i know we all like to use the open hose to sheet the water off our cars, but does anyone use an attachment too? my problem is with my truck and suburban being so big, i cannot dry it fast enough to avoid spots, but to be able to constantly keep it wet i have to leave the hose on, or run back and...

i have some polished aluminum, clear coated wheels on my truck. they've developed some water spots, rouch areas and what looks like normal paint marring. since they are clearcoated, would it be safe/effective to use my new 1Z products (UPP, PP, MP) to try and get back that great shine on them?

finally ordered most of my detailing stuff, the Einszett line of UPP,PP, MP, Glanz Wax, Spruh wax, PC 733SP, 4 pads, some MF's from ranney and thats about it. i also already have some NXT Tech Wax, Rain-x (interior/exterior), meguires gold class car wash and wax, meguires deep crystal 3 step...

ok, so i did a bit more searching and came up w/ a few new combos i could try. originally i was going to go with the delux polishing kit from detailersparadise.com, which is $210 and has the PC, 4 pads and the range of 1Z products minus glanz wax. then i am getting mf's from ranney...

the delux polishing kit i am about to order comes w/ 500mL bottle of UPP, PP and MP, and i was also going to seperately order a 500mL botle of glanz wax. Is this enough product to tackle at least my three cars? 99 Suburban, 99 Audi A4 and 94 Ext cab silverado? the paint is pretty good on all...

just as the title says, how do you guys like to tackle these tough and uneven areas. a big flat hood is easy to hit by hand or with a PC, but the door jambs seem like a whole different animal. also under the hood and other small, hard to reach places, how do you do it? is everyone just using the...

im about to order all my new toys and i need some new clay. what brand do you guys like? for my GF's tahoe i think we are goin to need something fairly aggressive but for my cars a standard "light duty" should be ok. i dont need the lube either, got that on hand

do any of the high end detail product vendors out there offer any sort of "customizing" if you will of packages? basically you pick and choose the products you want as a bundle, at the slight bundle discount? im trying to find the best prices out there for my first big purchase. thanks

i need to assemble a "starter kit" of good detailing products. i'm going to need some MF's, a PC, good compound, polish, cleaner, sealant, glaze, carnuba etc etc. need a new thing of clay, so polishing/cutting pads, some engine/wheel well shine, tire shine, wheel cleaner, interior plastic...

I'm about to order my PC in the next week or two, just need to know what i should get to go along with it. Things ill need: The pads (which ones? yellow, white, grey etc) A swirl remover/compound something? (such as DACP?) A Polish Paint Cleaner Sealant Carnuba Basically wondering...

just as it says, just wondering what products out there can not or should not be applied with a PC? thanks

so from all the reading i've done, it sounds like im going to want to go with an AIO/SG combo topped with some carnuba like S100, souveran, P2S1 etc etc. my question is, AIO is basically a chemically based cleaner, so i will have to proceed it with some form of swirl remover/polish to get...

washed my truck again this morning and ended up with a bunch of water spots yet again. I wasnt going for perfection it just really needed a bath, but the H20 spots are killing me. Obviously the truck is a lot bigger than most cars which makes it harder to get around to the whole thing quickly...

so im pretty sure its a lost cause, but my driver side bedside and tailgate got nailed last night and it left the classic "egging" mark in the paint. part of it chipped away, some is scratched, and basically im pissed. is there anything short of repainting i can do? cuz if i get that done then...

does everyone do full detail just to their door jambs as well? what about around the trunk edges (tailgate for my truck)? what about underside of the hood? and paint inside the engine compartment ie firewall, inside of front fenders, etc? FOr people with painted dashes, do you wax these too...

http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4287367561 there should be a link to the scratches or micro marring in my paint. from most angles the paint looks great except for some real defined scratches, but under certain light/angles you can tell there is "crosshatching" over most of the body...
