I just bought a house with a 3-car garage (yeah!!!) I have about two and a half days to paint it and epoxy the floor before the movers come. I am considering "Behr Premium 2-Part Epoxy Garage Floor Coating." Home Depot sells a kit that comes with everything you need, even roller covers, and...

A guy has a 4 year old Lexus IS. There are these tiny little pits on all of the horizontal surfaces, like little pin holes. The previous owner lived by an auto body shop. On the trunk there was what appeared to be overspray, although the car was never repainted. I inspected the paint very...

I have a feeling there is a noticeable difference in performance between trigger-spray glass cleaners and their aerosol counterparts, and just wanted to see what you guys thought. I recently bought Stoner's trigger-spray, figured why not save the environment, but it kinda sucks. It leaves a...

I had an idea that I thought was a good one, wanted to run it by you guys to see what you thought. Has anyone sprayed Febreze or Oust through the exterior intake vents while the fan is running? My thought is that it would eliminate the odors throughout the entire system, including any on the...

Red punch stain on offwhite carpet. Resolve got it pink, but is there a way to truly get the stain out? They have that 2-canister foaming Oxyclean stuff, maybe that? I haven't tried it, just wondering. Thanks

Heavily metallic paint so its hard to get a good reflection. I am also disappointed in how bad the orange peel is on the stock paint, except for on the hood which is great. No before pictures. Its only 6 months old so its in fairly good shape, but it did have some surprisingly bad water...

Great price on a Makita 9227CX3 rotary with extra pads and a bag, $175.67 with free shipping. Makita Power Tools (MAK9227CX3) 7" Electronic Sander-Polisher with Free Tote Bag and Wool Bonnets - MAK9227CX3 I ordered this kit from amazon.com a week ago for $189 delivered. The buffer came...

I noticed a lot of little dots of compound splatter, probably either Meguiar's heavy cut cleaner or #83, on my tool chest, lawnmower, dirt bike, etc. My old crappy rotary speed dial sticks sometimes, so I need to turn it up to get it to start and then turn it down to the speed I want (I ordered...

Zaino Z-5 Pro and Z-2 Pro both seem to be leaving these blotchy spots, the only way to get them out is to spray with Z-8 and then buff until its dry. Z-6 doesn't seem to remove them as well. It seems like I can buff like mad and get the spots to diminish, but they never go away unless I hit...

Hey guys and gals, I figured I would come here and introduce myself. I'm a weekend warrior detailer, I do a couple of cars a weekend (sometimes do them weeknights but that usually entails keeping them for a few days.) I have a full time job, only do detailing for the fun and some pocket...

Working on a black Ford F150, 11 years old, has spent most of its life unwaxed and sitting under trees. It has leaf outlines etched into the paint along with very heavy pits from stuff just sitting on the paint for months at a time. I was thinking Meguiars heavy cut cleaner with a wool pad...

I am going to buff a friend's black truck tonight. He had it painted "by a friend" who left heavy buffer swirls/holograms all over it. At night when headlights shine on it the swirls are just unbelievable. I am wondering if what I have on hand is enough, and if not are there any...
