    2007 Porsche Cayman interior material

    Recently purchased a 2007 Porsche Cayman. Looking to detail the interior and trying to figure out the best product for the interior. I'm not sure of the material used for the door panels. It's a soft touch type material and thinking it's just some type of rubber. It also appears that some...

    Cream of tartar for cleaning windows

    A friend if mine that used to sell detailing supplies had told me about this. Has anyone heard of using a paste made from cream of tartar for cleaning windows? I'm guessing it just makes a mild abrasive?

    My first DA detail - 2006 Mustang GT - advice welcome

    Just getting started in this whole thing. Car is a 2006 Tungsten Gray Mustang GT I don't really have any before pictures to show how bad the paint was because honestly, it wasn't horribly bad. I just wish the factory orange peel wasn't so horrible. Guy that owned the car before me took care...

    Lake Country Hydro Pads Separating

    I saw that back in 2010 they were having some problems with the pads. I'll admit I'm still new at this but I've had two Cyan pads (one 6.5 and one 5.5) fail on me. The glue holding the loop/hook seems to be failing and separating from the pad. Hasn't happened on the others. Not sure what's...

    I've been polishing my car out. Using a Harbor Freight DA with Lake Country Hydro pads. Using the M105 with a Tangerine pad at 6 and M205 with a Cyan pad at 6. I can see a very subtle difference but if I run a piece of tape across after doing the M101 and apply the M205, I don't really see...

    store pads for overnight/next day sessions

    I don't always have more than an hour or two at times to polish my vehicle. Maybe a panel a day sometimes. Is it safe to spritz the pad with water after a session and store it in a ziploc bag overnight for use the next day or will I really need to start with a fresh pad every day??

    Safe to use car cover between steps??

    So, I have no garage and I'm concerned that in order to meet weather requirements/etc. that it might take me a couple of days to fully detail my car. I have a good/breathable car cover. I was wondering if it's ok to use that during some of the stages so that I can pick up with the next step...

    Protecting Matt Finish Wheels

    What's the best way of protecting matt finish wheels? I wouldn't think a paste style wax would be appropriate as I don't want gloss rims. Is there a recommended spray that might work best??
