Sorry if this is in the wrong sub forum. The trim on my passenger front door started peeling due to the summer heat. I picked up 3M adhesive to reattach the trim. I was reading the directions and it said to clean all surfaces so I went ahead and peeled all the trim off of the door. My question...

Just have a quick question, I was drying my vehicle off when I accidentally knocked on of the letters from the logo off of the vehicle. I was wondering if I need a specialty adhesive or if something along the line of crazy glue would work.

This isn't a detail related question but I'm hoping someone here is familiar with autobody. I didn't notice until yesterday but it seems as if someone backed into my car and drove away while I was at a store or in class. The soonest I'll be able to get an estimate and contact insurance is...

My aunt got a hold of me a few minutes ago and asked me if I could detail her car. I told her no problem but I have no experiencewith machine waxing or polishing. She is going to buy all the supplies so I'll tell her to pick up a clay bar kit along with polish and wax. The vehicle is a Audi...

I just got a job at a local detailing business. Depending on the car wash the customer purchases I have to clean windows with windex and a folded cloth. I just started but I seem to have issues with leaving streaks on the windows. No streaks = Bigger tips so I would appreciate any input in the...

I was hoping someone on this forum could detail for me the proper procedure for applying touch up paint. I left the house this morning for blood work, went to my grandfathers house, washed my car, took down the Christmas decorations and went home. However I forgot to close the cabinent door...

I was on my way to class and a semi-truck in front of me kicked up large ball of dried mud. It doesn't look as serious as it sounds but it left a 1/2 inch hair line scratch in the clear coat. It's cloudy and dim out right now due to the nor easter storm so I can't get very detailed pics of the...

I went to the beach last weekend and ended up with a light coating of sand on my engine and surrounding areas. I was wondering how safe it is to spray everything down with a jet of water to prevent any corrosion. Thanks in advance.

I had my clear coat hacked up by a cheap detailer on thursday. I have been looking for a certified detailing business that I can trust and will fix the swirls on my clear coat. I came across this business and I am considering it, but I have a "don't trust anyone" attitude now I got ripped off...

Hey guys, I got myself into a mess by not taking advice from people here, so I figured I better pull my head out of my @$$ and start listening. By the request of another member before I take my car anywhere else I was hoping someone could point me out to an expert in the Hampton Roads are of...

I've seen a lot of folks do it, but in the long run will mixing dawn degreaser with the car soap to remove road grime, bug residue, and tree wax hurt the clear coat or paint?

Hey all, Back again. I just bought this clay bar kit from Wallyworld and was wondering if its a good kit. As of now I wash my car weekly so I don't have a lot of debris clinging to the clear coat but I figured it would be a good idea to purchase it since I wash my car under a large tree. I...

I have been using sorry in advance, 100% cotton beach towels to dry my vehicle off with. I have 1 microfiber towel I bought in wal-mart, I believe it is a turtle wax brand towel. It doesn't do as advertised and lose water when I wring it out. Would an auto parts store carry a good brand of...

Hey Mike, I purchased my first vehicle on Jan 30th. Ever since I've had it I treat it like its my firstborn child. I wash once a week with turtle wax ice. I just waxed it for the first time 2 weeks ago yesterday. I used the quick method, turtle wax ice synthetic wax. I live in a suburban area...
