What do I use to restore/polish up that fake plastic chrome stuff? Im going to be detailing an older Ford F-150 (2000) and it has the chrome rear bumper. Im not sure if its real chrome or not though. Its not in terrible shape, but it definitely needs a good polishing to restore it to its...

This might seem like a ridiculous question to some people, but after using Megs UC, do you have to follow it up with polish or something else or could I just use wax to seal it and be done? Reason I ask is I just started on my wife's Expedition today for a much needed detail. I thought I had...

Ok, so a buddy of mine asked me if I could detail his boat (small sea-doo boat), and I told him I would do some research and get back to him. Im more than capable of doing cars, but Im a complete noob when it comes to marine vehicles. How different is fiberglass? What kind of questions do I need...

Ive posted a lot of questions on autogeek. Gotten a lot of great help here. Now I figured its time to post one of my personal cars that I just finished detailing for critique. Here is my 2004 Ford SVT Lightning: (Sorry I didn't take any close up pictures of the paint before I started. It had...

Whats the difference? Isn't it kinda the same thing? Seems to work the same. I just did a full detail on my truck about two weeks ago and its already dirty. Its mostly a film of dust since the weather has been dry, windy and hot lately. Im just not sure if I should jump on the "waterless wash"...

Ive just finished claying my own personal truck, which is an 04 SVT Lightning. The paint is in good shape in my opinion, but I can definitely see some hard water spots and lots of scratches and some swirling/spider webs. My color (DSG aka Dark Shadow Gray) hides everything very well and looks...

I assumed this was just water spots. It looks like someone ran thru a puddle and the water spray just dried, but I washed it, and scrubbed the area, then clay bared, and really worked the area with clay again, but nothing worked. I just used Megs105 and it got rid of the surface marks, but these...

Ok, so I posted another thread a few days ago about "compounds" But I think my issue has now evolved enough to post a different thread… I have a Ford Mustang with the "Lazer Red" paint color. Its a risk/reward paint. If its taken care of its one of the most beautiful paint colors Ford ever...

Im by no means a professional detailer. I just bought this 98 Mustang at an auction. The paint is very neglected. And it unfortunately has Ford's notorious Lazer Red paint. It has some oxidation spots and some clear peeling in spots. Im trying to save it enough to sell it for a profit. Ive...

Any ideas how I can get rid of some pretty nasty glass scratches? Its actually not on my car glass, its on my aquarium glass, but its probably the same thing… right?

Hey guys, So Im at a loss here. I have some serious rust build up on some offroad rims I just bought. Its obvious that the guy I bought them from pulled them off his truck and left them on the side of his garage for quite a while, uncleaned. The wheels are supposed to be aluminum alloy, which...

How do you clean it and what do you use?

So I borrowed a Meguiars G100 polisher from a buddy, and this is the first time ive used a polisher like this. When I got it from him it had 2 orange pads, 2 yellow pads, and a black. I have no idea what kind of pads they are. I borrowed it to detail 4 of my cars, but now I need some new pads (I...

Hi, new here. And I m not sure if Im posting this in the right section or not, but a buddy told me this was the place to get answers for detailing… Anyways, I just finished detailing my wifes Honda Element. Came out ok, BUT I popped the hood, and, well, looks like ive neglected it waaaay too...

… Been detailing my own cars for a while now, but just went to the next level when I borrowed a buddies Meguiars G100 to detail all four cars. WOW! This things is awesome!! So much better than by hand! Im never going back. Just finished my 2007 Honda Element (sorta)... Need to do my: 2002 Ford...
