    What goes into a show car paint job?

    I hear people throw around crazy numbers for show car paint jobs. $30k+ price, months and months of waiting, crazy amount of prep work, etc. So how does the process work? How many man hours are typically involved? And why do they all seem to choose only candy colors?

    $ Store Brush works great for wheels

    I'm going to throw a few tuf shine brushes in my next AG order. They are pretty good little brushes for $5.

    What do you wish to see in the future of detailing?

    I am excited to see how many layers deep we can go! We used to have single stage paint. Then we got clearcoat to protect the paint. Then we got ceramic coatings to protect the clearcoat. Now we have coatings for our ceramic coating. FATAL FLAW - there's nothing to protect to our coating's...

    What do you wish to see in the future of detailing?

    I haven't seen a steamer capable of blasting a car clean without physically touching the paint. Even the big ones only put out small amount of steam.

    Why should I buy Mckee's 37 Total Interior Cleaner instead of Meguiars APC 101?

    Best bang for buck wax on the market?

    Wax is for tinkering around with show cars. If you want low cost and durability, get a sealant like Opti-seal.

    What do you wish to see in the future of detailing?

    The holy grail is a true touchless wash that actually cleans the paint. My guess is that it will be steam. Not like now where they chase the wand around like a cat toy, but a huge volume of hot vapor that will strip a car bare in 10 minutes without using any chemicals.

    Why should I buy Mckee's 37 Total Interior Cleaner instead of Meguiars APC 101?

    Same as a ton of other products - mostly convenience. You know it's safe, no dilution ratios, no research or testing required. Spray on, wipe off. You are buying the label. That's the value proposition. If you own a $150k car and only have 20 minutes to grab some cleaner before your next...

    Crappy water

    $0.18/gallon delivered? That's dirt cheap. Can you pull from the tank using your pressure washer?

    Best method to dressing large, aggressive tires.

    Ok, I guess I'm guilty as anyone. I am going to give machine brush and full strength tire cleaner a shot next time.

    Best method to dressing large, aggressive tires.

    I like to use the Flex Foam Applicators for my Jeep tires. Granted, I probably use an excessive amount of product and don't get too obsessive about covering every square millimeter with perfect coats, but we're not talking about show cars.
