Hey everyone! It looks like I am starting fresh again. I was a long time member on the original forum and recall there was a change of hands or something like that. I'm back again and look forward to learning what has evolved in the detailing world. I haven't paid much attention to any of this...

Ok maybe this question is silly and some may think it's a no brainer but I am uncertain. Which product should be more aggressive at removing defects such as stubborn/deep swirl marks: - Optimum Hyper Compound - Menzerna SIP It confuses me some because SIP is considered a "polish" but is...

These are some items that I am looking to get rid of. Please make me an offer that I can't refuse ;). PB QD+ (bottle filled to line) PB PwC (bottle filled to line) PB EX-P (bottle filled to line) - Sold to VA_Shine PB Wheel Sealant (about 1/2 remaining) Klasse SG (99% full) Sonus...

Browsing my local Lowe's store I found the Gilmour 2 piece brass quick connect set for $5.88. It looks like they also offer them on their website as well - Item #: 228724 Model: 09QCGF Now I don't recall seeing these at Lowe's before but I know I've bought these online elsewhere and...

I made this simple DIY because I know that a true Autopian can appreciate the desire to keep everything looking fresh and clean. In other words I wanted to share this with people who are called crazy all the time because of their OCD habits just like me. :grinno: So I wanted to find a way to...

This Explorer belongs to my neighbor. I've used numerous dressings on the bumper but nothing lasts very long. And if it gets wet forget it... even the morning dew that drips down the bumper causes streaking. What can I do to improve the appearance? Will any dressings work for this? Thanks...

UPDATE: 3/3/08 - Cyclo is sold. After a great deal of self conflict I've decided to sell my Cyclo polisher. The Cyclo is basically brand new. I only used the unit on one quarter panel of my G35 (new toy excitement :laugh: ) and then a door on a Lexus RX330. I was much more comfortable using...

I know many of us have pets that we love dearly. If you have not heard yet Menu Foods the manufacturer of numerous popular brands of pet food, including Iams, Nutro and Eukanuba (as well as many store or "house" brands) have recalled items due to the potential of it causing renal failure and...

I bought a Cyclo polisher and when I received it there was a noise in the handle. The noise sounded like a piece of plastic was rolling around in the handle part as you could hear it move end to end when the Cyclo was tilted back and forth. This was with the polisher off but it didn't seem to...

Alright... fess up. Who did it? :wall My local Big Lots had at least 25 of the brushes a couple of weeks ago so I bought two of them. When I heard they were definitely going to be discontinued I went back last weekend to get a couple more and they were GONE! :shocked I couldn’t...

I decorated my house last weekend for Christmas. While doing so I thought it would be a great idea to start a thread for everyone to show off their Christmas display. Here is mine. No, it’s not a large light show but it accentuates my simplistic style. So come on Autopia...

Most of the details I perform are using an AIO product. I've tried Klasse AIO numerous times but always find myself going back to Meg's ColorX. ColorX always seems to give the paint a little extra pop and is better at removing very minor defects. I'm sure Klasse has its place and it is possible...

There is a detailing shop that I pass everyday to and from work. Their building looks just a step above a portable building. It is enclosed by the clear plastic panels which are opened most of the time. The facility looks decent but the parking lot and entrance is gravel. I can't see paying...

this is entertaining. http://snakesonaplane.varitalk.com/ While the movie looks weak this form of advertising is pretty good. I know we had a few people laughing :chuckle:

Going to attempt to remove eyeliner from the headliner of a Scion TC. The driver my girlfriend obviously, by a LONGshot, missed her eye and hit the headliner with the brush :wall . Don't worry she recieved her lashing :D but she really feels bad about the spot because she does like to take...

I tackled my first Corvette today and it was a nice one! The car was very dirty when he brought it to me though so I gave it a little love. I was nervous at first because I have yet to purchase a heavy compound for my collection and I've read the stories regarding the 'Vettes hard clearcoat...

Here are some images from nissanews.com. I like the new look they are going with. To me it resembles the M35/45 which I've always liked. Most impressive to me is the interior... I like that the most! Enjoy!

Here are two recent details. This PT cruiser was first on the agenda and suffered from the regular neglect received when people don't have the time to wash their vehicles. After a good wash it didn't look too bad but the surface was loaded with contaminants. Washed x2 with Megs Deep...

This is my friends Tacoma that was pretty messy. It hadn't been cleaned up in a long time and he has been back and forth between flood ravaged areas where his house was under about 12ft of water. This is what I did. Washed exterior Clayed Applied ColorX by PC Applied NXT wax by hand...

A good friend of mine has a black Z and his paint condition is similiar to what member dank311 shows in this thread There is definitley some spider webbing, halo scracthes, and holograms. Here is my plan: Wash Clay Sonus SFX2 with PC more than likely using the yellow SFX1 restore pad...
