So I just effed up my previously perfect rim on my Silverado. To what extent can this be repaired? Any idea what a pro would charge? Shared album - Supergus1 - Google Photos

I recently bought a low mileage 2018 Silverado truck from a dealership, and a couple of weeks later I had a detailing shop coat the paint with Optimum Paint Guard, which came out great. When I picked the truck up I noticed some kind of coating on the windshield. It looks like an oily film; I...

My truck is coated with Optimum Paint Guard and I use either Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax, Optimum Car Wash, or Optimum Instant Detailer. What MF towels would be my best choice?

I've been using HD (pre diluted )for a little while now. I use it on the wheel wells of my truck by spraying on a mf towel and wiping on. The issue is that there are so many crevices in the wheel wells that its hard to get complete coverage. I tried spraying directly on to the surface but...

I bought a new Ford Ranger a couple of months ago, and immediately noticed water spots and (possibly) rail dust or some other gunk on the paint. So I took it to a pro detailer and had him decontaminate and polish the paint, and he also used (IIRC) Opti Seal. Came out great! Sorry no...

I'm trying to do some research on a company that recently contacted me to see if they are legit. Long story short- I found three different domain names that all lead to the exact same website. is this a red flag or is this fairly common?

I have a Ram 1500, blue, that I bought last year. It looks as though it has had a partial repaint. From the belt line down on the doors there's some orange peel that is pretty obvious next to the gloss of what appears to be the factory paint on the upper half. Has anyone successfully knocked...

Wife just bought a used car and its obvious it was a smoker's vehicle. it's not terrible, but you can still smell it, and someone obviously used deodorizer or something to try to mask the smell. Is it possible to truly get rid of all the odor, maybe steam cleaning it? Thanks

I just bought a 2011 Ford Escape and the dash has a golf ball dimpling texture. Usually I use a makeup brush or swifter duster to dust the dash while I'm waiting in the car for my wife. However it seems that the dust gets stuck in the dimples, almost sticking to the dash. Any suggestions for...

I believe I read that D114 @ 1:256 works well for clay lube, however, I have several spray bottles @ 1:128. wouldn't that work as well? Maybe even better since it has more concentrated D114 in it, therefore more lubricity?

Does anyone have experience with either the Sun Joe or Greenworks leaf blowers from Lowe's? I'm looking for a medium or heavy duty elec. blower that can do double duty as a leaf blower (duh) and a car dryer. I like the price range, about $90-$100. Or if anyone has experience with a different...

I am trying to sell my 40th Anniv. Fender Strat and I want to get rid of the scratches on the body and pick guard. I'd be doing this by hand (or maybe with the Meg's DA Power System). I know there are several musicians here and I was wondering what has worked for you all for the plastic of the...

When I do any detailing on my truck, I rarely use more than 4-5 MF's plus one or two MF applicator pads (still working by hand). I never have enough dirty towels to do even a small laundry wash. I didn't want any polish or wax residue to dry on the MF's so I tossed them in a small bucket of...

Some of you may remember my post a few months ago about removing vinyl lettering from my Tundra. Well, I went ahead and removed the lettering from the roof, figuring since no one sees it I could experiment a little. Lots of residue from the edges of the lettering; not sure if it's wax build...

Are all AIO's cleaner waxes? and are all cleaner waxes considered AIO's? Also, since I'm working by hand (or with the Meg's DA Power System) should I stick to OTC AIO products? I'm interested in XMT 360 but I'm unsure if it's effective when used by hand. I do have Meg's Cleaner Wax on my...

It's time to wash the Tundra and while the horizontal panels have some moderate road film, the vertical panels below the belt line and the tailgate have fairly heavy film. I've decided that instead of a rinseless wash with D115 I would go with a 2BM using Meg's Ult. Wash & Wax. Do you guys...

Who uses this and what are your thought/experiences? Krcher 1,800-PSI Pressure Washer : Cabela's

So I noticed that for an additional $10 I can get a GG 6" over a PC 7424XP. I know that a selling point on the PC for beginners is that it will stop spinning if too much pressure is applied. The GG touts that the 7 amp motor allows the unit to keep spinning when more pressure is applied. Will...

Not sure where this post should go so Mods please move if necessary. I know this isn't a question, rather an observation. Anyway, I was at a local dealership getting my truck serviced. I was walking around the outside of the building and happened e walk past the detailing bays. Up on the...

I need to get some more MF wash but I'm not impressed with Wolfgang. Occasionally when wiping certain areas I'll rub against rubber trim and my MF's end up with black areas on them. Wolfgang gets most of it out but not all. Any suggestions? What product achieves really good results for you guys?
