I know Intense direct sunlight is bad for paint. Tree sap is bad for paint. If you had the choice of parking your in direct sunlight or a Maple tree under the shade, which would be preferrable for protecting your paint and keeping a nice finish ( assuming you are doing the other things right...

a little too much iron in your diet?

I've seen some detail brush sets @ Autozone & O'Reillys. They have a Brass, Stainless Steel & nylon or Natural brush in the set. I can't figure out what the 2 metal brushes are used for. Everything I can think of in detailing involves " NOT SCRATCHING " the surfaces you are working on...

CC failure is what led me to this site. One question I haven't seen an answer to is : If I had been keeping a coat of sealant or wax regularly on the car for the past 10 years, would it have prevented CC failure, or is it something that just happens as cars age, whether you use Waxes...

I just did similar to above Clay Klass AIO 2 x Klasse SG 1 x collinite 915 Got a superb bead on my car this morning with the rain. Nice star pattern as the water dripped off the hood and sides were almost dry. I think the 5 KSG, and 3 collinite is overkill in layers. I'll share my thoughts...

3M Clear autobra. I think that would stop rock chips.

Whatever you do. Don't drop the clay. Clay ain't cheap and if ya drop it, you have to grab a new one so you don't scratch up your paint.

As a Fellow Newbie: I got some ONR b/c it's pretty inexpensive and a little goes a long way. I've only used it diluted as a quick detailer diluted right now, and it does a great job of cleaning the dirt off your car. I haven't used it as a Rinseless wash yet, but based on experience with QD, I...

How long does that Hyper Dressing last in the real world? I'm using Tire Wet right now and I'm pretty happy with the product. It's shiny and durable through some washes or rain. Really easy to keep a maintenance shine on the tires with 1 spray and wipe. The Hyper Dressing looks interesting...

I finished prepping my car for weekend and put on some Optimum no rinse Wash & Shine diluted to Quick Detail spray. Wanted to get used to cleaning products I'll use going into the winter. Left a nice pina colada smell on the car. Was surprised how little spray was needed to go over the car...

I've been experimenting with both Klasse and collinite. I did Klasse 1x KAIO, 2x KSG, 1xCollinite 915. I'm experimenting with various products to get a base of knowledge and also to protect for winter. My findings are these KAIO - Good deep cleaning after Claybar. Takes off the final...

I'm a newbie to Klasse, but applied KAIO and 2x SG coats for the first time recently. If you keep the coats of SG thin ( apply with moist foam applicator ), it shouldn't be tough to remove at all with just a MF towel. I was expecting to use QD to remove it, but the product just buffed out...

Van Hagar - I can't drive 55

Agreed, He's complaining b/c there was a little water in the door jambs. From Yelp, it looks like more of a high volume hand car wash shop than a detail shop. Simon's Shine Shop - DePaul - Chicago, IL

I very recently switched from spraying on to tire to using an applicator and I'm much happier. More efficient use of product, and no streaks or drips. With a dry tire, that hasn't been using any protectant for a long time, it takes a few coats ( 3 or 4 thin coats ) to get a shine. But once...

Looks great for a 94. How was the application of that 476. Was it tough to remove.

I probably spent that time cleaning the 4 Wheels without dressing or fenderwells.

I used Autozone's wheel scrubber. It looked somewhat like this but my brush is a little more dense with the bristles. I wasn't able to remove all the grime without using a cotton t-shirt rag and getting my fingers in between the tough spots with a little cleaning product on the cotton...

I've worked on 3 really badly neglected sets of factory painted Aluminum wheels lately. Started using Eagle One product I picked up locally. Today I tried the Griots HD wheel cleaner. Sprayed Griots HD cleaner liberally, and let it set. It dissolved some of the grime, but never changed to...

I picked one of these up. Eagle One sells em as a 2 pack. So far, works great. I'm storing it in a zip bag ( to keep it primed ) and tracking to see how long it lasts before the foam breaksdown. Seems like the pad was thirsty to prime. But once primed, just 1 or 2 pump spray to get to a...
