Here's how I detail a car, HTH First I use a WM and some #62 to wash the car. By the way, I use some A2Z that I bought at AZ to clean the rims. Then I dry with a UDT and some WW MF's. The whole car gets hit with a CB (I like CM CB's) lubed with some QD. That tree sap can be a PITA, so I...

Usually when I wash my car, I use a spoke brush to clean the wheels. I usually spray with a wheel cleaner first, then rinse, then using regular soap and a spoke brush, I scrub the rims. A while back I saw a lambswool spoke brush. I thought "Hey what a cool idea". Then I thought that brake...

Ok, so I'm left to order my own x-mas presents because my wife decided that it would be easier if I just ordered it myself rather than her try to figure out where to order the stuff that I want. I'm definitely getting the PC 7424 I'm also getting this pad kit - Complete Accessory Kit for...

When I go to buy aspirin I pick up a bottle of tylenol and a bottle of the store brand. On the back it lists the ingredients and the quantities. Both bottles have three or four ingredients in them, but I know that the only thing in there that actually helps my headache is acetaminophen...

I don't own my own detailing business. I don't even offer to do friends and family's cars for some extra cash. I'm not entering any car shows. I'm just a regular guy who likes to have a clean car. It's a good way to spend a saturday. The end result is satisfying. And I'm protecting my...

I like Stoner's Invisible Glass to clean my windows, but with winter coming I'm looking to get something that's a little more intense to get that nasty grime off of my windshield from time to time. I was looking over at the Mother's forum and they said that their Chrome Polish is great for...

I have a 2006 black Infinity G35. The paint is in great shape, but when I look closely I can see some fine scratches and swirls. They are barely there, I can only see them when I bend over and look closely, and even then I can only see a few. I can see more if I use a halogen light, but still...

Is there such a thing as a garage that I could rent to wash and detail my car? I'm looking for something heated, preferably with drainage and electricity. I see garage space for rent or self-storage units with heat and electricity but they want someone to rent for months at a time. I just...

I've been pampering my new G35 alot lately. A week and half ago, I did a full detail on it. That's a wash, dry, clay bar, Mothers 3 step (polish, sealer/glaze, then wax). Then yesterday I washed it and then added a coat of Megs NXT. The results were AMAZING. I'll let the pics speak for...

What does everyone do in the winter time? I know all about protecting your car before winter. I've done all of that, but I'm talking about when it's actually winter. What do you do when there is dirty snow built up in your wheel wells, road salt caked on the sides of your car, and you can't...

I did a full blown detail of my car last weekend. But tommorrow my wife and I are going for a drive up through the mountains and I want my car looking its best. I plan on doing a wash, dry, window clean, and tire dressing before we head out. I would also like to give the interior a quick once...

I live in southern NH. All of the auto stores around me pretty much sell the basic brands. Mothers, Meguiars, Armor All, Turtle Wax. Since I've become an autopian I see alot of talk about Sonus, Zaino, Menzerna, Klasse, etc. But I don't see these products at any store. I know you can get...

Before I knew any better I bought a random orbital buffer at Sears. It's a craftsman brand. It's 10". I've done three cars with it and have been really pleased with the results. I've used it to apply and remove pre-wax cleaner, paint polish, and sealer glaze. The only thing I had trouble...

I've always kept my car clean, washed, and waxed so I'm not exactly a rookie detailer, however only recently have I begun working with polish, glazes, and sealants that really make the car POP. Now that I'm more into it, I've noticed something that really bugs me. I've even seen it on this...

I'm not sure how many people on here have little kids, but I have two. And that means car seats. In my experience, they have a nasty habit of DESTROYING seats, especially leather. Does anyone know of a good way to install a car seat without it wearing into leather. I've tried to put a...

Ok, I was raised to believe that a coat of turtle wax in the spring and again in the fall is all you need to keep your car's paint looking good. And I have to say, it doesn't look bad. But after discovering this, and a few other sites over the last few days it seems I am missing out on so...
