    New Black Tesla Model 3 Detail Plan- Need Input

    After a much longer wait than anticipated, we finally received the car, and got it done. The weather was much better than anticipated so m concerns about application and high heat, were assuaged. Application was pretty easy, I wish I had a smaller diameter backer and pads for some of the...

    New Black Tesla Model 3 Detail Plan- Need Input

    I have pretty much assembled everything I need. I am still trying to figure out with pad to use with the essence. I have a few spider honey pro finishing pads. Will those work or should I go ahead and order some of the car pro white polish pads?

    New Black Tesla Model 3 Detail Plan- Need Input

    Alright, I'm going to give the combo a go. Which pad on a PC polisher do you recommend? Also what wash (use foam gun and 2 bucket) and quick detailer for weekly maintenance? I have some v07 left, but that is from CG.

    New Black Tesla Model 3 Detail Plan- Need Input

    Thanks. I am looking at the products you suggested. I'm pretty apprehensive to apply a ceramic coating as it has been several years since I have done any detailing. The extremely high humidity and heat right now are giving me a little pause in transitioning from the products I know to that...

    New Black Tesla Model 3 Detail Plan- Need Input

    I should still wait at least a month after receiving the vehicle before polishing correct?

    New Black Tesla Model 3 Detail Plan- Need Input

    Did you think the finish had a better look than the CG stack that I have above? The reason I ask, if I used the wolfgang stack years back and the results were, meh, on our black cars compared to the CG. The wolfgang lasted much longer, but since I don't mind doing full detail every three...

    New Black Tesla Model 3 Detail Plan- Need Input

    Hello, We are trading in a Jeep for a Tesla, and I will be detailing this car again. We didn't really do that much beside seal the jeep because of the beating it was taking. This will be a daily driver car, but I want to keep an amazing deep black shine on this car. I went back through my...

    Still filthy after power wash/foam cannon

    thanks, I have been skipping the second step it appears. Luckily, its been raining for 3 months straight and the cars haven't really been washed since fall so I have done that much damage. I will update my methods and post back if there are still issues.

    Still filthy after power wash/foam cannon

    This is exactly what I thought. I will get a new mitt on the way and see what happens, or I may just go back to two bucket. The heat is already coming and it always seemed to work better when I washed 1 side, dried it, then went to the next side on our black cars, otherwise I get water spots.

    Still filthy after power wash/foam cannon

    I have been using a pressure washer/foam cannon, or trying to for some time. I keep having different issues that pop up that make it less convenient than a traditional two buck wash. The problem lately is that after a good blast with the pressure washer and then a thick coat of foam, the truck...

    Help With MTM Foam Cannon

    Hi there, I have been using an MTM foam cannon for a few months and seem to occasionally have problems with no foam coming out unless it is cranked all the way to maximum setting. Now, I am getting none. Is there a way to disassemble the unit for cleaning, or do I just have a bad unit?

    Chemical Guys Customer Service Sucks

    I have ordered through them and prime, everything always shows up in a good box, wrapped in plastic. No leaks, no problems. Same as when I order through AG. Maybe they just had a bad day. Their email support is bad though. However, their products are cheap, easy to use, and give me good...

    Took my wheels to the local tire shop

    You never know, just from your information it sounds pretty open and shut. Time stamped photos and damage consistent with negligence is apparent, or maybe even conversion if the wheels where swapped. There is always some attorney hanging around that might pick something up to make a few extra...

    The New M4 - Rated M Video

    It looks so awesome when clean. I had one in the 325i, loved it. Now this is here... And it complicates my next purchase big time, this with a hardtop convertible is exactly what I have been waiting for.

    Tire Cleaners and Finish Recommendations

    I ordered the wolfgang tire care kit from AG. It seems to do just what you are asking for. I use the spray, wait 30-45 seconds, agitate withe boars head brush and then rinse off. I use v7 on the wheel and then the wolfgang tire gel on the tires. They both work well and leave a pretty nice...

    Took my wheels to the local tire shop

    I agree, this sounds like something an attorney can wrap up in a day or two, and usually the losing side pays for attorney fees. Usually though, the threat of litigation gets people moving. If you have time stamped photos, and there is nothing else to this story, you are probably in pretty...

    Took my wheels to the local tire shop

    I would tell them you are filing the small claim, or find a lawyer buddy to help you. If your photos are time stamped in anyway, there is no question they should repair them. I don't know the law in your area, but you are typically entitled to the fair market value of the property at the time...

    Questions after first detail attempt

    Before I used blacklight it looked like sever swirls, I just took a look and they are mostly filled in. When I use a strong cg citrus wash and gloss mix to strip everything off, I will take before and after pics. Is there anything else that I'm missing?
