    Anyone switch to the ONE-bucket method?

    I've been using the two-bucket method for washing cars for many years. However, I'm starting to notice on YouTube that many detailers have moved to the one-bucket method whereby they no longer use a wash mitt and instead dump like 20 microfiber towels in the wash bucket. They use 1 microfiber...

    Wash and wax and then adding ceramic wax question

    If you wash a car with Dawn Ultra to get off the current wax and then clay it, which provides more protection? A) Adding a single layer of ceramic wax (like a Turtle Wax or Meguiar's) or B) washing again with a Meguiar's Wash and Wax and then adding the ceramic wax? I'm wondering if the...

    Electric Pressure Washer: How does PSI and GPM translate to foam?

    Does anyone know what the "sweet spot" is for gaining the best foam when it comes to looking at pressure washers and their PSI and GPM ratings? And just to be clear, I'm not referring to their advertised PSI, since those seem to be heavily inflated in most cases, but when testing with a gauge...

    What is your "go to" clay product nowadays?

    I've never been a fan of the claying process. I have black metallic car and although the clay makes the paint feel incredible, I will occasionally leave waxy clay streaks by accident even if I'm lubricating considerably. They can be buffed out, but it is time-consuming. My car is now due for...

However, at around 20,000 miles I must have hit something strange on the road. I never even heard it, but eventually noticed this rectangular...

    What is the best product for polishing exhaust tips?

    I just washed all my Detailing Towels with Fabric Softner

    I just messed up. I have a number of high-end micro fiber towels and cotton towels. I wanted to get a "clean slate" with all of them so I went to wash them. I've never used fabric softner on them before because of concerns around swirl marks or losing the absorption in the MF towels. Well, I...

    Garaged daily driver...what to do?

    I just changed vehicles from a 2006 BMW 750LI to a Black (Black Metallic) on Black Lincoln MKS (twin turbo). I love this car. I bought it used (9000 miles) from the dealer, but the paint appears to be perfect (not even the slightest scratch or swirl mark). When I picked it up from the dealer...
