My dad just gave me a Valvoline Headlight Restoration kit that he got from the Carbrite guys. Has anyone tried it? It seems to be simpler than the other kits, as in not as many different sandpaper grits and polish. All it has is 4 sheets of 400 grit sandpaper, 2 sheets of 1000 grit sandpaper, a...

I was just wondering- Is there much of a difference with different clays? I use Meguiar's clay, and I like it. I've never tried any other brands of clay though. If some clays are supposed to be about the same aggressiveness, is there much difference other than that? I've also seen some that are...

Hi AG forum! I need some advice on if I can accomplish what I need to, with the products I have. I finally got some pads for my GG6. I got 2 6.5" LC Flat Orange Pads, & did Buy One Get One Free for 1 LC Blue and 1 LC Gray that my dog already ate. So I'm basically down to 2 6.5 Orange and 1...

So was anyone else's order held on to for a couple of days this week until today? It just seems convenient that there is a Free Shipping promo with an outside sponsor that started today, and my order sat in "Warehouse" status for two full days until my order actually shipped. This is my first...

Yesterday I waxed a black Lexus SC hartop convertible. What a sharp little car! I clayed the whole thing, then used Meguiar's Gold Class Carnauba Plus Paste wax by hand. After I let the wax dry and rubbed it off with a MF towel, I noticed these long, thick stripes on the paint, mostly on the...

-The following story is an account of my workday yesterday, and may end up being a waste of your time, or possibly an interesting read. You have been warned.. I work as a Service Writer at a small GM dealership. I really don't have much to do throughout the day, since we have only about 8-10...

:mad:Well, CarBrite just came by and informed me I can no longer get their Tire Sheen because Indiana has gone to VOC-compliant only on detailing products. They sold me this Purple Dressing II instead. Shame, because I really liked the Sheen. Also got this awesome mango scent, some more Cherry...

I just wanted to post a little tidbit that may help someone else out. I live in a small and fairly rural area. About two weeks ago I emailed someone at my local area newspaper about starting up my detailing for the area, and my services that I offer. Yesterday in the Sunday edition, she...

I just got the Meguiar's ScratchX in a kit I ordered. I used the ScratchX on my car and got some serious scratches out of the paint. I was pretty impressed with it. I don't have a DA and I'm wondering if this ScratchX would be worthy of using as a polish to apply by hand before waxing? I'm doing...

My car may not be the nicest, prettiest, or greatest car ever, but it's still my car. It's a 99 Lumina with a Pewter Metallic paint. On the hood it looks like there are actual little tears (like rip-tears, not crying tears) in the clearcoat, and the paint chipped under that. Is that actually...

Hi! I'm Tony, and I live in a small town in Southern Indiana, 2 hours from any city. My dad has detailed for 47 years and I'm finally branching out on my own. I've been lurking here for about a month now, and have started posting a little :-) There's so much awesome knowledge and experience...
