    Any detailers near Montgomery, AL?

    Hey all, I've got a friend in that area who's looking for a detailer. Too far for me to travel, so I figured I'd ask you all? Currently the only thing he's found is the dealerships. And NONE of us want that, right?! :nomore: Anyways, post up or PM me and I'll pass the info along.

    Need detailer in nc

    As stated earlier, a clay bar should be just what you need. It's very easy to do, but you will need to re-wax the car after. But if you really want a professional to do it, I'm based in Greensboro and travel to Charlotte for details on a regular basis.

    Best way to spend $0.04?

    Hey guys, after adding all the items I want for my cart, I'm a measly $0.04 away from free shipping! So I want to know: What low dollar items do you guys have that you would really recommend? I could always add a pack of measuring cups just to get the shipping, but if I could have something...

    Man, that car sure looks good in the shade. But I guarantee its a whole 'nother story once you pull it into the sun :p

    Inaugural Detail of My New Car!

    My '86 300zx met a very, very unfortunate end. It started overheating on my way home one evening, so I left it until the morning when I could get it towed to be fixed. Woke up the next morning to the police telling me it had been set on fire. It was of course a total loss, so it was time for a...

    For Manual Drivers, I thought this was funny!

    Yes, absolutely. I recall a news story where a guy driving his new 'vette was carjacked, and the guys who jacked him couldnt drive it because it was a manual. So here this dude is laying in the road yelling things like "PUSH IN THE CLUTCH THEN SHIFT TO THE TOP LEFT" because they legitimately...

    Paint Correction-2001 Air Natique 21' Ski Boat.

    Everyone always says, the best thing you can do with a boat is to not to own one, but to have a friend who owns one. Well, my "friend-with-a-boat" texted me a week or so ago asking about getting some work done on his boat. During the summer, it spends most of it's time on a lift over the water...

    What's the correct way to dry your car after washing with the two bucket method?

    This is another reason I LOVE rinseless washing. It pretty much eliminates water spots because you dry each panel as soon as you wash it. If you haven't tried ONR, you should. If for whatever reason, rinseless is not an option, there are a few things you can do to help prevent water spots...

    Water hose stuck under tires?

    The way I've always done it is just pull plenty of slack towards me, and swing wide when I walk around the corner of the car. It gets pulled under the tire from you trying to pull the hose towards you around the corner, so having plenty of slack from the get-go will prevent this without any...

    Bug N Tar removers

    Stoner's Tarminator is highly regarded and is available at O'Reilly's, Advanced Auto, Autozone, Carquest, and Walmart where I am. Call your local stores and see if it's available. Ask for it by name, and describe the container in case they aren't familiar with the product.

    Frustrated with MF pads

    These MF pads tend to generate heat VERY quickly compared to foam. This excess heat is what's causing the failure that you're seeing. A backing plate with holes can help, as will keeping the speed on your DA only as high as is necessary(speed 4 or so). These things have so much cut that speed 6...

    Looking for a good sealant/wax

    I see about 6 months out of Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant when properly prepped. Easy on, easy off. Even easier if you have a DA. And my customers get about 2-3 months from Optimum Car Wax on average. This is great for a spray wax on daily drivers. Takes about 20 minutes to do the whole car...

    Questions/help on detailing my jeep

    If you don't want to buy a pressure washer, you can always go down to the coin op car wash and spray off all the excess there, then drive home and wash it yourself. This is a very common thing on here

    What am I doing wrong - (wetsanding)

    In order to remove sanding marks, you have to remove enough paint so that the top surface is level with the very bottom of the scratch. Sanding marks at 2000 can still be pretty deep, and may require several passes even with something like M105. Your options are basically either to make more...
