I bought the Cquartz UK kit that comes with 5 suede applicator pieces and one suede towel. I just finished applying Cquartz, but have ~3/4 of the bottle left. I was hoping to reuse the suede pieces and towel for next year's application. Will they still be suitable for use? I know that suede...

I just want to get one quick detail in before it gets too cold. My last detail was back in May and now the swirls are all back! Anyways, I was just wondering if it's a good idea to just compound my car and not polish afterwards. It seems that just polishing does not remove a good portion of the...

I know that they allow you the ability to clean a no-too-dirty surface safely, but what is the exact science behind it? Like how are you able to remove the dust and dirty without scratching the paint? I know it has something to do with the detailer or rinseless wash lubricating the surface...

Just picked this up yesterday from walmart for a little less than $7. Heard great things about it and the DUB line came out not too long ago, so I though I'd give it a try. I haven't cleaned my tires/wheels in a good month or two, so I used some Meguiars APC. Look at all that grime! As...

So I rarely every pay attention to them, to be honest. But today I just detailed my car and the only thing that sticks out is the dull/black/rusting? exhaust tips. The outside layer looks like aluminum (alloy?) and really isn't that bad. The inside, however, looks like steel and is blackened...

Some months ago I was washing my polishing pads and laid them on a table to dry. Someone put them in a bin in the corner and I forgot all about them until today. When I found them all my white pads were light orange. I'm just curious if I can still use them. Would it hurt the paint? Thanks.

I got this a while ago and plan to use it for my spring detail, so I've been been reading up on it around the forums. What I got is that you should put some in a spray bottle and you should wipe it and buff right after you spray. Is this correct? Would a foam applicator pad work? Or is...

So, I live in Michigan and for anyone that lives around here, you know how bad our winters are. Lots of ice, snow and salt. I'm just curious, which is more harmful to the car? Going through a car wash or leaving salt on your car for a extended period of time?

So my wax collection grew a little bigger today, though it's all still Meguiar's. I've been using NXT since I got my car. Today everything Meguiar's was on sale at Target, so I basically cleaned out the whole shelf. I got a couple Gold Class, both liquid and paste, and some Black wax. How...

So I found these things on the lid of my trunk a few months ago, but didn't pay too much attention to it. I figured I would address it during my next detail. However, when I compounded it, nothing changed. These white marks were still there, even though the paint was as smooth as glass. I...

There are stone chips all over my front bumper and hood, scratches in the most random places and swirls EVERYWHERE (even though I detailed my car not too long ago). I also have a black car, so all these imperfections are magnified! Is there a quick way to fix the chips? I have several dozen...

My friend dented her bumper while parking in her garage. There is a pretty big dent and paint transfer. I haven't looked at it in person though, but I told her to bring it by tomorrow and I'll try to fix it. I'm thinking my approach would be to heat up the area with either some boiling water or...

Recently applied to Collex because I'm a student without a job or money haha. To be honest I didn't think they'd consider me because the only experience I've had is detailing my family's cars.. But they did call back with a phone interview (which I was not prepared for). Asked why I wanted to...

Been waiting to do it for month and it was finally warm enough. This is my first time detailing a car. Before: Not sure if you could tell, but there were fine scratches everywhere and a few chips. After: (a bit dusty because it was sitting in the garage all night)

Working on my brother's 2006 300c and there are a lot of deep scratches. The paint color seems slightly different than the original paint. However, I have yet to compound and polish it. I was thinking of fixing the scratches before I do all that. Should I buy touch up paint in the oem paint...

So I found two very small dents on my car recently. One is on the back, left door. I assume a child or teenager wasn't paying attention when opening their door and accidentally hit mine. There is a small scratch (which I can easily fix) and a small dent (which I am clueless on how to fix) There...

Spring is coming and I'm about to fix up my brother's 300c. It's pretty beat up: I just want some advice on what to get. I'm nowhere near a professional. I'm more of an "almost a newbie". I've fixed up scratches and chips on my car and that's about it. The car is pretty oxidized. Should I...

I bought a pack of 12 about a year ago I seemed to have misplaced the entire package after one using one haha. And since spring is coming soon, I thought I would stock up on some. I was thinking about buying another back of 12 from Walmart for about $8 ( Detailer's Choice Microfiber Towels...

After years of neglect, my brother wants me to fix up his 2006 300c. He's even agreed to buy everything for me to make it look brand new again (: It's a base 300c with Silver Steel Clearcoat paint. There is corrosion on the rims, deep scratches all over the body and blemishes and scratches on...

I'm new to the art of detailing and have a lot to learn. I'm really looking forward to it! I really started to read into detailing when I got my new Mazda 6 in Black Ebony. I felt that even though black may be one of the hardest colors to maintain, it is also one of the most beautiful when it...
