Glad to see my name up there. I was worried that ya didn't get my money. :dblthumb2: I don't know why someone would get bent out of shape because they want to put on an event showcasing their products. Makes no sense at all. If I went to something called just "detail weekend" with the...

I always just put soapy water on it and let it sit and maybe spray a bit of water to keep it from drying. Seems to work for me.

I am a huge Jaguar fan. Never bought one thought. Always need another sports car. Well got plenty of this so a classic luxury jag in in my near future. :dblthumb2: Anyways I got the chance last summer to take a new jaguar XFR and XKR out on the race track. What fun cars.

I've been trying to learn as much as I can over the last few years and always testing new stuff. Today I used white diamond glaze for the first time. Applied and buffed with the PC and I meg polishing pad. Clearly this was the missing link in my detailing process. The car looks...

Thanks for the repiles and advice. I will have to try the cobra blue and after looking at the links and the recommendations to try the grout songes I want to try those and cutting them to make them cubed like the others. That would be cool is a $2 sponge can work as good or better then more...

Just wanted to get some opinions on what you think the best sponge, mit etc you like for washing your car. I am using a wool wash mit right now but it never dries and is sort of a funky mess. I would rather have something that doesn't sit like a funky mess all the time. I was thinking about...

I got a glass polishing kit and pads to go with my griots polisher and there smaller polisher. I didn't have many scratches in the windsheild but pits from doing those fun runs with the other exotic cars. They take to the sides of the roads sometimes and spit up all those small particles of...

I should have taken a camera last night. I won't see the car until we start working on it. Also the top is like a black vynil type top and I put some black magic on it and it just sucked it up like a sponge. I have some Mother back to black I can use but like I said I am open to...

Hey guys. We just got a new member to our little 914 club and are gonna try and restore the paint in a few weeks. I'm rather excited because just the little test I did last night showed we can probably get it looking 10 times better. First the paint. It's 37 year old and original. The top...

Hi guys I was just curious about your take on getting just a base coat or getting a base coat and a clear coat. My gut it telling me to go with just a single stage paint. I was thinking of painting my car british racing green. It just seems to me in the future if I need to repair the...

I usually detail friends sports cars that are pretty dam nice already when they come to me. Today I detailed a girls beatup honda civic. It was alot of work and not worth it if it wasn't for the alterior motives. :D But it was kind of rewarding to see something so bad and when I was done...

Gonna keep my cars under covers in the heated garage. Have 2 craooy work vans for going shopping and such. Take my girlfriends accord when we go out. :) Been using NXT 2.0 with mothers reflections and top coat on that.

Yeah I heard somewhere else that the clear on this car is really hard. I will try another polish. I heard good things about the 105. I am happy with the polisher but year the rest of the products I feel are not acceptable. I should have ordered here. The solstice is my daily driver but I...

Sorry if I brought a old post back up but this was just to funny. I am learning myself and it's sad that what I see from most detailers is jobs like this. I live next to a so called detail shop that sure enough uses wool pads and heavy cleaners and just scraps away the dirt and everything...

Hey guys I just got a griots polishing kit. I know they aren't considered the best around here but I like their aproach to car car. Anyways I am testing out there polish on my yellow solstice with there polisher and polish #3. My car looks pretty good but when I get it in my garage under the...

Well I would like to drive it right away I imagine since it's been off the road for a year. So although I don't have any plans to drive anywhere I am sure I can make some excuses to drive it :) I am not exact on the paint color but I beleive it's called Alaska Blue Metalic. I thought about...

Just wondering if I should let it go untouched for a certain amount of time or apply a certain product right away to protect it. Just wondering what I should do if anything. It's just a garage kept weekend car that doesn't seem rain or the cold. In the long run I am more interested in...

I used to think it didn't matter and just picked up some cheap crap at the autozone. It is pretty bad and leaves residue all over the car. So now I save a few $$$s on soap I have to go over it with detailer to get it off. Gonna go pick up some gold class tonight.

Thanks I lived here for about a year. I swore I would never live in NJ after living in ScotchPlains for a year as a kid. Never say never I guess. But it's pretty nice where I am. Living pretty care free at the moment.

Hey guys I have been stalking this site for awhile now. Decieded I really wanted to learn how to detail and take care of cars this year. I don't do this stuff for a living but I do pick up people needing there car cleaned up quite often. Usualy 3-4 cars a week. Not alot but it's enough to...
