I was hurrying to finish a quick exterior detail on my F-150 which has a lot of plastic textured trim. After I finished applying BnB to the tires, I was too lazy to find my TR and and just used BnB on all the textured plastic trim (mirrors, mudflaps, bumpers) as well as the rubber window seals...

A buddy of mine wants me to do his wife's 900S convertible. I only have protectant for vinyl, and he says the top is canvas/fabric. Can anyone recommend a good OTC protectant for fabric convertible tops? Where/what stores can it be bought? Thanks.

I currently use PwC as part of a multi-step, something like SSRx/PwC/EX. I love it used this way for my own vehicles and close friends. I am also a neighborhood weekend warrior for cash, and some people can only be convinced to do a wash/1-step wax (BTW, these are the same people that think I...

Greetings, After reading, learning, and taking so much from these forums after the last months, I decided I wanted to share some recent experience. Not to brag, because I know I still have lots to learn, but more to show others the capabilities of some products. Many write on these forum that...

I am doing a friend's Explorer this weekend. I thought I would try Megs #80, followed by EX-P. The paint is a dark blue metal flake with light swirls. Will the EX-P have any bonding issues with the Megs oils? Durability? Would you suggest a topper over the EX-P? Thanks for any advice.

I am relatively new to paint polishing, but I have had pretty good success using the Poorboys SSR product line (they seem very user friendly, especially for a novice like myself). Well, today I was doing a neighbor's car which had a ton of swirls and some scratches on a black Maxima. I...

What is the preferred order of apply swirl removers and Pro Polish? Does it depend on how many SSR steps are needed, or does the order matter at all? For example: Wash Clay Pro Polish with polishing pad SSR 2.5 with light cutting pad SSR 1 with polishing pad then LSP or . . . Wash Clay...

I just got started doing a few vehicles in the neighborhood for some pocket money. I had been using a 2-step process after washing (UPC/UPP or PwC/EX, etc.) I wanted to offer a quicker (and cheaper) option for those who only want a basic exterior wash and 1-step wax. What would you...

I am new to detailing and this forum, but it seems to me by reading these threads there is a common belief that it is necessary to apply 2nd or 3rd coats of LSP by hand instead of PC. Although it was only my first try with the PC and 4* UPP, I found the PC worked very well to apply the product...

Greetings all, I am a Newbie to detailcity and detailing, and this is my first post. Thanks to all others for all their posts, as I have learned greatly from all the information available here. I hope to start a new hobby keeping my family's cars looking their best and protecting the finish as...
