    Leather care

    I've tried handfuls of leather cleaners & protectants and cannot seem to find one that really leaves the leather in any kind of "factory" condition. I've tried leather balms that leave streaks in the leather the next morning. Some make the leather seats incredibly slippery. Some of them come out...

    Who details their "detailer"?

    Whenever I'm done with a job, I quickly spray my polisher with simple soapy water before putting it away. I cannot stand polish "sling" and colored gel coating over the machines. Just curious if anyone else does this, or wears layers of sling as war paint.

    Mercedes Benz scratch tips?

    This past spring I detailed my entire E350, but had issues removing a scratch someone generously left down the side of the car. I have researched the MB ceramic clear, and have been looking at the Menzerna lineup. What do you recommend for product/pad/technique? I will be using a Meguiar's DA...

    Engine degreaser caused this

    I used an engine degreaser in hopes of removing some engine grime, but was left with a bunch of residue and damage I cannot get rid of.

    Winter/salt protection

    I recently bought an 08 F150 and want to make sure the paint is protected during this coming winter. The goal here is to prepare it now, and not do much more than a pressure wash to keep the salt off. I currently use various Meguires products for my "summer" car, and use Wolfgang 3.0 sealant. I...

    Need a better car cover

    Made the mistake of buying a cheaper "breatheable" cover for my car. The water gets through, along with dirt and leaves water/dirt spots all over the vehicle. Ive seen the Covercraft covers listed on here. Question is, will they (or any other brand) stop water from getting through?

    Detailed for 8 hours, 1 wash = swirls

    Spent all last weekend washing/detailing my car that came out really well. It rained this weekend, so i washed the car with a microfiber mitt, and then a green drying cloth that i got from this website, free, with an order. I get to work.... swirls everywhere. The mitt was brand new and never...
