    Clay Towel vs Disc

    Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted and I'd appreciate some advice. My car needs a good decon. I already own clay as well as Ultima Elastrofoam block which works well but I keep hearing the praises Nanoskin, PolyShave, and others so I have a question. I can't decide between a decon...

    Best overall WOWA for Longevity and Ease of Application?

    Just want to say thanks to all of you who replied. I've told my buddy to go with WG. I've used UPGP before and it can be finicky (streaky) on black paint if too much is used, and I'm afraid my buddy might have a learning curve (will take him a while to realize just how little of this type of...

    Best overall WOWA for Longevity and Ease of Application?

    I am looking for a WOWA sealant for a buddy who just purchased a new vehicle, wants to start washing it himself, and wants an easy way to keep the paint protected. I've explained to him how WOWA sealants work and he seems to like the "ease of use" factor that they offer. I've used Ultima Paint...

    Critical Details: WeatherTech FloorLiners Review - Interior Car Detailing

    I'm in the restaurant business and often jump into the car with grease/soil from the restaurant floor. Have had Weather Tech's since 2008--five years old now--and they still clean up well. I'd certainly recommend them.

    The "What do you do for a living?" question

    Own 2 restaurants by day, release stress by detailing my own vehicles by night. Somehow this thread reminds me of my high school job too many years ago now. Played in a rock band. Every week, we posed as a booking agency and called around to several places where we wanted to work. We'd give...

    Hi guys, One aspect of my vehicle (2010 Acura TL) that has been bugging me is the rusty rotors which seems to be a common problem with Acura. Below are a couple of photos of my wheels to show you what I'm talking about (sorry for the dirty wheels...has been snowing and salty up here in...

    Keeping the car 'clean' in the winter

    Waterless wash A method used to wash the car without using water, usually just using a spray bottle filled with detail spray or filled with waterless wash solution.

    Keeping the car 'clean' in the winter

    Personally, I do just what you mentioned. I live in Wisconsin where it is very cold and cars are caked in dirt and road salt all winter long--too thick, IMHO, to trust that you can spray off the crap and use a rinseless wash without causing swirls. This year, my strategy was to apply a...

    Best vacuum for under $40?

    +1 for this one. I use the same one except mine isn't Lowes branded. Shop Vac makes the exact same vacuum under their own brand, available at Amazon or many hardware stores around $40 -$50. I agree with swanicyouth -- plenty of suction. I did purchase a longer hose for mine so it can sit...

    chemicals and cold

    Not sure what the correct answer is but it makes sense to me to keep everything inside the house once heating season begins.

    Is it fine to use Rinseless wash on Cquartz coating?

    Where can we get more specifics about what Andy said? Can't seem to find a way to contact him directly and would certainly like to know if his comments are in a forum somewhere. As somebody who's car is coated and who also loves products like UWW+, I'd love to learn more about this.

    Will SF4500 Remove a Wax or a Coating?

    Guys, I'd like to know what you think about this? I'm pretty confident that polishing with SF4500 will remove any carnuba wax or most sealants such as WGDGPS (if not, then please correct me and educate me). My question is, do you think polishing with SF4500 is enough to remove a coating such...
