    Build a Detail Kit!

    Also, I am assuming that I would use a polish (Such as 205), and then a carnauba wax - I want the best possible results that I can get. Here are four(4) that just caught my eye when browsing... what are your thoughts on these? Any suggestions for other great ones for red cars?: 1) Pinnacle...

    Build a Detail Kit!

    Appreciating the feedback. I'm definitely looking into both suggestions. That kit sounds tempting as you get most of what you need for the most part; not sure what I would use for wax and polish yet (I've read great things on 101 & 205, though) Thanks again!

    Build a Detail Kit!

    Hey everyone, So I recently purchased a 2004 BMW 330CI ZHP, in Imola Red color. My girlfriend owns a 1997 BMW 318IS, in Hellrot Red. This has brought me to want to purchase everything I need to complete a full exterior detail. So here is what I ask of you: Without breaking the bank...

    Best Wax for this Color?

    Lol talk about thread-jacking myself, eh? But where are the tracks around here? Back in SK we either had old but good roads that we made tracks on, or used a kart-racing track for playing around (A real one, mind you)

    Best Wax for this Color?

    Well the 8 I can probably get looking pretty good. There was a small sign of rust on two places last year (very small, surface and at the inner corner of the stock spoiler), so hopefully no surprises this year. Jetta... well I bought it for a winter car as I sold my truck. Overall paint wasn't...

    Best Wax for this Color?

    Definitely going to take you up on this! I'm sure my girlfriend with her 1997 BMW 318iS (w/ M3 body conversion, sick car) would be all for getting some pics if you want as well. I bought her a Rebel t3i last summer (she's been taking Design Studies) and has fallen in love with pictures of her...

    Best Wax for this Color?

    I should have mentioned - The car has swirl marks, and I want to get rid of them. It's hard to tell from pictures, but the suns rays reflect and the swirls are quite visible. If anyone could recommend a full-blown cleaning, what would it consist of? I'm talking wash, swirl remover or polish or...

    Best Wax for this Color?

    I greatly appreciate all the advice. It's a tough decision what to get. I like the idea of sealants because of durability, but that isn't my primary purpose here - I want something that will make the color pop, and your suggestions are great. Now to just decide what to get! Thanks to...

    Thanks all for the warm welcome, much different than many other forums I am a part of! I should have mentioned, the car I drive (In summer) is a Mazda RX8, and it is Lightning Yellow. Some nice mods to it, but I love taking care of its paint and condition, inside and out. The other car I help...

    Best Wax for this Color?

    So I'm looking into switching from synthetic to a Carnauba based wax (Or the hybrid ones, I'm not sure whats best for me). Anyways, the car that I am detailing is my 2004 Mazda RX8, and the color is Lightning Yellow. I am going to be attaching some pictures of the car below as well, but for...

    Hey all, Just joined the forum, my name is Tyler and I'm from Saskatchewan, Canada. I have some (backyard) experience with detailing, as I love taking care of my car, but lately I've wanted to up my game so I decided to join the forums to hopefully learn more about what is right for my car and...
