    New Black Yukon and the usual stuff

    Just brought home a new black Yukon and am considering putting a ceramic coating on it. It's the brand new family hauler, and we've got three small children, so I want to do everything I can to keep it looking good. I've been reading just a bit on the coatings and want to take advantage of the...

    WG Uber as a touch up?

    So this time last year, I went through all the WG steps to get my black Mustang looking good. I topped it with Fuzion, then took it to the beach. Afterwards, the car has sat in my dad's garage for the past year. Since I went the full gamut last year, I really don't feel the need to go through it...

    Wolfgang FG or PPE?

    My Mustang gets a deep detail once a year, the rest of the time it stays garaged. (It's amazing what small kids do to your free time......) Last year I went through the Blackfire gauntlet of product, this year I'm going back to Wolfgang. Yesterday I gave her a good, sudsy, bath with CG citrus...

    Blackfire polish leaving a haze......

    Finally decided to give my car a much needed detailing today. After everything was washed and dried off, I got to inspecting the paint condition. Surprisingly, it wasn't bad. Other than the new water spots from someone having to stop in the middle of washing to go get gas for the pressure...

    Looking for a detailer in the Asheville, NC area

    Wax or sealent after compound?

    MUCH to my dismay, I am not going to have the time to fully finish detailing my car before the show. Just about to finish up with Blackfire SRC Compound, and am debating on my next course of action. Not sure whether I should throw a coat of wax on top, or seal it. As it stands, I don't think I...

    First FULL detail with Blackfire, does my gameplan make sense?

    Been a long time user of the Wolfgang line, and LOVED it. Though, the bug started biting me and I wanted to try out the Blackfire line. So I picked up a couple items from the series, then my wife bought me the rest of it. :props: Getting ready to set in and realized I am not entirely sure what...

    How do you guys stay comfortable?

    One apprehension I always have about detailing is how uncomfortable it can get at times. This past weekend I decided to start a fairly in depth detail of my Mustang, and I realized I didn't have a stool to roll around on. So I ran to Lowes and decided to invest in China and picked up a Kobalt...

    Car is at the body shop, not much time to detail..

    Have a car show coming up next Thursday and was planning on picking up my Mustang from the body shop and spending the week detailing her. Through a series of unfortunate events, it doesn't look like I will be able to pick her up until Tuesday or Wednesday. Since I am on somewhat of a time...

    Overspray removal, good OTC product suggestions?

    Through a series of unfortunate events, my black Mustang got misted with a fine layer of white overspray. Come Saturday, my car and I are going to be in a big holiday parade, and I need to get her shining. I need a good recommendation for an over the counter polish or compound to remove the...

    Its been a year since the great detail

    And it is now time again for Mustang Week, so Helleanor has to be detailed again. Last year I ran her through the works; took her apart, washed, clayed, polished, de-swirled, glazed, sealed, then waxed. For this years show, I was going to take a gray pad and run over her with some WG paintwork...

    MF towels getting linty...?

    A few of my towels, even some of my newer ones, are beginning to leave small, individual threads behind. I say lint, but its more like the towels are shedding, and with my car being black, it is super noticeable. To me anyhow. I've been washing them with Tide, no softener, no dryer sheets, what...

    Dusting a black car

    I've been using a California Duster for awhile now, but I have always had to follow with a QD because of the oily residue that gets left behind. I've kept this thing wrapped in newspaper for days on end trying to get rid of the excess oil, but to no avail. I want to know if there is any other...

    1975 Pontiac Grand Ville leather interior cleaning

    I am going to be working on a 75 Grand Ville, and it has white leather interior. From what I could tell, it is coated leather, and is in dire need of some cleaning. After doing some looking around on here for what would work, I was still unsure of what would be ideal for this job since this is...

    For those that have a business in detailing...

    When you are working on a car, what do you do as far as keeping it out of the sunlight? I've gotten comfortable detailing my car, and have done all my families cars. Wash, clay, cleanse, polish, wax, the whole gamut. Every time I have had the advantage of using my fathers storage bay behind...

    I believe in Fuzion.....

    I knew I was going to take the plunge at some point after I got the newsletter announcing the new product. So I figured I might as well take it before the first car show of the year, and go looking as good as possible. Products purchased: WG Total Swirl Remover 3.0 and the Finishing Glaze 3.0...

    Cleaning flat black?

    I tried searching and did not come up with anything, so here I go. A couple places on my car; the trunk panel, front chin spoiler, are painted in a flat or matte black. Its been not quite a year, and its starting to show water marks and spots where bugs have decided to end their lives. The...

    My schmitt is dead after three washes?

    I bought it about a month ago, and was really digging it the first time I used it. The next time I went to wash my car, I noticed the glue was letting go around the edges. Well last week, the entire thing came apart:confused: I still used it, but its a little disappointing that it fell apart, as...

    Disappointed with ASR, swirls are still there...

    I bought some ASR and AFP about a year ago to use on my Mustang, and it worked pretty well. Fast forward, and since that day a lot has changed with my car. It got totally repainted about 7 months ago, with a concourse level paint job and the entire car now has a mirror finish. Which really helps...

    How often and what order?

    A couple weeks ago, I heavily detailed my car for a show. Washed it, used some Paintwork Cleansing Lotion, then hit it with XMT 360 and topped it off with Souveran Paste. Oh man, it was shimmering:cheers: I was fully impressed with the 360, though there were still some minor swirls left behind...
