    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    It wasn’t to bad until got out the IronX Snow Soap. Used my Kwazar with SONAX Fallout remover. Let dwell, washed, rinsed, washed again, rinsed, then clayed using Snow Foam the whole time. The SONAX smells great! Then mix that with the usual rotten eggs!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Just Opti-Seal for now. I think I want to try out IGL Premier though and will probably get some with my next order.

    Dirt that’s embedded

    A polish, compound, or cleaner wax/AIO should work, try the least aggressive first. I like to use a cleaner wax/AIO. You could also try an iron remover and a tar remover before if you want to try to remove as much as possible before polishing. The pads should be good for many uses, just...

    Mini reviews: 303 Tire and Rubber cleaner, 303 Tire Balm and Gyeon Essence

    I bought this back when they were BOGO because of this thread. I have not been able to have it look good after just one coat. I always have to go back and apply another coat to make it look good/even. It’s not a bad product and I like the look, but as a amateur detailer I prefer something...

    Wax ingredients, anything to be concerned with ?

    Mike P says most OTC waxes are “cleaner waxes”. This one seems to clean by just chemical action vs also being abrasive, unless they are just not listing the abrasives. No idea on the chemicals. Sad thing is you probably have more information on the ingredients in this wax than you’ll find...

    What he said, “it looks like black paint showing through the silver”. This is what my older Toyota rims look like in places and have seen similar on other vehicles.

    How do I get rid of 180 grit sand scratches

    I say at this point you may want to just polish it and see how it see how it looks after that. Just trying to get gloss back to it to make it less noticeable. Depending on how much you sanded with it, I would be concerned with how much clear is left there. Trying to completely remove the...

    Gift Certificate Questions

    I was thinking the same too, just not quite as exciting this year. My guess was it is because we’re missing Ol’ Saint “Nick”, but i had already forgotten about the other change. Nick did do a lot with the sales though.

    Show us your pet.

    It is!!! It’s been a while since we have had a dog. We had two labs (one very old, and one a little younger) but both had passed not long after we started having kids and figured another pet would be just too much at the time. Now that they are older two are 6 and 8, it’s seems like good...

    Could I use Autogeek’s gift certificates for the detailing boot camp.

    I believe they can. Once they are bought they are as good as cash.

    Gift Certificate Questions

    You just use the same code until the balance is used up. And like said above, don’t lose the email, but they will resend it to you if needed. I do believe you can use as many gift certificates as you need or have and can be used with any sale.

    Tire Cleaner hurt CQuartz on wheels?

    If you’d rather not get the cleaner on the wheels, you could make yourself a cheap disposable protector from a large enough piece of cardboard.

    What is this on the glass??

    I wonder if this is some clear coat overspray. Maybe from some previous work, or sitting in a backyard body shop or something. Or worse, someone did a quick job and didn’t mask off anything. I’d imagine it is also on the paint, you just may have a harder time seeing it. I kinda doubt the...
