I usually use Mother's PowerMetal and then Mother's Billet Polish on bare aluminum, but I just tried Adam's Metal Polishes and they got better results, faster too. Easy to use. Thin Liquid. Spreads nicely. I used Adam's Metal Polish #1 on a PowerBall, buffed off, then used the Metal Polish...

I have way too much stuff in my car detailing cabinets. I have multiple bottles of some of this stuff, and some of it I don't use anymore. None of it is older than 2 years old, and most of it less than 1 year old. It's all still fresh, and was kept in a climate controlled garage. From...

I detailed this '59 Bug today. I'm stupid for not taking pics of the sweet interior, and a close up of the oh so wet looking paint, but the owner of the car was in a rush to get going, so I just snapped these two. I had to be careful with the black roll-back canvas top. Getting a drop of...

I found this at the Tractor Supply Co. for less than $10. It's a horse washing wand, for washing under their belly. But it works great for washing your wheel wells, undercarriage, roof top, and hard to reach places in the engine compartment. The water flow is adjustable, and it puts a out a...

Washed with NXT car wash and DP rinseless wash mixed in a foamgun. Clayed with fine Sonus clay. SwirlBuster polish and Swirlbuster pad. Polycharged UPP. The PolyCharged UPP is amazing. It's crazy slick, and the finish seems to resist swirls better than non-PolyCharged UPP. It seems to leave...

I've got some good stuff for sale. This High Definition, 2600 lumens Panasonic PTL735U Video Projector LCD has only been used for a few hours in a non-smoking home. It works like new, and looks like new, except for some scuffs on the top of the case. The fans and vents are clean and dust-free...

2005 Tacoma with a Donahoe Racing 3" suspension lift, Boze Alloys wheels, and GoodYear Wrangler Silent Armor 275/70/17's. I did all the work myself.

I figured I should have a cool truck to represent my cool detailing business. I got rid of the tonneau cover, and got a Snugtop shell so I can haul more equipment. Added a Donahoe Racing 3" suspension lift, Boze Alloys wheels, and GoodYear Wrangler Silent Armor 275/70/17's

I have a customer that wants his tires protected, but doesn't want hardly any shine. What tire dressing has the dullest finish?

Anybody got any tips for using and caring for the LGM? I also got some Little Green cleaning solution. What kind of dilutions do you use? Should I use filtered water? Does the Hot Water function help a lot? Thanks

I made this little video to help some noobs on another site that I belong to, ToyotaNation.com I just want them to see how to work the polish, and not just wipe it on. This is SwirlBuster Polish. I covered the panel a little faster than normal, for video uploading sake. Tell me what you...

Have you ever found any drugs or anything else illegal in a customers car? What do you do with it? I worked as a car audio installer for a while and I found a couple drug stashes. I found lots of marijuana roaches in the ash trays.

I'm thinking about getting a Leer fiberglass camper shell for my truck, but I hate it when the windows behind the cab get dirty. Does anybody have any tricks for cleaning the space between the cab and the shell?

With my personal cars I always use a dedicated polish or wax, but I'm a lot pickier than the general public. Do you guys ever try to use a one step product on your customers paint? If so, what kind? Can a PC and a one-step do the job?

I have settled on the perfect mix of tire dressing for a medium shine and great durability. I spray the EO foam tire applicator with a couple sprays of PoorBoys Bold n Bright then I lay a strip of Endurance Gel (non-glossy) down the length of the applicator, then apply it to the tire. The...

Today I bought this stuff at PepBoys for half price. $3.50 for a 28 ounce bottle. Long Haul degreaser/bug remover. It looks kind of redneck and gimmicky, but it seems to work pretty good on what few bugs were on the front of my truck. I haven't gotten to really test it yet because all my...

I am wanting to start a mobile detailing business soon, but I'm lacking when it comes to interior cleaning equipment. Can a PC with a brush attachment meet my needs until the business gets bigger? What PC attachments and chemicals do you guys use?

I was just wondering if anybody knows how thick an average layer of wax is? Maybe 1/1000 of an inch?

I got this water filter/softening kit. http://www.autogeek.net/deluxe-filter-system.html I like this kit, but I'm wondering about the water softener. I think I have it hooked up correctly. The water goes into the filter first and then into the softener, and then out to my hose and foam gun...
