The Wife's Mazda was filthy from our trip to Houston coupled with a week of rain here in Dallas. Lots of bug splats from the road trip. Finally got a break in the rain and my schedule (only because it was Saturday) so I detailed the car. Kind of a bad time to detail because the rain was due to...

It has been years since we have taken a real vacation. The SO and boys have never been to THE CITY so we are off to NYC in the morning for a short 4 day visit. With all the travel I do for work I got free parking at airport, free airfare and free hotel. I purchased 4 CityPASS tickets on line. :yay

Been two weeks since I detailed the wife's new Mazda CX-7. After I finished a long day of work I washed the car. The Natty's Red is still looking great! The shine came out with a wash and dry. Also, the wheels where a snap to clean due to the PB Wheel Sealant. I got an order from AG that...

I have been using PB Natural Look for a few years. After trying different products I found that PB NL is the hands down winner. Love the product and it has always worked perfectly for me. :bow That is until now. :confused: The new Mazda we got has a black dash. When I wipe on NL it leaves some...

What is the best way or ways to clean polishing pads? My pads including wax applicators were dirty and I have been letting them pile up. This weekend I soaked them in a bucket of water with Wolfgang Polishing Pad Rejuvenator. Soaked over night then I used a stiff nylon brush (one from Lake...

With my work/ travel schedule detailing the cars on the weekends is not really an option. It so pains me to see my car so dirty! I posted a couple of weeks ago that we bought a Mazda CX-7 for the SO. Since I have a 3 day weekend I was able to spend a good part of Saturday detailing the new...

I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend and yet takes time to honor our dead military heroes. "...gather around their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with choicest flowers of springtime....let us in this solemn presence renew our pledges to aid and assist...

Just bought a 2010 Mazda CX-7 iSport! We traded in the 2001 Nissan Quest with 102,000 miles. The Mazda is Cooper Red. I'm looking forward to detailing a new car! Hopefully I can get a wash and wax in tomorrow before I fly off for work. But then, the Jag really needs a wash! Never had a red car...

I was parked and an SUV in the parking lot across from me had a board the owner build out of lumber and metal screws too long for the wood on top of the SUV. The wind was strong that day and blow the board off his SUV and racked the hood on my Jag. Huge gashes, not just scratches. His insurance...

This is just wrong! Tonight it will be colder in Dallas than it is in Anchorage Alaska! We are not used to or equipped for this! Sunday I fly to Cleveland where there is tons of snow. Brrr!

I've been researching and mulling over new rotors and pads for a while. The Dealer wants over $1,200 for new rotors and pads! I finally settled on www.brakeperformance.com. The prices were so much less than everyone else so i was concerned over quality. After reading reviews and some PM's with...

I know I don't post much anymore. I'm still commuting between Dallas and Cleveland every week but I got a travel reprieve this week! Tomorrow I'm headed with the family to Austin for Thanksgiving. so here is an early Happy Thanksgiving wish to everyone on Detail City! :dcrules

Been a long time since I detailed a car and even longer since I've written a post. New job has me on the road every week. Being home only on the weekends doesn't allow time for a detail. There is precious little time to spend with the family, run errands, take care of yard, etc. My car has been...

A while back I had a leak in the radiator reservoir. The Dealer fixed it under my Warranty. They asked me if I would like to get the radiator flushed while they did the job. I'm thinking they already are replacing the reservoir tank and all the fluid in that tank so how much can it cost to do...

I took a trip from Dallas to Houston and when I hit the stretch of I-45 through the Big Piney Woods it was night. I had bugs splattering all over my car. At one point I could barely see out the windshield. :yikes: Some of the bugs were huge! It was nasty. When I got home I gave the car a...

I got a free sample of Wolfgang Auto Bathe. I have wanted to try this product for a long time so I was very happy to get a sample. Thank you AG! :D I can’t comment on packaging and directions as it was a small sample bottle. Other than to say it had a nice Wolfgang label on it. :) The soap out...

I came across this site and wanted to share... Bring A Trailer

My first black car to detail! First impressions: Wow! I can see why people like black, what a huge difference when clean". :yay Second impression: "water spots! AARGH! Scratches! What a pain!" :wall I always thought my British Racing Green Jaguar was close enough to black to experience the black...

I just spent a lot of money fixing something that may have occurred as a result of using 1Z Kristall Klar Washer Fluid. I have only anecdotal evidence so I'm posting this to see if anyone else has had problems. I mixed the concentrate per instructions and I emptied out the existing fluid. I...
