I did the full sonus perfect shine kit on my '02 Mustang earlier this year, then since I had a car show this weekend I washed it with Sonus Gloss Shampoo and did another coat of the P21S. I won my class at the show (99-04 Mustang Non-Cobra) which was a field of about 10 cars. Then, this week I...

I recently decided to start detailing cars on the side for a little extra cash. I haven't done many cars yet since I stay pretty busy with my normal job and other stuff. I'm hoping to get a bit more business though. I'm pretty cheap so far just to get my business going and hoping to get the word...

What is a good product for engine degreaser? My friend has his engine pulled out of his car and he's looking to clean up the engine bay a little.. what would be a good product for this? I didn't really recommend anything because I don't have much experience with it since my car is so new. Would...

One of my friends asked me the other day to polish up his Bogart wheels and he gave them to me last night and today I used Eagle one "nevr dull" and it didn't seem to make much of a difference. There are water spots or something on them they won't come out. I put the polish on them twice and...

I am thinking about getting a small side detail business going and I'm currently just trying to get ideas on what all to do and get a price list set up. I'm not really sure what a good detail even costs these days since I do it all myself so I'm curious as to what would be a good starting price...

Ok another newbie question, but I'm concerned about what you guys use to dry the car with? I currently use " the absorber" drying towel and It does a good job, but a friend of mine was telling me that they are really bad for holding dirt in and will scratch the paint all up. So what would you...

I know this is somewhat of a newbie question, but I have a 2002 Mustang I wash and wax it on a regular basis, its driven only in the summer months and I've had for about 2 1/2 years now. I'm looking to claybar it since the front bumper is a bit beat up from the massive amount of bugs we...

What do you guys think of this stuff? I actually found a bottle of it when I worked at a car lot someone left it in the back seat of their car so I took it home and tried it out. Good stuff. I really like how it softens up the leather and also.. the smell is different.. but I really like it...

a little history on me, I have a 2002 Mustang GT. I live in iowa so my car only gets driven about 8 months out of the year and most of that time it sits in the garage since I only drive it on nice, sunny days. I was reading over at svt performance about various waxes such as poor boys, and...
