What products would you use to treat and protect a new "soft" pickup tonneau cover? I'm referring to a vinyl tri fold cover. This will be on a truck that sees little to no garage time. Obviously would want to keep it from fading and drying out.

Would like to hear some preferences and downsides of each variety. As far as liquid products they can last longer than sprays. However they are more involved to apply and remove. Also at least when I use them I have to remove the residue from all the cracks and crevices. Also I prefer to apply...

Do you tape over decals while preparing to polish? If so do you do it for a finish polish as well as a cutting polish? Also do you just use masking tape?

In a few weeks going to be placing an order for some supplies. Mostly Polish (both cut & finish), Sealer and Wax. Looking for opinions on the wax and opinions/ comments on the other items. For the sealer Jescar Ultralock ( definitely going with this) The polishes Sonax Cutmax and Perfect Finish...

Just curious as what your routine is for maintaining your ceramic coated vehicle. Do you only wash it with a neutral PH wash or do you use a certain wash? Do you apply an SI02 detailer after washing it? Do you apply sealer or wax?

So the weather has curtailed most outdoor detailing. That had me watching a couple videos which I do to possibly pick up any additional methods/tips. Once again the video I recently watched claimed the two bucket method was a waste of time and unnecessary. I've even seen well know detailers put...

Been giving some thought to my preferred sealant going forward. Not going to do a ceramic coating. I realize there are some good ones but as much as i maintain my paint with regular washes and treatments i feel a coating is just not needed. Have been doing a lot of video watching and research...

Only detail my own vehicles. I have four and detail them all. But can't recall when this one got polished and that one got sealed or for sure which products were used. I know I used Jescar Powerlock on my Pickup when it was still fairly warm but can't recall exactly when. Just occurred to me to...

Is Amplify dillutable when used as a drying aid? If so at what ratio?

I have quite a few detailing products in gallon jugs. Rinseless wash, Detailer, Wax, All Purpose Cleaners. At times, especially when trying to pour just a small quanity such as just an ounce or two to mix up some rinseless pouring from a gallon jugs can get messy and one finds some of the...

Just bought a new Hercules polisher from Harbor Freight. It comes with a 5 1/2 inch backing plate which takes 6 inch pads. I did buy a Grant's ( new offering from HF ) cutting pad and a polishing pad in the 6 inch. Figured I try them and if they work well then getting pads is as close as HF...

OK I'll start. I'm 68, so I've been washing cars a long time. Yes i started with the double D method. That being the Dish towel and Dawn. I retired in April 2023 which is why I have so much more detailing time. I actually had two careers. I was a flooring contractor ( ceramic tile, hardwood...

So I did something I said I wasn't going to do. I bought a gallon of the new Optimum Hyper Foam rinseless based on a you tube review. Guess I didn't think this all the way through. Was thinking it may be suited for some winter time washes when the vehicles get a bit dirtier. After receiving it...

Haven't seen this before. Detailing news.

Does anyone use or tried any of Superior Products offerings? They do produce several products that are similar to each other such as their all purpose cleaners. So which ones did you like and which ones were duds. Can't find any reviews on their EZ Shine. Might be one of their duds.
