Working on a 2005 Porsche Carerra basalt black bumper. It has some kind of scratch that was filled with flat black paint, then touched up with metallic paint. It's the size of a thumbprint but annoying. Looks like a scratch that has been touched up by a paintbrush. What is the best way to...

Have a Porsche that is in good shape. No interior cleaning needed. The body is almost swirl free, but need advice and service for possible wet sanding or touchup polishing. An easy job, but pictures, references and thorough knowledge of exotic cars a must. Location is near Diamond Bar...

Hey folks, looking for a new or used paint thickness gauge. If any of you pro's have a recommendation for an accurate gauge that won't cost a fortune or maybe have one you'd like to sell, please let me know. Looks like the clear is just about worn on one of my fenders and starting to show the...

Looking for a professional opinion. Working on a Porsche 911 carrera and the hood has a quarter sized imperfection right in the middle of the hood. Appears to be some spider-webbing under the clear coat. Not sure what exactly the paint has, but is this a problem with the clear coat or did...

A friend of mine picked up a 2005 black Jeep. Overall condition is excellent but of course it's a swirl monster. This will take some time bringing it back to original paint condition. The hood is covered with small "spotted" white dots if you go up to the car and look from 3 feet away. Not...

Tired of dragging out the monster shop vac to soak up the suds after a hand scrubbing to the carpet? No need for that after you pick up one of the fun $100 carpet extractors! It's not really a $600 commercial extractor, but a wonderful addition to your arsenal of cleaning gear. For less than...

What do you guys use for bright detailing lights? Seen a number of posts with bright square lighting that does a great job of showing the paint progress on a detail. Where can you get some? thanks.

25 Pack Eurow Microfiber Towels $22 Only 2 Left! Stumbled on this from ebay and bought a package. They are a package of 25 yellow 16 X16 microfiber towels for $22 bucks LOL. That's the good news. The not so good news is, by the time you read this post they may be gone! :LOLOL Just sharing...

With all the sealants and waxes out there its a bit overwhelming at times. Like to detail black vehicles and enjoy Souverign wax. The application is a breeze and so is removal. The downside is, it sure doesn't last long. A few weeks then its gone with moderate washing. Like to try a sealant, but...

Wanted to share some amazing results with the community. Had a 5 year old vehicle with brake dust and road grime so bad, no wheel cleaner could penetrate the brake dust to get to the chrome. Short of purchasing a Mother's 3" powerball and Mother's metal polish, decided to try something. Picked...

How does Black Wow, Black Again and Forever Black compare? Are these products worth the purchase? Would you prefer to use one of these products or some other more temporary trim application?

What's the best way to remove old wax in the roofline gutters? Have some old and caked on wax in the gutters that even a tooth brush can't reach that well. Just wondering what you guys like to use to strip/wipe wax in crevices. Thanks.

Just wondering what you guys use to polish plastic headlight covers or tail lights. What's the recommended process? Thanks,

Was going to buy a few bottles of OCW as a number of senior detailers here in the forums like to use it. A little skeptical about what the shine and depth of the product will look like after application. Guess the trade off is for hours of labor with the orbital versus a spritz here and there...

Have a car that has extreme break dust and is chromed out. Tried eagle 1 with brushes and while it shined the wheels up nicely, there is caked on brake dust around the rim that is very stubborn. What can I use to finally remove all the dust (spotted) and give the wheel the shine it deserves...

Any reason you couldn't use a $5, 40 LB bag of water softener salt to soften water? This may sound silly, but all those $100+ contraptions with "rezin cartridges" have some form of water softener salt, so why not get an empty $20 cartridge and fill it yourself forever with a $5 bag of salt...

How safe is a waterless car wash? Seems that you would spend more money on chemicals and not be as safe and risk scratching the paint.
