I'll admit that most of my detailing has been on motorcycles, garage/trailer queens, and my own vehicles. Lately I've been getting a lot of work/requests to remove scratches caused by a local car wash that has become popular. One time through this car wash has left many vehicles with a haze of...

Looking for some recommendations/what others are using for 4" buffing pads. I've always had good results with Lake Country pads, but recently I have not been happy with the LC Hydro-tech pads. Not sure if they changed the pads or if its me, but the center of the pads has been getting the...

Thank you Garage is 32x32 Insulated and air conditioned, also has epoxy coated floor. Only regret is I could only do 8.5' walls because of local codes about out buildings not being taller than the main structure. That limited me to 7' tall doors. If the garage was smaller, I could have gone...

I recently finished my garage and was finally able to get my truck inside for a good detail. It has been sitting outside in the New Mexico sun for 2.5 years with the occasional wax. There was some pretty bad water spotting, but now that it can sit inside, it was time to get serious. I started...

I personally don't think this is a concern. I have ever heard of this happening and if was that easy you would think people would be doing it all of the time. If I understand it correctly, the odometer is actually designed to prevent this. Even when the instrument cluster is changed out the...

Normal. With these pads, just be careful around the sealed cells with the toothbrush. You can remove the top (sealed) layer opening them up for the product to absorb in. It won't "ruin" the pad, but it won't hold the product to be distributed as needed like intended. You basically turn it...

That was supposed to be WOULDN'T notice the difference.

When cars sit, moisture builds up and breaks down the systems. It causes acid build up that eats the exhaust, erodes brake systems, and causes fuel system varnishing. That is the reason for products such as Sta-Bil. Seals and other rubber parts dry out, crack, and leak. Engine parts such as...

What I like most about Detail Fest is the concept, what a great idea and way to get people interested in detailing cars together and showoff some great products and cars. What I like least is the location. It's too far away for me to go there without some serious planning. What I would like...

If you are going to do a wipe down, read this first! http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/hot-topics-frequently-asked-questions/31183-how-mix-ipa-inspecting-correction-results.html

personal opinion, I wouldn't use a compound on this vehicle. I'm guessing this is your moms daily driver. I'm also guessing she would notice the difference between a good wash and wax and a complete paint correction. Additionally, because her CRV is white, it's not going to show much o begin...

My first impression as well

I hate the sound of the new exhaust systems, especially flowmaster. The Borla is better, but you pay for it. Nothing beats the sound of the old muscle cars. My vette is only a small block, but love the sound of the chambered exhaust. Although I love the big blocks, you can do a lot with a...

Funny, I think the Camaro is the best looking one of the three. Of course I'm a GM guy. I've never liked the Mustang, mostly from my experiences back in the early 90's when everyone who had one thought it was something special. They would go to the track with their stock 5.0 and think they...

Funny, my wife took the kids on a 14 hr one way trip in the Camaro...she's 5'4" so close. :xyxthumbs:

I would agree to some extent, but you'd be amazed how many of the guys that show up at the track with these things are in their mid to late 20s and put all of their eggs in one kick ass basket/family car. I always said the same thing about the LT1 Camaro, "why would I buy that instead of a...

I've also been doing some homework on this. As a recent new used RV owner I will be detailing mine in the spring. My guess if someone is going to pay you to detail their RV, they expect the roof to be detailed as well, double check on that so you can calculate that into your price. From what...

Come on guys really? Since you haven't figured it out yet, I'll spell it out for you......FAMILY. All of these are family cars. That's why they have a back seat. Try selling your wife on a new corvette in the garage when you have two kids. Yes they are fun to drive and a great way to get a...

Its all personal preference and I prefer a sealer topped with carnauba finish more so than a coating. Not going to change what looks good to my eye because of the crap they put on the roads. I'll just put on another coat of my favorite LSP.

Shipping companies will re-box items if the original packaging is damaged. They are supposed to tell you it was re-packed so you can review the contents and file a claim if anything is damaged. I have never known UPS to not follow this protocol. I would contact them immediately. My guess...
