Hi. I did a full correction/coating on my truck a couple weeks ago and also cleaned and treated the bumpers/door handles etc. The plastics looked great beforehand and has been treated regularly since 2016. I did maintenance wash today and the door handles and rear bumper trim now look like...

Several years back I bought a black truck. At the time I had no idea about polishing and it wasn't until the dealer gloss wore off that I realized how bad swirls and scratches were on black paint. That started the bug for me. I ended up with a PC7424 and spent many hours a week cleaning and...

Hey all, I'm considering setting up a little side hussle to help with my rainy day fund. I've been researching the market in my area and am astounded at the prices some of these 'detailers' are offering. One guy here offers a full 'wash and wax' for $ 20 and says he can do it in 15-20...

I just spent 2.5 hours washing my truck. That was just a wash & dry, without wheel cleaning or door-jambs. That seems wicked excessive to me, but I can't see how to save much time. Here's my process (two bucket method/grit guards/lambs wool wash mitts) - High pressure rinse off. -...

Hi everyone. found this forum searching for easy ways to keep black paint up to snuff. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada, and replaced my old beater truck with a brand new 2011 dealer left-over Nissan Frontier last fall. I'm not really a 'detailing guy', but have always kept my rigs...
