Wow!!! This day straight up rocked! 6:30...off with work as usual. Then my wife called me in the afternoon to say that 2 boxes had arrived...the detailing stuff I ordered from a few DC sponsors. Yippee...I was anxiously awaiting 3:30 so I could head home and rip into the new goodies...

Hey everyone...I just wanted to run something new by you all and get some feedback. I'm lookin' to possibly do a small run of some Dickies-style work shirts to promote my auto-related design side biz. Anyway, this would be the design for the back. I'm not sure if I'll put anything small on...

Okay, so I've been around here for a short time now and have found this site to be extremely helpful for me. I'm learning new things every day and already can see a difference in how well my car is being maintained. It seems that the bulk of the people here use a PC7424 for polishing their...

I'm just curious...are most of you members here professional detailers, or are you just into this as a hobby?

This may be a dumb question, but what exactly does a polish do? I understand that a swirl remover eliminates swirls and a wax seals the paint...correct? It seems to me that if I use a swirl remover on an otherwise nice and shiny paint/finish, the paint/finish would then be glossy and swirl...

Just wondering if there are any nice detailing bags available? Or what do you guys use to store all of your towels, cleaners, etc. in? Meguiars has one, but it looks like it folds out to keep things from moving in the car...I'd like something a little smaller and more portable. Any ideas or...

Maybe some of you do this already, but I wanted to share something with everyone since you all have shared so much with me. When I dry my cars I used to always get the dreaded streaks from water that would always come out of the mirros, trim etc...annoying as heck and it would ruin an otherwise...

I've only been a member here for about a month-ish and I'm already turning into an anal-retentive car-cleaning freak. After washing my car I now wash all of my mits, MF towels, absorbers, etc in the washing machine and then after drying them (with NO fabric softeners) I place each mit and MF...

Okay...now that I've posted my complaining thread on my black Mariner...check out the new hood I just finished for my wfes GT 'stang. This is the Cervinis 'Stalker' hood. My dad helped me out (thanks Dad, couldn't have done it without ya!!) and we block-sanded it all down, primed it...

Okay...I spent two hours the other night washing my new ride and as usual, it looks flawless in the sunlight...but when I bring her into the garage, under the fluorescent light the hood looks pretty bad. First off, here are the good pics. As you can see...she looks great in the sunlight...I...

Since I'm new here, just thought I'd share a little of my most recent artwork. I do automotive related graphic design on the side, specializing in T-shirt artwork and custom paint design among other things. Anyway, here are a few of my latest T-shirt designs... And a cartooned rendering...

I'm new here and already have learned a ton!! I've heard over the years people speak of claybars, but I figured there was something to it...not easy to use...troublesome...whatever. But this place has better informed me so I went and picked up a Mothers Claybar and let me just say...WOW...

Okay, can someone please advise me on which of these I should buy. My father currently has this DeWalt Buffer/Polisher and we use it for buffing out fresh paintjobs after wet-sanding. It works great and seems to be perfect for what we do. I've been wanting to buy one for myself to use not...

When applying wax by hand, how much pressure should you apply to the applicator? Do you want to press really hard as you rub, or just apply light pressure? Just curious as to what will render the best results or if it really matters. Thanks!

Help! I just got a brand new 2006 Mercury Mariner...and it's black. I'm a total car fanatic and always take pretty good care of my cars...however, I've never owned a black vehicle before and this one has me angry and wishing I'd have never bought it. I've owned it for about 4 weeks now and it...
