    Riccardo Clay?

    I've been away from the detailing world for about 5 year and just getting back into it. Since I'm back I noticed Riccardo clay is available in the US. Why isn't everyone using this stuff? When it wasn't available its all people talked about when the subject of clay came up. Does it not live...

    Non-accessible Machine Area Technique/Products?

    I've been out of the detailing world for about 5 years. A lot has changed and gotten so much better. The Rupes 15 I got in the other day is amazing, I doubt I'll use my rotary machines much now. I would like to know what would be the best technique and products to use for areas that can't be...
