I have not posted any in depth reviews with pics etc, and thus, would not feel right offering myself up, however, I'd like to add this opportunity to ask for a tutorial thread on how to post reviews on a mac (or just info from others who know how). Don't mean to hijack this thread, but but I...

I am not in the market for a polisher right now (I find my GG 6" versatile enough to satisfy my needs). If I were in the market, though, I would definitely consider buying this system for the lifetime warranty alone! Unlike other warranties, which are often money-making schemes for the...

It says "concentrated" but I have taken that to mean "strong" (like how dawn is concentrated but you don't need to dilute it). I do not believe it is a concentrate. If it is, I've been using it incorrectly - I've used it full-strength. (I buy the 32 oz spray bottles... a little bit goes a long...

Picked up a Ridgid wet/dry vac with auto detailing kit. Not sure if this deal was originally posted in this thread or not, but it was posted on AGO awhile ago. I thought this vac was discontinued, but apparently, HomeDepot had more of them. It is currently bundled with the car-detailing kit...

For upholstery, try 303 High Tech Fabric Guard. Make sure interior is well-ventilated and has time to dry/air out, because it is very very caustic smelling when first applied.

Nick, what do you think of using Amazing Roll off to clean tires before applying tuf-shine tire cc? Purchased the cc without realizing there was an accompanying cleaner. Ideally, I would like to use Amazing roll off since that is my go-to for tires. Have you or anyone else had experience with...

Oh, okay. That is annoying. I tried to get custom fit mats on my last car but because of the way the seats were designed (there was a hump towards the front of the front seats) the mats stopped before that hump. This area was where everything dropped/spilled, so my mats were next to useless...

Well, long story short, I wet sanded with 800 then 2000 grit paper, blending the edges where the cc was failing. I then sprayed on about 4 coats of white color-matched paint and then 4 of clear. Used M105 to follow. Was going for a "do-it-all-in-one-day" approach, rather than a "show-car...

Like Nick, and others have said, you need to use a lot of towels to get good results. Like others have said, regular microfiber can leave strands (you'll see little 1-2 mm "hairs" all over glass after having been cleaned. They like to stubbornly cling to the glass and don't like to be removed)...

I have detailed cars, planes, and boats. Regarding transportation, I've only not worked on RVs and trains! Haha. Anyway, I have realized that I don't like to do boats or planes. (Sometimes realizing what you don't like to do is as important as realizing what you do like to do). In fact, my uncle...

Not sure if you mean the previous or current gen rav4, but I have the previous gen (09) and am very happy with my floor liners.

My previous two cars were too old to purchase weathertech mats, but when I got an '09 rav4 early this year, I was excited to finally be able to purchase weather tech floor liners! A family friend had them in his x5 and his tacoma (work truck), and turned me on to them. There are several reasons...

I don't like to think he wrote it, I like to think he moved on with his life; though Jon Hamm, in an interview, seemed to imply that he did write it because "he is an ad man" (or at least he thought so). I think the end was left nebulous on purpose - Matthew Weiner wanted some ambiguity as to...

Hi Mike. Thought I'd add some input. See pics. Our third car (which is going to become my mother's car for the time being due to her losing her job from an ankle injury) has what I'd classify as fairly extreme cc failure. I 1) wanted others to see pictures (esp on a white car, which is sometimes...

See pics - pic 1, 2 & 3 - you can see the hood clear coat failing.Pic 4 - I'm not sure if the left side's clear coat is completely worn off, or completely still in tact (hard to tell).Pic 5- you can see the cc failing at the top of the doors. Pic 6- the trunk lid has most of the clear coat off...

My mother's lease is up soon, and long story short, she lost her job due to an ankle injury and can't afford a new car at the moment. So our third car, a 97 civic lx, will become her car for the time being. The problem with the car (luckily it is not mechanical - knock on wood) is the paint. The...

Yes, I could probably do that. Thats actually a great idea! I'll have to look into that, thanks! Just have to wait under our Christmas travels are over... which means it'll most likely be a project for early 2015!

I have the Rudolph wax too! Maybe I'll get a chance to break it open this year!

Hey everyone! I've been a member of the forums for awhile and have detailed several cars, but I usually do them in the fall, spring, or summer. I got a CPO 2009 Toyota RAV4 sport last Monday, and the dealership did not detail it for me. Consequently, the paint is slightly swirled & hazy (I think...
