    Is Creating An LLP Stupid?

    A buddy and I are huge into detailing. We have been doing cars together for the past couple months. It works because he loves interiors, I love exteriors, and our personalities match. We would like to take our detailing to the next level. We are currently using his garage and would like to have...

    Extractor -vs- Wet/Dry Vac?

    I'm looking to spend around $120. On one hand, I thought of purchasing a Bissell Spot Clean Pro which is made for extracting. It's small, can hold solution, and has a tank for extraction. But I heard that they're just too small and don't have enough power to get seats mostly dry. After all...

    Looking to buy 5 new products. Your experience/recommendations welcomed!

    I do a lot of research here on AG, but three hours later (three less hours of sleep) I hate myself for wasting so much time. Rather than pick apart every post in existence, I thought I might as well just ask and get to bed. Nanoskin Towel: Claying is the primary thing I don't like about...

    Can washing cause holograms? [pics]

    Hey everyone. I'm detailing a newer, black Maxima. It was really dirty, but appeared to be in great shape. Then I removed the dirt and was confronted with a Monster! There were scratches everywhere. The dog liked to welcome the owners home and left a zillion marks everywhere. Now that the dog's...

    I Hate Cloth Interiors!

    Pet hair. Nasty smell. Stains. Hard-to-reach areas. Trampled areas. I recently detailed my sister-in-law's Maxima. It's a large car and there is cloth everywhere. She enjoys taking her 2 big dogs places and doesn't put a sheet on the seat or anything. And she lets them get in her car wet. Ugh...

    Has Anybody Here Ever Spray Painted a Car?

    My next door neighbor has a 1986 Toyota Supra that just sits in her driveway. The body is fine, save a huge dent on the front right, and the paint is all good except the front bumper. I really want to buy the car from her, but if anything, I would love detailing it for her. No sense detailing...

    Hey. I was researching the best way to clean leather and I have read favorable reviews on using Scrubbing Bubbles (green cap). Do any of you all have experience with this? If not, what is the best OTC Leather Cleaner/Conditioner that I can pick up from AZ or similar? Thanks!

    Girlfriend's mom wants me (noob) to detail her car...

    I'm going to come out and say it, I'm scared of my girlfriend's parents. They are very successful businesspeople and are a very intimidating. They heard that I was interested in and researching detailing cars and offered theirs for me to practice. Needless to say, I can't screw this up. I'm a...

    Bought my First Set of Products

    I spent the past weekend in my uncle's woodshop and saved up enough money to buy some detailing products. After being obsessed with refinishing/detailing for awhile now, I can finally start doing it! Tell me what you think, what I have that I don't need, and make any suggestions on anything else...

    Beautify the Base Coat

    Hello all! This is my very first post. Over the last year or so I've been really interested in detailing mine and other people's cars. Over the past few weeks I have been completely consumed in reading up on techniques and attempting to decide what to purchase. Somehow I ended up spending $300...
