It was nice to meet you, Art. You're really a cool cat. I look forward to working with you really soon.

Reading this post actually made me feel better. Here I am worrying about the 10% of swirls still left and I failed to notice that I got rid of the majority of swirls. The car actually isn't a daily driver, but a weekend driver. I figured I might as well get rid of all the swirls while I was at...

Hello, everyone. I'm about to begin a full detail on my car now that I have a daily driver and have found a product that I'm comfortable working with. The pictures of the purple car show a before and after with Griot's Machine Polish 2 after one pass with an Orange LC pad. The last picture...

I definitely made sure to wear gloves every time I worked on the car. Yes, I did, for $500. When I first bought it, it had not been registered in 2 years, so it's not as if I could drive it either to see if the engine was good. I took a shot in the dark, but a very confident one at that...

A couple weeks ago I had created a thread asking for assistance in cleaning up a filthy car I had just purchased. If you are interested in that thread, it is here: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/42408-best-way-approach-carpet.html . Well, I just wanted to be sure I posted...

Hmm, very true and good analogy!

There is already an odor problem in the cabin of the vehicle, so it would help address that issue in addition to me cleaning upholstery with a rug doctor. I'm not concerned about catching something, it's just nasty and I want to rid of bacteria from the leftover food stains, etc.

A steamer is the route I would like to go with, but unfortunately, I do not have access one. lasthope05, is the product that you speak of?

Primarily as a sanitary precaution more than anything.

I have a car with very dirty door panels. I'm not just talking about your typical grime and dirt, but food stains and who knows what else. Before I actually cleaned them, I wanted to disinfect them, but I wasn't sure what to use. I was at Target and was reading the back of a 409 anti-bacterial...

Surprisingly enough, no. It was more so crumbs, food, fast food condiment packages, fries, sunflower seeds, and lastly, Coca Cola or coffee. Nice! I did not think of a pressure washer. I did forget that I do have OPC. In regards to pressure washing, it actually is the first time hearing or...

Hi everyone. I recently purchased a beater vehicle so that I may sit my now to modified former daily driver. I acquired this car for $500 and for that, I got what I paid for. Despite the body being perfectly straight, the interior was another story. It was disgusting! When I first saw it, which...

It never hurts to try.

You know what works great on chrome? Lime Away, believe it or not. Dilute a bit with regular water, wear gloves, and have at it. When I was re-doing my rims, I had the rivets re-finished and I was not satisfied with the results, so using a q-tip I went through all 140 rivets and was extremely...

My name is Raaalph! Lets see who gets it first.
