Welcome, my wife and I work side by side as much as we can. I'm not a pro detailer but we love to keep our 96 SVT Cobra show worthy. Laurie's great on glass and interiors. Also a very careful dryer with a waffle towel. My only complaint is she's like a kid with a hose. Likes to get me as wet as...

Forgot Kid Rock: I'm a cowboy, and that song he did that was a rip off of Werewolves of London Summertime? My wife loves that song.

I read on here a year or more ago a post about using some sort of cleaner, I think it was glass cleaner from Home Depot on wheels with amazing results. Anyone know what product that is. The poster didn't share, and it wasn't on this particular thread. They said it was their goto secret for shiny...

Ok, I agree but are their value priced MF towels that are good for Clear Coat? I have some Cobras bought from AG for my final buff & polish. But as an amateur who is doing my own car & families I can't afford a drawer full of Cobra plush towels. What else is OK? Something in the middle range...

Currently in my Cobra on a burned CD Ok the first couple are, the rest just came to mind, I used to be a DJ. Queen: Fat Bottom Girls, Another on bites the dust Sweet: Ballroom Blitz Muse: Uprising Who: Squeeze Box, Mobile Sniff & the Tears: Drivers seat Paper Lace: The night Chicago...

I don't know if any of their products are useful on a pro or even semi pro level but Ollie's a closeout chain in PA, MD, possibly other states is selling Armorall products, mainly in pop-up dispensers for 1/2 price. They also have Black Magic wheel products, including their Magic Bullet foam...

Hi, I'm the OP of this thread. It's got warm enough here in PA I'm ready to give her it's Spring detail. Car is a black 96 SVT Cobra. Looking over the car it's definitely has some swirl and rids that need detailed out. Using the Maguiars MF DA Kit, how concerned do I need to be about...

Sad Day today, had to take all of my detailing chemicals from the garage into the basement. They are calling for a freeze tonight here in central PA. I imagine more of you here in the north had to do the same.

It's was clayed very well this summer. After the correction I did get done I sealed it with UPGP. For now could I wash it, add a touch up layer of UPGP. Or I have a bottle of Collonite I've been wanting to try, I could wax it with that, till spring.

Last question of the night. I'm still a pretty newbie and have the worst color to maintain, gloss black. Once you correct the paint and protect it with sealant and or wax, what are the best practices to keep from reintroducing swirl marks or scratches? This summer I was able to correct the top...

If the paint is properly prepared and a car is sealed and or waxed and say the longevity of the wax is normally 2 months. If you don't drive the car that often and it's garaged when not driven, should the wax last much longer? Is the longevity more based on exposure than time? Also does washing...

I have a black 96 SVT Cobra. We only drive it for pleasure on sunny days. I started to correct it for swirls and rids but got set back first by the extreme heat this summer, and then some health issues. We probably won't drive it over the winter unless it's very mild like last year. My question...

Next Wednesday on the Velocity channel on the BBC show Fifth Gear they are going to show what you get for an £8,000 detail. The preview looks interesting. The show is like Top Gear but I think a bit more serious. Here in PA on Comcast it's channel 870. You must have HD channels.

Being bit hard with the detail bug I'm supercritical of the condition of my 96 SVT Cobra. Especially in the harsh sun I see every scratch and dreadfully new nics. My car from a few feet looks awesome. But look close in the sun and light scratches show up that drive me insane. So today I made...

Is it possible to clean the barrels of a 5 spoke chrome wheel without removing the wheels? I know the right way is to remove them and really clean them up, but with my back removing, cleaning, and putting back 4 wheels is quite a chore. Thanks in advance, Spiney-Dave

I want to put together a basic sign for shows on Black 20x30 foam core board. In the future I'll have a pro one made, or make my own in Photoshop but I need something quick and EZ for 2 shows this weekend. Any tips? Thanks, Dave

I'll look for you at AM on Sunday. I hope to buy an SCT TUNER W/ BAMA tunes. I'm hoping for some show discount. There's much more I'd like to buy, but the tuner will clean me out.

Found great buy at Target today on close out. Wand for hose with soap dispenser and mix valve, plus wash mitt and brush. Originally $19.99 today $5.99. Tried it right away to wash SVT Cobra. Put Meg's Gold Car wash and a little ONR in soap container and washed black SVT Cobra. It did a great...

I had prepped my car and then used UPG+ 2 coats as LSP. I was going to top with Collonite 845 but multiple coats of UPG+ were recommended. Today I washed the car from the bottom up to prepare for 2 weekend shows. I dried with leaf blower but there Are still some tiny water spots. If I want to...

Found the new rattle, it was the mounting bolt for the Cold Air Intake. I want to use a longer bolt with rubber washers on both sides.
