My latest detail on a 2015 Polaris Slingshot SL that I picked up on Saturday. It was "clean", but not to my liking, so I gave it a top to bottom detail. Here is my list of products/procedures: 1. Cleaned engine bay with Griot`s Engine Cleaner, dried with a leaf blower, and sealed with...

It`s been a long time posting here, but I was doing some research and wanted to post my latest detail. I had just completed some modifications to my 2013 JK: 1. Fixed the suspension 2. New rear shocks (still waiting for these actually) 3. Front and rear diff covers 4. Stubby bumper and New...

Well, I finally had time to get a full exterior detail on the new C350 this weekend. The paint was in really good shape. However, I got hit by a flying rock Friday night, so now I have a rock chip in the hood. Sounds like a trip to the dealer for some paint, and a Langka kit! Well, on with...

I stopped into my Benz dealer to "accessorize" the new C, and started to talk about radar detectors. The salesperson was really hyping the k40 Calibre (Calibre Radar and Laser Detector Protection – K40 Bluetooth Radar Detectors) saying that it was the best one to get. They also had the...

In response to the thread on Wax As U Dry, I just did a wash on the new C350. The car is new, so it has no sealants or wax on it. I only had time to use the GG Spray-On Wax to get some protection on it for the week. I snapped some pics of how it came out... Initial impressions...

Well, after a little rest, I decided to tackle the exterior of the QX56. It has not had any wax or sealant on it since we bought it. (Yeah, I know....) I added the pics to the post, as someone mentioned that you could not see the slideshow... (Here is the slideshow if you like. I was...

It's been a while since I have posted here, and it feels good to be back. My wife's car, a 2008 Ivory Pearl Infiniti QX56 has been a little neglected. I had been traveling alot, and did not have much time for more than a quick wash here and there. I got a new car last week, and want to...

I just received a large Griot's Garage order, and I needed to make some room for the new stuff. I was cleaning out my supplies, and I found this stuff... Anyone remember the drama that ensued???? :soscared: (please excuse the horrible phone pics, but it's all I had at the time!!!)

I have a big job ahead of me. My wife drives a Polar White Nissan Armada (further known as "The Bus"). I washed "The Bus" after a couple of months (I know, I know...) and to much horror, I noticed that the whole body is covered with little tiny specks of tar from the constant construction going...

I mostly post on Autopia, but lurk here occasionally. I have been a member here for some time, though. Very informative site. I have been an "enthusiast" detailer for about 3 years or so. I have owned several cars in the past 3 years including 2 QX4's, A MB C230 Sport Sedan, C240, Jag...

I have seen Jeff's Werkstatt come up in several threads lately, and do not know that much about it. I have seen people talk about how it works, but not how it's being applied. I went to their site and saw their "system". Let me see if I got this right: 1. Wash Car 2. Clay if needed 3...

I was watching Adam's instructional videos for the first time today, and I am a little afraid. Maybe I have no reason to, but this is what he did: 1. Washed Car 2. Sprayed ENTIRE car with Detail Spray including windows. 3. Dried with microfiber towel. 4. Sprayed Clay Lubricant over...

I used to have a link to an abrasiveness chart for meguiars products (either their website or here). I cannot seem to find it now. :hairpull Does anyone have a link or a copy of the data??? Thanks!

It has been a while since I have been a regular over here, and I just got a new car. It has a nice pewter color to it, so I thought it might be a good candidate to use my Zaino stash on it. ( I was using AIO/SG/S100 on my old car) I know Z was not known for layering with other products as a...

Well, after reading all of the information I could find here, and on Sal's web site, I finally placed an order for ZFX, Z2, Z5, Z6, Z7, and the Leather in a Bottle (Cool stuff!). After reading Aurora40's detailed review on his car, I felt the need to share my experience with my car. This is...

Last weekend, I detailed my In-Law's neglected 97 Lexus ES300. It is Black with black leather interior and woodgrain trim. (Did I say neglected):scared I had not been in the car for some time. It was in bad shape. Anyway, the wood console looked like something died on it. There was some...

What do you guys think about Zaino or Klasse on Silver Metallic paint? Which will look better? I already have Klasse, but I might give Z a try if there is a consensus...

My New C230 has carbon fiber inserts on the dash, door and console. What are the best methods for detailing. I was using Plexus on my woodgrain in my old C240. Would this produce the same results, or should I try something else? I am afraid to try anything since it is brand new...

Well, here is the story.... My wife had a 2001 QX4 with 16k miles on it. Thanks to Autopia, it looks great. However, after 2003, they will not be making it any more. So we called the local dealer to see if we could get a good deal, not put much money into it, and keep our payments the...
