    Building up my inventory!

    I'm fairly new here myself. But I do believe its frowned upon to promote other sites. I have received a free gift or two from time to time with my measly 6 orders over two months. Not trying to be an a$$ but I think it's in their TOS when you sign up.

    Does it really cost $500 to detail your own car?

    Yes....it can be maybe more...maybe less. I just did my own, I guess you could call it a paint correction to some degree. I already had a pressure washer. But I spent maybe close to 400. Foam cannon, Iron X, IPA, 14 different pads among two different brands, maybe 30 MF towels of all various...

    Leer fiberglass painted topper

    Linky not worky for me. :-) Seriously, the link doesn't seem to work. But I would image you would approach the same as the truck itself, other than the obvious fact the paint will be a bit different because it wasn't done at the Ford factory along with the truck. Wouldn't you just do your...

    What the heck? Nightmare

    Mine does the same thing. However, I've recently moved over to all MF. As far as it getting rigid when it dries. I simply soaked it down, wringed it out, and it would be good to go. Does yours stay stiff and rigid even after soaking it? And if we weren't on a car forum I'd be concerned with...

    I really tried-Help me from making it worse

    From what little experience I have and nothing really to compare I believe as well they're shallow and certainly not through out all the car/panels. And yes, a bit OCD, mainly out of frustration. I never noticed others with this affliction :p . But it's all good. I can fix it. 3 CG Red Hex 3...

    I really tried-Help me from making it worse

    LOL Amen brotha. I get it though. It won't be perfect for a daily driver. Most of my swirls have come from the way I washing it. Bad technique more than anything. Better soap, better drying technique. As careful as I thought I was I've discovered that there is still more I can do to at least...

Between the never ending clouds and rain up here in VA for the last two weeks and the annual honey do spring list I'm slowly working my way towards working on my car. I will provide better pics when and if the sun ever comes out again to show exactly what...

    Competition Ready "Premier Party" at Autogeek - 6:00pm Friday, April 22nd

    I absolutely understand you weren't there to make anyone look bad. I was just a bit surprised the amount of swirls so soon. And as I'm typing and thinking out loud.....and this is because I honestly don't know any better....is it SOP to rotatory buff such a new paint job, only being three...

    Alternative for Hot Water Extractor and Steam Cleaners

    Very good advise...but devils advocate here...not being argumentative. He has to go where the money is. If his only job(s) for the day are only available to him away from his shop I don't think it's wise he pass on it. A bit of a tough situation to be in. He has to take what he can get and be...

    Any trusted detailers in Utah near Sandy?

    As the saying goes....You get what you pay for. It is a lot of money but could very well be worth it. Hard to say. Maybe if you have time you can go and check out a car there working on.
