After purchasing Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant (WETS) and applying it to my faded wiper cowl on my F-150 and not getting the results that I was hoping for, 05xrunner was generous enough to send me a small sample of Ultima Tire and Trim guard (UTTG) to compare it to the WETS. Thanks again...

I really like using quick detail sprays to keep my truck looking new after washes and in between washes for light dust. I was just curious to see which Quick Detailer / Waterless Wash products everyone else has tried? These are the ones that I have tried at one time or another over the years...

The plastic wiper cowl on my F-150 was faded out, and last year I decided to compare Poorboys Trim Restorer to Black Wow which can be found in this thread. Poorboys Trim Restorer and Black Wow Comparison Both products held up reasonably well, but the Wiper Cowl was back to it's original faded...

First question: Will one tube of Opti-Coat 2.0 be enough for a first time user to cover a full size truck with an 8 foot bed, specifically my F-150? There is a lot of real estate to cover Second question: Would Opti-Coat 2.0 be a good choice for my style of daily driver maintenance? I...

These are threaded funnels that I have been using for several years now and thought I would share them with others. I think I found them at a flea market for less than a buck and I just think they work great for transferring bulk liquid products from gallon containers into smaller containers or...

Does anyone have a favorite tire brush? I'm looking for a new tire brush. I have been using the Meguiar's Versa Angle Tire brush for years on my truck tires, but I have grown tired of using it. It's a really good brush and it cleans tires well, but the bristles are just a little too stiff...

Roughly how long does it take you to do a detail (interior and exterior)? It always takes me at least 2 days, sometimes 3 days depending on the level of paint correction I do. Maybe I take too many breaks.... :) I did this Jeep Grand Cherokee for a relative last week and it took me 2...

I was out in the garage until Midnight last night working on this 2001 Grand Cherokee Laredo and then I was back out there again at 6:00am this morning to finish it up my 8:30am. This is the 2nd vehicle that I have done using the new DA Microfiber Correction System and I absolutely love it...

We had a few nice days over the last week so I decided to get out into the garage and give the new Meguiar's DA Microfiber Correction System a try. I have not done a full polish or compound on my entire truck in probably over a year, so it was due, especially now that winter is over and we...

Last month my neighbor asked me if I could buff out his Suburban and get the paint looking good again. He did not want a full detail. He only wanted the exterior paint worked on. After it was washed I took some pictures to show the general condition of the vehicle. There was a lot of swirls...

I just got this 85 Corvette into the shop last night. I have never worked on a corvette before and I know these have fiberglass bodies and I am wanting to know if there are any special steps I need to take in caring for this car vs all the other non-fiberglass cars I have worked on in the past...

Quick Question, Please. My neighbor just dropped me off their 1989 Volvo Coupe to detail and I was just getting ready to wash it and I just wanted to make 100% sure that All Wheel cleaner was indeed safe for ALL wheels, including this wheel. I have never cleaned wheels like these before and...

Poorboys Trim Restorer and Black Wow Comparison I was generously sent a sample of Poorboys Trim Restorer by mchess1 (thanks Jon) to compare with the Black Wow that I already had. Now for the Patient - My 2004 F150 with faded black plastic cowl and bed rails. Here is the current condition of...

PC Modification For Use Without The Handle Does anyone know off-hand what the thread size is on the PC 7424XP handle? I wanted to pick up a couple bolts on my way home today, but forgot to bring the handle with me to compare sizes with. I want to place the bolts where the handle screws in to...

I just got the new PC7424XP polisher and there was a small plastic washer in the bag with the wrench. I don't see it mentioned in the instructions anywhere, but I figure that it is meat to go between the backing plate and the free floating spindle assembly? Is this plastic washer necessary...

2002 Nissan Sentra Extreme Makeover - [Exterior Only]. This was my first major detail for cash. The 5 or 6 years leading up to this was mostly spent detailing my own vehicles or the occasional family members vehicle. It all began when I was at a pig roast over the 4th of July weekend...

A friend of mine dropped their car off to me the other night for me to buff out while they are on vacation. He wanted me to see what i can do to make it look better. It's a 2002 Nissan Sentra SER with over 100,000 miles that is starting to fade out. The next day I pulled the car outside and...

Does Autogeek sell the Meguiars 3" W63 rotary backing plate? I looked everywhere on the Autogeek site, but I could not find it?

I have about a half dozen Meguiar’s Detailer Line spray bottles that I have purchased through Autogeek and yesterday while out in the garage I went to grab my bottle of Last Touch and noticed that it was sitting in a puddle of Last Touch on the shelf. I picked up the bottle and wiped it off and...

Has anyone used the Brinkmann Maxfire Dual LED Spotlight? Was curious to know if anyone knows how it compares to the Dual Xenon spotlight. Brinkmann Maxfire Dual LED Spotlight
