I was going to purchase a can of this stuff yesterday at Target since I've heard from this board that it is a pretty good OTC product. The only reason I didn't get it was because I wasn't sure if it stains body trim or not. Anyone know?

I'm just curious to know how you built up your clientele? I'm seriously thinking about doing this. My brother-in-law who has a landscaping business suggested that I make up some business cards and he would hand them out to his customers. Do you guys drive around with vans or tow trailers to...

Just wondering if it is okay to use crumpled up newspaper to clean tinted glass?

I just purchased a set of wheels with a black painted center and machined lip. I want to apply a sealant on them to protect them from brake dust and also to make them easier to clean. I currently have SG, UPP and AJ in my detailing arsenal. Which of those do you think I should go with? And, is...

I got some sheepskin mitts from autogeek and upon close inspection and going through the fibers with my fingers, I found a few small strands of what almost resembled pieces of pine needles. Anyone know what this is from?

I like to keep my wheelwells and underbody as clean as possible. I try not to drive in the rain whenever possible and avoid running over any water or puddles in the road. Every now and then I remove all four wheels and clean the backsides of those. With the wheels off of the car I crawl...

I opted to use this polish on my brother-in-law's black Porsche. I recently detailed it about a month ago to remove a fairly good amount of swirls using Poorboys SSR2 and 2.5 followed up with Menzerna Final Polish II. I then topped off with 3M Imperiall Hand Glaze and S100. It appeared as if I...

The receptionist at my dentist's office has a white Mitsubishi Galant that had specks of cement splashed on the front bumper, hood, side mirrors and windshield from a cement truck that spilled some of it's load on the interstate. The company said to fax them a written estimate. I have already...

I have a car to detail later on today, but i do not have the correct size backing plate for my Hitachi buffer to use with the pads that I have. The pads that I have are the 6.5" size. I am located in Orlando, Florida. Anyone know where I can purchase some plates locally? Thanks.

Its only been a couple of months since I last polished and sealed my car, which is the above mentioned color. I used 3M finishing material to polish using first an orange pad and then a yellow LC pad because it seemed to take too long and too many passes to get the results I wanted with the...

I finally got my rotary from UPS today, but I still need some pads and backing plates.Is it possible to use my backing plates that I have for my PC? I am definitely going to purchase some rotary specific backing plates, but I was just wondering if the ones for the PC are compatible with the...

I am in the process of ordering some Sonus products. I am getting all three grades of polishes and possibly the orange swirlbuster pad. I also want to get the appropriate pads to apply the three different grades of polishes, but I need help in determining the difference between the regular SFX...

I have a silver car with AIO, SG, S100 and Pink Wax currently on the car. I've heard that UPP really makes metallic colors "pop", so I would like to give it a try. Where can I get this stuff from and would I need to strip all the products that are on the car currently before using it? Thanks for...

After reading the threads about the Vroom products found at Target, I immediately went there tonight to try out some of their stuff. The first target that I went to I bought the 12 and 2 pack of microfiber towels, microfiber wash mitt, a pack of terry applicator pads (not made by Vroom) and a...

I have just started detailing my mother's white Lexus ES300. Having been outside most of it's life (it's a '99). The paint looks unbelievably brand new. No water etching or swirls whatsoever. I am certain that it is much more durable and resistant to environmental hazards than german car paint...

So far I have purchased all of my microfiber towels that I use to remove waxes, polishes and sealants from autogeek. The ones that I use are the deluxe ultra plush. I have heard alot of people get their MF towels from Pakshak and was wondering if they are any better or worse than the ones...

Can someone please tell me what these are? I see alot of abbreviations on this forum and I'm trying to learn what all of them are. Those are the two that I can think of at the moment. I'll post some more when I come across them. Thanks.

I just finished detailing a fairly brand new black 911 las t night. The car had a fair amount of swirls with only a little over 2,000 mile on the odo. It took me two whole days, but in the end I virtually got this car's finish scratch free. I was using a high powered halogen lamp from Home Depot...

Just like the title states... I have no idea what this means so can someone please let me know? Thanks.

I will be detailing a black 911 today. I plan on possibly claying the car and then I will be removing the swirls using either the Poorboys SSR line, Optimum Compound or Menzerna Intensive Polish. I plan on doing the final polishing with either 3M's Finishing Material, Menzerna Final Polish II or...
