    I Hate Retail

    I hate retail sales as a profession. I was scheduled the past two weeks to work 63 hours. I am also in High School. Does this sound like torture/masochism to anyone else. It's like $400 for the pay period, but holy crap, I don't want Detailing stuff that bad (close, but that's a lot of work). 4...

    Which Clay do you use?

    Hey guys, I was wondering what clay everyone uses. I'm having a heck of a time finding anything locally that doesn't look like it's been on the shelf since the invention of clay. Any suggestions?

    Detail City Contest Policy

    What is the policy on contests? I know that if you win you're not supposed to enter for one year. Does that apply to the specific sponsor only, or does it hold true for all of the sponsors?

    Interior Tar Stains

    I was cleaning the CRX interior this morning, and I sprayed some all-purpose on the dust on the floor to dissolve it. I wiped it up, and I smelled it. Smells like... Cigarrettes. I have found the cigarrette smell, but I'm not sure what the best way to remove this stuff is. Any thoughts? By the...

    Meguiar's Tech Protectant Name Changed

    Has anyone been on the Meg's site lately? They changed the name to cockpit shine. I guess they wanted to make it clear that it slings like crazy on tires and should only be used for inside.

    Deep Cleaning Seats on a Budget

    Well, I've been driving my CRX around for about a week now, and it smells like a really old car. It doesn't have carpeting right now (weight reduction by a former owner), but I think the smell is coming from the seats. I don't think they have ever been shampooed, but I'm willing to work on it...

    New CRX

    I just bought a 1989 Honda CRX Si. It's got a kit, and it's in primer right now. How much do you guys think it would be to get a halfway decent paint job? Thankfully, there's no rust, so there would be no bodyshop work needed. About what does that run?

    LSP applicators

    What do you guys use to apply LSP's? I've been using a TW foam applicator because it was all I have had on hand, but it sucks.

    Ultra Gloss

    Has anyone tried Turtle Wax Ultra Gloss. I've been using it for a while because I needed a cheaper, off-the-shelf product, and it actually works alright. Lots of wax residue, but it comes off easily, and it actually adds a decent amount of gloss on a dark red car. Only lasts about two weeks...

    Meg's #20 polymer sealant

    Re: Differences between 4*UPP and EXP? Has anyone tried Meguiars #20 Polymer Sealant? I was wondering what it would make my dad's Dark Metallic Red Sebring Convertible look like.

    Sealants

    Are there any sealants that I can get at a local store? I'm ok with getting them online if that's my only option, but because I'm currently doing only the cars in my driveway I don't want to have to wait for it to come in the mail. I'm not sure on NXT, it says Synthetic Polymers on the bottle...

    I'm an extremely poor detailer who is looking for an inexpensive rotary. Does anyone have any suggestions on what is the cheapest and easiest to use?
