I was just browsing the "What's new" section at Autogeek, and I saw that they now sell Dodo's wash mitt, aka the "Wookie's Fist". Sheepskin wash mitt, Supernatural Wash Mitt, The Wookie mitt, wool wash mitt It looks like a good product, and the picture of it sitting on top of the standard...

This is a re-post. I tried posting earlier, but accidentally posted twice. The wrong one got deleted, so I'm going to re-post the entire thing. Sorry. My CR-V now has about 5,000 miles, so I thought this would be a good time to give it a maintenance detail. I gave it a thorough correction...

My CR-V now has about 5,000 miles, so I thought this would be a good time to give it a maintenance detail. I gave it a thorough correction with M205 when I first got the car in May. Since then, there's been just a bit of marring, and a few scratches/chips here and there. Nothing major, just...

I just received my gallon of Opti-Bond. I'm going to try it as a dressing for my tires, wheel wells, and 3.2 acres of black trim that I have on my Honda CR-V. Originally, I had planned on using a spray bottle to apply the product either to a towel, or directly on the surface. But, the...

I've narrowed it down to a few choices. All seem to have their pros and cons. I've been using OTC stuff and I'm just tired of it. I don't like a mirror-shine on my tires. I just want them to be black, and stay black, that's it. Also, it would be nice if I could have something that did...

I'm not a pro detailer, just a weekend warrior who likes his cars nice. I do my own two cars, and a few friends & family's cars. So far, all of my work has been done via PC. Everything I've learned on Autopia so far says that a DA polisher is the safest, easiest type of machine to use...

I'm wondering if anybody here has any movie/TV credits to their name. All the cars on screen are always so clean and shiny. Someone must detail them. Has anyone here ever had their work appear on film?

Lately I've been applying a layer of Megs #7 show car glaze underneath my final LSP. I don't know if it really helps much, but I want to use it up. However, it seems to be affecting the durability of my wax (right now I'm using Souveran). This isn't really a problem right now since the...

Cobra Deluxe Jr. 600 Microfiber Towel, 16 x 16 inches I used some of these over the weekend and I just have to say, that these towels are incredible. Polishing, buffing, cleaning, whatever. They do it all. I have various types of MF towels in my arsenal. I have Meg's GC yellow buffing...

Here is some pics of my new 2009 CR-V. I picked it up about three weeks ago, and I've been detailing it in phases since then. I just finished it up this weekend. Products/Process Wheels: Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush Pinnacle Gel Wheel cleaner Klasse Sealant/Glaze Paint: Meguiars...

Like many, I have amassed an unnecessarily large arsenal of detailing supplies. My relentless addiction to trying out the latest products; coupled with the inhibition of only having two cars to work on has generated several basement shelves full of half-used polish bottles and wax jars...

I'm thinking about getting a new vehicle. I currently have a 2006 Infinity G35 6MT sedan. I love it...alot. But it's a stick shift and my wife refuses to learn how to drive it. If her van needs repairs, maintenance, or detailing, it's impossible for us to switch cars. Doesn't sound...

I was just reading another thread where a new car owner took his car to a detail shop and was dissatisfied with the services that he received. Then the thread went on the usual course of "That guy is a hack", and "let's recommend an Autopian-Level detailer". Disclaimer - The following is not...

I'm going to attempt to repair two or three minor scratches on my Black G35. I remember reading an article on Autopia with some detailed instructions on what tools I need and what process to use. The article is here Repairing Paint Chips & Scratches Except this article is much shorter...

Sorry I dont' have a better picture, but notice the mudflaps on my Infinity G35. I find the area around the mudflap, and the mudflap itself is difficult to polish with a PC and 6.5 inch pads. I've ordered a set of 4" pads, hopefully they will help. I was thinking that the whole thing...

How many use masking tape when you polish? I've seen alot of C&B's with people taping up every seam on the car, but doesn't that also cover a small amount of paint? Do you spot-polish after you remove the tape? Or is it just such a small area that no one will ever notice that it wasn't...

My 2006 Infinity interior is beginning to show some signs of wear. I vacuum and clean it regularly. I use Mother's Reflections leather cleaner/conditioner whenever I clean my interior but the drivers seat is starting to show some light cracks and the kids' carseats are starting to leave...

I only use my PC 3-5 times per year to do my own personal vehicles and the occassionial friend/family car. I've had it for about two years now (maybe 3, I'm not sure), and I think it's due for some preventative maintenance. It seems to work ok, but when I turn it off and the pad is still...

So daily driver's are never perfect. But with a DA polisher, practice, and patience, I can get my car to where I'm pretty satisfied. But I was thinking recently that a glaze might help me clean up that last 2 - 5 % of the defects. So after polishing, I'll put down 2 coats of Klasse SG, and...
