    Scotch blue painters tape left crap everywhere!

    My Parents picked up a 2014 Subaru Forester in Dark Charcoal Metallic. I won't get in to how bad the paint was(It was owned by a guy who either washed it with sandpaper or was addicted to dry washing LOL). Anyway, I was out of the usual painters tape that I normally use(3m I think, always leaves...

    It is that time of year again! '94 Civic Hatch Winter prep

    I haven't surfed this forum or any detailing forums for a while. We usually get a somewhat bad winter here in CT so I took today to prep my little beater, a 1994 red honda civic cx hatch. It received a full tilt detail when I first bought it in 2011. It's a one owner car and looked like it was...

    [Winter prep] Collinite 476s on the civic

    It's right around the corner...so they say. That dreadful time of year when cars get ugly, the roads are full of crud. Our poor cars get a beating. I decided to give my 1994 civic hatch a little tlc today. I usually schedule time to buff it twice a year. In May, I used SIP/nano then Zaino to...

    Two car clean-up. Second time with Collinite

    it's that time again, fall is upon us...turning the corner towards the days that get dark early and cold temps. Time to get those cars ready! We have a 2005 Subaru and a 2010 Toyota Yaris which I tackled over the weekend. The subi had 105+205 done with the cyclo(orange 105-green 205) followed...

    Good question about orange peel reduction....

    OK: My friend Bill has grown to like detailing His nasty black '03 Z06. I refer to it as Nasty because it has awesome carbon fiber side skirts/splitter and custom hood and it's jet black. The car is a 2003 and has only had the fenders, hood and nose re-sprayed due to an incident a few winters...

    Collinite 845, VERY good stuff...

    I'd never used until this morning. Popped a few blue pads on the cyclo, dunked the bottle in hot water to thin it, added a few drops and went to town. :) It does spread beautifully. Nice even coating on the cyclo. You could probably do an entire car with four drops. I wasn't sure if I had enough...

    Sisters '03 Mazda Tribute

    My Sister owns a navy 2003 Mazda Tribute which is a daily driver and is kept outside. I try to give it a nice cleaning every year. It's that time of year again! The finish really holds the gloss nicely. I've used Menzerna on it a time or two. Previous times, I used the FLEX DA. This time, the...

    476s

    I'll be doing a review on this shortly as I found this locally, actually, My Dad did :). With all the + posts about it's durability but somewhat difficulty in applying and removing...I'm curious. Stay tuned. Not sure what it's going on. I have my brother in law's 2010 Ford Escape in Silver I'm...

    Sonax Wheel Cleaner

    I had a bottle shipped from the geek after seeing all of the photos/reviews of the stuff. Typically, I am a soap and water guy with a few brushes or two applications. My Z06 is God awful with the hard to reach stuff on the wheels. I decided to test the product on my mom's subaru. She took over...

    Collinite 845.....first try

    The Geek hooked me up with some various products(THANK YOU!!):xyxthumbs: With all the posts about Collinite 845, I simply HAD to try some. I'm going to be giving it a try later today on my Civic as that little car is easy to do, and needs some durable protection for the coming "cold weather"...

    Zaino Z8 Fix :)

    As much as I love Zaino Z8, I use it sparingly. I bought the first bottle of it a few years ago and apparently when you store it in a hot environment..it can tend to have chunks of red and cause streaking. Well, as a kidney stone sufferer, I took a screen and an old bottle of Z6, filtered out...

    Picking up this little red civic

    one owner, 1994 it has a few dings and dents but i think the finish can come back. the interior needs a good cleaning and i'll probably buy some engine cleaner and take care of that too. this is probably going to replace my Yaris. i had a blue hatchback like this one which was a little nicer and...

    I bought my 2010 Toyota yaris in March of this year after I sold my old honda civic bubble(as some call them)/hatch a month prior. It is absolutely red with grey and black interior. Picked it up with 57 miles on it. From sitting about a year or so it has it's usual light wash scratches/from snow...

    '04 Z06-Torch Red. "Light" Correction.....

    My z06 hasn't been "fluffed and buffed" since June '09. That was my first time using the FLEX on it. Used SIP/ORANGE NANO/WHITE then Zaino. It truly made the finish like it was dipped in red liquid and raised. Took all the scratches out. I've been driving the hell out of the car since then and...

    My Sisters Mazda Tribute Detail-105+205

    This vehicle is a driver and doesn't have the option to sit in the garage. It's an '03, navy blue tribute. Until last year it really never saw a good amount of TLC. I used the FLEX on it last year and some Menzerna(I think it was SIP, then Nano-orange pads then white then Zaino) and it really...
