I dont post very often but i have a question and need some help. My wife had to bring her 2012 Honda Pilot (black) to the dealer to get something fixed and without asking, they washed the car. Damage wasnt terrible but bad enough where it needs to be polished out. I washed the car with ONR...

I've always wanted to work for myself and the desire is stronger than ever. I'm an IT professional and I enjoy what I do but I work too hard for someone else. Since my employer is the sole source of income rght now, I need to start off by doing jobs on the side and nights. How does one go...

My wife and I are retiling our kitchen floor - about 250 sq/ft. We're removing all the old tile (not too hard), scraping the old mortar off and then will begin laying the new tile. Since time MAY be an issue, we began bidding the tile job out to contractors. Keep in mind this is a labor only...

Here is a quick detail of my WDP TL. I bought the car in October of last year and it was the last 2007 the dealer had on the lot. White was not my first choice in color but the dealer gave me a sweet deal on the car and a great trade for my Accord. Since then, I did nothing to the car except...

A few of us were kicking around the idea of a NY/CT get together in a different thread and I wanted start a new thread to make sure everyone who is in the CT/NY area saw it. We would need to determine when would be a good time/date and how many people would be interested. Since its the NE...

I found this on another forum and I thought I would post for everyone to read. Amazing how irresponsible prople can be.:angry [BEWARE] Carolina Auto Masters (Jeff Creech) - Corvette Forum

Where do people go locally if they need something in a hurry - pads, polishes, etc? Thanks

Okay... First post of one of my cars. The pix suck b/c I used the my Canon PS SD1000 (the Nikon D200 is sleeping :D ). Process: Wash with ONR Wheels - Eagle one Black Magic on tires (my pre-autopian tire stuff - trying to finish it out) Clayed with clay magic Menz IP with orange pad -...

First and foremost, thank for everyone who responded to the following topic: http://autopia.org/forum/car-detailing/102144-i-need-some-help.html Very helpful and informative. :thx I decided to take another crack at using Menz IP on our MBP MDX. Car was in good shape but needed some...

I sent to polish out my moms car this morning. I knew time was limited so it would be a two stage polishing job (do part today and part another time). I dont like doing this but so be it. The car is a black 2002 Acura TL that has been through the car wash more times than I care to know...

Last night I was polishing the rear bumber of our 2003 MDX. Near the tailgate, the bumper is curved (almost forming a valley or a lung U shape) and I found it difficult to come up with a way to polish or reach that area effectivley. I'm using the UDM and 5.5" and 6.5" pads. Has anyone had...

First, I want to thank everyone who posts here. This is one, if not the, most informative places out there for car detailing. :2thumbs: I'm using the following: UDM Sonus SFX-2 on DAS Orange Pad at speed 5-6 Sonus SFX-3 on DAS Blue Pad at speed 3-4 Topped with Zaino Z5 with zfx Now...

Okay... I'm eagerly awaiting my products from Autopia to arrive on wednesday - UDM, DAS pads, SFX 2 and SFX 3 (I also ordered some IP). Here's my question - my first shot with the UDM will be a MBP MDX with very slight swirls. The car has never been to a car wash (the wife begged and pleaded...

I bought some ONR last week and it arrived on Thursday. This moring I decided to wash our midnight blue pearl MDX. With the temps around 20 degrees this morning, I bought the two buckets in the garage, did a quick pre-wash with a rubbermaid spray bottle and then I washed with two mits. Holy...

I dont post often but have been reading a lot. I've searched (this site and others) but I dont think I have found the answer I've been looking for. Over the fast few years (from 2003 to now), I've been using Zaino and have been very happy with it. Knowing that Zaino is a polish do I still...

First and foremost this place is fantastic and the results you guys get are un-real. I have picked up some great tips and I wanted to say thanks to all. I stubled upon the Zaino procucts a few years ago and I love the results I receive. Normally, I wash with Z7, clay (if needed), then...
