I think Paul hit the nail on the head. I was going to say the exact same thing. Sometimes we need to step away from the online detailing forums and realize that there are way more non-Autogeeks than there are people like us. Just like ordering a steak at a restaurant, I want the menu to tell...

I love reading your Show N' Shine threads, Richy. They're very informative and I like hearing about your process. But I can almosot never wait to get down to the good stuff - the pictures! Your afters are always jaw dropping, great job!

What that needs is a different detailer. I'd rather clean up the other guy's swirls than to mess with that mess, yikes!! Like was said above, try some Tarminator and have a pressure washer available. That's gross!!

Good luck, Ed! This was my first paid job. Quoted it "sight unseen." Check it out, it's a sight I wish I had left unseen! lol http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/39862-interior-explosion.html

In my eyes, that's a solid 4.

Great post, Dave! This could really change a lot of people's lives, taking this perspective. I might have to print this off as a constant reminder. Thank you! :dblthumb2:

Thanks for the in-depth response, Joe!! My wife came home a few weeks ago with a BLGM for me, and I've used it a couple of times. Your results are terrific so I wanted to see how I could improve. Thank you for sharing!!

Great job, Joe! Could you give a breakdown on the tools, products, and your process on the carpets, upholstery and headliner? I'll be honest, I want to replicate what you're doing. :xyxthumbs:

Re: What you you like to see for a Live Broadcast? I love this idea! Also, I'd like to see Mike, or another professional, in action as if there weren't a camera on them. I see in some of the Show N' Shine threads where someone will ask how long a foam, 2BM wash, clay bar, 2 step...

Could you just tape up the edges of the wrap? Even double tape it.

As always, great work Richly! My wife has the same AR wheels on her Hyundai. Pitted to hell which is how they came on the car, almost new as an "upgrade." Hope those got some protection as I'ge not seen anyone's stay looking good. Love that trailer! The paint is "Flawless!!"

Barrels = Inside of wheel Barrels =/= Wheel wells You guys are talking about two different things.

Funny, it was April of '07 when I sold it. Bought it August of 2000, new. You might find pics on CEG. Or the October page of the, I believe, 2004 CEG calendar.

Looks great, Dave! Can't believe it's been 5 years since I sold my 2000. I still miss it!

Meguiar's and Mother's can both be found locally and can be had for $20 or less. They even come with clay lubricant and a microfiber towel so you're all set. Both are fairly gentle on paint. Just inspect your work with a good light source to make sure you aren't marring your paint and you can...

Hi Bob, You'll want to steer WAY clear of the brushes at those coin operated car washes. That is, if you care at all about the finish on your car. If you think about it, or have noticed anyone using those brushes, you'll know that they're consistently being used on Jeeps and other trucks...

On the exterior, I've founds that windows are left streak free with a DPRWG wash. Wash the car with a grout sponge, use a wet MF towel to wipe a majority of the DPRWG water off, then a waffle weave for the remainder. On the inside, I use Stoner's Invisible Glass and, the yellow MF towel...

Getting a manual transmission in NYC? I hope you have a healthy left knee! If you get a chance to drive the car first, get to about 15mph in 4th gear and lay on the gas. If the clutch starts to slip, you're more than likely looking at needing a new clutch. Do you have a price range you're...

How does the Finish Kare paint decontamination kit stack up to Iron X? Anyone tried both?

You'll benefit most from a couple of things: 1: Check out forums dedicated to your specific vehicle. See what those guys are putting on their cars and how they like them. 2: Dedicated tire sites such as Discounttire.com, tirerack.com, etc. There you will find reviews of almost every tire...
