A while back I posted about detailing new car, then thought about going to a detailer. Anyhow....I did neither! However, i am looking to start up my research again, because I am off next week and plan to do it myself using a Griots G6 that i found in my brothers garage. Car is in great shape...

So i recently washed my car for the first time at a self-service car wash. You know the kind with a pressure washer and brush on the end. I scoped the place out before hand and saw all the brushes were laying in the dirt and salt in the wash bay. I brought my own wash mitt because I knew not...

I accidentally ordered a bottle of Sonax BSD from Amazon. Rather than cancelling the order I decided to give it a try. I am not a detailer, just someone that likes to take car of their car. I recently purchased a new car and haven`t had it detailed other than how the dealer delivered the...

I have a few questions hoping you all can help me with... I plan on taking my 2019 Lexus RC300 (Nebula Grey) to a auto detailer to get it ready for winter here in NY..specifically Long Island. The car is a few months old, and only has about 3k miles on it. Keep in mind this is a daily driver...

I`ve been considering purchasing a polisher to get my new Lexus RC300 (Nebula Grey) ready for winter. It just so turns out that my brother had a brand new Griots 6in sitting in his garage unused. It is now in my possession!!! I am slightly confused because the backing plate measures 5 3/4in...

I recently purchased a new Lexus RC300 in Grey. Love it! Two weekends ago I washed using the two bucket method....came out great! While drying the car I thought maybe I should use a quick detail to give a bit more gloss, I had an old bottle of Megs Quick detailing laying around, but wasn`t...

Yesterday I detailed my Jeep with the KAIO and SG. Came out great. Been using it for years now thanks to you guys! I was wondering if I can use either of these products on my soft jeep windows. I have some stains and plenty of scratches that I am looking to remove or make less visible. I...

So i purchased this RainX Glass Cleaner spray. Seems pretty good. I have always like RainX...not sure about you pros...what you think about it? Anyhow...now my wipers are skipping across with windshield. Any thoughts how i can stop them from skipping? Thanks. -Evan

So i come out to my car this morning to go to work, and i see my front wheel has been curbed. Turns out my car was in the driveway, and i guess my father moved it. In the process he decided to park a little too close to the curb. Anyhow...needless to say my Acura TSX '08 now has a wheel...

Damn nice shine! I just finished detailing my TSX. I have been talking about it all summer, but only finally got to do it the last couple weekends. The process: -Used KAIO...I was told to let it set before putting on Glaze. I gave it plenty of time...the following weekend...I put the...

So i have been planning on detailing my Acura TSX for months now, but have yet to get around to doing it. Now the weather is getting too hot. Anyhow...my question: I have purchased KAIO cleaner, and Collinte 845, to do the detailing. However, now i am noticing some swirls in the paint...

Can i use the KAIO and Collinite on my windows? Would this cause any problems. I used to use Rain-X, but I feel it deteriorates the wiper blades. I am looking for another solution. What are your thoughts? I did a search but could not find anything regarding these specific products...

I just purchase this kit of MF towels, sponge, mits etc from Amazon. It was only $20...so no biggie! Amazon.com: Zwipes 8 Piece Deluxe Wash Wax & Dry Kit: Automotive Any thoughts? Are all MF towels the same? These have no hard seams. I will say the wheel brush is a bit too small for my...

So i have finally received my AIO and Colinite 845. I plan to get this done as soon as the pollen and other little leafy things stop falling from the trees...probably a few weeks. Anyhow... any suggestions for applying these products to my Acura - Carbon Gray that gets parked under trees...

For my Acura - Carbon Gray.....I'm going with the Klasse AIO and then the Collinite 845. What QD do you recommend for the application of the Klasse AIO? Also what do you recommend for a Wheel Cleaner....factory rims. Additionally, I purchased all sorts of MF towels, applicatiors...

I am surprised i haven't seen anyone mention it here. It seems pretty good to be...but I'm new to this whole thing. To dry my car, i found something called the Absorber. Not sure where i got it from, but seems to work great. It is basically a rubber towel that absorbs a tremendous amount...

Well this is my situation. I am very new to this level of detailing...normally i just put a coat of wax on the car once a year. But this time i want to try bigger and better things. I recently purchased an Acura TSX, carbon gray. Unfortunately the only place i can park it is under a tree...

Someone told me that i could remove touch up paint with clay bar...is this true? If so do you recommend one? I have a small scratch that was touched up, but i would like to redo it. The paint was applied extremely thin. And is probably about 1/4 inch. If i cannot use clay bar, are there...

I am new to this forum, as well as "serious" detailing. I recently picked up an Acura TSX '08, polished metallic metallic (dark gray). I need to do two things.. 1- I have three scuffs..not scratches on the door panel. I purchased Meguiars Scratch X, to remove these scratches. Have any...
