About a week ago I had roughly 6-8 oz of milk spill in my backseat (Macan black interior). My waterproof dog seat cover caught about 1/3rd and the rest spilled off onto the carpet. It was late, I had to be up early for my dissertation defense, and I was pretty brain dead at the time; so I got...

So I've been reading up on the subject because I've got a white vehicle as well. "Gloss comes from smoothness. Period. End of discussion." "Gloss comes from reflection, and reflection comes from a flat surface. All those fine swirl marks are actually scratches with sharp edges. Those edge...

Thanks for the advice. My car is in the shop, so based on y'alls feedback I decided to cut it down to just two cars: the Rav4 and the Accord. Things did not go as planned, as vehicles were late, two additional SUVs were thrown into rotation, and the Accord needed substantially more work than...

Tomorrow I will be using my GG DA polisher for the first time! I'll be using a lot of new products, so I wanted to make sure I'm using them appropriately. Apologies in advance for any weird phrasing/typos my job is melting my brain at the moment. Any advice or suggestions to speed up the...

I've used a GG synth clay bar with soap and with quick detailer and prefer the quick detailer. I felt that the soap was so lubey that it wasn't allowing the bar to actually do its job. I definitely wouldn't try it with regular clay as I'd be afraid of it slipping out of my hands and onto the ground.

Still haven't purchased the GG 6 inch yet, I'm trying to spread the cost around... A few hundred dollars later, I've bought the following. The Original Forum Favorite Kit x1 Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax #845 x1 CarPro Iron X Lemon Scent 500 ml x1 Original Style CCS Blue Low Profile...

I had not read that, I'm watching the "How to do Automotive Exterior Detailing" video now. Thank you for sharing this! I absolutely needed these resources.

I actually don't have any of the products I listed! I have heard good things about Dodo juice and thought that their Lime Prime would be a good place to start for vehicles needing more TLC than normal. I was under the impression that Polish, then Glaze, then Seal, then Wax would provide the...

Thanks for the welcome Bobby. Interior gets vacuumed with a heavy duty wet vac, GG interior cleaner is sprayed on any of the problem areas but I generally don't do much to the interior besides vacuuming. As far as the Exterior right now my process is to: (1) 1/2 CG Honeydew + 1/2 Rain X soap...

Hello. New to the forum, following the purchase of a new vehicle I have started getting more involved in the different aspects of detailing. After claying and waxing my girlfriends car, my soon to be father-in-law asked if I would take a pass at his vehicle. So now I am in the process of...
