    Wow! Still on the road!

    When I was a kid the geo metro was my buddy's first car. He used to park it and in the winter we would get a few guys and literally push the car on the ice/snow and hide it on him. Also, this hitched up compact has the bitchin' tail pipe to match. I almost went off the road when I saw this...

    Great job. You can save money by buying products that serve several purposes as well. Like instead of buying clay lube, waterless wash, and a water softener for washing you can just get a gallon of optimum no rinse. Very very versatile product. Also Optimum Power Clean. That stuff will...

    suggestions for headlight cleaning (not yellow/foggy)

    I have no idea but a light polish would just remove the ground in dirt and light haze. Her car is a 2012 so any stock protection is probably gone at this point anyhow. I also keep a product on them throughout the year which should help. Sent from my VOG-L04 using Tapatalk

    suggestions for headlight cleaning (not yellow/foggy)

    A finish polish would probably clean them right up. Just did this to my wife's car. Sje had a headlight replacement last fall and the old one looked dull. Quick polish and good as new. Sent from my VOG-L04 using Tapatalk

    Advice choosing a MyTee Hot Water Extractor?

    Interesting. What about those of us that don't do this professionally and would like a good unit that won't break the bank? I have a Bissell Autocare Pro Heat and the results are meh. I find I get much better suction with a shop vac. I did all the mats in my wife's car over the weekend and...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Buddy of mine bought an older GMC Suburban. He asked me to polish the headlights. When I saw the paint it looked like someone scrubbed it with a scouring pad. He was happy with the paint but I asked if I could do a quick test spot to see if it could be improved. Ended up buffing out the...

    Jumping in with both feet but have some questions about ceramic coating

    Don't forget you should have some quality microfiber towels as well. With soft paint you can ruin hours of work with one poor quality (or dirty) cloth. I always find the biggest problem for me after spending countless hours polishing is that I don't want to actually drive my rig cause I don't...

    Your Best Reflection Shot

    My wife's 2012 Civic hasn't been washed in a year. She normally pays a guy to do a wash and seal but I got myself back into detailing this year. Full decontamination, polish (Angel Wax Redemption), and ceramic coating. Considering the year and lack of paint maintenance it came out well...

    2 of my Flex's are down for the count!

    Truer words have never been spoken. The quality of everything seems to be getting worse and worse. High end motorcycle manufacturers like KTM are producing more and more in India. I owned an Indian built KTM and it's not even close to the quality of my Austrian built KTM. Last year I...

    Weird white smudge spot on Interior?

    I've had good luck with Optimum Power Clean at 3:1 on my vehicles. Agitated with a soft bristle brush.... Sent from my VOG-L04 using Tapatalk

    Does fixing a dent damage paint in anyway?

    Ok. Before polishing: After paint transfer and scratch removal: After PDR: I'm really happy with the results. Well worth the $125 he charged. Sent from my VOG-L04 using Tapatalk

    Does fixing a dent damage paint in anyway?

    Yeah I would imagine many factors play into it. Location, how deep it is, quality and age of the paint system, temperature etc. I searched out an independent PDR tech with decades of experience. I figure you get what you pay for. All the same, I still feel the need to tell him that my paint...

    Does fixing a dent damage paint in anyway?

    Oh I'm just assuming that's what happened as I was parked in a spot where there were no parking areas on both sides of me. I figure maybe I "cut them off" unintentionally or got ahead of them. People are quite aggressive where I live and they feel very offended if you try to pass or anything...

    Does fixing a dent damage paint in anyway?

    I was parked way far away as usual. My wife tells me that we may as well walk from home! Hahaha. I believe this one was intentional. Maybe retribution for me getting ahead of them or something. If it were a mistake I cannot see them doing the hit 4 times either. Sent from my VOG-L04 using...

    Does fixing a dent damage paint in anyway?

    Some asshole did me the pleasure of 4 dings in one last winter. I got all the paint transfer and scratches out but the dents are still driving me so crazy that I have a PDR guy working on them tomorrow. Sent from my VOG-L04 using Tapatalk

    Pictures: 2020 September 3-Day Detailing Bootcamp Class

    The transformation is nothing short of incredible! In a spot like on the door where there was what looked to be a blistering rust spot, would you tape that off and not buff it at all, or would you just lightly go around it and hope none of the blistering peels off in a chunk? Sent from my...
