I have a job coming up coming up where I will be doing an interior of a heavy smoker's car. To this time, I have not had the chance to do a smoker car. Not that I wanted to really, but I accepted the challenge. I had friend refer me someone who wanted to have the interior of their Corolla...

About to start a detail on another BMW and the trim has a very heavy oxidation film on it. Quick tried Mother's MAG and Aluminum Polish and it didn't do the job. Suggestions for a fast, effective way in eliminating this? Maybe steel wool followed by gTechniq M1 Metal Polish?

Comments and constructive criticism welcome! Here is my final logo idea: After thinking long and hard about what I would like to name my part-time business venture I finally pulled the trigger and am set on a name, New Edge Auto Detailing. It can also be shortened to New Edge Detail and still...

As the title states what do you do with your old pads, and at what point are they garbage? Thinking of good uses for my 5.5" LC Flats. These are pads that are beat up, velcro backing is shot, or dust heavily that I have put into a separate bin. Now I am wondering what you guys do with your pads...

Not sure if I will get a response or if this thread will be booted, but I figured this section will get the most attention so here goes... I have MAC Longtubes, UPR K member, and a MAC O/R Prochamber(Aluminized) sitting in the garage waiting to be installed. Before install I want to paint/...

I have been using M105 followed by M205 for quite some time and have had success with it. Being that I am running out of M105/M205 I will be stocking up for this season. Recently I have heard good things about Menzerna Power Gloss Compound (PG 1000) and am wondering which product is better...

Plan on tackling these soon on my mustang cobra. I have restored a few headlights before but none to this caliber. Then lenses aren't too oxidized but the spider cracking on the sides of the headlights are pretty severe. My plan is tape them off clean and use NanoSkin Auto Scrubber on them to...

A little off topic in terms of detailing but close enough to share the experience. Well after buying the car in late June and looking at this every time I opened the hood I figured I should finally do something about it and man was it an experience. The results were well worth it in the end...

How's it goin guys! This may not be the section or forum for this question but I figured you all here have a very broad skill set and know a thing or two about automotive painting and more importantly clear coat application. After removing the hood liner so the supercharger can breathe and...

How's it goin guys, just came on here for a little advice from the guys that do this for a living or those that do it religiously on the side. For the past 5 months I have been getting into the detailing scene. I always had the OCD, perfectionist mentality when it came to my own vehicles...

How's it going guys, been a while since I have been on here. Very busy with work and my new side passion on weekends, detailing. As of right now I have been detailing friends and family vehicles and ended up doing 5 full corrections so far in 2 months and love every minute of it. I have done...

Picture's do not show much as I wasn't too concerned about pictures and had my girlfriend controlling the camera half the time but you can see the results! :nomore: Ended up taking 14 1/2 hours to complete it. The car came out great, removed all swirls/scratches along with bad water spots on...

(^Wheels are removed for cleaning) Just received my order from Autogeek and can't wait to start detailing for real now. Over the years I always took extreme care of my vehicles as well as a few others. The kicker was I was using OTC products to do so and it just wasn't cutting it. I always...

What kind of clay should I buy to clean these wheels up? Was recommended to buy detailing clay to clean wheels. What OTC clay can I get cheap to use on wheels as it most likely will be ruined afterward? Also do I apply with wheel cleaner or lubricant/quick detailer? Thanks in advance, trying to...

How's it goin guys, before I pull the trigger and place my big detailing order here I want to find out as much as I can about a few of the products on my list, mainly M105 and other LSPs. Just to give you a quick background on me and what I will be using these products for: Every since I had...

I plan on getting Meg's Wheel Brightener here in the next few weeks. From hearing it's tremendous cleaning abilities along with other positive reviews and recommendations, there are also warnings and others say it is too strong. I understand that it is a stronger product, which I think is key...
