My Crown Vic is coated with CQUK, sits outside, and is driven year round; sun and snow. Back in my early detailing days I wanted to make the paint as swirl and scratch free as possible, so I picked up a PC and went to town on it. It came out great; almost showcar, but since it is my daily driver...

Maybe friend isn't the right word, I've known the guy and his wife for years as they are friends with my boss, and he recommended them to me. He also have a red 68 corvette ill be doing work on aswell. If he was some stranger that I didn't know beforehand, then I would have told him to p**s off...

Hey boys and girls, want to get everybody's opinions on this subject. Yesterday I did an AIO detail on a 1969 Camaro Z28 using D151 as that's all his budget would allow unfortunately; took most of the day as I had lots to do like engine interior wheel and chrome polishing etc. I would have loved...

I use the Mytee Firebird steamer; worth every penny!

Hey boys and girls, kinda dumb question and I apologize if this has been brought up before; is it possible to get rubber floor mats clean without having a water source? I do have a Mytee Firebird steamer so my idea would be to use a brush on the mats to knock off as many of the heavy stuff as...

If he had asked me to reclean them then I would have cleaned them again no questions asked, but he didn't, he was just bringing it to my attention is all. What I should have done is what conman1395 said; to always going over every detail with the customer upon completion. For this guy I said I...

Exactly my point, why wait almost a month later before telling me? The car was detailed on April 27th. The car is a DD, his method of washing is a season pass at the swirl-o-matic wash at the gas station. I tried my best to explain what swirls were by showing him them on his car and what causes...

Hey boys and girls, got a weird situation that I would like some opinions on. I did a full interior shampoo and steam clean and exterior wash clay and wax on a customers Mercedes almost a month ago. Today I saw the vehicle again and the owner was telling me that I didn't clean the windows...

I would start with some polish on an applicator and do it by hand, if that doesn't work then try a compound by hand. As far as I know the majority of trim pieces in cars are clearcoated so it can be treated like exterior paint, aside from buffing. I'm not 100% on that though, but doing it by...

The Daytona brush and Wheel Woolies are worth their weight in gold, invest in some :D Cheers Phil

And this is the stripe prior to compounding Cheers Phil

Hey boys and girls I have a serious problem and I need some advice on what to do. When I bough my Crown Vic it came with painted on white pinstripes (over the clearcoat so probably dealer installed). Today I got sick of them as parts of them were fading so I wetsanded them off. I used 3M 2000...

What about using it undiluted on CQUK? Is that too powerful or would the coating be able to handle it? Cheers Phil

Hey boys and girls. Meg's D114 Express Wash was made available to my local market (thnx OldeTownAutoSpa :D) and since my car is coated with CQUK I wanted to use a WATERLESS, not RINSELESS wash on it, so I chose D114 as it doesn't leave any surfactants or polymeyers that could mess up the...

Reminds me of a phrase that Larry from Ammo NYC said, you can dig a hole with a spoon; you'll get there but it will take forever, or dig a hole with a backhoe, and you'll get there in no time. Invest in a DA. Before I bought my PC I tried UC by hand and after about an hour of non stop rubbing on...
