    Looking for a pro detailer in Central california (modesto, turlock, merced).

    I have an electric blue 2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4 that I would like to have detailed (exterior only). The paint is in pretty good condition, but I like to have it perfect. :D There are just the normal spiderweb scratches/swirls all around. I'm looking for someone in the central california area...

    Just ONE question before I start the detail!!!

    I am going to be doing everything by hand (no machines). I'm going to wash, clay, polish, and then wax. For the polish I currently have megs #9 with has a cutting power of 3 I believe (out of 10). My question is, since I'm doing everything by hand and I have a lot of swirls/scratches, should...

    Should I go through one of those automatic car washes?

    Ok, so here's the thing. I usually would NEVER, EVER take my car through an automatic car wash or have anyone else touch my car, but I think I've found one that cant really do much damage. Basically, I'm really busy with school and work right now and my car is really dirty. I don't have...

    Just got done polishing. I'm about to wax, and I have a question.

    I just gone done using about 90% of my energy by polishing by hand (don't have any machines). Although it didn't get all most of the scratches, it still looks better. Now, since I'm tired and I still have to wax, I have a question. When I wax, do I have to apply lots of pressure in swirl...

    Any professional detailers in Central California?

    I live in Merced, california and I'm looking to get my car detailed by a pro. I don't want to take my car to just any detail shop around here because it always seems like they don't really know what they are doing (and don't use the right products). Basically, I don't have the time...

    Enough is enough. I'm tired of all the OTC products that do absolutely nothing!!!!

    I'm tired of all the OTC products that don't do anything. I just used that new nanowax stuff a couple days ago, and today all of it started coming off (and I didn't even wash my car!) and it's coming off in a bad way. My entire car looks like it has little sand pebbles stuck in the paint because...

    I'm worn out. Is it ok to wax at a later time?

    I detailed the entire interior, and washed, clayed, and polished the exterior. I used megs #9 cleaner/polish. If I were to stop right now, will I be able to wash it in a few days and then wax it? If I wax it tonight I will probably pass out because I'm so tired. So if I just stop at...

    I am now polishing. Some questions...

    Sorry for all the threads tonight, but this is my first time doing a complete detail. I am now polishing. I am applying it with an orbital. Can I just remove it by hand with a microfiber towel? And how long do I have to wait until I remove it? Do I wait until it's dry? Same questions...

    After claying, do I have to wash the car again?

    I'm almost done claying, and I was wondering if I have to wash the entire car again? There is some clay residue and lube left, but cant I just take a wet microfiber towel and go over the whole car?

    Tips for claying faster? How long does it take you to clay bar?

    The thing that always takes me the longest is claying my car. I just don't understand how some people claim to be done with it in 20 minutes. Is there something I'm missing? You spray the detail spray and then move the clay bar back and forth until it feels smooth right? How would you get...

    I got the day off of work tomorrow so I've decided I want to detail tomorrow, so that means I'm going to buy OTC stuff, since I don't want to wait for stuff from online orders. Is this a good wax to get in store...

    Hey guys, I own a 2000 celica gt-s 6 speed. It's carbon blue in color (very dark blue, looks black at night), and I want to detail it the right way. In the past I've used OTC products, and I found from experience and from others, that these products are very cheap and a waste of money...
