried the Klasse Twins (thanks to DavidB getting them shipped to me in 2 days!!!). I've got to say that AIO is all it's hyped up to be, easy to use and left a sqeaky clean finish for the SG. With all the posts of how difficult SG is to remove, I was really prepared...

This is quote from a VW Passat site that I frequent...too funny!! Some people must not think.......... ----------------------- Use paste wax if you really love your car... Up to now I've been using some random brand of liquid wax. My dad said he got it on sale a while ago. It worked...

A few months ago I did a full detail on my father's Volvo S70. I used DACP to get all the swirls out, but could do nothing for the literally hundreds of little paint chips all over the front end and hood. The problem is the polish/wax residue in paint chips made the otherwise flawless paint...

Sorry, meant to post this in the Detailing section. A few months ago I did a full detail on my father's Volvo S70. I used DACP to get all the swirls out, but could do nothing for the literally hundreds of little paint chips all over the front end and hood. The problem is the polish/wax...

OK, detailed my car a few weeks ago when the weather here in NJ had just gotten nice. I forgot to take my S100 out of the car and the temp plunged into the 30's overnight. I went to wax again this past weekend and I noticed something wierd in the S100. There is a distinct "ring" in the wax...

My folks were away visiting relatives so I thought it would be a nice surprise to drive on over and detail one of their cars. Turns out it was my dad's daily driver a 1998 Volvo S70 that was left behind. From a distance, the paint looks in decent condition but on close inspection, there are...

Well, I guess being a little more educted by autopia is both a blessing and a curse. Seems like now all my family/friends want me to detail their cars. My mom is first on the list (for obvious reasons), but her car easilly ranks the last in terms of condition. It's a 1996 Volvo 760 wagon in...
