    Carpet and Seat Cleaning

    As an amateur detailer I could use some help with interior carpet and seat cleaning. I tried to use a corded drill with a yellow chemical guys drill brush on my Scions passenger seat and it seemed to ruin the fibers in a way and made the seat feel harder, so I am trying to avoid that in my...

    How to remove paint transferred from fender bender

    Actually if you go on you tube and look up ChrisFix Paint Transfer he has a really cool shorter video on how to quickly remove minor paint transfer. It is nothing to time consuming either, and might be educational to your nephew. He takes some white paint off his pristine red Corvette.

    When to use AIO

    How can you tell if what you are dealing with can be beat out by a AIO instead of having to do a fully separate compound and polish? I have a 12 year old Scion that has never been cared for properly and plan to use Meg UC at first and finish it off with Chem Guys All in One polish and sealant...

    2001 Carerra 4 Goes from Meh to WOW!

    So you used it as your polish and it was enough to break down the scratches from the UC? That would be a great solution for my beater so I dont have to use the expensive stuff lol. Great restoration, that probably brought the sale value up a lot.

    2009 Prius

    Lol no no not at all, call it what it is, not what I thought it was. I just knew it had a lot of electricity running to it, and that was what people used to scare me into not attempting a clean. Kinda silly though if you look at it and realize that sucker is closed up tight.

    2009 Prius

    I feel you, the first time I did it I kinda just got sick and tired of looking at the dirt. I basically had to take the same plunge because a majority of people said not to do it, but there were a few that said they had done it and I followed their advice, which I pass on now. The one time I got...

    2009 Prius

    The red circle is the 400V battery that I am talking about and it controls things like the electric steering, all the many electrical doo dads, and it helps your car know when to shut off the engine when you are in traffic. It is completely in the silver case and it protected so that if you do...

    2009 Prius

    Yes and no There is like a 400V battery in your engine bay and a lot more electrical components than you are used to. I had a 2005 Prius and I only ever detailed the engine bay twice due to fear of messing something up. It is a slight chance, but Prius's are not cheap to fix if you mess the...

    Wheel cleaner?

    Do you know the difference by sight, or would you have to ask the owner? My biggest fear would be that the owner has no idea lol.

    Wheel cleaner?

    Do you guys, especially those that clean all kinds of cars, use different wheel cleaners designed for specific wheels, or do you use just one that is safe for all wheels. I am a huge fan of CG Diablo Wheel Gel, which I know is safe for all wheels and tires, so is there any benefit to using the...
