    Helpful tip

    I'm sure many have realized this but for those who haven't had this happen to them... Be cautious of leaving all weather floor mats on grass on extremely hot days or this will happen.... luckily it was my own lawn but still! never even thought to think how hot the grass would get under black...

    Removing leather smell from new car

    If nothing seems to solve your problem...here is a solution: We can trade cars untill the new car smell is gone and new leather smell has worn down. I have lost about the last bit of new car smell in my car and want it back :hungry:

    What do you dry your car off with?

    I have used the guzzler and also the cobra 600's and like both. When doing a rinseless, I like to do a pass with a wet gold jr. cobra then finish off with the cobra 600. I just ordered some 600s on bogo!

    Don't wash the Challenger!

    Tonight my girlfriend is picking up her new car. I told them not to even touch the exterior or remove plastic. It came off the truck like 4 days ago and only has 1 mile! The salesman said that's the first time he has ever heard of such a thing, but that his detailer would love me because he...

    Process leading to Optimum Opti-coat on new car

    While I did not opti coat my car myself I do have it applied to my black 2011 Jetta and I can tell you the paint is extremely soft. Sorry I can't help with prep product because I did not prep my own car but optimum products work well together.

    Christmas Wash?

    You know you do it.... Considering snow is not in the forecast for upstate new york this christmas- since I can remember... figured it would be a good time to do an ONR wash. Lousy picture off the iPhone because my camera battery decided to die... Lets see some others!

    Giveaway! New Detailer's Pro Series Detail Bag!

    Krystal Vision Glass Cleaner! Used it to clean up windshields that are never taken care of and it worked like a charm! Took away haziness and smearing left over from "whatever delta sonic had on their rag" according to my mom. Aqualpel went on perfect after that! The windshield is like brand...

    Which BOGO?

    I can't decide between the Supreme Guzzler or the Supreme 530. I know the Guzzler is super absorbent... I have the normal WW Guzzler now but I am wondering if the 530 would be more safe on my super soft black paint. Would the 530 absorb water as well or just spread it around? I want the best...

    Wallpaper

    All I did was take a screen shot of my desktop by pressing Prnt Scrn (I dont know how to do that on a mac) and then pasted it into paint and uploaded the picture.

    Well it's telling me I haven't posted in a while so I got this ideas while looking at my desktop. What does everyone have set as their wallpaper? This has to be my favorite picture I took of my car. I love the reflections at every angle in each panel! I makes the winter months hard and...

    Any FeedBack on Bogo Towles

    Any one use these with ONR? I have just used cobras but i have 6 of these MFs already- wanted to buy 6 more and some more ONR. If it wasn't raining for the past 3 days, or continuing to rain for the next 3, I would just wash the car, but... I know these work great for QDing.

    Anyone here know Buffalo NY?

    I go to UB and I have been down there before to perform with the jazz band. It's not the greatest area but as with anywhere else, keep an eye out. Even the owner of Nietzsche's admits it's not the greatest area but by no means is it horribly dangerous.

    I can see why ONR is the forum favorite!!! Just used it for the first time today on a rinseless wash and it's incredible! Its so easy to use, and leaves absolutely no residue! I don't even need to QD after like I typically do after a regular wash! I can't wait until Opti-Coat is applied! It...

    Who else has done this...

    So I just turned my Christmas fund budget into my detailing budget to fully correct my car and apply opti-coat :props: I knew I could turn here to make myself feel like there's nothing wrong with that! What other crazy things have people done to get their fix?

    Opti-Coat 2.0 and Chipguard

    I wouldnt even let the dealer wash the car. Regardless if they say they are going to "hand wash" it, chances are they wont be using the proper 2 bucket method. I dont think you would be doing more harm by taking it home and washing it yourself. Also, if youre worried about finding hiden paint...
