    Video: How to detail car emblems and badges!

    Encore une fois, merci pour cette vidéo! Peut-être je suis un peu fatiguée, parce que j'ai compris (?) seulement ~70%. Yet, it was still educational and fun to watch. Thank you for putting the labels up - these will be my new favorite lessons en français! I will continue watching as long as...

    Detailing Insurance

    Other than trying GEICO, I'm sorry I can't give any advice here. However, what kind of trouble are you having? That might help those "in the know"...

    Show car shine vs paint protection film?

    That does look nice! As to the direction of your photos: just dealt with this issue this very morning with Mike! So, our smart phones are smart enough to turn our pictures the proper way. I am assuming that is what you use. BUT the coding in the image's data file tells the computer what...

    How to find the bottle of spray to match the texture colour?

    Don't laugh, but no kidding… Try PlastiDip. IF it can withstand the temperature range per manufacturers instructions (this I am uncertain of). If you don't like the way it looks, you can always take it right back off. No harm, no foul. It gives a nice satin finish.

    Show car shine vs paint protection film?

    Bob, my bust... is the first image at time of application and the second shot with it applied (and looking amazing on your beautiful NOT white/grey/silver/black vehicle)?

    Show car shine vs paint protection film?

    Just my 2¢: the shop that installed XPel on my Mas in 2014, Modern Image in San Diego, is the go to place for Ferrari and Maserati around here. They're a specialty shop for wraps and PPF, and handle many high end vehicles. I've spoken to them many times, and they have my full trust. They...

    To Have Xpel Applied or Not?

    Excellent decision on your part, IMHO. Your guy really set you up for maintenance, too. Who was it, in case others are interested from your area? Hope I didn't miss that if you already mentioned it. We purchased an XPel package from Maserati at time of purchase, and it was the most coverage...

    Should I wax or not?

    Don, I'm sorry I never got around to posting those photos. In fact, I am just now getting pretty savvy with posting photos thanks to Mike's help. If you look at one of today's posts, Troublesome Trim, you'll see shots of the paint, after JetSeal topped with Meguiar's M26 carnauba. Not sure what...

    How Long Does it Take?!?!

    First off, Geoguy, you're not getting old, you're becoming seasoned! (Thanks random Navy Senior Chief for that one!) Now, since I'm always pushing PPE, that goes hand-in-hand with ergonomics. Wearing the right shoes, with proper heel and arch support and cushioning, will decrease muscle...

    Troublesome trim

    Jeremy, Good morning. So, what year is your truck? Hearing you LC on troublesome trim. Follow Eldorado's suggestion, then may I suggest BlackFire Total Trim & Tire Sealant. I have a Ford also, 2005 Escape, with trim that was über-faded grey and ugly, failed the "heatgun" treatment, other...

    Nice!! To this day I'm always amazed at the reflection that can be brought out on old original single stage paint. Can't wait to see the finished product. Mike, share the construction history on this vehicle… that was interesting. -Jen

    Different Color Foam question

    Yes, that's exactly it. Very well spoken, well produced video. Content really stuck with me. Must've been one of those wee hours of the morning YouTube extravaganzas. Thank you for finding the source, so that he can be properly credited. Brings to mind the recent discussion on liability...

    Different Color Foam question

    There was a thread on this somewhere, sorry, can't recall, but they showed how "Cherry" colored foam discolored parts of the engine bay. It had dripped in and sat, then left discoloration that was difficult to correct, if they even could. It actually looks fun, and I predict would get positive...
