MODS: If this is in the wrong section, please move as appropriate. Thank you. Every now and then, I like to get an "overview" of multiple things at once. A snapshot, if you will. Rather than going back and forth between different web pages, trying to remember details, costs, etc, I'd rather...

This post is weird for me. On some level, I fell like a complete newb for asking. But, on another level, I need to know the WHY aspect. I've been detailing for just over a year, and have corrected a handful of cars. I've always gotten the results I was looking for and have left every single...

I'm revisiting the mobile wash unit idea that I put on hold last year. It's a new year, after all. Due to water restrictions here in California, I haven't been able to use a garden hose to wash cars at home. My landlady doesn't allow for that. So I'm looking at putting together a SMALL...

Was curious if there was a 3d/HD SEMA Detailing Challenge like there was in 2014? Anybody know?

Sooooo, what do people do about the truck beds on pick-up trucks? Do people actually detail the insides of these truck beds? If so, what method are people using? Thanks ! !

Hello Autopia!!! I was doing a test for myself, and after viewing the video I made of the coin-op self service car wash, and how the water was behaving, I got curious as to what others would think. Although some of the waxes behaved in a way I expected, others did not. I prepped the hood of...

I hope someone at 3D/HD can clear something up for me. Or anybody else who might have an idea. Last night, I received my order of Bug Remover from Amazon. I was happy. Haven't tried it out yet, but I like getting things shipped. During my lunch break today, I went over to 3D Santa Ana to get...
