Swapping caps on detailing products I like the Collinite#845 and am using it after polishing on the 2008 Tacoma I recently purchased. I have used it before and was reminded how difficult it is to dispense the proper amount. I was about to order a dispenser bottle with a flip up cap when...

I recently purchased a 2006 Mazda Miata MX5 GT which is in really good condition and only 34K miles. I have already cleaned and treated the top and clayed the paint. It appears that the paint is in good condition and I only found one small swirl in the paint. With that being said I believe...

Wife and I are headed to Las Vegas this week and I have tickets for Barrett Jackson Collector Car Auction on Friday. I can finally check this one off my bucket list. For those of you who have been, any tips or advice you can give would be appreciated.

is actually one bucket with a divider in the middle. It is especially useful when I'm on my walkboard detailing the top of a vehicle.

I have a 1990 Miata with the original paint. My research indicates the crystal white paint is single stage. I have used #7 on the car and for the most part it looks good. The lower section of the car on both sides had a "chip guard" applied from the factory. While led the rest of the car...

That's right. I recently purchased this 1990 Miata from the original owner. During my pre inspection he told me this is the original top. I just put the top up to clean (ONR since it wasn't really dirty) it and apply some protectant but now I'm having second thoughts. i messaged the original...

Working on the black trim underneath the windshield wipers on a 2013 Sienna today. Somehow the trim had faded and looked like it had some white spots on it. For some reason I decided to try a magic eraser and it made it worse. I had heard of the peanut butter trick so I taped off a portion of...

While detailing this engine bay I could not get these oil stains out of the top of the engine. I believe the material is cast aluminum. I cleaned the engine using Meguiars Engine Cleaner. How would you get the oil stains out?

I am retired from full time work so I detail part time from my shop. Because this is not a full time business I have never felt the need to invest in steam cleaners/extractors, at least not until I detailed the interior of this '02 Focus. The car belongs to my mechanic who took it in on trade...

I have a Cyclo Aqua soft carpet brush new I would like to trade for a new Grey ultra soft upholstery brush. Thanks

Maybe I have overlooked it but I have not found a thread that indicates it is for trading products only. I have one product I want to trade for another but do not see a thread that one can find by doing a search.

I took in a 2006 Jaguar S today and it has been neglected. I cleaned a small area of the wheel and this was left. It feels rough like sandpaper. Based on your experience can you tell what it is and what product have you used to remove it? TIA

I have tried several different drying towels but this one always works best for me. I want at least a couple more but the only problem is I don't know who made this particular one. It measures 30 x 36. Can anyone tell me so I can buy some more? TIA

I use this Jeepers roll around to detail the lower sections of vehicles I take in. I've had it for approximately 25 years and the original caster wheels were wore out. I went to Lowes and purchased some new ones and now it rolls around like new. My detailing supplies have been rolling/sliding...

While visiting my cousin in FL last year he surprised me by giving me a light meter. I thought to myself maybe I can use this when I do headlight restorations. Well I finally remembered to pull it out yesterday when I had some headlights to do. I've never used one so if you have any ideas...

Obviously in cold weather the many of the products we use, e.g. 845, 105, and 205 are not going to be as fluid. So sometimes I'll use the microwave to heat them up. Today I found out something that did not work. I needed to repair a couple of deep scratches on my '06 Tacoma and I did not...

I, like some of you, have denigrated the use of toothpaste to clear up headlights that are hazed and need to be restored. I tried Crest (which is what we had available) on the headlights of our '99 Crown Vic last year just to see if it would help. It did not. Then I learned on here the...

I recently purchased the GG 3" ROP and so far I'm impressed. I have done a couple headlight restores with it but this is the first time I've ever done any paint correction. I recently bought a '97 Harley FXSTC and after doing some repairs (after all it is 16 years old) I decided it was time to...

I can't take credit for this idea as I saw it on another one of my forums but it looked like a good solution to freeing up some space. I went to the local WM and found this over the door shoe rack. It seems to be made from quality material (time will tell) and was less than $10.00. I got...
