    Engine Cleaning

    After washing use Chemical Guys Fade 2 Black on all the hoses and rubber. It's a spray and it isn't greasy like alot of protectants. Wipes right off. Fast and effective.

    camaro detailing...

    When I cleaned my stepdad's Expedition he gave me turtle wax ice paste to use on it. He told me to put it on trim and everything. I was hesistant because every other wax I've ever used turned the rough texture plastics white. He told me he did it before and it worked, so I did it and it...

    Where to drive fast

    Best bet is your local dragstrip. There you can go as fast as you want and don't have to worry about a ticket! A few years back my friend got busted street racing against my car (a friend of mine was driving, I was drinking). State police "clocked" us at 125 in the 65. He lost his license...

    Headlight Restoration-new UV sealant idea

    Anyone ever try this product the film by xpel? It covers the entire headlight with a plastic film. I know it is kinda expensive, but for a newer car it should save the headlights from the start.

    Just got my order in today. Need some guidance.

    I'm new to the detailing thing also, but I've spent alot of time on here reading what processes people use. You may want to consider getting white or black pads for finishing. From what I've seen on here, most people only use orange pads for prep work because it has light cutting...

    JDM front end conversion

    I love the JDM front ends. Not a fan of later 90's integra front ends.

    Car Wax Gel/Liquid from early 1990's Unkown Brand

    My dad actually has 3 full bottles of this stuff on his shelf! He loves the stuff, I absolutely hate it. In my experience it held up ok, but the shine was far from brilliant. It was also a pain to take off if I remember correctly. (I didn't know about the water method) There are so many...
