It was way too much work to make my car acceptable to post here. Not that it was in horrid condition or anything, but I had to wash my car 3 times in 3days... Tuesday evening I washed and waxed. The next day I was forced to park in a dirt lot. It also rained, with a touch of sun to burn-in...

I worked on an 80s merc convertible this weekend that was severely oxidized. It was very chalky and the car looked pink rather than red. This was my first time really detailing a non-clearcoated car. I clayed it, but after I began polishing, I questioned whehter that was a necessary step...

There seems to be what's left of some scotch tape on my friend's miata. I'm too scared to try anything that's remotely aggressive, so I figure it best to ask the experts. What should I use to take off the adhesive while not harming the plastic window in any way?

In my family's garage, we have the following cars: 2002 Toyota Camry, pearl white 2003 Mazda Miata, black 2000 Acura TL, metallic silver 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee, metallic green (i think its metallic, forgot) 1997 Mazda Miata m-edition, green (friend's) To my understanding, the first 4...

Here is the interior of my dad's jeep: It flaps around in the wind and is drooping more by the week. Other than having a professional fix it up, is there any simple or temporary thing I can do about this?

So I was using ex-p for the first time and after buffing, I saw this bug on the roof. :) Here he is trying to get his feet under him to stand: And here he is falling flat on his face. hahaha. His constant struggle to stand on my slick roof was kinda amusing, so I got a clip of it...

Visited a Big Lots for the first time yesterday. I found a nice wool wash mitt there for 4 bucks. Thats a dollar savings on vs. the Eurow mitt from walmart :). I like the band more on this one. The Eurow mitt's green band felt a lot more scratchy. Maybe it's just me.

I was wondering, since QEW is good enough to wash a car without a hose and spraydown, how come I dont hear people using this as their typical car wash? Is it too strong and strips wax? I used it the other day the way it was intended (buckets, no hose) and it was scary, but it worked out ok.

My car is a black '03 miata. I want to be able to play around with different combinations to give my car different looks. I don't want to end up buying something that another product does very similarly. I'm looking for different waxes to use a toppers for my #9 and vanilla moose (on order)...

I no longer have any z1 but have one full bottle of z2 leftover (i dont think ill buy anymore zaino). I do wanna go ahead and use whats left of it, but I dont want to have to buy zfx or prelok just to use it. What is affected if I zaino a (silver) car without this step? Durability? Shine...

I'm looking for the nxt wash, NOT the wax. My walmart had the wax and the nxt quik detailer i guess it is, but no wash. I checked a second one but it had no nxt products. Should I try other wallys or is the nxt wash available elsewhere (other than online)?

Haven't seen em in any of the walmarts I visited. I don't feel like paying shipping costs for a bottle of this stuff though. Any Houstonians know of a place?

I just got a black '03 miata that has some pretty deep swirl marks caused by the dealership. I don't have a pc just yet, something I plan to save up for after xmas, but I want to get rid of these swirls now if possible. The car has been clayed and is smooth, but I tried using only the Meg...

info Lexan SLX is painted plastic, aimed as a replacement for traditional painted car parts. sorry if this is a repost, i searched for lexan and didnt come up with this stuff. edit: should be ok now

I found a couple tools in the garage.

First off I'd like to say that a couple days of reading on this forum has taught me a lot. Already you have got me spending more money on car detailing. Anyways, this is my dad's jeep I wanna detail here. It's a '99 Grand Cherokee in dark green. I've zaino'd the car a few times, but it...
