I`m looking for a squeegee station similar to what you`d find at a gas station. Something I can hang on the wall next to my wife`s car. She has to take a couple of long country 2-lane highways to work, and the bugs are pretty bad. Then it never fails, for some reason I`ll have to drive the car...

Hi all. I wanted to stop by and ask everyone what your mobile detailing kit would look like. Pros can feel free to chime in, but this isn`t about your work van. This is about what you`d take in your nice convertible, on a road trip. You`re taking a vacation, but when you arrive you want your car...

Hi all. I like cleaning my own cars, but I have to be in the mood to do so. For all those times I`m not, I`d like to pay a pro detailer to do it. Does anyone here have a recommendation on a good professional detailer in the Fort Worth area of Texas? Thanks!

1. Is there any point in spraying iron remover on the brakes? Seems pointless to me, but I see people doing it. The rotors just fling out iron constantly when in use, I can`t see how getting the iron off the brake system components is going to help anything. 2. Does covering the car in that...

I`ve been seeing that a lot of people spray the iron remover stuff on places besides the paint. The brake calipers specifically. I know the rotors basically just fling metal into the paint all the time, but what is the point in removing those particles from the outsides of the brake calipers...

This probably isn`t anything new for most of you. May not be any point in creating this thread. But its a big deal to me. Cause I`ve been rooting around for a final answer to this problem for a long time. I`ve asked here a couple times, and I never saw a reply that dealt with what happens to the...

I`ll probably never use the stuff, but you see it everywhere. So I gotta ask. What do you guys think of it? How does it stack up against the high quality waxes and LSPs that the pro detailers would use? Me I`ll stick with what is recommended around here. But I`m still curious as to how something...

The wife just got a 2017 Corolla. Only has 3k miles on it, so I`d wager that the iron contaminants in the paint aren`t too awful bad. Sure they are there, but maybe there`s a good deal less of them than on a 5 or 10 year old car. So I wanted to stop by and ask if I can just spray on the Iron...

I`d like to hear which chemical decontams I should use on a neglected car. I like the idea of putting some liquid on the car, and letting it eat the contams, and rinsing it off. That way you`re dragging less contams across the clear coat when you clar bar the car afterwards. Which ones do you...

Correct me if I`m wrong here, but Megs 105 is one of the most aggressive compounds out there. So I was wondering if its even necessary to clay bar if you`re going to be using such an aggressive compound. The car I`m going to be using it on has deep scratches, there`s no question that it needs...

Just a quick question: Are the quick and easy spray waxes just as good, and offer just as much protection as the high ender stuff that comes in tins? I want to say no way, because typically when something takes more time and effort, you`re going to get a better result. And those sprays always...

I`m looking for a good car cover for my 94 Mustang GT. The car is in excellent shape and I aim to keep it that way. But I do need to park it for sometimes months at a time, and I need a good quality car cover. I`m not real familiar with car cover prices, but I heard that some of them can get...

So out of the millions of products out there, which one offers the very best UV barrier? I`m referring to ones that you would just wipe onto plastics. NOT a wax for a car`s paint job. I`m looking for something that I can use on my pontoon boat. I have to fight back against the sun with this...

I`ve been getting a few cars in lately, that have some old road tar on them. Doesn`t look good at all, especially on lighter colored vehicles. Some of this road tar, seems to have been on the car for quite a while. Giving it ample time to really harden up and become a pain in the azz to get off...

I got the aerospace 303 protectant. The one that always has a pic of a boat on the front label. I know a lot of you guys around here use this stuff, and I wanted to ask if you know how often it should be used. Once per year? Every 6 months? I know exactly how to use it, looked it up on their...
