I am going to be cleaning some very very bad interiors. Will a 6 1/5 horsepower shop vac be strong enough to suck all the black grime out of the rugs? I just hope I have a cleaner up to the task. I can't find the Prestone carpet cleaner in ANY store within a 60 mile radius of me. Trust me...

What would I want for a car that has no swirls or anything? I'm just looking to see which product would give me the better shine. I don't go for the "sheen" crap ;)

Hey guys, I need a little help and I thought I would ask the people who have done it. I am looking to quit my job and take on detailing full time if all factors seem to be on my side. I work in Boston, MA where there are alot of high rises who have detail shops. Over 95% of them charge...

I plan to go nuts with ths product over the weekend but I was told to beware because it may be abrasive. Is it abrasive? How many layers do you suggest I apply this upcoming Saturday (I was thinking at least 10). Will each layer remove a little of the previous? To what point do you think...

If you do decide to use car shampoo, use VERY VERY little, you don't need much if it's just rain. Washing your car after rain is somewhat overkill if you use the regular ratio of shampoo to water, the soap will be too strong for the job and just strip more wax than it should. I wouldn't wash...

You could QD but it's the paint of using all that QD. Just hose the car off and blot dry, after that if you see the need for QD then go for it, more than likely you won't need to and you'll save yourself some car soap, save yourself from striping some of the wax, save your QD and most...

The soap whether you want to hear it or not will strip a little bit of your wax or whatever your using. I don't buy into that "doesnt strip" junk anymore, they all do, just minimal to the point where it doesn't take off ALOT but it's still removing some. I would do as blkz28conv said, just...

Ok guys, I need an non-biased opinion. Is Zaino leather treatment any good? I am trying to help some dim wit with his 2001 Pontiac FireHawk leather because he says it's cracking and he is using Zaino leather treatment every weekend. What "should" he be using, arn't Pontiac's leather seats...

Aside from the bars that streak and stuff, do all clay bars perform on the same level? I really like the Mother clay bar, but it's only the second bar I have used. The first was Meguiars and we all know how that ended.... I am about to use up the rest of my Mother's clay bar and I was...

I want to detail my car this weekend to fix swirls but it is supposed to be cloudy and I don't know how I can repair swirls if I can't see them...... I used to detail in the sun to see the swirls that were there and the swirls that were removed. Have any ideas?

I came out with: *64 oucnes of Meguiars car wash (only 2.99!) *Eagle One A to Z cleaner (you guys say it's good so what the heck) *Never dull *Meguiars glaze Not that much but the point on it all, good thing CMA doesn't have a store around here, I'd buy stock if I knew I would be doing...

I clayed my car for the first time on Saturday, jeepers creepers, that stuff works like a charm. I made ALOT of micro swirl marks, I folded the clay over and over again, I used a WHOLE bottle of QD and was not able to do the whole car, I had to make my own lube to finish but I got through the...

Aside from 303, what can I use to dress the hoses? I was hoping some of you guys could recommend me to use my tire wet stuff since I can't get anything from the store until friday night ..........

I really need to clean the floor mats my car came with, I was wondering if any of you guys could give me a list of products you mix to clean mats that are pretty bad off. I remember not to long ago you people were mixing nuclear cleaners to get your floor mats looking new. If you could give...

I finally bought a bottle just to try it out, haven't got my hands on my buddies car to test it yet but I was wondering if the stuff was any good, I need something to clean vinyl, not just protect it, and I can't find anything in any stores around here. The first bottle I got, I tried to...

Don't get mad, I don't know the name as of yet but my buddy will call me some time later in the day and I will get the name for you by this afternoon. It's way better than Ef-Hi. I hadn't cleaned my rims in one whole week and the brake dust was something to fear. With the Castrol stuff I...

The yellow pad and 3M FI-II rubbing compound works but takes too long, is there anything stronger that 3M makes, any other brand you guys suggest. The thing is, I am getting into detailing for money and I can't afford to spend 4-6 hours of just removing swirls, I would still have to layer the...

I have my first detailing job coming up and have a question. It is a ford minivan, quite new and has alot of swirls but thats the worst of it. My questions are below: 1.) How many swirls do I remove, do I make the surface picture perfect? Do I leave some swirls, what do you usally do...

I am just wondering, if you were in my shoes, what would you do? I use my car from friday at 5 p.m. until Sunday afternoon. I only take it out on nice days and put 40-80 miles on it a weekend. It is always covered and so forth. Before the winter I wouldn't mind using Klasse but I was...

Anyone try this? I was thinking of using clay, polish, all in one then: Meguiars Glaze Klasse Glaze Meguiars Glaze Klasse Glaze I know this would really really make the paint shine, I just don't know if it would bond right, the Meguairs product being only oils and all. I bet it...
