Seriously.

I applied 915 this year to a dark blue Honda. The car took a summer road trip to Florida (from Chicago) and it returned in tatters. I wish I paid closer attention to the time line, but I certainly did not get 6 weeks out of it. Maybe as few as 4 under those circumstances. On my other car...

Sometimes it happens as a natural by-product of the carpet extractor if you are slow and precise. But I do it with a regular brush anyway. Simply for the fact that it shows that I gave attention to every square inch. And yes, it looks sharp. One column up, next column down, etc. Don't over...

I am finding that two coats of Meguair's supreme shine (interior dressing) gets the tires just how I like them. An understated matte black. No sling. No sticky/greasy looking shine. Let's the eyes wander across the entire car seamlessly. I personally think it's perfect. I work it into...

Keep in mind too...I took my own car to a dealership for an interior detail, and it was terrible. No doubt they had some industrial level extractor and and a crew of part timers to go nuts and git er' done fast. Great. They had tools and manpower. Left it soaking wet and didn't even lift...

You cant edit the images (flip, rotate, resize etc) in Microsoft paint and then upload them onto imgur.com

Yet, I can't look away... "That's too much water to be putting on an engine" ### difference does it make? It's either water resistant or it's not. And he just hoses down everything right after saying that anyway. I can't...even....yet...I must...keep...watching!

There's a big long thread of bitching about the mytee, and lots of good remarks about esteam. I can tell you that I prefer a pump sprayer and shop vac. There is something to be said about finesse and moisture control on upholstery. But I also plainly refuse to be enslaved to someone else's...

Wow...uh. Slippery slope here. I spent some time working as a police officer in patrol, and.... Yeah... ...so...I've actually lost count the number of times I've stopped someone who I was 1000 percent certain was a slam dunk DUI...and then it turned out to be an asian woman. Recent...

I've landed the opportunity to do a head-to-toe, inside-and-out, paint-correction detail on a 2000 Viper. Anyone have experience on these? Any insight on weird materials, idiosyncrasies or specialized tools I might need? Particularly with the engine bay; any reason to do something other...

Good examples! That's the practical kind of advice I was looking for.

Felt like I could walk into your garage through your bumper and borrow your ladder!

Thanks. That actually means a lot coming from a pro. It's hard to calibrate the quality of one's work when most people in my social circle don't know what they are looking for. I mean, they know it looks good, but they don't know why, and they have no clue how long it takes.

LOL! I'll be sure to tell him!

The first time I abruptly decided to detail an interior, I went to Walmart and stocked up on the cheapest everything I could find. Name brands are beside the point, and I don't even remember all of them So, then I find myself with my snout buried in various cleaners and their fumes for the...

Ha! No, it was his car. I'm still learning, so this was done in trade for some woodworking. He got the better end of the deal. I grossly underestimated the miles of sheet metal on this thing. Truth be told, I'm not even really a "car guy". My dad turned me off to the mechanics; having...

I think it was someone's attempt at making a choo-choo re-creation.
