I'm looking for someone in the Atlanta area who can recondition/redye the leather seats in an Audi I just purchased. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I just bought a ten-year old VW with black paint in average condition, meaning plenty of swirls and marring. I'm planning to start with M105/LC orange pad using my Flex 3401, which is the heaviest cut combo I own. Will this be enough to fully correct hard VW clearcoat?

My daily driver is a 1996 black BMW with over 220k miles that stays outside 24/7. The car is generally in very good condition, but the paint/clear coat is showing its age and I don't feel comfortable polishing any further. Ultimately it will need to be repainted, but that will have to wait a...

About 3 months ago I purchased one of my dream cars…this 1993 BMW M5. I searched for a long time and finally found the right car for me. I bought the car in very good original condition with only 90k miles, but it definitely needed some major detail work to be up to my standards. I’ve spent...

The door jambs on my car are filthy (pics below) and really ruin the look of an otherwise clean car. I always wipe down the outer edges after a wash, but the inner part around the hinges will require more than that. What should I use to thoroughly clean them? Should I be concerned about...

My car's interior has always had a weird odor to me. The best I can describe it is an old/stale smell. Its not really a bad smell and nobody that rides in my car notices it, but it bothers me. I was wondering if anybody has experience with the Clean Air Fogger that Autogeek sells...

My dad just purchased this Anthracite Metallic 2001 BMW 540iT, we picked it up in NY last weekend. The car was in pretty good shape for its age, but definitely needed a detail. The exterior took about 8 hours with both of us working. The interior was worked on during this past week, probably...

Just realized I've been a member here for 3 years and only have 25 posts. I really should post more! Well here are a few details I thought I'd share... 1990 240 with 190k miles and all original single stage paint. The owner purchased this car back in 2001, it has not been detailed since...

2003 Volvo V70 with 60k miles. It was in ok condition for its age, some swirls but mostly waterspots to deal with. This will hopefully be my last all PC detail, I'm moving up to a rotary! Process: Wash 1Z PP 1Z MP Collinite 845 303 on trim Stoner tire shine Before Afters...

These are all some details from a few months ago and I thought they were worth posting. Same basic process was followed for them all: -Thorough wash -Dry with Pakshak WW -1Z Paint Polish with PC -1Z Metallic Polish with PC -Collinite #845 wax -Stoner tire shine Interior -Blow...

I thought this SUV was pretty trashed for only 30k miles (owner didn't think it was that bad!). When I saw the interior, I knew it would be a long day. The exterior was mainly just really dirty, but minimal swirls since it rarely gets a wash. All in all, I think it cleaned up very nice...

I detailed this 97 Volvo S90 with 170k miles a few weeks ago and decided to post it. Overall the car wasn’t too bad for the mileage. The paint was in fair condition with some moderate swirling throughout. The interior was almost mint to start, but the leather front seats definitely needed...

Hey guys, I’ve been detailing for a couple years but this is the first one I have posted. It’s a 97 Volvo S90 in pretty rough shape (needless to say!). It took a bit of effort but came out nice in the end I think. Process: -1Z Paint Polish -1Z Metallic Polish -Collinite #845...

I have had no luck removing the water spots on the top surfaces of my car with polishing. I want to try the distilled white vinegar method and have a few questions: - Should I use full strength or dilute the vinegar? - Will this remove wax and is it harmful to the paint? - Do I use an...

Hello All, I have been reading Autopia for a while now but this is my first post. In a few weeks I will be getting the Sonus PC 7424 kit from Autopia to use on my Volvo 850. The paint is really not too bad. I just have some fairly light swirl / scratch marks that are visible in the sun that...
