    Megs UQW vs Tutle Wax ISW

    When I am using a "drying aid", it is usually applied on a fairly regular basis and is not meant to offer long-term durability. Durability is coming from whatever wax/sealant/coating I applied initially. The drying aid for me is just assisting with drying and providing an enhanced visual...

    Why am I getting these water spots?

    Keep in mind that I'm not a paid detailer. Just a weekend warrior. That was just my process that works awesome for me. I did learn how to do all of that by reading about what other detailers do here and watching some of the "youtubers." The professionals here should be able to give you...

    Why am I getting these water spots?

    My process is spelled out below and keep in mind I wash my car about once every 1-2 weeks thru all seasons (including Minnesota winters). 1. If car is extremely dirty (usually after bad run of weather in the winter), I'll do a quick spray down at the coin-op and then drive the car home wet...

    Why am I getting these water spots?

    Bingo! When my young daughter just has to show me something or play with me, then it is no big deal to step away and enjoy that :-) I can start washing the car, stop part way thru to eat lunch with my wife and daughter, and then go back out and finish up.

    Why am I getting these water spots?

    I rinseless wash my car 75% of the time now, because of those kinds of issues. Got tired of dealing with wind, hard water, certain areas drying too fast etc.... With rinseless washing, I have so much more control over what I'm doing and the results I get are just fantastic. If my car gets...

    If you could only use two or three product lines for all your detailing needs, what would you choose?

    I would choose these same two to cover everything. But I would miss not having ONR!

    Why am I getting these water spots?

    I've tried adding a cap of ONR to my bucket wash to help combat hard water but I quickly learned that the real problem is with the rinse water. The wash water is usually already conditioned from the soap. Just wanted you to know that if you have hard water for rinsing then you'll always be...

    Paintless dent removal

    I had some major hail damage on my car a couple months back that insurance covered PDR removal of all of it. The end result was quite impressive. Overall I am happy with the results. I did notice an area on the hood that has the screen look in the clear coat from the tech's tapping and tools...

    How fast can you wash an "average" size car?

    I'm pretty much the same for timing. 2 hours or a little under is what it takes me. I think a lot of people undersell setup and cleanup....

    ruptured achilles tendon ?

    Sorry to hear about your injury. I ruptured my achilles 2.5 years ago. These injuries can be treated surgically OR non-surgically. Yes, non-surgical, its true. Do some research on it. There are factors that go into that choice, but it is not an injury that requires surgery every time like...

    Winter Storage for Products: Options for in the Garage?

    Keep in mind that blankets and coolers are for RETAINING heat/cold from the inside. These (blankets / coolers) do nothing when you are storing something long-term that does not generate any kind of temperature on its own. Of course, the inside of a cooler will eventually stabilize to ambient...
