    Someone hit my car and drove off....

    Yeah it really is a shame. I've had to park at the back of every parking lot due to my car becoming a magnet for idiots who throw their doors open without paying attention to their surroundings. I called the insurance, got the number for my claims representative and left a message on her...

    Here's the after picture of the gouge in my bumper which wasn't filled.

    Someone hit my car and drove off....

    I'm back again. I took my car in last Tuesday, got my rental and returned about 30 hours later to get my car. I was initially impressed but my cousin used to do autobody on the side and pointed out that the clear coat had small dimples in it from where (rocks I guess) had hit it and in one spot...

    need tips on detailing by hand.

    Thanks Mike, those headlights do make take away from the paint. I might just pick up a restoration kit from Wal-Mart and do it out of pocket.

    need tips on detailing by hand.

    Thank you. I'll see if she wants the headlights done. It'll take a little effort but I'm sure I can get them by hand.

    I was hoping it would be a simple fix.

    Someone hit my car and drove off....

    This isn't a detail related question but I'm hoping someone here is familiar with autobody. I didn't notice until yesterday but it seems as if someone backed into my car and drove away while I was at a store or in class. The soonest I'll be able to get an estimate and contact insurance is...

    need tips on detailing by hand.

    Well I just got back, it came out pretty good despite my first time waxing. I bought Mequiar's gold class caranuba plus. Gave it quick wash, drove it into the barn and dried it off, then for the next hour and a half I slowly applied wax and buffed panel by panel. I wish she would've got the clay...

    need tips on detailing by hand.

    Sorry it took so long to reply everyone. My aunt was worried about the pollen so she told me the keys would be in the car and to come over whenever today. I tried to explain to her the proper process for an exterior detail but she just wants a hand wash and wax minus the clay bar and polish...

    need tips on detailing by hand.

    My aunt got a hold of me a few minutes ago and asked me if I could detail her car. I told her no problem but I have no experiencewith machine waxing or polishing. She is going to buy all the supplies so I'll tell her to pick up a clay bar kit along with polish and wax. The vehicle is a Audi...

    How to clean windows without leaving streaks?

    Shoot, after reading the replies the problem lies with the towels that they supply us with. I will admit it isn't a top notch detailing place. Their main attraction is a top of the line automated car wash (swirl city). They dry the cars with regular towels (more swirls) and our blue rags for...

    How to clean windows without leaving streaks?

    I just got a job at a local detailing business. Depending on the car wash the customer purchases I have to clean windows with windex and a folded cloth. I just started but I seem to have issues with leaving streaks on the windows. No streaks = Bigger tips so I would appreciate any input in the...

    Proper way to use touch up paint.

    Lmao, Was just a wash & dry, darn road salt. But I'll look at that picture everytime I pick up a beer to ensure it doesn't happen again. I'm gonna try Dr.ColorChip first and see how noticable it is. I read a couple days ago that factory paint doesn't respond to well to wet sanding.

    Proper way to use touch up paint.

    Thanks for the reply Richy, Is anyone able to recommend a good detailer who wet sands in Va? Tidewater area to be specific. The last guy I used was damn good, he cleaned out the engine and did a emergency detail after a guy hacked up my clearcoat, but I doubt he can wet sand.

    Proper way to use touch up paint.

    I can feel it if I run my finger over it, however like some other scratches on my car my nail doesn't get caught in the gash.

    Proper way to use touch up paint.

    Hey guys, I messaged richy but I'm in a hurry to see if this is fixable without spending alot of $$$. Long story short, Me and a buddy were drinking, he went to put the hose away and flung it over his shoulder, hit the hood of my car and left a gash in the clear coat.
