    Don`t laugh .. it was a Christmas present, and I`m pretty sure it could be useful

    So, for Christmas, my well-meaning nephew bought me an RO polisher ... It is one of those so-called "wax spreader" polishers available at Walmart. With a 10" pad from *AutoSpa. It comes with 1 foam bonnet for wax application and 1 microfiber bonnet for polish application/product removal. I plan...

    "Clogging" pores in paint = triggering oxidation!?

    I am on a few detailing pages on FarceBook and I was explaining to someone the 3-step process I recently used on my Camaro and the wife`s Escape that have yielded good results and was advised by someone else that by doing this it will "clog" the pores of the paint and CAUSE/trigger oxidation (at...

    The WORST car I have ever detailed - 20 hour "rush job"

    This car belongs to a close friend. He is my polar opposite when it comes to car-care - he doesn`t do it at ALL! This is a black, 2013 Challenger, that`s SUPPOSED to be black, but unfortunately is more of a grey-ish and LOADED with scratches and swirls

    For those who suggested a BLUE bowtie, instead of black or gold

    For the "Old Schoolers" who prefer the original blue bowtie, I did this today with cheap vinyl tape to see how it looks. What do you think?

    Need opinions on a `Before` & `After` cosmetic modification

    I did this a few years ago with RUSTOLEUM "Peel Coat" and it lasted quite a while before the "paint" started wearing off and peeling. This time I used FLEX Tape (yes, the stuff you see on TV). I had bought a small roll to fix a leak in my shower, and when I was looking up vinyl sheets to redo...

    First impressions of the urofiber 50/50 polisher pad

    Recently I posted a question on how to clean a urofiber polisher pad. I got my answer, so now I`m going to post my impression of it after using it to do a little "deeper" clean up of my Camaro`s paint. Since many of the Hybrid Solutions products are vanishing from the stores` shelves, I`ve had...

    Question about cleaning Urofiber pads

    I recently (finally) got a Urofiber 50/50 pad for my orbital polisher and used it yesterday (that thing is AWESOME BTW) to finally get rid of some of the deeper imperfections on the Camaro. I used my air compressor to blow it out after every few panels and when I was finished with it, I took...

    Microfibers linting heavily

    I`m sure this is a 90% ME issue, and a 5% microfiber towel issue and a 5% glossy as all get-out BLACK CAR issue, but I`ve noticed, particularly when removing a spray sealant, that there is micro-lint over large portions of my Camaro. I`m using the Turtle Wax Spray Waxes, primarily the Ceramic...

    Honestly wondering???????

    After roughly 40 years of cleaning cars, starting as a total NEWB, to where I am now, I have noticed ONE CONSISTANT thing.... Out of EVERY SINGLE CAR, that I have detailed, the ones that ALWAYS have the absolutely NASTIEST windows (interior), have ALL been owned by younger (typically)...

    Max Wax after 3 MONTHS with NO maintenance

    Three months ago, I complete a full compound (1&Done) and waxing (To The Max Wax) of my niece`s Kia Soul. I was left unattended with it yesterday, and my wife "volunteered me" to do a maintenance wash. This was it`s FIRST wash for three months, so I got to see how well (or not) the Max Wax did...

    Hybrid Solutions Ceramic/Graphene Paste Wax - **Updated with RAIN video I got a new, unopened box of the Turtle Wax, Hybrid Solutions Ceramic/Graphene Paste Wax as a "payment" for detailing a friend`s car. I was curious about it, but had never bought or tried it for myself. So I decided to use...

    Rotary polisher to the rescue!

    Well, I THOUGHT I had polished out the damage from the car sitting outside, uncared for, for a month, while waiting for parts - I was WRONG. I THOUGHT that by using an aggressive foam cutting pad and then a mild polishing foam pad on my orbital FIXED the issue - I was wrong I went out this...

    "The Absorber" - the microfiber drying towel of the 80`s does anyone still use it? I do.

    A few months ago, I came across an old "Absorber" towel, the synthetic chamois that was all the rage in the 80`s. It was all dried out and hard, but curiosity got the best of me, so I soaked it with water and it immediately returned to its old state - almost like new again. So I wondered ... I...
