After the chemical decontamination was complete, the clay bar got its turn at removing the remaining contamination. While brake dust constitutes the largest percentage of contamination buildup on almost every car, there are still other forms of environmental and industrial contamination. Whether...

This Mocha Steel Metallic CADILLAC CTS received its first detail in its four years and 40,000-miles of driving. The paint had accumulated a lot of rust blooms and road tar over the course of its lifespan. Even before washing the paint, it was clear that a healthy application of CarPro IronX and...

It’s an honor to be a member of Autogeek. I’d love to make it down to Florida for Autogeek Detailing Fest one year and meet everyone in person. I like the part about you using a 1973 Lincoln Continental for your demonstration to restore single stage paint. When detailing a heavily soiled Toyota...

You’re welcome. I hope my post encourages more people to join Autogeek and possibly venture into being a small business owner. Thank you for reading. I am glad that you enjoyed the videos as well. Thanks for the compliment. I’ve spent quite a bit of time over the past few years honing my...

Car Detailing Enlightenment If you’re like me, your passion for all things automotive started at an early age. Long before getting a driver’s license or owning my first vehicle, I was intrigued by every aspect of cars. Whenever I thought about purchasing a new car, I spent numerous hours...

Whenever I get the opportunity to perform a paint correction much less a paint coating detail, it’s hard not to get excited. There is nothing that can beat the shine of freshly polished paint that has been freshly topped with a coating. We had quite the winter in Vermont this year and after...

I have been using CarPro IronX for almost three years now and it has always been my go-to embedded brake and rail dust remover. I recently finished my last gallon of original IronX and had the pleasure of trying Lemon IronX for the first time. When Lemon IronX was first introduced, I must...

It is awesome to see how many people use WeatherTech FloorLiners.

I will certainly clean my WeatherTech FloorLiners on a more regular basis now that the product review is complete. I dread the salt stained carpets that I see every year once springtime arrives.

I have had WeatherTech FloorLiners installed in my Subaru Outback 2.5XT since November and haven’t cleaned them once. I am conscious about the amount of salt and snow that I track into my Subaru’s interior during wintertime. The WeatherTech FloorLiners can hold over two liters of liquid...

I find that having a steam cleaner makes cleaning door jambs a whole lot more enjoyable. Two fill ups isn't too bad for an interior detail.

Opti-Glass is far more resistant to wiper abrasion than Opti-Coat is. I would use Opti-Lens for the headlights since it's specifically formulated for plastics. Thank you very much. Thank you for the compliment Thank you for your continued support. I really enjoy filming and editing...

You're welcome.

A steam cleaner does a decent job at cleaning carpets and can certainly remove tough stains. However when a vehicle's cloth upholstery and carpet is packed with dirt and debris a steam cleaner isn't going to cut it. Sometimes you need the extra water flow that a hot water extractor offers to...

I think that a pair of Hanz Sealskinz gloves would work well for you. The gloves have a long elastic cuff that fits snugly on your wrist/forearm. The extended cuff helps keep water out of the glove while trapping heat in.
