    Micro fiber towels leave scratches

    Even the highest quality microfiber can scratch, this is exactly why I never use quick detailer. I would rather see the car dirty for half a week than induce marring and taint my towels by quick detailing. Also, no matter how careful you are washing & drying, they are inevitable, anyone that...

    Which mitt/sponge do you use?

    I use the megs mf wash mitt for onr and the schmitt for traditional washes. I wanted to get some of the mf mitts during the bogo, but i think its over now :(

    The Perfect Car Wash

    The help with lubrication while drying, spritz the car with a spray wax. It will help the car dry faster and keep lube between the towel and paint. It will also help keep the car looking fresh. I use onr and 2 buckets. I do a first drying pass over each panel with my cobra guzzler, leaving the...

    ONR presoak sprayer

    I always spritz the panel with a spray bottle filled with onr at qd strength at let it soak while I rinse the mitt and load it with onr. Not sure if it helps much with the wash but it does help with peace of mind. Mine also does not run off the car if it rained at all that week, it just sticks...

    Fall Detail Story

    Now my garage queen is in the shop too. Not having driven it in a few months, I had to charge the battery up. I was able to drive it for two days before the tranny gave out on me. It is an 07 and only has 8100 miles on it. Never been parked outside over night and now it is sitting in the dealers...

    Fall Detail Story

    Got hit pretty much head-on last night by a Audi making a left turn. He had slowed down to yield, then at the last second decided he had time to make it in front of me. I was going 35 and hardly had any time to react. Due to the gravel on the road from the snow we had last week I don't think I...

    Fall Detail Story

    Just like I said above. Two weeks and 1 day after my detail this is what happens.

    08 Impreza Sedan

    Actually, detailed just in time for the rock and salt on the roads. I didn't detail IN the snow, lol. I would have done it earlier but I was waiting for my Klasse stuff. Takes a long time to get from AG to Portland (usually about 2 weeks), not as lucky as you FL guys.

    Take a peek at our new web site.

    Exactly my thoughts when I saw "working on my flash intro" but I wanted to start with the browser testing. Which even if it was intentional looks very off. In addition to search engines not being able to index the site, most mobile phones do not have flash support, so they wouldnt get past your...

    Yeah, I love the Jr's. I have close to a dozen of them and with the BOGO i couldn't pass up the opportunity for 4 more Jr's and 2 more guzzlers.

    swirls in paint

    If you only see one scratch and you have never detailed it before, then it is probably a deeper scratch than just a single swirl. Swirls are a collection of micro-marring in the clearcoat and it would be hard to spot just one. You can apply the swirl remover by machine or hand to a single...

    cobra deluxe jr microfiber

    That is normal. I use the short nap for initial buffing and the longer side for final buffing. It is also a great towel to qd with. Spray a panel and give it a wipe with the short side and then buff with the longer side.

    Building my own website, please come in and be critical

    Why is it that the Linux geeks are always so picky? Or is it that we use Linux because we are picky? Nice to see a fellow linux user / auto detailer.

    Sign of true addiction?

    Unless max is your gf/wife/partner, I think that takes the cake.

    08 Impreza Sedan

    1. Wash w/ ONR. Used a Megs MF chenelle mitt, 2 bucket method with grit guards and half solution in the rinse bucket. Pre-soaked each panel with ONR at QD strength before washing. Dried with Cobra Guzzler. 2. Clayed using ONR at QD strength and Megs clay bar. Dried again using Cobra Guzzler...

    IMAGE Auto Detail- Red C230 sport

    Wow, a lot of pics, but a great detail. Good job, the dealer should get top dollar for that thing.

    Take a peek at our new web site.

    Did you test the site in anything but IE? Someone that does such good work at detailing such as yourself really needs a good website that works in all the browsers.

    Easy buffing of sealant residue?

    OT, but its my thread so whatever. I'll do a write up in show & shine when I get the pics back from my photographer. Looking at the first pic, I guess I should have polished and waxed the front bumper (it never gets treated with anything more than spray wax).

    Easy buffing of sealant residue?

    Come to think of it, I have heard before of applying the glaze directly to the aio. I might give it a try later. I still have to do my other car. At least the wax went on easy and came off easy. Your car looks great btw, I have never tried poly charger (so expensive) but it was all the rage a...
