    First application Klasse Twins - have question for anybody who's used AIO & SG?

    My concern was that I didn't apply enough Klasse product. Or that the lubricant from Clay treatment was keeping the product from bonding to paint. I just buffed the panel after claybar and went straight to Klasse Twins.

    I did my test application of Klasse Twins tonight. 1) I washed a panel 2) Used Mothers Clay Bar Kit. Clay went smoothely. Being my first clay, the process went easier than I had anticipated. I made sure to use plenty of lubricant during the process. When I got done, the panel was smoothe...

    How To: Detail Your Engine Like a Professional

    Curious what kindof mess this leaves under the car when done? If someone were to do this on a home driveway, would it leave a greasy mess of gunk that a little rain or hose could not remove. Or is it just a bit of dirt that needs to be hosed away? I'd like to detail my engine...

    rusted rock chips

    I had a similar situation recently and was a bit adventuresome. I got some green auto tape to surround the scuff really tight and sanded the rust off using 1000 grit sandpaper. I sanded into the edge of the chip a little to get any rust that might be under the chip. Then re-taped the chip...

    What should I use to get rid of tar on bottom of car body

    Car Care is something I've recently picked up. Washed a friend's truck today, and while wiping the lower part of the truck, I found a bunch of splattered black stuff. Probably tar from the road if I had to guess. It wasn't alot, but it was all across the bottom of both sides. Macguiar's...

    What's a good weekly wheel cleaner ( inexpensive ) APC cleaner, or other suggestions?

    I've read about that. It's what led to starting this thread. I'm going to play around with sealing the wheels this winter to see what kindof results I get and I'll know more by spring. The cleaner I have been using is safe for Aluminum wheels. Was hoping to get an alternative for it that...

    What's a good weekly wheel cleaner ( inexpensive ) APC cleaner, or other suggestions?

    I just started taking care of a few cars. Been using Eagle Aluminum wheel cleaner that I picked up @ Autozone and the wheels look shiny and great after cleaning. Needed a little more agitating that I'd like, but it was a first wash, and I don't think weekly washes will be as bad at the first...

    I inspected the paint when washed the car last weekend. There are some very minor swirls a little roughness in the paint for the Clay Bar to smooth out. The car hasn't been run through any automatic car washes, so any minor scratches are from mother nature & a hand sponge & hand drying. I'm...
