Hey guys, I'm trying to detail my '99 BMW 323i and I've completed the hood. I read in other threads that BMW sometimes has a very hard clear coat, so maybe that is why I did not get very good results. What could I have done better? (See questions below). I used 1Z polish (the green bottle) with...

A couple days ago I washed, clayed, and washed the windshield of my 2007 Subaru. Before the treatment my wiper blades worked very well on the windshield, clearing the winshield completely of water in smooth fashion. After washing, I dried, cleaned again with stoners, and dried. Then I did a...

Once upon a time I came across some type of virtual garage site, a place that would give you space for your car pictures, info, ect. free of charge. The site had a neat design, and many other users with their own "garage space." If you know of any sites like this please post them so that I can...

If the paint on my brand new car is free of swirls and marrs, can I just use a decon kit on it and go straight to an LSP? If so, can you recommend some good LSP's for the job? I know AIO is good, but I'm not sure it's an acrylic sealant. I was thinking more of skipping Optimum Polish and just...

Well I'm getting ready to detail a brand new car. I was initially advised that I didn't need to use any compound (either OHC or OC) becuase the paint is new. Heck I could even skip the polish unless there were swirls or marrs was the advice I got. Now I see alot of guys using OHC and OC even on...

My 2007 Subaru Outback has plastic lower body cladding. I've heard a few people say now that they do the lower plastic body cladding the same way they do the paint: clay, polish, wax. It seems to turn out nicely that way. But I read a tutorial once that said not to treat plastic the same as...

OK I'm starting to figure out some of the code you guys speak in and begninning to learn which products are good. Here are two line-ups I'm deciding between, I would appreciate knowing your opinion on the comparison. For now I plan on working by hand, and a synthetic sealant makes sense to me...

Some waxes have cure times, does polish or cleaner also have cure times that one should wait before applying the wax over the polish? Thanks

Well I've been soaking in a ton of info over the last few days. One things that is overwhelming is the variety of products out there. As a Noob, I really can't figure out how to match products in a way that makes sense. That's where you veterans come in! I don't have alot of cash to burn on...

OK, the Subaru I ordered should be here soon. It would be convenient to let the dealer wash and wax it after removing the plastic it ships in (they prep it for free), but I'm wondering if it would be significantly better for me to take the time to take off the plastic and detail it myself. What...
