I live in the valley (Chandler) and went a couple of years ago - on a Sunday, I think. My experience is similar to BudgetPlan1. I'm a technician at a local car dealership where I got free tickets for my daughter and me, so I didn't have anything but the 30 minute drive invested in the event...

I like this wax. I first applied it to my car in March shortly after I received it. I hadn't had time to do any maintenance washes until 5 weeks later and the beading and sheeting was still very good. Nevertheless, I applied another coat just because it's to easy to work with and I love the...

I bought the sample size Fuzion about a year ago because I was curious if it was as good as everyone says. I think it is. I almost bought to full sized tin (in the box) when it was on sale 40% off a few months ago but I just couldn't do it...yet. :D

I've used the term "detail therapy" when I need go back to my happy place.

Your paint looks great! I really love seeing older vehicles that are well taken care of - my cars are older too.

Oh my. That looks fantastic!

I was thinking about this topic as I was applying my recently purchased jar of Fuzion wax to my wife's car yesterday. She doesn't ask how much these things cost and I don't volunteer the information. If it ever comes up, I need only to remind her how much see enjoys her shiny car. She knows...

I am a detail hobbyist and have been almost since I started driving (back in the '80's) but only in the past 3 years or so have I actually realized what detailing actually entails. As a teenager, I could happily spend the day in the garage with my car washing, polishing, waxing and generally...

I had a '50 shrinking hose (I have no idea the brand) for a while. I really liked using it (didn't kink, easy to store) but dragging it around my cement driveway wore a hole in it in less than a year of use exclusively as a car wash hose. Now I have a regular hose that I don't like as much but...

This is in my wheelhouse. I drive a Mini Cooper with white painted wheels. The OEM brake pads dusted my wheels like crazy so I began searching for options (besides cleaning). I decided to try low dusting brake pads and found Hawk HPS brake pads. I am very pleased with their braking feel and...

Wow! Lots of good information here. I believe those links Mike provided are the threads I found when I was trying to figure out what was going with the paint staining. The pad cleaner I use now came in a kit I bought when I was starting to get more serious in this hobby. It does foam a lot...

I am a hobbyist working on my technique and acquiring products. After getting some confidence in polishing when I polished the haze off my headlights - I was quite proud of the results, I decided to try polishing paint. As I am responsible for 3 cars in my garage, 1 of which belongs to my...

I'm trying to progress to color codes on my MF towels but for now, all I've got is my towels that touch paint separate from all the other towels.

I ordered Wolfgang Fuzion wax I've been thinking about purchasing for last several months. The Black Friday sale and free shipping made me pull the trigger finally. Since I live in Arizona, I won't see the product until a week from Monday though. The comment about being easier to purchase...
