    Maintanence wash vs. full wash, How often

    I wash my truck and wife's car as needed. Her's sits in a garage but is driven more than mine. Mostly town driving and a little interstate. My truck sits outside and is pretty much only driven in town. I've been doing conventional washes every week or two weeks depending on need. I'm hoping...

    how is my technique and supplies

    He covers that in the video but here's what I'd try first. Clay bar Meguiar's M105 on orange pad Meguiar's M205 on white pad Meguiar's M21 Sealant by hand Of course, if the scratches are too deep you may need go back and wet sand before polishing again. Doesn't look like you have too many...

    is there salt removal chemical for winter cleaning?

    I've never tried a waterless/rinseless wash before but order a concentrate bottle of Pinnacle Liquid Crystal yesterday after hearing the recommendations and videos on waterless washes.

    Pressure Washer not removing dirt on powder coated rims?

    P.S. After thinking about it, the pressure wash followed by waterless is not going to save anything if you have to dry the car after the pressure wash. Might as well go with the conventional wash.

    is there salt removal chemical for winter cleaning?

    My response to road salt is a touchless wash with undercarriage. Certainly not ideal but best alternative in some cases. This has not been much a problem in my area for a long time until this past winter. I try to get a coat of wax/sealant on in October.

    Pressure Washer not removing dirt on powder coated rims?

    This may not be any help at all but one thing I've thought about as an alternative to a normal hand wash on a dirty car is to use a good quality foam then pressure wash with a washer similar to your's. Follow with a rinseless (waterless) wash like Pinnacle Liquid Crystal. This still involves...

    how is my technique and supplies

    I'd try to polish them out if they aren't bad enough for touch up paint or wet sanding. There are a number of videos on youtube and I'm sure some on AG that go through the process. One I watched before I worked on my daughter's car a couple of weeks ago was one by junkman on youtube. It's...

    Pressure Washer not removing dirt on powder coated rims?

    There are limits to what a pressure washer can do. I have a 2800 psi washer but I don't use it on my vehicles any more. I took a three inch strip of paint off the rim of a truck I had several years ago. I was having the same problem as you. I was trying to get close enough to get the brake...

    Questions on detailing my new car

    I can't answer the question about which protects better MHP or paint sealer. My guess is that either one will do although I'm not sure about "all" sealers. I had some PlasticX and MHP left over from a previous vehicle so I just went with the MHP. I used the PlasticX on my truck right after...

    Questions on detailing my new car

    I got a new Altima last Nov and use Meguiar's Headlight Protectant on it. It's my first use of MHP and the car was new so I'm not sure how good the stuff is. No problems so far. I also use Meguiar's Headlight Cleaner and the Protectant on my 2006 truck but only started in Nov. I use a...

    Just ordered some Pinnacle Liquid Crystal. Hopefully, the PLC and distilled water will save me some work. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Hello from Eastern Tennessee

    Welcome! I'm just down I-40 abit in Murfreesboro. I registered at AG a week or so ago and have been in a similar situation. I'm approaching 62 and retired due to health issues about a year ago. I detailed my cars for several years but pretty much stopped in the mid-90s. Just too much to...

    How much to a dealer

    Not sure if there's a going market rate in the area but, if so, you'd have to be line with it. Otherwise, I'd charge at least $125 but ask for $150 for 4 hours of pretty hard work. I'm not in the business but it seems to be that it would be better to have a standard rate but higher than...

    Shelf Life of Menzerna P091E Polish

    I thought I'd give it a try after I posted. Seems to be normal. Nothing has separated, goes on smooth, and buffs out like normal. Guess I'll use it. I'd read where some car care polishes and waxes have a shelf life of from 1 to 2 years, assuming no freezing. Thanks
