My friend came to me for help about clover mite stains as i'm the detailer guy. Unfortunately I haven't dealt with them either... so does anyone here have experience with this? Already did a quick google and somebody recommended Genesis 950, but it wasn't a detailing website. Maybe you guys...

I'll admit I haven't been paying attention for a few years now, because I've been getting good use out of my old pepboys $10 sheepskin mitts, but now they're so deteriorated it's time for new ones. Problem is I can't find new ones now! Everything is $20+ and all the autoparts stores carry the...

This was not a clients car but I personally would not be satisfied with the way it turned out if I had done it for someone. I spend more time on paint than interior, so I'm looking to learn more to offer the service for people that tend to care more about interiors than swirls. Basically I...

So I managed to drop a f**king steel toolbox on my hood, that got me to this problem to begin with. I should also mention that this hood is not OEM paint and was repainted by a local shop. So I began the process I've learned and used many times in the past of touch up paint > wetsanding >...

I've been having a real rough go lately at finding a job, i'm a recent college grad with my BBA and came across this company that was hiring territory managers. I figured with my experience in auto detailing/automotive it would make me a shoe in over the other candidates.. but I'm curious if...

read a recommendation here for trying 845, worked out pretty good. I actually prefer the look of when it is wet (first pic). Second pic is buffed off. Should I be buffing it off or can I just let it stay wet on there til it dries? Half & Half shot

whats a good do it yourself fix for this? the car is old enough that I'm not going to have the whole engine bay repainted not worth the trouble. If I paint it it's probably not going to match either and thats probably fine.

I was going through some pictures and I had realized just how badly my hood cowl trim was..(under the shiny blue tools) it has a very greyish look compared to the deep black paint and it kind of sticks out pretty badly now that I think about it. I've been reading poorboy's was a good one for...

is there anything out there worth getting? or should i stick to the expensive online only stuff. heres an example of what i get to pick from. my main uses are basically going to be using during the drying stage after washing, or for the rare bird bomb clean up or whatnot. This will be for...

I can't decide between these two.. i'm figuring I well spend around $50 after shipping which is kinda lame for 2 WW's and 2-3 wash mitts. MICROPAK 16" x 27" Waffle Weave Micro Fiber Towel MICROPAK 16" x 27" Ultra-Soft Waffle Weave Micro Fiber Towel between these two i'm not sure. which is...

Their "wacky one day sale" has me in all kinds of a rush :nervous2: i'm sure thats the goal but i don't check their site often enough to know if they are really bluffing about the 1 day thing. with that said I am looking for some high end waffle weave drying towels or something equivalent...

Does anyone make products so that you can turn your porter cable into a sander? Is the PC powerful enough for something like this? Who makes some good products and what would you recommend? Anything I can find in a store or will it have to be ordered online? I'm taking my motor apart and I'd...

what do you guys think? Just finishing up polishing stages, and I couldn't remember what order to apply these three. Also do you think only two are necessary? which ones?

after a few days, ultimate process was: meguiars clay poorboys ssr 2.5 w/ green propel in trouble areas ssr 1 w/ green pad at 4spd ssr 1 w/ blue pad at 4spd sealed with poorboys EX, topped off with collinite 845. too bad nobody makes these propel pads anymore, and CCS seems to be the...

i did my hood today with a green propel and poorboys ssr 2.5, and noticed towards the end of polishing i was getting oil smears on the surface. was i polishing too long? then i noticed when removing the polish, it smeared around on the panels whereever i wiped it up. and i've never had this...

i just noticed this today while reclaying the car.. im trying to do something about it fast to prevent more paint cracking or water/moisture/rust exposure. when it got dented upwards, the paint stressed and cracked and now resembles something like teeth. im not sure how to go about it ...

post your best half and half done/undone pictures. any surface! whether its paint or seat leather, lets see em!

i need to take the front black plastic cover off to i can fit the pc better into a tight spot i am trying to use it. how can you take this off without breaking it?

i've been shopping for some 4'' ccs pads, and ive noticed that only properautocare.com had pictures with the blue backing other vendors such as pinnaclewax.com and autogeek.com, don't show these backings on their pictures. but are these the exact same pads? upon a few searches, i've...

I need a clearcoat safe polish for my polished wheels (lips), and was wondering what everyone recommends. with priority going to degree of swirl removal. i was looking at the powerball mini but if i can do it with something by hand that will be just as convenient. thanks!
