the front wiper cowl of my supra was painted by a previous owner, it was a terrible job, auto hobby store paint so the clear cracked and peeled terribly on it. i was planning on stripping it and just repainting it the same color as the car, but after stripping it it would look just as good in...

should i be happy or upset that the microfiber kit i ordered (cm-920) contained two 16x24 gold plush towels (320gram) instead of the two supreme 530 that it showed?

i just got my order, i requested a sample of wolgang leather conditioner, i thought i was going to get the same thing i'd received before, but this is completely different, before the WG leather conditioner smelled EXACTLY like Zaino z-10, and also Hawaiian island leather creme (local hawaii...

so i purchased it because it looked interesting, like a good way to keep up an lsp without having to go with a polish every time. supposed to clean and glaze, simple enough. followed the directions and put 3-4 dime size dots, and worked the area, and when you go to remove its like the product...

anyone who knows these two products, what are the differences? i've heard people using 34 to wipe away polish and check work, but it says it contains gloss enhancers. same for d155. what would the difference between these two be for people who know them? TIA

so i purchased the cheaper mcculloch 1275 which still offers pretty close to the same specs as the bigger ones they sell. but i see people dropping 800-2500 on machines that do have nicer attachments, but also have steam ranging from 50-120 psi and up to 350F temps. when do you really need to...

used it again today, this time i did 2 application. it was extremely easy to use, very slick application the second coating. looks like it increases shine to the naked eye from a dirty, to washed/dried, to coated standpoint. i don't see any reason anyone should ever not like this product. i...

the powdercoat on my wheels has gotten scratched more than i would like it to be. hard to see the scratches with a poorly polished metal background (shop that did the work should have corrected it, but i ended up being stuck with it). i have plenty of polishes that i believe should work fine...

you know, the air dry filter gun. i remember before i ever got into detailing i used to have this gun. and a bunch of soap and filters for it. i thought it was awesome because it really did do a good job at preventing water spots, i could wash my car in the sun, using the soap gun feature to...

of course you could throw a sealant or wax or anything, and it will be super shiny for the first few days, but how long will it last without being applied properly? i've run into a conundrum of sorts in my head, thinking about my early times in doing detailing related things, and trying to...

broke and i've only used it 3 times now! :( bought the 10" brush, i like the brush, works great for washing the bigger vehicles, and gets nice and soft in hot water. but the telescoping pole i bought with it as a combo has already busted, what gives? anyone else have this problem? i picked...

for anyone who is interested, when i got my foamer i was disappointed with how you could only barely cover an engine bay without having to stop, remix your solution again or refill from your larger container. needed a way to use this to do a whole car dwell, mainly for my supra, not so much for...

i'm talking about a washboard type attachment, stick it on top of the existing grit guard , and allow you to easier rub your mit against it, i always run into the problem that i try to really clean it off on the grit guard, and the guard spins on me, not to mention doing a full arm dunk if you...

and came up with the results that megs gold class car wash doesnt really foam at all! i tested these soaps i had. megs gold class chemical guys citrus wash and gloss chemical guys glossworkz auto shampoo blackfire conditioning shampoo (sample) detailer's pro xtreme foam formula (sample) and...

Figured i would post this here for the people interested is the tools of detailing. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/81494-homemade-tornador-foam-nozzle-25-dollars.html made this and the writeup for the community, enjoy. :buffing:

25 is of course the price to just create the foamer attachment, if you are doing everything together, creating the entire setup will cost just over 50 (gun included). to accomplish this, you'll need everything here. you can save money if you already have some pvc cement and primer like most...

not bad, works great in terms of making a ton of foam like advertised, i mostly wanted it for engine bays, wheels, and lsp stripping with prepsol (hi-temp product). but man, this thing blows throw product, i may have to make a large modified jug or container to attach to this thing.. its...

i first wanted a soap foam gun such as the gilmours style. then noticed there was a pressure washer one as well (i own a 3k psi pressure washer that i don't use for cars much). and then i see there is also a tornador foam gun that works off the solution and compressed air (i have a big enough...

read some of the threads so far and people seem to have been doing the same thing, either take your stuff inside during the winter, and hot summer days, or pray it stays good. anyone here ever turn an old fridge into a sensitive products storage unit? i would assume that the insulation in the...

well, as the title states, i'm tired of running into problems when going to shows. i do all my own detailing, but let my friend who actually has a detailing side business do the detail so i could help advertise for his business. ended up having quite a bit of dust for my liking on my car...
