My truck got Fuzioned! It warmed up here last weekend and I was finally able to wash and wax my truck. I’ve been using DP 4 in 1 all winter so a full wash by hand was exciting. This is a simple wash and wax, not a full exterior detail. No polishing was done prior to the wax, that will come...

Did anybody else notice that a new on-line user record was set on DFIII? Most users ever online was 194, 03-29-2008 at 05:25 PM. :wave:

Here are a few pics from the show. No, I didn't have a dead battery in my camera and have to run a mile in my flip flops to get a new battery. I simply pointed and clicked to bring these pics to you but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless. :D

Have a wonderful Birthday! :wave:

’85 MR2 UPDATE Given that I used XMT extensively on this one I thought it would be a perfect candidate for the September Contest. The owner of this car was excited when I asked him if I could detail it again. Since the initial detail in April he has washed it but that’s about it. A few things...

I had this much stuff! OK, I did know but when I laid it all out it's kind of overwhelming.:o I was just going through all of my detailing stuff and organizing it (I know, hard to believe, me organizing something:D) and I thought I'd share this with you.

Volvo XC90 This detail was a birthday present for my customer from her husband. Her SUV has not really been taken care of at all. It just turned 50,000 miles it is mostly used to run the kids around town and it’s also her workhorse for her gardening supplies. This was a full detail and boy...

98 Saturn This car has probably seen a few automatic washes in its 9 years. The last time it was waxed was the last week of Never. Needless to say it needed some attention. The owner totally loves her car but does not think to clean it at all. Luckily the interior was not full of garbage it...

I've had these Hose Blockers for a while now and use them on every detail I do. I save time and reduce my frustration because I'm no longer fighting with the hose or cords that always get stuck under the tires. They could be a little wider for truck and SUV tires but they still work fine. ehuth1...

Mini Review: Surf City Garage Road Trip Grime Destroyer I had a chance to put this product to the test this past Saturday. I met a guy at a local festival who had just driven his car through fresh road tar/oil four days earlier. Just my luck the car is white. I really thought I had my work cut...

07 BMW 335i This is a brand new 335i. The owner wouldn’t let the dealer wash it before he took possession of it. He already had me lined up for the exterior detail and didn’t want the dealer to touch it. The salesman said this was the first time anyone has ever stipulated that they should not...

2005 Toyota Highlander Background A very large scratch on the hood is what led to today’s detail. This truck is in fairly good shape and I was only detailing the exterior. The interior was cherry. The owner thinks that someone where she works set their briefcase on the hood and then proceeded...

2000 Subaru Forester The owner loves this car and simply wanted me to make it look better. The inside was fairly clean except she is a smoker and drinks coffee in it. Lucky for me she doesn’t eat in it. So the interior was easy. The exterior was dirty and had the usual swirling that you’d find...

UDM Initial Thoughts I used my new UDM on my “test” vehicle which would be my silver 01 Jeep. The paint was swirl free so I thought I would try Menzerna FP, followed by Menzerna Glaze, and then my lsp. I used the UDM for all applications. Keep in mind this is an initial review having only used...

05 Eclipse Background This car is babied. Garage kept, interior was spotless and it’s only washed by touchless wash at a local higher-end car wash. The paint had very few scratches and swirls were minimal. The Plan I wanted to use XMT180 wax again so I thought I’d keep it all in the family...

I haven’t seen this on this forum so I thought it would be fun information to take a look at. This is from the 2006 DuPont Automotive Color Popularity Report. http://www.cars.com/go/advice/Story.jsp?section=top&story=colorLuxury&subject=colors&referer=&aff=national Based on the DuPont...

Just a few minutes ago I saw my neighbor trying to put together a basketball backboard for his son's birthday. He started the job long before dusk but you know how those things go. I see them out there in the dark with his wife holding this little battery lantern for light while he's trying to...

I had a chance to detail just the paint on my VTX today. Don’t look at the chrome or other parts :) . Since there’s hardly any surface area and my paint was not in the best shape I took it through the XMT test. Washed with DP 4 in 1 4” green Edge pad for XMT4/XMT3 4” white for XMT2/XMT1...

XMT180 Wax Review 03 Frontier Background – this truck sits outside 24/7 it is used to haul gravel, lumber and other things. It’s definitely not a garage queen. The last time this Frontier saw any wax was probably a year ago or longer. The paint is granite metallic. The Plan – Wash, clay...

Toyota RAV - Menzerna This white paint on this RAV was in fairly decent shape. The hood had swirls and the usual scratches all around that most DD’s have. I wanted to try out my Menzerna polishes and the sealing wax so I did. After the wash and dry I broke out my PC, the 6” Blue Edge pad and the...
