    Please Do Not Post Detailer Requests in This Forum

    Given the name of this forum, "Professional Detailers", it is understandably to initially post a request for a detailer's services in your area here. However, detailer requests, because of their regional nature, belong in their corresponding regional forum. The official designation for the...

    1992 500SL ----- Loads of Pics, Please No 56K

    This 13-year-old Mercedes belonged to the client’s mother and is considered a family heirloom. However, it was in need of a comprehensive detail. The paint has lost its ideal, rich luster and was suffering from deep marring and random isolated scratches. Under 30X magnification the paint...

    Autoanything sheepskin mitt

    I decided to order one of these since I had a gift certificate to redeem there. It arrived today and I must say, it's not anything remarkable. It's just as plush as several of my Eurow sheepskin mitts from Wal-Mart ( picked like fruit ;) )and appears to be constructed in the same way. The only...

    Rolls SUV

    This is perhaps the ultimate in bling for SUVs today! At a glance, it does appear OE. Hmm..maybe Scottwax's client will think about one of these.

    Car Dryer at Big Lots

    Head down to Big Lots to get a Foresight 160 MPH mini car dyer complete with carry bag . It's only $9.99! This is the same one I got 2 years ago discounted to $13. I've seen similar ones up to $40. It does well for door jams, mirrors, seams, stuff like that. I imagine it is ideal for...

    Examining Tire Dressings

    chml17l made some very interesting conversation about tire dressings in the Stoner products threads. :up There seems to be quite a bit information about them out there, perhaps not entirely accurate, complete, or otherwise easily understood. There's certainly no arguing which variety we...

    Saw this TOL item at Big Lots for $1

    http://topoftheline.com/dressing-conditioner-applicator.html They looked interesting, but nothing that particularly suit my fancy. I stick with foam paint brushes, swabs and pads. Considering TOL sells them, they're probably better than what I might have thought. Next time you're near a...

    Another option for masking while using rotary

    I just stumbled upon this product. It seems to be similar to those Bug Guard type spray on "masks" for temporary use. This might be good for areas ( I see they indicate tires and wheel wells) that just need protection from rotary sling rather than possibility being burned as well. If...

    I use a Swiffer duster to maintain my detailed engine

    Engine cleaning can be a tedious task if we let it go for too long. There are lots of nooks and crannies in an engine compartment, especially in those that have the engine and all its components really crammed in it tight like my Audi's. If you really want it 100% pristine, you're going to have...

    Norton Detailing Products

    I learned of this line by watching Dream Car Garage. I just got my literature in the mail today and the products look impressive! Although this brand is geared towards actual refinishing, the products do seem to be of Autopian interest I like the Black Ice sanding paper and the washable...

    Swiffer dusters for Autos

    In noticed these in black boxes marketed for use with cars: dusting the interior. I compared them to the typical ones in the orange box that I use for dusting my engine compartment. For all intents and purposes, they are the same things :5 duster heads and one plastic handle. I left both...
