So as i am claying my GF's black tahoe (pretty neglected by the autopian standard, she wasnt the orig owner), i noticed that all these spots that should get taken out by the clay arent. I can clearly see TONS of fallout, but its not on the surface. Its almost like a blackhead (gross uh?:D )...

i finally got to beginning to detail my GF's tahoe, and as i was drying it off i noticed this odd substance on the roof. it kinda had that rainbow-reflective look of oil in water on the street as i wiped it off, but it didnt seem to wanna come off, just smear around. when i swiped it with my...

Im getting ready to paint some of the interior pieces (paint them properly) on my truck and my GF's tahoe. I've been practicing a bit on some scrap plastic laying down base/clear and now wetsanding it. I have found its not half as hard/scary as i thought, and am seriously considering doing some...

I kind of want to get a smaller shop vac just for doing vehicles and such. My dad has pretty much the biggest roll around version you can get, but its cumbersome and the hose is not very long nor very good for reaching inside the car. I need something with a lot of flexible hose, smaller in size...

Ive been really busy lately, but decided i couldnt wait any long to try my new stuff on my truck. I took the tailgate off and gave the PC and 1Z line up a whirl on it. The truck is midnight blue, and my process was UPP 1x w/ yellow cutting, PP 1x w/ orange cutting/polishing and MP 1x w/ white...

so my truck was in my friends shop today so i had his jimmy to drive around. it was covered in tree sap/pollen, so i decided to give a bath. first mistake was QEW, shouldadonea normal wash for this since it was SO sticky,almost ruined two wash mits oh well. anyway, this is a car he got from a...

i gave this a quick try yesterday, just sprayed a semi light coat of the stuff on the front wheel well of my moms suburban and left it. a day later, after having been driven around our town that is torn apart right now with construction and dust, the well is very clean. it has a nice semi gloss...

I think im gonna do a brake upgrade this summer, just some hawk pads and better rotors on my 94 silverado. i figure as long as stuff is apart, ill clean up the calipers a bit too. what is the best brand/type of paint to use? obviously high temp stuff. also, what color should i do? my truck is...

my wheels are clear coated polished aluminum, and unfortunately they have seen better days. they are by no means bad, but they're not "shiny", not smooth, have some pretty hefty water spots, etc etc. what should i attack them with to really clean them up nice? since its clear, can i use the same...

so i finally gave my PC and 1Z line up a whirl today on my dads silver audi. QEW, clayed (which really smoothed things up), hit everything with UPP on an orange followed by MP on a white pad followed by glanz wax (way easy to use, beads very nice). my process was to spritz the pad with...

so what has everyone's experience with this combo been so far? how has the durability been? i think i am going to order some of both from pakshak along with my towels, so just wondering how its working out. i always hear it looks awesome, just wasnt sure how long it lasts.

ok so im finally using my new toys today (PC, yellow orange white grey pads, 1Z line up) and the very first job ever is on my dads audi. its bright silver, and an audi, so the paint is dang hard. I blasted it with UPP and an orange cutting/polishing pad on about 5 on the PC, but i can still see...

picked up some orange blast today along with my QEW. is it safe to use OB on my paint to remove some odd sticky stuff (looks like a soda splashed on my rockers?)? what about for bugs on the front end?

decided to stop by camping world today to see if they had QEW, turns out they have a huge inventory. Got a gallon of the stuff for $21 w/ a $3 coupon on top of that. Member price was $19/gallon. For that price i dont even really mind if its not as good as everyone says, hehe but im hoping it is...

Im off to college next year, and i know for a fact im definitely going to need at least a bit of income while im there. Parents are covering all my costs, but if i feel like going snowboarding for the weekend thats on me for the most part. I just really got into the more intense detailing...
