I'm looking for a product that I can use to wash my microfiber towels, and also use in my Universal Pad Washer to help break down the compounds/polishes during use. From my understanding so far, a citrus based soap/product would probably excel for these needs. So far I've seen, DP...

I've been reviewing some threads that feature the use of an Atomizer Spray bottle and though to myself, I want one of those:woot2:. After reviewing some of the online detailing retailers and related and can't see myself spending around $40 for a simple spray bottle. So I started looking @ Lowe's...

Finally got a chance to use the Makita that I had purchased not long ago. I took a stab at m freshly washed and clayed '05 Taurus (Arizona Beige). I figured the easiest panel to try it out on was my trunk lid. Overall the paint condition is very good, this past July I had taken my time with my...

where to buy? Is the isopropyl alcohol that you find at Walgreens and related stores the right IPA? Hope I don't sound like Captain Obvious, but the search function can be a pain :nervous2:

My Makita is coming in tomorrow and I wanted to ask if there is a suitable backing plate that I can find locally, i.e. NAPA, CarQuest, etc.. to utilize the 5" CCS pads that I use on my UDM. I also have some 6.5" CCS pads also, white, blue and an orange pad that I would like to use. I imagine...

I know that this product comparison has been discussed many times before. But I am comtemplating the Flex 3403 due to the recent offer from DetailersDomain.com As a newbie, never used a rotary to date, only a UDM, items I like of the Flex over the Makita. The Flex looks slightly smaller and...

I'm trying to determine/clarify if I would be able to use the above mentioned pump to extract the crankcase oil for the following vehicles effectively: '97 MB E300 - read for a while on MB forums that it is the way most stealerships do it anyway, no real question there BUT specifically for...

Question for you folks regarding replacing tire(s). This evening I get a call from my significant other that she felt a pulling to the left, she ended up pulling over and the left front tire was flat. Now... the vehicle is a '03 Corolla, in great mechanical condition. One year prior we had...

Another stab from a newbie working on improving his "detailing" skills and photo taking... I spent the weekend doing a light polish to my daily driver and topped w/ CG's M-Seal. Also applied a coat of the P21S 100% Carnuba to my E300 that I picked out from AutoGeek directly while on vacation...

I purchased this cool looking itme from the AutoGeek.net gathering this past March. I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet but plan on using it this weekend. What cleaner/product can be used to mix with the water to wash/clean the pads. I think a sample of some product was given, but I don't...

Hey Guys.... As a newbie I have been reading about folks layering sealants/waxes and some applying waxes over sealants. I'm going to be detailing my garage queen again in the near future and will be applying the CG M-Seal that I already have. I like the protection and longevity of the M-Seal...

Sorry if this has been addressed before in a prior thread which I was unable to find. Just like with food, beverages, etc.. is there is shelf life for detailing goods? I bought a decent size of CG's M-Seal (1 gallon or so) and was curious if it'll go bad. At the rate I'm using it, it seems as...

Flame suit on.... I can't help to wonder. How safe would it be to try out my UDM on my fiberglass shower stall and tub w/ say, a white LC CCS pad w/ some Klass AIO. I recall using this combo on mytail lights w/ great results... There are some very small scratches that I would like to get...

I was going through my supplies and found a bottle of Color X from a few years back... I still have product left in the bottle but was curious if I should keep it for anything or just launch it into the "safety deposit box" (trash receptacle)... I'm thinking safety :tumblewee

Hey Guys, wanted to ask what affect(s) temperature of the environment plays on detailing results. I'm using the Optimum line and CG M-Seal. I ran a search using "temperature" but didn't get far. It's getting cooler and wanted to know how to handle polishing and sealing during the winter months...

I recently acquired an '05 Taurus that has been well maintained, to be detailed in the near future. Question: I have noticed these odd spots on the rubber trim around the windows. I'm sure ya'll have come across this on Fords as I noticed it on a late model Excursion while driving on the...

I took a stab at trying to improve the paint on my girlfriend's '03 Corolla (free test vehicle) :-) Finally got a chance to test out my new UDM. This car looks better than some of the '08 Corolla's at the local Toyota stealership I saw a few weeks ago :waxing: Products I had to work with: -...
