I see a LOT of threads looking for cleaning suggestions on various things, and in many cases it is something I would simply just pressure wash. I know some people drag out a pressure washer for pre-rinsing or foam blasting. That's not what I mean. Who actually uses one for all the MANY things...

Background (for you readers): A regular client of mine recently purchased himself a new toy and wanted me to clean it up for him. It was purchased from a used car dealer and I don't think they cleaned it up any. Doesn't matter, it would have ended up at my place anyhow. Customer's Goal: To...

I see quite a few people talk about difficulties with dilution ratio's. So, I figure I would just lay down the simple solution that will work every time for those who haven't quite gotten it figured out. It doesn't matter what your end amount of diluted product will be - the basic formula...

Back at the end of April a Tornado destroyed my hometown (Ringgold, GA) and I have worked on a few of the cars from the storm. It's pretty crazy to go through an interior and throw away the pieces of shingles, pipe, and lumber before you start on it. Anyhow, here's a few of the pics from a...

How many of our non-full timers are detailing this weekend? Here in Northwest GA the weather is unreal! Low humidity (for now) and Mid-High 70's. Im the MAN After a seemingly too long and harsh winter, I think it is now time here. Roz and I are tag teaming a couple of cars tomorrow and I...

Finally got around to cleaning up the car the other day and snapping a few pics. This was just a wash and AquaWax session, nothing major. My favorite of the set - good color captured. Just sharing pics of the car really. Hope you like it. DLB

First off - hello again to everyone. It's been a couple of months I guess since I posted last. Work has had me busy and I just haven't had time to hit the forums. Anyhow - here's a 1995 Black Nissan Altima. It's still in progress, hence no full shots. Stuff I did and what I have use to this...

[Satire]: How to Refrain from Posting I have noticed there are times when people get caught up in emotion, and just can't help putting in an opinion on something. While I know we all have those (opinions), there are times when it is not beneficial to post them. So, I am here to show you...

Just some thought's and observation's about Car Wash Soaps There has been more than 1 thread on the subject, so I thought I'd make this one for open discussion. I made this chart a while back for a thread where someone was looking at various soaps. This list is sorted by price per ounce. I...

Not that it is a big deal, but logging in to the store (not the forum) is a rather slow process for me (on different computers with different ISP's). It looks like there is a redirect that happens when you login, and that takes some time (we are talking seconds here). Then it just has a little...

Thought a little comic relief every now and then would be nice. KEEP IT CLEAN! This thread will be gone in no time if people start posting objectionable material. I think you probably know what PG-13 is... I'll start. Baptist Cowboy A cowboy, who has moved to Wyoming from Texas, walks...

1987 Jeep Cherokee Black Single Stage Paint - Mostly original, some portions repainted. 220,000 MILES! That's a lot of stuff to screw up your paint. A friend of the family bought this for his son as a Christmas gift, and wanted it to look good on Christmas Morning. Well, it needs a few...

Mineral Spirits versus IPA Is oderless mineral spirits just as safe and effective to use as a 50/50 IPA wipedown? Plus' or minus' to either one? I had some streaking issues with 50/50 IPA on some black paint, so I switched over to the mineral spirits (I had some in the garage). Seems to be...

Wolfgang 8 oz. Swirl Remover Combo Wolfgang 16 oz. Swirl Remover Combo I am reviewing the Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0 (WG TSR) and the Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0 (WG FG). From my understanding, these two products are meant to be used in conjunction with one another in order to...

This is my mom’s daily driver. Lucky for me, mom is almost as DO about her car as I am. She has only done hand washes on it with quality car soap, dries it after washing, wipes the jambs, and keeps the interior extremely clean (even after hauling the grandkids). So, this wasn’t too bad a job...

Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine This is a product I had wanted to try for a while, but had just never pulled the trigger on. Now I am thinking, WHY DID I WAIT? I have read several reviews and how-to's on this product, but for the sake of fair reviewing, used it as directed on the instructions...
