    Any advice on cleaning / polishing aluminium ?

    You don't really need special tools to polish metal, I just have a little jar of mothers mag/aluminum polish and some microfibers. I don't know if Autogeek sells a product like it but nevr-dull works great on most metals. It's like a giant cotton ball with polish. Just rip a little piece off...

    60 gallon air compressor? Best for shop?

    Another vote for "as big as you can." Our 60 at work is running constantly because we have a lot of hard lines and connections, and it seems that there is always at least one person using an air tool at a time, and often times 3 or more. And inevitably there is a leaky air hose hooked up slow...

    what's your weather currently like?

    Spring comes for two weeks in late may, and then summer hits. I still have memories of going out plowing in a blizzard with my dad as a kid in mid April.

    what's your weather currently like?

    Too cold to clean anything outside the vehicle With the city street parking, massive snow piles, and no room, the most I've been able to do is run through a touchless. No joke, I'm having detailing withdrawals. Can't wait to move back home this summer, and actually be able to wash something...

    Post Your Most Uneducated Comments Ever Received In Detailing History

    It's a truck! why are you wasting time and money on it? Sure bud, who are you going to hire, the guy with a rusted out, scratched to hell, filthy truck filled with junk or the guy with a pristine vehicle filled with well-cared for tools? And I'll tell those big rig guys you said they need to...

    Work Truck Fleet- Sealant questions

    Usually the trucks are washed with a pressure washer with a fairly low pressure tip and an autozone contraption, kinda like a knobby mit on a pole. I've been thinking that a foam cannon would be a good addition to the pw, as to reduce the amount of times people feel the need to use a...

    Work Truck Fleet- Sealant questions

    We have a fleet of around 30 trucks at work, all black, all stored outdoors. Will 2-3 applications of a long lasting sealant per year keep the paint in decent condition? Obviously it won't be perfect but we were thinking compound, polish, seal most of the trucks, and then reaply sealant at the...

    Trashcan Detailing!

    I have compounded both. The fiberglass in mine started to yellow so i hit it with a 3m marine fiberglass/gelcoat polish. It's only slippery for the first shower or so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Trashcan Detailing!

    Wow, Didn't expect the responses I got. I don't think it's that weird to hit them with a little shine every once in a while. Back when I worked at a restaurant, we would spray the black plastic cans with interior cleaner to keep them looking new. I just do the same to the ones I have at home so...

    Trashcan Detailing!

    I know that I can't be the only one who shines up their trashcans. I had, in the past, been using armor all interior to coat the trashcans after I cleaned them. I'm looking for new options. What do the rest of you use? I had been thinking about going to either V.R.P. or a different interior product.

    Thanks, that's a great idea. I'll be staying at a house for one of the weeks, so I will have the time and space to wash and wax everything. I like the onr idea and will definitely do that week one.

    Headed south to spend two weeks in the Sunshine State. I will definitely wash the car a few times while on the road; What should I bring to get the best parking garage wash I can? I will have access to a hose for one week, but the first week I will need to seek out a DIY carwash. So far, my...
