Hi Guys, After weeks and weeks of rain/pollen and other excuses I finally got around to stripping off the old sealant/waxes from the winter. I used P21S Total Auto Wash followed by a regular wash. Then moved on to claying and decided to skip the paint correction and in favor of a glaze and...

Good question, it all depends on circumstances: if money is tight or not/is the purchase worthwhile or will it collect dust, etc. I'd definitely justify the detailing products by saying that its maintaining the condition of the car. Although it would be tough to justify the 1000 ive spent in 7...

Are you guys just sinners in general? or is it because most people cant possibly understand why anyone would spend that much time/money/effort on their cars appearance? I luckily dont have to answer to anyone regarding my purchases.

wolfgang clay lub is evil because of its smell, nasty stuff. I remember the scent of the original version of ONR ... it made me gag after each bottle opening, and man that stuff was worth the reflux.

If you do a search on "jeweling" the paint you should find a couple of informative threads. Basically jeweling is done to already corrected paint as a final step that is NOT required (because the paint is already swirl free) but is done to add shine, using a lower speed and less or no pressure...

Transaxle- If you do not intend to correct the paint ( 2-3 step polish and jewel) then I suggest a glaze and a sealant topped with a wax if you choose to and also depending on the color of your car. I recently skipped the polishing/paint correction step because I did not have the...

Killrwheels and Harleyguy, for some reason I love when you guys post! ;) I need a avatar like yours.

Even on an aston martin $5000 is HIGH for a clear bra. I have been meaning to have a clear bra installed on front and rear bumpers, hood, mirrors, and possibly rear fender area. I believe the paint has to be free of all waxes/sealants prior to installation. Also it makes sense to have the...

I didnt know anything about detailing 7 months ago and have learned a great deal through reading/research and after purchasing the products and using them myself. My suggestion would be instead of flying all the way to the U.S. and spending money on courses and hotels, etc. Just order all the...

I wanted to share my experience and also have a question for the weekend warrior/professional detailers. When claying a car with white paint, do you clay until all the neddlehead size black dots(contaminants) are removed? how long does claying take? I'm in the process of claying my car and...

Nice job on the detail. Dont forget to seal the wheels with some klasse aio if they are clearcoated. I know thats all I seem to post but just a friendly reminder. How did you like the wolfgang leather cleaner/conditioner?

shipkiller,, I make certain that any products I use on my car/paint are safe to use. I think you should take some time to learn about anything you put near your car. better to be safe then sorry when it comes to our cars

i saw a guy using a short bristle broom that you would use to sweep up dust. He was dipping it into a bucket (i can only imagine what product he was using). It was raining at the time too so he didnt have a need for a hose I suppose,, since i didnt see one. I just started shaking my head n...

"Jewl" is either a typo or the dude cant spell but probably a typo. Regardless we are aware that he is refering to "jeweling" the paint.

sorry to hear the bad news emile, welcome to the real world lol,, congrats.

If the glaze is sealed in by applying a wax/sealant on top of the glaze will it still wash away that quickly?

Doesnt armor all tire gel have petrolium in it? I remember using this stuff before I knew any better and it was caked on the wheels for lack of a better term. I would look into poorboys brite and bold tire dressing too. I have pinn black onyx but because the poorboys is so easy to apply (...

Ive tried megs gold class, wolfgang auto bathe and pinnacle car shampoo. Out of the three pinnacle is my favorite. My mf mitt seems to glid easier, and when I rinse off the paint looks very crisp and clean. Wolfgang is also good but a little less silky feeling compared to pinnacle. Gold...

For some reason I enjoy killerwheels' posts very much lately. You cant go wrong with wolfgang sealant. Durability,slickness and protection are very good.

Hmm, have you tried searching some of the existing threads regarding one step paint care or older paint jobs. I know I've come across a number or threads about paint with no clear coat, etc.
