My last Eimann Fabrik Hi Intensity Gallon is about to end and I'm wondering what you guys like for an all around cleaner that is similar to Hi - Intensity? I typically had two spray bottles of the stuff, one straight, one 50/50 for wheels. I was looking at some of the chemical guys stuff but...

i had a nail in one of my tires about 6 months ago and brought my car over to my local firestone to have it looked at. he removed the nail, put a plug in it and then, without asking me, added a 'tire sealant' around the bead of tires. at first i saw nothing, but after a few weeks, something...

got a friend in New York City that has a 10+ year olf VW, dark green that needs some TLC...scratches, swirls. it's been dirty for a while. anyone interested? he lives in an apartment with NO water outside. it would have to be at your place. I'll pass along your info if you PM me about it. I'd...

i need to detail my freinds one year old black car but it's front end is covered with bugs from his long road trips. the bugs are baked on and washing won't get them off. my EF bug/tar really doesn't do much for them either. any suggestions? paint cleanser? AIO didn't do too much. i'd...

my local costco/price club has zymol auto wash, blue liquid for 6.79 a gallon! is it any good? at this price, i can't believe it would be but perhaps someone could prove otherwise????

i love the stuff. gold class is fine, but p21s shampoo is de-lubrisious i made that word up. and that smell....

i've got the weathershield, and found that i too was getting water underneath....but it was from the seams. i went to my local camp store, bought a soft tent sealer and sealed the seams. this helped alot. not perfect in the rain, but are any? noah seems to be the 2nd choice after...

just a quick thanks to everyone who has sent a reply my way, helping me detail like i couldn't have imagined a few months ago. i just put a coat of P21S over the many layers of SG and the car couldn't look better. i couldn't have done it without the help from the people on this forum. my...

i was just directed to the valuguard site, and i'll be honest, i've never heard of it before. what are the products like? they seem to have quite a collection of products and the prices seem very reasonable. anyone using them? how do they compare? thanks!

i've got a friends black explorer, that has not been detailed for two years. but worse than that is that it has been through countless plenty-of-touching car washes and has been parked outside, bird crap and all, for the last two years to boot. it's got scratches, from the car washings, from...

i took the advice from many of the fine detailers on this forum and bought the weather tech floor mats. i couldn't be happier with the construction and especially the weight of them. i would recommend them to anyone looking for great rubber floor mats. 45.00 for a front pair seemed a bit steep...
