I have always wanted a car bra, especially for road trips. The bug strikes and little chips and dings will ruin the front end of a beautiful car. I recently purchased a "Perfect-Fit" car bra for my Grand Prix and I need some feedback from the Autopians about your thoughts on bras & hood...

I've been a LOYAL / DIE-HARD Zaino user for over a year now. I've actually been quoted as saying..."Nothing but Zaino will ever touch my car". I've read nothing but good reviews about EO Wet Wipe 'N Shine. I picked up a bottle at my local auto parts store just on a brain-cramp. I...

I've read hundreds of posts and done multiple searches on "clay".... There seems to be a strong difference of opinion on this matter. I recently put 2 coats of Zaino (Z2) on a customer's car. A week later he called me stating that some overspray had gotten on his car from some nearby...

I have a weekend detailing business out of my driveway/garage. I have several regulars, who have me do a complete detail every 2-4 weeks. There is one customer, however, who continues to CHEAP-OUT on me! He will call me and say, "I just want you to wash it, THAT'S ALL". No interior...

I was entered in a Car Show last Saturday and, in my haste to prepare, I forgot to put a fresh bottle of my favorite QD (Z6) in my detailing bag! There was an auto parts store near the show, so I stopped in a purchased a bottle of Mother's Showtime. I was very dissappointed in it's...

A good friend and fanatic detailer told me to use this method when claying and I'd never go back to using the QD method or the Car-Wash-n-Water method. 1. Thoroughly wet the clean car with water from the hose. 2. Keep the hose running with a very light stream (low pressure) and clay...

I entered two shows this weekend. Picked up a 1st in Class on Saturday and a 2nd in Class on Sunday. At the Saturday show, (all makes, models, years) the judges were actually inspecting the cars with FLASHLIGHTS & MIRRORS!!!! I thought, "I don't stand a chance!" But my wife had...

I did a complete detail on this '02 Alero. The engine bay was the most dramatic change though!:D BEFORE:

....Accord..... Very nice color!:) A fairly new car. VIRGIN PAINT!!!!:up :) So I gave it the LUSTER-TOUCH! 1. Dawn wash 2. Clay bar 3. Z2/ZFX 4. Z6 5. Z2/ZFX 6. Z6 7. Vac'd interior 8. Dusted / cleaned interior 9. Rain-X 10. Dressed tires and wheel wells Total...

I'm just about out of Zaino Show Car Wash. I like it but it's expensive and could be "sudsier". (Although I love the aroma!) It does an excellent cleaning job. I've heard that Cherry Suds is economical, smells great and is super-slick, in addition to its great cleaning power. Anyone use...

America must have a love affair with car badges, decals and stickers!!!! I see cars daily state Make, Model, Series, Dealer, Engine Displacement, Number of Valves, "Special Edition", Suspension type, 4x4, 4x2, V8, V6, RamAir, etc......the list goes on and on!!!!!! My Grand Prix had a...

Last Sunday, I did a complete detail on my 2001 Grand Prix. It looked BRAND NEW. I was out of town this week and my wife called me and said: "You're going to be mad at me." "I got caught in the rain in your car!" I simply replied......."Good, that means I'll get to detail it again!":D...

Last night, my car was essentially clean, but it had some rain spots from a light sprinkle during the day. I QD'd the entire exterior and it took an hour! (including chrome wheels).... Two nights ago, I did a wash (Z7) and dry and it took about the same time. Which is quicker for you...

The "4th Annual Rumble in Raytown" was yesterday....(local show) Around 175 cars. 1st in Class.

Well I made a huge mistake on Saturday. I took my BLACK car out and got caught in a little rain. (that's not the mistake) I decided to give it a quick hose rinse before putting it away in the garage (that's not the mistake) Then, in all my incredible wisdom, I decided to DRY IT A LITTLE...

There's just something about a partly cloudy day that brings the best out of a BLACK car!

I was out detailing all three of my cars Saturday and my neighbor asked me if I could make his car look like new for $200. I said for 200, I'll give him the full deal......door jambs, engine bay, Zaino protection, wheel wells, EVERYTHING! We had it planned for Sunday, but it turned out he...

Off and On rain.... What better to do than SLAP ON another coat of Z !!! Love that stuff.

Here's the stuff I take to car shows.......... And it fits in my "tool bag"..... It rides in my trunk all the time.........birds don't stand a chance!

I keep reading about it and I finally gave it a try. The reason was that I had really nice water beading, and a great shine, but not much depth..... WOW!!!! A little S100 and it looks like a new car..........and on BLACK!!! AWESOME! Thanks, everyone, for the good advise. ??? At...
