    Is this thing working right?

    I got my new "snow" gun to try out with car washing. This is the wolfgang "snow gun" I have the exact soap, mixed to the proper dilution. My compressor is set to 100psi when full, and drops into the proper pressure range as soon as you start using it. This thing isnt foaming the car like it...

    A legitimate question!

    I'm watching a lot of these instructional detailing videos lately and I notice they NEVER use a power washer. Always a garden hose with hard water. ... Why? I have used a powerwasher on hundreds of cars every year for many years and have never, ever caused any damage, blemish, or otherwise...

    Quick scratch removal

People come in all the time with one or two scratches to fix which you can do quickly and save them hundreds of dollars at a body shop.

    "My car doesn't need wax"

    I hear this quite regularly from customers that come in to get their car detailed. They opt for the "interior only " package and leave their oxidized, swirlmark covered exterior to the elements. Many car dealers are telling people that the car has a special "coating" (clear coat?) that does not...

    Old classic pickup today

    Had a go at an old 93 F150. Must have done a good job because people were stopping to look at it! Truck before detailing: I couldnt believe the difference in color when I was done! Truck after detailing (QD,claybar,polish and wax, dress exterior black and polish chrome) Some contrast as it...

    What are you looking for in a good wax?

    I have tried many brands and types of wax, but when it comes down to it, all I really have to judge one type/brand from another is how easy it is to work with and how the car looks when I'm done, particularly with swirlmark coverage etc. I recently purchased some wax for no other reason than it...
