Is this a good option if I'm looking to hide some minor swirls before winter? I planned on applying the Meg's liquid wax first followed by the PB Blue Paste Wax. Unfortunately I don't have a full 8 hours (or even a machine buffer for that matter), so I'm looking for the next best option for...

I use the term neglect loosely, but compared to most enthusiasts on here, this is exactly what I did. I won't bore you with the whole story of why, but in sum, I got a job a year ago that had me working close to a 70 hour work week. With that said, I've washed my car maybe once/month and...

Being that not everyone has the luxury of having a garage to wash their car in (during the winter months), what's the general take on these? Personally, I prefer it to bringing it to a hand wash...as the mere sight of the rags they use there makes me cringe. Even the places that have fresh...

I'm going to use Wolfgang finish glaze followed by Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. I know I don't need to tape for the Sealant, but do I need to since I'm using a Glaze first?

I've read the reviews and it seems like everyone who has used it likes it. I only used it for 3-4 washes at the end of last summer and I was pleased. I guess the reason I'm asking is...you still see people talking about different car wash soaps, ways of drying (leaf blower, etc.)...

Here's my dilemma: I finally have my own garage. It's 22*20, but not very well insulated at all. The ceiling is also not drywalled with the height being around 18 feet to the top. I'm trying to take cost into affect, but for some reason it seems like bringing it to a wash once every two...

I literally used my PC 7424 one time for 20 minutes. After that, I decided it's not for me. For sale: 1 PC 7424 (with yellow backing plate) 2 Blue pads (6.5") 2 Black pads (6.5") 2 Orange pads (6.5") 1 White pad (6.5") 4 Microfiber bonnets All of the pads are in their original...

Do you wash one car followed by the other? Or do you wash them at the same time? (Top of car 1, top of car 2, hood of car 1,hood of car 2) And if you DO wash them one car followed by the other, how do you use the same wash mitts and just rinse them after wash # 1? Or do you use a 2nd set...

The only knock I've heard on these is that they remove the wax quicker due to the high pressure. If this is true, how much quicker? Aside from that, it seems like this is the perfect option in the winter. I go to Chicagoland Wash near Dempster and Milwaukee in the NW burbs (for Chicagoans)...

It seems as if a lot of people on here insist on washing the car yourself, no matter what the temperature. Somehow, I don't believe these people live in cities where the temperature goes below 0 with the windchill (and even without the windchill). I know hand car washes are dangerous. I see...

I'm not lazy or not thorough, as I wash my car 1-2x/week the way most people do on this forum (two bucket system, four different wash mitts(two for the top of the car, two for the bottom), waffle weave dry, etc.). But I live in Chicago. And honestly, it's just too darn cold. Once it drops...

I've been searching but can't find it. I think it was a PDF, but I don't remember. Either way, it was very informative, and pretty darn long. I'd appreciate it. I'm going to give this thing another go before it gets cold, as last time it was disastrous for me.

So I took my day off of work. I washed the car, clayed it, and was ready to polish and seal it. I took out my PC and tried to emulate the autogeek videos on youtube since I am a ROOKIE and this was my first time using it. I just could not get the hang of this thing. I spread the polish...

50? 40? 30? I'm just wondering when everyone brings their things inside. I've heard that soaps, etc. can go "bad" if you leave them out when it's too cold.

What is the definition of "trim" on a car that needs to be taped?

So I thought I had all the tools for my first detail tomorrow, then I thought, what am I going to buff the wax off with? Sure, I have my microfiber bonnet, but what goes under it? Am I stuck? Do I need to get the lambswool pad to go underneath it? Or is there some other way?

Dumb question I'm sure, but isn't the back bumper just fiberglass? Do you still polish/wax that?

Two years ago, I had a beater car and had never been on this board. 13 months ago, I bought a Black Dodge Charger. 9 months ago, I started reading this board. Point blank, I got the bug. I just spent $450 3 weeks ago on all my supplies for the detail. 2007 Brilliant Black Charger - Minor...

So I planned on detailing my car both days this weekend. Both days it was supposed to be cloudy...and both days (of course) turned out to be sunny. If it was a regular was, I could work quick. However, this was going to be my full detail. I'll be washing-claying-scratch remover with PC-Polish...

First of all, what size tape do you recommend? I bought the 1" tape but it looks like it might be too small. Also, on my Charger, between the doors there is a "plastic" material (not sure if it's exactly plastic). Does that need to be taped or is it treated also?
