I like the way you think. I'd love to have a Duesenberg in the garage and and unlimited budget and time. Or this:

Sounds like cleanmycorolla might need these. He seems to have an issue. Do I really have to pick just one favorite product? So many great ones. I'll go with the one I use the most and has the most uses: ONR. BTW I do epic reviews. :)

I would agree with some of these while there are some products on the list I have no issue with. Are they my favorites? No. But that isn't to say they don't do the job to satisfaction. I also believe some of these products have a potential to be improperly used, thus a poor opinion. My...

I did include Perl on the previous test. It is a good dressing and I use it often when detailing but it won't hold a candle to some of the others in this test as far as durability.

Thank you. I have that problem too. I solved it by changing the cap... Harbor Freight has little 8oz. squeeze bottles that come in a 3 pack for about $3. The tops fit the UTTG bottle perfectly. It stays on and allows for better control onto an applicator. Pack of 3 8 oz. Storage Bottles...

Godsmack, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Black Sabbath, etc. I also find books on tape to be good during long polishing sessions. I have some good sales & leadership ones that are always good to review from time to time. There is no other time I would usually listen to those and be...

Of course, durability isn’t the only aspect to consider for a trim restorer. The striping issue with some plastic bumpers as they fade is a real eyesore. Here’s another of my body shop finds. Certain angles of light indicate these two have not completely eliminated the...

Because different plastics can cause different results I took advantage of any opportunity to test. This is a friend’s badly neglected BMW. I was told the trim was gray and not black so I did not take the Forever Black and ETR III kit along for this test. This...

Two days later, at the 2 week mark I decided to check on the products. The angle of the sun was very different than the initial shots which made some of them look more faded than they appeared in person. Looking strong. Barely can tell it was applied. Still visible but...

This has taken longer than planned to test and write up. I know there are many who have been anxiously awaiting this write up and to all of you, I apologize for the delay. After my first review of some trim restorers and dressings “Trim restorer/dressing showdown - Autopia Forums - Auto...

Thanks for the referral Jon & Al. Happy to help you out, John. 919-475-9013 [email protected]

I normally wouldn't call out a dealership for their lack of detailing prowess. I have handled several vehicles for customers after a dealership failed to satisfy on multiple attempts. One was even a salesman at said dealership. But when a dealership specializes in nothing but high end cars...

Not sure how tight of a pattern you are talking about, but it could be sanding marks in the paint. It is very common.

Simply rinse the car to lower the temperature of the surface. As long as it's not hot to the touch you'll be okay.

Thank you, all. Sometimes this job can feel a lot less like work. I enjoy when I get to spend time on the details like that.

I didn’t capture any true 50/50s. Here the C pillar has been compounded and the quarter panel has not. The second one should be obvious.   Wheels were removed for complete cleaning. Barrels were Opti-Coated. The faces were pitted and scratched and were being debated about refinishing...

This write up has been a long time coming. This detail was almost a year ago. After a hard drive crash and then getting married, all on top of normal day to day life, I haven’t had much time to do write ups. The owner of this car had purchased it about six months prior. He knew that it...

I hate UPS too. Have had packages damaged, delivered to wrong house, etc. What really gets me is they have actually repackaged an obviously damaged box that was leaking and still delivered it as it was beginning to leak out of the SECOND box. Really? Like I wasn't going to notice that?

My pappi said "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that HOT...ROD...LINCOLN"

I am a member of a few other forums. I have been slowly building my detail business over the past few years. I am from SoCal, but now living in Raleigh area. I will post some pics of my work soon. (may be redundant to those who know me from other forums). Looking forward to learning more and...
