My first trimester is done! Decided to prep the car for a meet tomorrow. No pics, as it was raining and dark as heck. QEW Wash - Weird! Seems like the QEW solution streaks and contains the dirt. I definitely need to try this on a different car. I've found you can use QD for the drying passes...

This is not Spam! (Or I hope it doesn't come across as Spam) http://slickdeals.net/#p5335 Somehow Dell has a coupon that if you spend $1500 or more on a Dell Inspiron Laptop, you get $750 off! Nice deal if your looking at laptops. Deal seems to have worked out if you check the forum on the...

General Info Hey All! Its great not to have school today. Got to detail for a family a second time. Used Adam’s products and I’m pretty happy. 3 Hour Detail from start to finish! Read on for process etc. Vehicle 2002 Red (Turbo?) S Beetle that had a Valentine 1 and was manual. Great car to...

Hey DC! My first paid detail today and I was dang lucky. My friend got interested in my detailing hobby and asked her Dad who wanted a detail for their MCoupe, Red Beatle, K2 BMW Bike, and Black SUV. Today was very cool (thank goodness for Autumn weather) and there was plenty of shade all...

I have been looking for some goods light to luminate when I detail. I've been getting quite a few white cars and boy is it hard to see. I do have a 500w Lamp now, but the bulb is dead and I have no clue how much it is to replace. I'm going with these 2 choices...

I saw Dwayne has P21S Total Auto Wash on sale and I read a review that it is very safe and somewhat cleans well. I was thinking of getting an OXO wash brush for those VERY dirty / grimmy areas that can't be cleaned but normal car mitt techniques. These areas have dirts that just too built up for...

After spending a LOAD of money on new products (there goes my 150 dollar / only hand polishing limit) I thought I would do some reviews on products after I've done a few details: Adam's Clay bar - Big Big Big! You can bend this clay bar in half and it still holds (elastic). Grabs better than...

Lucky enough today to have a great DC meet with some members (zymolkk / groebuck). I think Groe might have the most products out of all of us. But we are all PB crazy thats for sure! Victim: Green 1994 Mustang that has endured through 10 years of beatdown: Canadian Winters, NC sun, Mothers...

Decided to clean some of my applicators. I started with my yellow apps from my XMAS Detail where I thought the SSR application was like waxing (wayyy to much product and not breaking down at all). As you can see SSr1 and 2 are still stained after I did a rinse, tide wash in warm/cold water by...

How many MF do you own and what intervals do you clean them? I run 17 at the moment and I can't seem to have any spare! Thanks to S&W :lmfao Now I'm thinking of buying more and setting some MF aside to the rim and interior.

Long time since I have started a thread but here is my problem: Weather is warm but POLLEN CITY (I've never seen so much grab my car everyday even if I use my CCD). I offered to clean a black Honda Accord for my friend since she wanted it clean and was willing to send it through a carwash...

:wait After hearing yesterday there would be a car show in NC (Korman Autoworks for any BMW peeps here) I decided to quickly detail despite not having my EX-P (Which I can wait for since i have a whole load of other stuff waiting). I picked up a Mothers Clay bar kit to try it out. The yellow...

Just making sure I'm clear on ProPolish: I do know its a polish that cleans the surface, but does it have abrasives? Will it cut ANY? Or is it just to clean and contaminants from the surface? Can you use it for trims to clean? Does it have Carnauba? If so, why? Maybe I'm having a brain...

What rotary / PC / Cyclo do you use? What is your setup? What kinda pads and backplate + counterweight do u use? Are they velcro? where did u get em from? Just wondering what everyone runs. would be cool to hear what sizes or setups ppl use. thanks!:bounce

What is the complete definition of haze? my understanding it is when ur polish / wax becomes very dry and sand-like after bonding / drying. i believe u do need this stage when u use a PC/orbital but by hand u usually want the solution be wet and NEVER haze. why do ppl add QD or...

Well its time to detail! no school + moderate cool = fun in the sun (hopefully) Here is my order: 1) Wash - Rinse with free water flowing from hose (how do you stop the flow? i usually jam my spray head on) 2 bucket method. 1 bucket with hot water + dawn to rinse sponge occasionally. 1...
