Bird poo does not destroy your car's paint... at least not by itself — Autoblog Interesting findings.

Lately I've noticed an increasing trend in single speed drivers in my area. These (mostly minivan and SUV) drivers seem to go one speed everywhere. Usually it is around 43 mph. It doesn't matter if its a rural road, a neighborhood street, school zone or even PARKING LOT.:nervous2: While its...

Probably the first thing many of you are thinking is why is someone posting a brake pad review in the detailing product section of a detailing forum. Allow me to explain. Since I started driving I have dreaded brake dust. I have had many cars over the years and all of them had brake dust...

Nice deal at full price, but at 7.50 it's smokin.

What do you guys are fair prices for selling detailing products? I've seen lots of stuff priced at like 80-120% of current prices from vendors, which sits and rots with the owner bumping and wondering why his stuff hasn't sold. I've also seen stuff posted at fire sale prices and stuff gone in...

What are some readily available products that have been forgotten? I feel like there are plenty of OTC products that still provide a good punch but get no love because of all the new releases from our favorite vendors. What's a product you really like that gets very little action on the...

I gotta say I'm getting tired of cleaning applicator pads. Waxes are a breeze but more durable sealants make it a struggle that I'm starting to think is not worth my time. Wally World has applicators for 2/$1.67 for microfiber, but I'd like to find something that I'd feel less guilty about...

I have two cars that are parked outdoors 24x7. As much as they need good paint protection, they need clean paint. I have noticed that claying, while getting the surface smooth, does not clean the paint completely. If I continued to apply a wax or sealant on top of this grime, the surface would...

I'm working on an experiment and ran into a strange issue. Has anyone used Z2 on single stage paint? I polished the surface with UNO/P085RD until it was as glossy as could be, dawn washed it afterwards. When applying Z2 I am getting significant paint transfer to my applicator. I get no paint...

I'm looking for a foaming sprayer, something similar to this: 48Oz Poly Sprayer/Foamer 1054 By Chapin Mfg Looking to use this with APC and car wash soap. I'd like something that foams well and is durable.

This looks very interesting! Supposedly its going to be distributed in Europe only and $200+ if the rumors are true....

I'm all about reducing the time it takes to do certain steps in the detailing process. There are things I love doing like cleaning leather or putting on the LSP, and things I dread like cleaning tar out of wheel wells or cleaning really dirty windows. Up there with cleaning wheel wells is...

I'm starting to pare down my LSP collection, and I started to think of good reasons to get ride of quite a few of them. I think my #1 dislike is LSPs that look great after application and then fall on their face after a rain or wash. Just curious what you guys are seeing. The worst: FMJ and...

In the detailing product business, who has the best and worst looking packaging? My vote- Best: Meguiars and Werkstat Worst; tie between Zaino and Klasse

Sometimes some of the greatest discoveries are by accident. Since I've been doing some (mechanical) work on my older S4, I decided it would be fun to do some comparison tests as the car was going to be parked for a while. The paint is in pretty poor shape, it has moderate swirling and hasn't...
