I`m looking for some kind of recommendation on a long handled brush for washing. Sometimes I need to do the roofs of trucks and SUV`s. So a long handled microfiber brush is probably in my future. But I need one where you can replace the microfiber part, for when it finally gets worn out or too...

Well its time for another thread about this. I`ve learned a lot since last time, and instead of reviving the old dead thread, I figured I`d just start a new one. So I`ll just come out and say it, I`m scared of using polishes and compounds. I`m pretty much having to be self taught on all this, as...

Hi all. I wanted to stop by and ask about the best product in the category that Armorall occupies. Im a member over at the garage journal board, and something that is well known over there (probably here too) is that the most well known product in a given segment is usually far from the best. So...

Got some more noob questions for you guys. I love reading the responses around here so even though this stuff could be looked up somewhere, I trust this forum a lot more. So here they are: 1. Which car wash do you use? I'm referring to plain car washing liquid, where you use two buckets, one...

So you're referring to this, right? Just checking since they decided to throw that extra "01" on the end of it. LINK REMOVED Meguiars Paint Reconditioning Cream D151

Anyone ever tried to recondition a faded out spot on a seat or some carpet? Just something I was kicking around in the old noggin. Sometimes you can clean all you want, but nothing is ever going to put the color back in that particular area. Unless you had some dye. It might be hard to color...

Hmm.. OPC is expensive! LINK REMOVED Optimum Power Clean 128 ounce, All Purpose Cleaner, APC Perhaps you dilute it some? If so, what ratio should I use, that will still be effective? The chemical soap I used at the ford house (in the extractor) was orange, and it smelled powerful. I didn't...

I've been watching a whole lot of youtube videos, and reading up a bit, and I think I've finally arrived at the question I want to ask. I know that there are a thousand different ways to get to my goal here, but I guess I'm just looking to hammer out a quick and easy process that I can do every...

Its time for another steamer thread. I had another thread about an engine steamer, but this is related to a different tool. I'm now looking for a good steam extractor for use on interior carpets and cloth seats. To give a bit of background, I'm a small used car dealer/flipper and at this point I...

I don't really know if you detailers do much of this. But in case you do, what is your method of polishing out headlights? You know what I mean. How those pesky automakers just can't seem to figure out how to make a headlight that won't be seriously obstructed, thereby rendering it actually...

I'll probably get flamed for asking this, but it attracted me cause its cheap! I've never done it, and it kind of seems like a bad idea. But you never know until you ask. So anybody ever used oven cleaner as an engine degreaser? Oven cleaner is some mean sh!#. Definitely to be used in a well...

Hi all. I'm looking for a good place to buy those professional looking plastic floor mat covers. Most dealerships will have them in all their new cars. Its just a peel away piece of plastic, that looks as if it really sticks well to the diver and passenger side floor mats. In some cases it...

Hi all, new here. Just wanted to stop by and ask about what the preferred detailing steamer is these days. I did some looking around and a bit of research, and it seems that the VX5000 steamer is, or was for a long time the sort of go-to steamer for a great many detailers. Is that still the...
