    Need help starting

    Whenever I do details outside of the family driveway, I tell them up front that on their 3rd detail I will do a complete in and out for the price of the exterior. Then, the offer repeats every 3 details. This keeps them coming back, and builds respect for my work. You might not be interested in...

    Can anyone help me identify this paint issue?

    Have a 2000 Ford Explorer XLT, red paint. I'm the 3rd owner, college student so I need a cheap way to 'hide' this. The entire hood has road rash, but I'm not worried about that. There are these white lines, the size of a grain of rice, all over the car. Any way to fix this in an affordable...

    Meguiar's new products for 2011!

    NXT is not a favorite of mine... I used it because I'm a poor college kid (hah) and it noticeably darkened and clouded my red paint. For $16 just not worth it. Now I stick with Auto Geek products that I cannot afford!

    Car DECISIONS!!! HELP!!!

    I would go for the 5.0 Mustang.. Although do think if you are financing (not sure if you are...) whether or not you want those payments! I know that is what is keeping me from going out and spending $25k on the car I want. If you get the Stang, Im sure we all would love to see pics!

    Need help with foggy looking paint...

    Well, I resolved the issue. Here is what I did. I did a coat of Megs ultimate compound followed by swirlx, followed by mothers sealant and caranuba wax. No more fogginess. I must say the results are astonishing. The shine is so much clearer and vivid. Attached pics but they arent great since I...

    Need help with foggy looking paint...

    Unfortunately I cannot get a close up... its 1am right now and I don't have a good light source on hand... To describe it I would say that there are patches of paint where it looks 'darker' and not as vibrant. My next day off will be spent 7am to dusk doing what I can to try and fix it. If it...
