I hope this is the right forum. I posted pics in another thread in the University where I was asking for tips on the best shine for the detail, but figured I'd bring it here too so others could check it out. I had a photo shoot with 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords magazine this past weekend and...

Hey guys, This weekend I've got a magazine shoot with a top Mustang magazine, and I want the car to look better than ever. So far I have washed (Megs gel), clayed (Megs mild), and swirl removed (3M mild abrasive - which works well on my cutting pad for the DA). Next is where I'm...

I am in need of more clay for doing clay bar jobs, and still have tons of lubricant/QD spray. Is there a place to get ONLY clay? Can I get some from a crafts supplies store or is it different? Many thanks :)

I haven't been around much lately, mostly because I'm afraid if I come here too much I will never leave to go to work - LOL! Anyway, I thought I'd drop by to say hello to my old friends if they're still here, check out some product reviews, and show off a few pics! I've got a few big shows...

I have amassed a few products over the past couple years and I'm completely stumped as to which I should put "on the shelf" and which I should keep in my detailin' container. I detailed the paint this week and it came out great, however I'm wanting to know if some of my unused products are...

Hey all, this is my first time posting pics here. I've learned quite a bit and finally got around to taking nice pics that show the detail. My process: 1. wash w/dish 2. Claybar / wash w/Meguiars car wash 3. Klasse AIO (paint cleaner/prep) via DA buffer 4. 3M Swirl...

I have a few bad swirls on my car in a few spots, and got some 3M SR for dark colored cars. Mine is red. I used it on my PC DA, and it doesn't seem to be doing much. Instructions say to use medium pressure, use light pressure as it starts drying, and then polish off. I do that and it seems...

I broke out my PC DA buffer today for the first time and put an AIO coat on the wing of my car. I'm not sure if I did it right, I barely see a difference. Before/after pics: I went over the wing about 3 minutes total with the buffer, should I have gone longer? I didn't want to...

Deep Cleaning Leather It’s time I do something about my stock leather back seat in my Mustang. I’ve been keeping it quite clean but it’s still soiled and dirty to my standards (and everyone else’s here, I’m sure). It doesn’t look bad but it’s definitely not Autopia Member...

I hope this is the right forum for sharing pics. I'm really green to these forums and there seems to be a few forums that this topic would fit into. If I'm mistaken, feel free to close/move this thread - I wasn't sure! :) I am late in posting these, but the shine I created still looks...

A little predicament here, fellas! I just finished detailing the car. From claying to wax and everything in between, I've got the car looking sweeter than it ever has. I'm happy about that! The thing is, Saturday I have to bring the car to a shop to get aligned before I am able to bring it...

Hey all, just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Dave and I've got a '92 Mustang GT convertible that I take around to Mustang shows and have as a weekend driver and 'nice day ride'. Age 21 and from Massachusetts, I'm new to detailing but already learned valuable info from...

I just read in one of the great articles that a good show trick is to lay a layer or carnauba wax over a synthetic. I have a bottle of "Meguiar's Gold Class Clear Coat Car Wax" (liquid) left over from last year, and was wondering if that is synthetic or not. I'm not at home right now so I can't...

I'm new here, so hello!! I've been reading around the site and it's incredible. I don't know much about detailing yet, but I hope to learn. gimme some time :p Anyway, I am prepping my car for an upcoming show right now and am wondering what to do. This is my first time trying to get very...
