Hey everyone, I'm looking at getting a different car and I have been eyeing the latest Maximas. I test drove a 2013 Maxima SV with Sport Package and I really liked it. It rode really nice, had many amenities, and was quick for what it was. I have never owned a Nissan vehicle before, but I want...

I am looking to get a 2009 Honda Accord EX-L V6 soon, and I had some detailing related questions about it. The color of the one I am looking at is Polished Grey Metallic (a darker grey color), and it has black leater heated seats. This will be my first vehicle that I own that has not been a GM...

I am looking to buy a new daily driver, since my current daily is getting worn out and I hate the car. Its a 2006 Chevy Malibu, no frills, slow as a turtle 2.2 4 cylinder, cd player that doesn't work, and the front suspension is totally gone (bad wobbling at certain speeds). So instead of buying...

I recently replaced the headliner in my car with a new one purchased from the dealer. I guess from the manufacutring process, there is some fiberglass pieces and other little things stuck to the fabric. What can I use to get this stuff off? I am afraid to vacuum it, due the suction weakining the...

In the next few weeks I am planning on phase 1 of redoing my garage, which is to paint the walls. As it sits, they are unfinished drywall white. I'd prefer to use a different color than white, but I don't want to use a color that will make the garage seem dark and dull when detailing or working...

I was wanting to see what microfibers you all use to clean the clear plastic face of instrument clusters and other gauges with. In the past I have used an ONR QD mix solution with some of the Cobra Super Plush Deluxe 600 puprple MFs that Autogeek sells. It seems that Autogeek changed microfiber...

I am never tried the Four Star Ultimate PreWax Cleanser before, but I have some laying around that I plan to use. Is it comptible with many sealers? Can Blackfire Wet Diamond be layered on top without a significant decrease in durability?

Hey everyone, I am looking to do a rail dust and iron particle decontamination on my car before I fully detail it again. I noticed that it is really starting to collect on the horizontal surfaces on the rear of the car, and clay doesn't fully remove it. I have been looking to use the Iron X Iron...

I have been doing a few things here and there lately on updating my garage, since it is the one part of the house I spend most of time. I have got my work lighting and detail lighting taken care of, and I want to get a Race Deck or similar floor put down in the next few months. One thing I have...

Lately I have been thinking about getting something different for weekend, nice weather to drive around. All I have ever owned before is GMs, and GMs other than mine are the only vehicles I have ever detailed. So I guess you can say I am pretty familiar with them. I have been thinking about a...

A couple months back I applied Collinite 845 to my car, and I want apply something else in a couple weeks that I have. I was wondering, can I apply Four Star UPP over 845 without having to do a citrus wash, or something else to try and rid the 845 first?

A lot of the microfibers I have used for polish and LSP removal have been washed mutiple times, and have basically seen a ton of use. So I probably need to replenish some with new ones. Previously I have purchased my microfibers from Autogeek, but I bought a couple diferent ones to try out a...

With the temperatures hovering in the 90s for the past two weeks, it has been pretty uncomfortable working in the garage. The past few day in the afternoons the garage temperature has been in the mid to upper 90s. I am sure that my uninsulated attic above the garage and uninsulated garage door...

I have been using the Poorboys Polish with Carnuba Blue for a while as a prewax. I find that works well at getting off any muck, grime, and tar that washing does not get. Its not abrasive and seems to really add gloss to darker vehicles, I guess thats the carnuba in it. Anyways I want to use...

I am wondering which pre wax cleaners I should use prior to using Blackfire Wet Diamond and Wolfgang Fuzion. I don't need anything abrasive that needs to be applied by machine, since I can get by using a mild chemical cleaner applied by hand. I know that BFWD is more or a sealant, while Fuzion...

I have been looking at getting some sort of cover for my car, since it just sits in the garage most of the time and gets dust all over it, literally. I have thought about getting one of the Car Capsule covers, CarCapsule: The Ultimate Car Cover, but it looks to be more of a hassle than anything...

I have an older bottle of Blackfire Wet Diamond with the Polycharger in it, and about to run out soon so time to get some more since it is such and awesome product. It seems that Autogeek, Mircosoft of the detailing world, now has the proprietary rights to the product and has redesigned the...

What are some safe, yet effective grease and tar removers that you all reccomend? I know that some stuff out there can be pretty harsh on the paint, so I'd prefer to use something that poses no threats. Any reccomendations?

I am looking for a good wax or sealant that looks great on darker vehciles, and wanted to get some suggestions. I am out of the loop on the products that provide the best in looks, since before I was concerned with whatever was the most durable LSP out there. The color of the vehicle is GM...

A few years ago I applied dielectric grease to the door weatherstripping on my car, per reccomendations of the GM owners manual. Now they have since started to accumulate some dirt on the seals and in places I have probably applied a little too much. I want to take all of the grease off them and...
