I just detailed a friend's explorer for him. It came out pretty well I feel. Unfortunately I am terrible at taking pictures, but here they are:

We just got our first snow here on Long Island. Last week I waxed my car and applied RainX to the windshield. Today, there was ice on all windows except windshield, and the wiper just took the snow off of the windshield like it was nothing. The wiper on the rear window just slid over the iced up...

I have Natural Look on my interior now, and after I clean the interior I always get dust like 2 days later. I almost always drive with the windows up, and the carpets and what not are clean as well. Is there something I can do to help prevent the dust from coming back? Are there any other...

I did a search an apparently no one has posted about using this combo. Has anyone used these products together? Can they even be used together? Anyone have any pics? Thanks.

I was curious what type of phone line the weekend warriors on here use. Is your business number your house phone? Personal cell phone? Seperate phone line? Does anyone use a beeper number just as an answering machine and then you call the client back? Have any problems with using your personal...

Since I'm in the market for some new pads as mine have fallen apart, I was wondering if I should order a wool pad because I see them advertised for oxidation but they are rarely mentioned on this site. Wool pads can hold more oxidized paint as opposed to foam pads. Would it be a good idea to...

For those who detail other's cars, and the trim needs to be lightly restored, is it the first or last exterior task that you perform? I'm trying to think of which would be most effective, but I'm going in circles. If I tape off the trim, polish the paint, and then fix the trim, I'll probably end...

I'm in need of an APC, and I am going to go with Meg's when I need to replace my DACP and pick up some 80, but for the meantime I need another APC and I've seen many positive responses about Castrol Super Clean. I saw it at Walmart today for $5.88, and I just had some questions regarding the...

Hey everyone. I thought it would be interesting to see what percentage of autopians use QEW or S&W compared to those who use a conventional washing technique. I know sometimes your washing technique may alter, but let's say which technique do you use on the majority of cars you detail?

Hey everyone. I need to make a webpage for a business project that I'm doing for school and ofcourse I'm doing it on detailing. Anyway, I'm hoping to get a big list of reasons not to go to a car wash to help promote the washing aspect of detaling. I'd like as many reasons as possible, and I...

I'm going to clean up my brothers oxidized 93 Bronco soon before it gets really cold. I did a small part of the door where the paint looks like it is faded and it came out really well. Anyway, I am unsure about what type of product to use for the top. It is almost like a mildly grained trim that...

After using the PC a few times, I'm pretty comfortable with it. Here are pics of an 87 Monte SS that my brother recently bought. Unfortunately, it has a MAACO painthjob that has a really cloudy reflection and was swirled severely. I think it would need to be wetsanded to make the paint look any...

If you were to detail a car, and you use QEW, would you tape off the trim, detail the paint, and then clean the trim and add protectant or should this be done first? Also, my trim doesn't have wax buildup but instead sun damage. I was looking into a dye for it. Which is better, Forever Black or...

Top of the line sells an 8oz clay bar for 17.95 (about average) but it says that you can use it about 20 times before discarding it. Can that be right? Maybe they mean it can hold contaminants from up to 20 cars but it would still only be safe to use on about 3? Here's a link...

Does anyone use this: http://www.topoftheline.com/wheelstep.html Looks like it could come in handy instead of carrying a ladder around but I don't know if it's junk or not. Any reviews?

First I'd just like to say that I have been reading Autopian posts for almost a year now and I think all the help that's here is great. I just had a question: I am going to order some of the Poorboys products once the weather breaks including there PP, SSR, EX, QD, S&W and there natural look...
