I know I'm a rookie but I need some "professional" advice and not a bunch of newbies like me chiming in on this one. I have three young girls and an 03 black Suburban. Let me tell you now that the two don't mix. After I got home last night, my wife strategically hands my our baby and sits...

I applied AIO to my 03 Passat (blue anthracite) with a PC per the instructions and noticed a slight color change when I compared the half of the hood with AIO to the half without. It had a slightly smokey yellowish color which seemed to diminish some of the brilliance of the paint color. Has...

I posted a thread yesterday about my wife accidentally getting paint on the sidewalls of tires from a freshly painted curb she hit. I took the advice of another poster to respond calmly and tell her it wasn't such a big deal. When I got home, I told her it was OK and that I could get it off...

I just received a call from my wife who said she ran down a freshly painted curb with the sidewall. How do I get the stuff off? BTW, her "just" is 3 hours ago but she said it's still somewhat "wet". :scared :shocked :argue

Just bought a gallon with the intention of using it as clay lubrication. Is it OK to use as a QD for AIO and S100?

I just applied AIO with a PC to my black suburban. It looks GREAT! BTW, thanks Jngrbrdman for the helpful suggestion of using it sparingly. Made a BIG difference on how it worked and how easily it removed. My questions is whether I need to apply a wax or SG on top or whether AIO is enough...

I've been looking for a simple solution to cleaning the crevices between windows and body and molding. I discovered the brush listed above on ********.com. I'm assuming it's similar to Griot's horsehair brush. My questions is . . . Do they scratch your paint? I find it hard to believe that...

I have a 2003 Passat that has black parts on the doors between the door and the roof that separate the front and rear windows. Sorry for my ignorance but I don't know what they're called. Anyway, they are shiny like paint but are not the same as my paint (blue anthracite). How should I care...

Anybody in Omaha, NE or somewhere close?

Been reading a lot and I'm trying to decide between AIO, SG, S100 vs. AIO, S100 on new black paint. Input is appreciated.

Previously, I've used the Dawn wash, Einszett Polish, Clay Magic, and Einszett Glanz Wax routine. I just purchased a black suburban and want to make it look its best. The paint is incredibly good right from the factory. I've considered the Klasse AIO/S100 route but I'm not sure where AIO...

I just purchased a 2003 Z71 Suburban for my wife. Black on black with grey leather interior. The dealership did not put anything on it before delivery. My intentions are to wash it w/Meguiar's Gold Class and S-100 with a Lexol treatment to the leather and Meguiar's #40 to the remainder of the...

I have a 2003 Passat with cloth (velour) interior. I'm having problems getting the lint and dust out of the tight area between the rear window and the deck. I have a Rainbow vacuum and have tried the attachments (short/wide and long/slender) and can't quite reach or can't get the necessary...

I need some help regarding leather care. I'm detailing the boss' 96 black/black Corvette soon and need help with what to use on the leather seats. Once before I saw a thread on treating leather and how to treat dyed vs. painted leather but can't find it and don't have a lot of time to search...

I'm about to do an exterior job on my boss' 96 Corvette. It's black and has never been done. Some minor dings and a good portion of swirl marks/scratches from road racing. I want to make this thing look GREAT. Mainly because he let's me drive it and I want to look good but also to impress...

I have a completely stock 2003 Passat GLS. I don't know what "material" my wheels are and, therefore, don't know how to care for them. How do I tell the difference between wheels? Does anybody else have a 2003 stock Passat GLS?

On a cold Saturday night in Nebraska I finished a nice wash, polish, and wax job on the Passat (almost fell on my butt from the ice that formed on the driveway during the wash phase). The next day, I pulled it out to be in the sunshine and absorb some rays so I could admire my 7 hours of hard...

I just did the first exterior polish/wax job on my Tahoe and can't believe how long it took. The result are incredible but it took me over 6 hours to wash, polish, and wax. From what I've read here, it doesn't take most of you that long (or you wouldn't be in business). I have the wash and...

My boss is going to let me practice using my PC on his black 96 Corvette. It has been in an accident and, as a result, has two different paint jobs (factory and bodyshop). From what I've read in my searches, I should treat them both the same for a general clay, polish and wax job (Einszett...

Question for the experienced detailers - I just washed and clayed my car in preparation for a polish and wax job this weekend. I inspected the paint from hood to trunk and top to bottom. The car is new so there was NOTHING on the paint. Yesterday, I found a present from some inconsiderate...
