    House Detailing!

    Just got my first house, still going back and forth on selecting a steamer. I really want one, just a lot of things to be considered to be upgraded or fixed. For those without steamers, any specific products you guys use on hardwood flooring? I'm getting them refinished next week

    Do you ever take yourself off on random drives?

    I have occasionally in the summer during night time. I drive through tunnels at high RPM just to hear my aftermarket exhaust :D Music to my ears.

    Saving car wash for later

    I have done it before. The suds and foam may disappear after a car wash but if you give the solution a good stir (or hose it), the suds and foam will return

    Avoid polishing gaps

    To polish my trunk I have it slightly opened. I put two water bottles to keep the trunk lip opened. For the hood I typically don't have to. To polish the rocker without burning the door's clearcoat, I open it and cover the opening with garbage bags.

    Could someone please talk me out of buying another black car!

    I sold my black lexus and purchased a blue one. It was a PITA to maintain but I loved the reflection. After correcting the paint and putting a coating on it, I really enjoyed the finish after a good wash. I think the reflection from a black car is the best and you can't beat that with another...

    Any advice for selling a car privately?

    I sold my car last year and it was a lot of work. I had it posted on a Saturday, the same evening I received an email and sold it to the same buyer within a week. My price was $3000-4000 over the average asking but as a fellow detailer, I provided all the details upfront. Car Prep - Two stage...

    For paint correction the size of a car, I would definitely invest in a DA polisher. It will make your job indefinitely easier and MUCH faster

    303 Aerospace or ArmorAll Original: Which Is Better?

    +1 I'm in the same boat. However I don't like to put anything on the steering wheel since whatever I put eventually gets back on my hands later.

    clay bar or prep towel?

    I HATE using clay bars. Ever since I got my nanoskin towel I never looked back. I have no issues use it along edges or any parts of a car. For how much time it saves me and ease of application, I was glad to pay more for the towel. The nanoskin sponges are the same technology but lower price...

    My Flex 3401 and its Mini-Me Idea for carrying.

    I got one too after watching one of his videos. It's actually not available in Canada but one of my friends went on a trip to the US brought it back for me. I had it since last summer and I have to say it's good quality for its price
