YouTube - Metro Air force Blaster I am tempted to get it. It's about $180. I don't have a leaf blower, so I feel this could double as that - not to mention giving my dusty computer a good blow once in a while. What do you guys think?

Should I take it to a touchless carwash and get the outside and the underbody washed up? Or Should I just use a hose and rinse my car (without washing it) from top to bottom in order to remove salt? Or Is there a better/easier way? Thanks

I have only once done the deal with my car a few years ago using this: Process: Wash -- Mothers Gold California Clay -- Mothers Clay Bar Wash -- Mothers Gold California Polish -- Orange LC pad/Menzerna IP (I found this to be the most frustrating experience) Mother's Chrome Polish hand...

Is it okay to clay as you are washing the car? for example, apply soap onto a panel, use clay bar to remove micro grit, rinse, apply soap again, rinse, dry. Is that okay? I find this to be a bit of a short cut. Also, should you or could you clay glass? mirrors? head/tail lights? trim...

I had parallel parked today at my college campus and I think something hit my side-view mirror and there are some minor scratches and chips. If you look at the attached image you can see some minor scratches and a chip on top right of the thing and another around chip on the top left...

Hello all, I havn't been here for a while. Last winter I spent a while detailing the exterior of my car. Now I want to make things even by detailing the interior of my car. I have a 1998 328i, and I was wondering what are the BEST techniques and products for the job. Also, any other...

Hey guys, I detailed my car past winter, and it's getting a bit dirty now. It's really cold outside so I can't wash the car myself. I was wondering if taking it to one of those touch-less car washes where there is absolutely no contact? Also, if I should go ahead with this then I don't...

I have three external hard drives: 80 GB WD USB, 300GB Maxtor Firewire, 400GB Seagate USB/Firewire. I'm looking to sell all three of those. I want your opinion on what the market is like and what the price for each should be? and if anyone is interested in taking them off my hands, we...

I'm having an absolute hell deciding what to do with life. Currently I'm an IT/Pre-med. But then, I am absolutely passionate about cars... more so than... Cell organisms. So I'm wondering, what possible careers are there in the auto industry? I'm not talking about detailing or mechanic or...

This detail was a long time coming. I had been researching about products, PC, polishes, waxes, sealants, etc. for a few months and had planned to tackle it this winter. I must say that I have never ever done anything to this degree before. The most I had done was wash a car, and not the...

Hey guys, I was wondering where should I apply Klasse SG besides the paint? should I apply to plastic trim pieces? rubber trim pieces? the glass (i.e. windshileds, windows, etc.)? front plastic grill? my chrome kidney grill? chrome exhaust tip? lights? wipers? etc. etc. And same question...

For my final polishes, I used AIO on white pad and FTG on grey finishing pad. Now as I took one area and applied both polishes on it, exactly what difference are they supposed to make? and when I wiped the residue off, I saw few tiny tiny scratches that are almost invisible, now I don't...

I was wondering whether or not I should thoroughly polish the car for now. I'm running out of time. I was wondering if I just did intensive polish, then sealant, and wax. I was wondering if that is ok for now then maybe in the summer when I have some time I can do a propper thorough detail...

After I did my hood with an orange pad and Menzerna IP using a PC. Things were going ok. Then I moved to the roof and polished that.. after washing my pad. After polishing it... there was black residue left on my pad...orange pad went black/greyish... Friend of mine says it's single stage...

I am having so much trouble imagining how some people detail their cars in ONE day. I mean.. It took me a day to wash my car and start-off on my claying. Claying took me 3-4 days. Then I washed again. Now I'm onto polishing and I'm sure it will take me another 3 days. Of-coarse I'm only...

Hey guys, Earlier this afternoon I started using the PC for a bit, just to get a hang of it. And to be honest, I was scared at first to use it on my car due to lack of confidence and the immense noise, vibration, and speed of that thing. I was scared I might not be able to handle it. But...
