    Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    Holy gargantuan shopping cart Batman! And I thought my recent purchase on that 24 hour sale was a large one (well I guess for an enthusiast it might be.) I got all this for $399: BOSS G21 ($385) Free MF kit ($100 value) Blackfire sample ($10 value) 3 Qty Supreme 530 Towels ($45 value) 8 oz...

    Really Need Help With Urine Smell In Seat. Trying Hard To Help This Person Out.

    Just a thought but is it possible to remove the seat and see if there is a way to attack it from the bottom of the cushion or the chair. Maybe it went all the way through and is in some underside lining?

    I Like Foam

    I love the foam and since my SUV seems to get swirls easily I like the touch less aspect of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    You know you have been seriously bitten by the detailing bug when you find yourself:

    Thanks everyone for your willingness to not leave me out on the detailing limb. I left one out - in a similar way I can search for the isolated parking spot, I also try and not park under trees or telephone lines but those are hard to do when you live in OAKland. Sent from my iPhone using...

    You know you have been seriously bitten by the detailing bug when you find yourself:

    I found myself doing some idiosyncratic things now that I am interested in this obsession (I mean passion.) I thought I would tabulate some of mine and thought it might be a fun thread to have people post those things you do around your car (or even the house I guess) as a result of your...

    Micro Marring Help

    I have had good results with HD speed and that same machine and orange pad. Make sure your paint and pad are completely clean or you will see this as well. Post your results and good luck. David Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How do you handle NOT being able to wash the car? (bad weather, etc)

    I do definitely. I find myself going back to the Karate Kid quote - "Wax on Wax Off" Maybe I need to update to "One Step On One Step Off"

    Where to start?

    In my experience I did not get much result in UC and UP by hand or by machine. It was early in my obsession but I have had much better success with the HD series. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone watch youtube detailers?

    They seem to work great for me. I am now using the new Frothe product and liking that a lot. D Sent from my iPhone using Autogeekonline mobile app

    Clear coat failing on headlights?

    Is this what is happening on my headlights? You think I should try one of the headlight restore kits? Sent from my iPhone using Autogeekonline mobile app

    Anyone watch youtube detailers?

    My hook was AMMONYC in an effort to main the black on my XC90. After a while I couldn’t afford to keep buying his products being in California but completely trust his technique and production value for the clips is great. I did just buy his frothe product to try out the hose less product. I...

    Pear seeds?!?

    I think you are correct. I am certain it left some scratches but I tell you, at least in comparison to my black SUV the scratches are tough to see even in the sunlight. I was expecting to follow up with a compound session at some point but at least I am not staring that those red splats all...

    Pear seeds?!?

    My car was parked under a pear tree and some seeds of sorts landed on the paint. The red innards of these seeds heavily embedded in the clear coat and it would not budge with several washes. I even tried a mild polish and with heavy pressure I could get some of it but instead of removing a lot...

    Cheapest waterless wash?

    Actually I doing mostly touch less these days. I wash weekly if not more and my black XC90 gets swirls if I look at it funny so by using a pressure washer and foam cannon I don't actually touch the paint until I dry. I can't bring myself to buy a $93, metro sidekick, air blower for the car...

    Cheapest waterless wash?

    You may be crazy but I think you have a point. I wonder the same thing. I am using GG spray on car wash for my waterless currently but I go through 6/7 towels on my 4 door sedan whereas when I use my pressure washer and foam cannon I use 1 to 2 towels for drying. Sent from my iPhone using...
