Good Day fellow detailers. I finally got around to using a new and improved product from Wolfgang. Just like "DanLAXX1" I too was fortunate enough to receive this bottle of Wolfgang Carpet and Upholstery Restorer from Nick. First off, here's the details: Heavily soiled tan carpets from a...

Just a little bit of a rant... I have a friend who is a car nut. He's a single guy with 3 cars. He takes really good care of them. Spends a good amount of time and money on them. He's not afraid to spend money, or cheap out on inferior parts. He's also detail oriented and cleans his cars...

I just came across this new fad in car wrapping: velvet. A friend-of-a-friend posted up pics on a Bentley with it, and of course it's dirty. I can see no way you could have this wrap on a car that actually gets driven, and not have it look dirty. It's hard enough to keep a freshly detailed car...

I thought this was interesting. Typically this site posts blogs about DIY car repair, among other similar topics. This time the author chose to write about maintaining the appearance of the car. It's a good intro for many lay persons out there who didn't know about coatings, as you can read in...

This is kinda tricky, but I'm sure some of you on this forum would be able to find a solution. I know someone who recently had a little scrape on the passenger side rear bumper. Now the tricky part; the scrape is on the textured plastic part of the bumper. It's a mid-90's Volvo 850 sedan. This...

Resurrection! Breathing New Life Into Dead Paint This is my first official Show n Shine. I guess it's all downhill from here haha. Enjoy the picture show. Comments are always welcome. Subject: Classic Guards Red 1965 Porsche 356 SC This car is owned by a co-worker that he thoroughly loves...

I have created a blank template for experienced detailers to contribute to. I have read in numerous posts about a certain manufacturer having soft or hard clearcoat, which affects the pad or compound choices. Since a lot of people have found out by trial and error which is which, I thought it...

A buddy of mine is selling his sportbike and he did a pretty decent job detailing it by hand. He washed and clayed it, then used Megs UC/UP for the painted areas, and Mothers Chrome Polish for the shiney bits. When it came to his seat, he merely cleaned it w/ an APC. My question is: how would...

This is my first review, so here goes... I needed to clean my rubber floor mats in a bad way. I have a few different cleaners and thought it would be a good trial to see who could do the job the best. I have three different APC - A sample of BLACKFIRE Interior Cleaner; a sample of DP...

I wanted to ask anyone out there which product I should use to polish some used tail lights I bought. I wanted to spruce up my DD with some newer tail lights - as my current ones are hazed pretty badly. I didn't want to invest a bunch of time & effort into restoring them when I can replace them...

Hi. I just joined and am a novice. I have already started to learn quite a bit just from reading posts from many people here, especially the stuff Mike Phillips writes about. I really never knew the extent of products out there and techniques used to apply them. It's a whole other universe. I've...
