    Now I know to never take my car to a "bunch of Hacks"

    Re: Now I know to never take my car to a "detailer" Good question, and frankly I should have done so. I thought of doing this, but the process seemed almost unstoppable. If I stopped them during the wash, then it had to be dried while not clean and then swirls would happen. Probably even...

    Now I know to never take my car to a "bunch of Hacks"

    Re: Now I know to never take my car to a "detailer" Hey Shiny, You are correct, and I do not write off all detailers, far from it. My enthusiasm for detailing has actualy made me grow a lot of respect for the profession because, it just is no easy job. I have put "detailer" in between...

    Now I know to never take my car to a "bunch of Hacks"

    Re: Now I know to never take my car to a "detailer" I take it from your post that you are a pro detailer? If so, where are you at and what is the name of your shop?

    Now I know to never take my car to a "bunch of Hacks"

    I have just had surgery last Thursday and for the next 3 weeks, will not be able to wash my car myself (let alone detail it). So I call a detailing shop that had been recommended to me by a friend. Their web site showed nice pics of before and after of nice rides (Porsche, BMW, ...). They tell...

    Carpet

    As far as I am concerned, the Stoner Upholstery and Carpet cleaner is the best way to go w/o the use of an extractor. I do not have a steamer/extractor, so I don't know for products for these. I would be worried about the woolite because this is a product that needs to be rinsed, so unless you...

    What products would you use on this car?

    DGPS and/or DP MaxWax would be my choice. Both are very shiny and the MaxWax will get the flakes to "pop"

    Bug Season Is Coming, Looking For Suggestions

    The best I have found is the 1Z Einszett Insekt product. It works great on its own (spray, wash mitt, rinse and dry) or before a wash help removing the bugs without scratching the paint. The only drawback is that you use quite a bit of it and the bottle is small (I think I can get 6 uses out of...

    Water conditioner additive?

    I do not think it will work that well. The principle in Calgon is the following: Calgon is a sodium based complex, the Calcium and Magnesium that make the water hard, take the spot of the sodium in the complex and that complex is soluble. What this means is this: in a washing machine, it...

    Cleaner & Wax Questions!

    1. No need to remove, any polish will take care of that 2. Trying another wax over Pinnacle will not demonstrate or show any quality of either wax. If it were my car, I would wait until the Pinnacle wears out (say about a month or so) and then do the car in Pinnacle and have a few areas with...

    Polish Help needed for college student on budget.

    I did not notice that first of, but I see you have pads on orange/white and gray and in both 5.5 and 3.5'. IMO, you could save a little money by taking - a kit of 6 pads in 5.5: 3 orange, 2 white and 1 gray (the more you go down the cutting scale, the less they gunk up or wear) - a kit of 4'...

    Polish Help needed for college student on budget.

    It's a 5-series...built in Regensburg, Germany (pics in my garage). It does have a scratch resistant CC, BUT, for as scratch resistant as the clear coat is supposed to be, I was amazed at how easy it was to take the minor swirls out with either 1Z HGP or PO85rd on a white pad. I am wonderring if...

    Polish Help needed for college student on budget.

    Why not try the 1Z Einszett Intensiv paste and 1Z einszett High Gloss polish? They are on sale (special values page) for $15 and $20 a full liter bottle. That would save you $55 and these products work every bit as good as the Menz IMO. They are designed for ceramic clear coats, are big bottles...

    Gummi Pfledge...Wow!!! *PIC

    On these, you will need to get the sponge really wet and if it gets dry, press on the sponge tip to get some of the product to come down. That brings a question for AG: when I was in Germany, I saw there were 2 other Gummy Pfledge products: - a 1Z Gummy Pfledge 12 or 16oz Aerosol - A Wurth...
