    How to rid my glass of phantoms!

    Unfortunately, I don't own a DA/Rotary tool. So, I'll try the white vinegar first since I have a gallon on it already. Then I'll look into other products that have been mentioned and am certainly intending to coat/seal with Aqualgel or the like. I'll try to take a picture(s) to share.

    First post, much confusion...where to start?

    Oh, well yeah, that'd be cool with me, but my wife would likely be a bit nervous about having a bunch of unknown OCD detailing nerds show up at our house, let alone potentially rubbing stuff all over our cars ;) Might be best if I meet up with some folks for coffee or lunch first :) Could even...

    Setec, I'm definitely interested in connecting with fellow locals and certainly would love to know when and where a spring detailing day might happen.

    Setec, I'll be talking with my friend this week about his process, etc. I appreciate your concern and certainly if I see anything like him cleaning pads on pavement, I'll not be taking my cars anywhere near him. He knows how intense I am about things be done properly. I did a bunch of electrical...

    Setec, I updated my post after you had read it, but yes, my guy is a member here. We go back quite a ways. I used to work on his Buick Grand National and hang out at racing events 10+ years ago. I will grab the Griots Car Wash stuff on my lunch break :) I totally understand what you're saying...

    Bill, I have checked out that chart and understand it as a base-line approach to the order of operations, thank you! Setec, my detailer friend is a member of this site. I've read through quite a number of posts, watched numerous videos and yes, I can tell that the core draw of this enterprise...

    First post, much confusion...where to start?

    I just bought a 2014 Sorento and am really excited to have a newer vehicle! I still have my previous vehicle of 12 years, a 1998 Honda Prelude (for sale :) ). With the new vehicle it reinvigorated me to assess my car cleaning regime and paraphernalia. I'm responsible for the care of the new...
