The other day my father left me a copy of a magazine called Practical sailor. It's a magazine aimed at evaulating sailboats and various equipment for sailboats. The magazine is pretty well known for being honest and unbiased, since they do not accept *any* advertising at all...it costs about...

Finally get to post some showoff pics. Phtography is not as good as I would like (going from film SLR to digital point and shoot is tough!), but it's good enough. I finally learned the value of using a lighter polish instead of relying on DACP's diminishing abrasive...Menzerna FP is some...

There's a guy at my office who just bought a new truck (grey dodge dakota). He wants to keep it in good shape, but he's not a detailing guy. I'm having trouble deciding what to tell him to get. Longevity, cost, and ease of aplication are important concerns. I was originally going to...

Sigh. I got hit this morning and the person took off. Wonderful. So there's enough stuff wrong with my car at this point that I'm thinking of just getting the damn thing repainted. I can't afford it, but what the hell..that's never stopped me from getting body work before. I figure...

Just thought I would post a couple of thoughts. I spent a lot of hours last weekend doing my car, and continued this weekend with more hours. I did some stuff for the first time so I figured I'd post my thoughts. Here's the process... -Wash (no dawn) -Clay (first time, pinnacle clay and...

Has anyone used any products by a company called Auto-Tech? The Auto-Body supply place I buy detailing stuff from sometimes has been hyping these products to me for a while. The guys there have given me good advice on stuff in the past, so I am thinking of giving some of their products a shot...

I was searching around and didn't see any threads specifically addressing this...if I missed one I'd appreciate a link... Last summer I used my mom's bissel carpet extractor to shampoo my carpets. Unfortunately it is partially broken (making it a pain to use) and completely buried under junk...

I found that "tips" thread and someone recommended putting a little liquid wax in with your wash. How many people do this and what wax do you use? It doesn't seem worth using good wax, and I DO have some old Zymol liquid cleaner wax, but I figure I'll judge how insane I go wtih this with how...

So when I went on Maxima.org for the first time I saw a lot of misinfo about detailing, and a LOT of people using clay. One of my primary sources of detailing info had the following article, which I have always agreed with (I have found this guys info to be very reliable)...

Hi there. Well, it's nice to finally find a forum in which people actually have real experience with detailing! It's frustrating to read the forums at maxima.org (I own a Dark Green Max) and see the huge amount of misinfo that goes back and forth. Finally a place where I can actually ask some...
