I'm having some trouble cleaning the embroidering on some Audi seats I'm working on. The seats are leather and the embroidering is white thread. It's gone all grey and gungy over the years. I've tried an APC, tried a little simple green and even some watered down resolve. Nothing is getting them...

Hey guys - I know some of you, like me, were looking for Optimum products (polish, compound, spray wax) in Canada. Eshine.ca has them in stock now, I just ordered all three. I haven't tried the compound yet but I had some polish and spray wax from when I moved and like it a lot. Just thought I'd...

Hey everyone. So this past weekend I did some serious touching up on my car. Lots of wetsanding, lots of polishing. Everything turned out really well, but I'm wondering what your thoughts are on adding more clear on heavily touched up areas? During the wetsand process the front of my hood, about...

Heya everyone. I've noticed a couple folks asking about products for exterior plastic trim lately. My car has quite a bit of plastic trim and I've never been happy with products I've tried on it, so last time I detailed I tried some Z-16 tire dressing. Just wanted to say it looks really good...

Hola! So, I just recently started detailing via a PC. Hilariously enough (well, not so much) I've managed to do 4 or 5 other cars before I got around to mine and have had awesome results. I don't really have the perfect setup for a wash/clay/polish job since I live in a loft style building with...

Alright, so I detailed my car today. I didn't have enough time (do we ever?) but after trying a number of panels with poorboys SSR3 I wasn't making much progress. My technique is as follows: Clean car: Apply SSR3 to LC orange cutting pad. Work product into 1x1 area with ~10lbs pressure @...

Alright, so I admit it - I've become a PC jockey. I don't really do much by hand anymore aside from sealant, and sometimes I even do that by PC. So today I got a re-supply of Poorboys 1, 2.5, and 3 in and since my condo neighbor has been asking me to do a little work on his car I thought I'd...

So my dad is coming into town with his black Merc S430 sedan. The car is a 2003 and has seen better days. I'd post pictures but I don't have any up close. To give you an idea of the surface there is moderate to heavy swirling from improper washing, a good amount light scratching near door...

Aside from ordering online from the States, where do you guys order your stuff from? I've been to Canadian Tire and Autosource and both pretty much suck if you want good bonnets, a wide range of supplies, good brushes, or really anything of any quality aside from a few luckily stocked Megs...

Hey folks. I did a search but couldn't find any specific answers aside from wet-sanding. Before I go that route I wanted to see if anyone has ideas for smoothing down some touched up spots on the hood of my car? When I bought the car I knew the spots were there and was confident I could...

Hola everyone - just got a PC and joined the site. I'm not sure why it took me so long to sign up, I've been lurking forever. Anyway, car is an '03 G35 (black/black) and it's a pain in the rear to keep clean, but I guess that's half the fun, right? I've been hand detailing for myself and friends...
