Will this combo work? I'm applying my LSP to my Saturn tomorrow, and I was thinking about putting a coat of NXT on first (possibly this afternoon) and then apply my Carnauba tomorrow afternoon? I don't waste one or the other because it doesn't bond good, so I thought I'd ask. Thanks!

I'm going to borrow my neighbors Makita rotary this weekend to polish up my new daily driver, a 1992 Saturn SL1. It's got some scratches I know won't come out, but I figured what the heck, I'll give it a shot. This will be my frist time using a rotary for a full detail, I've only practiced on a...

Well, I'm finally taking the plunge really soon and I'm going to make my Poorboys order, along with a few products from Premiumautocare.com Here's what I plan on ordering: Poorboys: PwC EX & EX-P Natty's Blue SSR 2.5 & 1 Professional Polish Trim Restorer Natural Look Dressing Bold N Bright...

My bro-in-law had a bottle of this stuff laying around, thought I'd give it a try. For an OTS product you can get almost anywhere I was fairly impressed. Actually, I don't even know if they make it anymore! :lmfao It's in a black bottle, and the product is a white cream. You apply it onto a...

Well, as long as I decide to take it! It's a detailing job at a semi-local auto body shop. Commute is about 35-45 min without raffic, and I would start work around 8, so I would hopefully miss the traffic! It's a 40 hour a week job, but I think it's going to be well worth it providing I can get...

I was just thinking about buying a couple new ones when I go to stock up on supplies sometime this week, and I was wondering how long you guys use yours for? I've been using my sheepskin mitt for paint for about 6 months now, and a chenielle (sp) for the wheels for about 2 months. How long...

A while back I made a thread asking about tire shines for larger truck/Ssuv tires, and JaredPointer told me to check out the Teflon Tire shine. Would this be the one made by Dupont, and if so, can I find it anywhere local? there's a paint store downtown that carries all sorts of Dupont...

Was stopped in traffic downtown today, and happened to be right in front of a local "hand wash" car wash place, and had a minute to watch them. There was a guy drying off a brand new black Denali with those red shop rags you can find at Costco and other places like that, another guy was cleaning...

Hey guys, It's time for another full detail on my sister's 99 Dodge Ram. I first joined this site for advice on what to do, and I got the results I wanted, but I know I can do even better. It will all be done by hand, so bare with me here, lol... Here's my process from the first time: Wash...

I always find myself listening to music when I'm doing a detail or just washing a car. It helps me work longer without thinking "Jeez this is taking a while" and I'm also more meticulous about things :lol I started wondering how many of you here at DC listen to music while you're working, and if...

Found some of this stuff up on the shelf in the garage, I know it's only been there for a few years so it's still good...Or so I thought... I tried a little bit on an old fender I've got from my car and it didn't do much at all. I even tried it on one of the areas I haven't waxed yet and saw NO...

Is Kragens! I ran out of it today, and I liked it, so I bought another! Kragens had the 64 oz. bottle for $7.99! I couldn't believe it! I paid almost $10 for the small bottle at a local performance parts store, rediculous! I think I might stock up in case they raise the price :D

Hey there guys, another question as always :D My sisters Ram has Toyo Open Country A/T 265/75/R15's all the way around, and they are NOT the easiest tires to care for. A good scrubbing with a degreaser or a wheel cleaner gets the dirt off and leaves the white letters nice and clean, but...

Well, in my neighborhood and with friends it does :D I applied a topper to my neighbors 03 325i two weeks ago, and now another neighbor wants me to detail his wifes Taurus tomorrow! Coincidentally, she asked me if I would detail her car, and on top of that, detail her husbands Ranger has a...

Well, I planned on giving our 2000 Chevy a complete detail today, and finishing it off tomorrow afternoon/evening, but it rained here today! And it's supposed to rain off and on throughout the week! This sucks! Anyone else have this problem :angry

Bought some of this yesterday, and I'm pretty happy with it. Doesn't take much to fill the bucket with suds, and it worked the grime off of the paint with little to no effort. One thing I noticed is that it's a really thick soap...Like syrup...Any idea what makes it this way?

Hello all, I detailed my fathers 03 Sonic Blue Victory Vegas yesterday, and applied the final carnauba coats today. The results are astonishing! Sorry, no pics at the moment, but I will try for some this weekend or next week. Process: Wash: Meguiars Gold Class soap Mothers Clay (Meg's/Water as...

Well, I went to a local detailing store and picked up a product to remove swirls, and picked up some more Klasse AIO while I was down there, and I had a short talk with the guy about the condition of thr truck I'll be detailing. It's not horrible, but it needs some TLC. He mentioned the product...

Hey guys, just a quick question. I was wondering, would a 2400 PSI pressure washer be o.k to use to try to get the dirt stains out of tires, after a good degreasing/scrubbing? My sisters Toyo Open Country A/T's are pretty stained, and I was thinking this might clean them right up! I imagine...

Ok, going to help detail a friends Grand Cherokee tomorrow, and I was in need of supplies, so I stocked up a bit today! 4 new MF Towels Waffle Weave MF Mothers Gold Series soap 2 new applicator sponges Black Magic Tire/Trim Gel Q-Tips :) 2 bottles invisible glass New wool wash mit and a new...
