I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this question. I was thinking of paying a professional detailer to do my wife`s car. I have arthritis really bad and it has been killing me lately. Her car needs done and it bothers me that I can`t take care of it. I was thinking of having it done...

I was wondering if anyone uses this AIO Polish and Seal. It looks like a great idea if it works. I have so much sealant and wax I bought from Autopia when I was detailing for money that I really don`t need anything but I have arthritis so bad a one step polish and seal would be great. I know it...

I am looking to see if there are any Autopia type detailers in Middle Georgia. I need to find a detailer that can be trusted. Since arthritis has got me down, it looks like I may have to pay someone to detail my cars and trucks. I hate it because I love making things shiny. Any help is...

I am looking for a good detailer in the Middle Georgia area. Warner Robins or Macon or the surrounding areas. Any help would be appreciated. I used to do all my cars and trucks myself but my arthritis has become very painful, so I do what I can and pay for the rest. I would like to find somebody...

Where has the TOGWT been? I tried to PM Jon and the site would not allow me or his PM is turned off. Did something happen and I missed it? I was just curious because I enjoy reading his responses along with the other Autopia regulars. Wes

I was going to purchase a rotary. I was thinking of buying the one that everyone is getting at Harbor Freight for 24.99. But in my searches on rotaries I noticed someone mentioned this one as a alternative http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=92623 I was wondering...

I use Grit Guards in my wash buckets. I was wondering how many of Autopians use them in their dip buckets where you dip your mitts to clean them before going back in the wash bucket. I am trying to decide if I want to buy two more for my dip buckets. Thanks, Wes

I am doing my wife's car a 97 Camry. This is my first time using my PC. It needs a good cleaning so I am starting with DACP with a Meg's 8000 polishing pad. After I have done the hood, trunk and roof. There are horizonal scratches (very light) that I seem to have created, that look like swirl...

Does anybody have experience with this pad? I just ordered one from CMA and I wondered how well they work? I was thinking of using it to apply AIO or a LSP. I also ordered the MicroFinger Finishing Pad if anybody knows about these. Here is the link to them if anybody wants to check them out...

I messed up my wheels on my 2000 Dodge 1500 Quad Cab. They are what looks like brushed aluminum with three spokes. They were the upgrade wheels when I bought my truck. I used I think Westly's wheel cleaner on them before I was an Autopian and I hazed them or something. When I clean them and then...

Does anybody use the Grit Guard that AutoGeek sales? It seems like a good idea and I'm thinking of buying a couple but one thing that I am debating is if the dirt falls to the bottom of the wash bucket and your wash mitt floats at the top, how would the old dirt get back in your wash mitt...

I am starting to detail for profit (or at least to pay for all the detailing stuff I buy) on my days off. I have my first two jobs this Friday I was wondering if I could get some advice on speeding up my details and time saving tips for the inside and outside details. I've learned so much from...

I would like some advice on cleaning wheel wells. I was thinking of using a tire cleaner and a tire brush. After cleaning I was gone to try spraying it with one of the one step tire cleaner/dressings. Is this a good idea? Do the one steps cause trouble if sprayed in the wheel well? If I apply a...

Mike, I was wondering if there are gonna be any detailing classes in Georgia or any of the states around Georgia this year. Thanks, Wes

I just purchased a PC and I am excited to try it out. I have read Autopia's guide on using a PC and the PC guide that was posted at CMA. I've read all I could find on the PC and pads and I still have some questions. I have decided to buy LC pads from the company. I will buy either 2 or 3 of each...
