Just curious as we all have something we're a little OCD about, especially car care since we are on here. But I was wondering if there is anything else anyone else has an obsession about? Mine lately is my health and appearance as I get older, especially my teeth.

I have a solid black ninja that is getting older, and I want to protect it better than with the products that were available at the time I bought the bike. Over the years from taking the cover on and off, road grime, bugs, riding etc. the paint is in phenomenal shape, but like all things...

I am looking for a good coating for my sport bike. It doesn't see a lot of road time, but I want to be able to keep it protected while in storage, and lower the swirl and scratches from dust and such while covered. Can anyone recommend a good semi permanent coating that wont break the bank?

I went to take the cover off my motorcycle, and noticed a dead bug splatter on the tank. I stupidly used my fingernail to get it off, and I must have had some dirt or something on my nail, because it scratched the tank pretty good, and I noticed it after I wiped it with some quik detailer and a...

I live in a rental community with limited access to wash my vehicle. When I do, I use ONR, GREAT STUFF! Over the last few weeks it has been rather gloomy and wet early in the morning when I like to do these things, and then partly cloudy in the evening about an hour before it gets dark. I have...

I had CQuartz Finest applied to my car about 3 years ago. It is a great product, but I am wondering after 3 years if I should try and remove it, and reapply something else? It only has a warranty of 2 years and I am obviously out of that window. It still seems to be doing its job as good as it...

I recently took my car into have the sunroof motor replaced, in the process I am assuming some of the black grease that is on the guides got onto my headliner. There is a small black dot, and a few very light fingerprint marks here and there. Rather than have the dealership clean it, I thought...

Hello, I had a piece of crud that got onto the tire machine and scratched the outside circumference of the wheel. I did them myself, so I am the only one to be held liable.The wheels are OEM machined bare aluminum finish with a clear coat. The scratch isnt actually all that bad but it is...

I somehow ran over white road paint, which is weird because I am a very cautious driver, but it happened. I got most of it off with a plastic tinting squeegee, WD-40 and a pressure washer. There is still little white dots here and there that I will go back and get off when time allows. The...

I have had CQF on my car for about a month and a half now, and have washed it about a half dozen times. I want to start with the pros that I have noticed... PROS Sheets water like the water is afraid to touch the car Sort of self cleans, the pollen doesn't make my black car yellow sort of...

I have a "matte finish" on the B pillars of my car, and they have a bunch of scratches on them from fingers and such. What is the best way to polish out these scratches without making the paint shiney or off color? Most of the products I own says not for use on matte finish. Also I would like a...

After my rather unpleasant experience with the window tinter, who at this point I am washing my hands of and dont care to deal with them any further for any reason. I would like some advice on how to correct a few boo boos they inflicted on my car and nothing serious that I can see at this...

I recently started to do some "add ons" to my new car. Nothing major, just tint and a good Cquartz Finest application. However I feel like my expectations of what things should turn out to be are very high, but not unreasonable. I had my tint done by a large reputable shop and when I asked the...

I know the big guns in the tint business are D&L, but my last experience I had with them really turned me off. I had to go back 4 times to have them fix the tint, and having a young kid do my tint doesn't really instill confidence in the claim for years of experience. So enough of that rant, I...

I have a 1 " scratch on my dash RIGHT in front of me so I cant avoid looking at it haha. I dont plan on doing anything to alter the plastic, but I tried using some natural shine protectant and while that helped, in the dark when the light off the street lights and such hit it its very obvious...

I have clear coated alloy wheels on my new car, I am not too concerned about protecting them with a product, thats the easy part. But is there anything I could buy or use that will help prevent them from getting all scratched up in deeper snow and from the salt/debris on the road? I have...

I bought the Meguiars DA kit from here that came with 2 white pads, 1 blue, and 1 black. I only have consumer line Meguiars products at the moment, but they work fine, but I am sure there is something out there in the pro line better. I am in the process of stocking up to do my big overhaul...

I have been viewing the forum for quite sometime. It has been a great wealth of knowledge for sure. I think I need a little more 101 though as I am facing a new venture in my detailing needs. I recently purchased a 2013 KIA Rio SX hatchback. It is a SWEET little ride, but it is the mother of all...

New guy here from the East Coast. What a wonderful wealth of information this site is. I went so long viewing without posting, because most of what I wanted to know was actually already answered haha. I will however be posting some questions soon, and cannot wait to get set in the right...
