Me and a friend are going to clean up a project car that has a 1 stage paintjob, and has never been wetsanded. Can someone tell me how you are supposed to wetsand? All I know is we are doing 4 steps with his 1x1500,2x2000,1x2500. We might do a once over with a 3000 to see if it makes it any...

I am detailing a black car, but the paint has brown streaks on it from the clay bar. I tried washing it again, but the streaks just came back! I plan to do a 3 step setup, Megs #9 SMR, Megs #6 Cleaner Wax, Megs #26 Hi_Tech Yellow Wax. This is the first black car I have done, but these streaks...

http://www.autopolish.net/ You have got to be kidding me! Nothing can last 5 years, and would definately not be a good looking wax even if it did.

Well I came in tonight and checked my messages, and surprisingly one of them was a guy wanting me to detail his car. This is the first call I have E-V-E-R gotten, and I have been at this for months. Needless to say, im extatic! He scheduled an appointment and wants the highest detailing job I...

I have been looking around locally for a good engine dressing. Right now I am using Stoner's MSLT, and it does a good job, but it doesnt dry out, which is NOT a good thing. Anyone have some recommendations?

This is long, you have been warned. Problem: I made a small mistake yesterday. I had a 3 horu time crunch in which to wash, wax, and detail my car. And I made a major mistake. I went to wax the car, applied the wax, and stepped back to see how it was bonding and cross-linking. But something...

Well I was in an absolute rush today and ended up with a ton of problems. In order to save time on the black trim, I sprayed MSLT on EVERYTHING black, made a nice gloss, but a made a mess of the windows. I figure, hey its Stoner's so I will get it when I clean the windows (BIG MISTAKE). So I...

I know people always say to detail a car in the shade. But how much of a difference does this really make? I am forced to detail outside (garage cannot handle the ammount of water that would come from a full wash), and due to the gradient of the ground, I cannot put up a canopy of any sort...

First off, I apologize for not having pictures, and with the end results, I am devestated to not have pictures. Battlefield: A 1995 Explorer EXT, never been hand washed, never been properly waxed, never vacuumed more than once a year, and never has the interior ever seen UV protection...

What process do you guys use for this? Including tools/brushes. I have been contemplating using a Nylex brush to clean them out using a 1:2 of APC and then dress them with some Sprayway instant silicone.

I was using some Megs #6 on a 2000 Vette 2 days ago and had just got through applying it. So I am rolling around the car on my little creeper (Which I might add was the best $40 I have EVER spent) applying tire dressing. I get to the third wheel and I see this nice freshly applied ammount of...

I have a bad problem of people giving me cars with bad scuff marks on the door sills and sourrounding areas. Whats a good method of removing these?

I am going to be removing light scratches (most are swirl like) from a clearcoat in the coming days. They appear to be mostly from a bad towel used to dry the car. Currently I have Megs #9 to do this kind of work, and it is done by hand (I do not own a DA). However, if this does not remove the...

Would Megs #26 (Hi-Tech Yellow Wax) fall under a 30day or 3-4 month wax? How about Megs #6 (Cleaner AIO)?

So I order up some KYB AGX shocks & struts, Eibach Pro-Kit Springs, and some urethane bushings for the front sway bar and rack and pinion (offset since the car will be lowered). Allright so I go in to get started on my car. 1. Rear end goes smoothly, had to unbult UCA to get the springs in...

I went to my first car show today with my nice and shiny 1990 Mustang. I took 2nd in a three-way tie in Late Model Mustangs. They said it was hard to believe that the car had 141,000 miles on it, and were even more surprised that a 17 year old was keeping it in such good shape. :D

Allright I have a disaster coming up. Its an 88 Mustang and its had a 1-step DIY paintjob done, and has been wet sanded atleast once. The clearcoat was in the 1-step, and I have seen this car in person. All be said, it looks horrible. Any ideas on how to spruce this baby up?

How exactly is this done properly?

Allright, im going to give you guys and gals a scenario, tell me what you would do. A customer's car is sttting in your work area, its not filthy, but it needs detailing. You have 2 hours exactly to finish this car. Its a european car, so the brake dust is caked on like chocolate cake and the...
