  <p style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue';color:rgb(35,35,35);">Spring is here, well sort of and my M3 mods are done (for now). Only had time for a wash, Iron X, clay and a one-step with Poli-Seal followed by Opti-Seal to spruce her up prior to installation. Wheels received Opti-Coat 2.0 over...

On the verge of madness from lack of detailing this winter my new HRE’s were delivered and sitting in the garage Friday waiting for me to come home. Unboxed and carried to basement where I set up equipment and products to prepare the wheels for installation on my TT RS in about 4 – 6 weeks. I...

Took delivery this week, mid 40's here in NE so just basic wash (Garry Dean Method), clay and wax on exterior. Went old school using Clearkote Carnauba Moose Wax, worked well even in cold temperature. Interior cleaned and protected. Detailed and ready for a few beauty shots. Tried to capture...

Exhaust, wheels, suspension, led interior lights and other minor items done. Polished with HD Speed and Meguiar's cutting disc. Ran out off time so 2 quick coats of Opti-Seal to finish. Will try Poxy next time. Had used Optimum GPS first time when car was new (1 month 600 miles ago) and IMHO...

Opti-Coat was my choice and that of most respondents for sealing new wheels. UPS dropped off new HRE's with Michelin Super Sport mounted yesterday. Got to it first thing this AM. Pretty clean but with the expected black rubber marks and sealant residue from mounting, no scratches, small...

Have set of HRE wheels inbound and want to seal them before they go on car (way easier). Thinking of using Opti-Coat but would like input. Thanks.

Own a Meguiar's G110v2 and an PC 7424 (old version), DA user since 2004 or so. Tried a Flex PE 14-2 150 Rotary Polisher for half hour or so on test panel and really enjoyed it, no vibration, quiet and smooth. Only a hobbyist detailer, will my results be any better? Did not seems that difficult...

Will be taking delivery of new LR4 this week. Will wash, clay, polish if needed and protect. Very comfortable with all that. May have dealer leave on exterior plastic film. Have never removed this and will be working outside at about 50-55 degrees. Any tips or tricks? What product would you use...

Back in August purchased 2004 Disco II with 35k miles on the clock. Had independent Rover shop do 30,000 mile major service and replace few items like Drive Shaft Rubber Coupling, ABS Modulator Valve, Rear Brake Pads, Rotors and then began working on the exterior appearance. Faded plastic...

Over weekend bought the wife a Lexus GX 460, she of course picks black, why not, she only drives it, knows I will keep it looking good. At delivery it is as expected, swirl city, she picked the one on the showroom floor, had Michelins vs Bridgestone, like that choice but that means dealer has...

Stumbled on ClearKote an old favorite of some online, I personally had never heard of it so I decided to try it. Bought Red Moose Machine Glaze, Carnauba Moose Wax, Quik Shine Detail Spray and applied in that order after washing, claying and polishing. The glaze and the wax are liquid, both go...

Seems every time I Google an answer about detailing Autopia comes up. So after "stealing" tons of info as a non-member I humbly join and hope to continue learning and perhaps contribute an idea or two along the way. Love washing / detailing my car almost as much as driving it, I know I am sick...
