    Removing Old Pinstriping

    So, we recently purchased a 2005 4Runner as a third vehicle. Love it and I'm about to get to work on the paint, however, while most of the pinstriping is gone, there is still a bit that needs to be removed. What products and techniques should I use to remove what's left? Thanks in advance!

    Looking to move from gas to electric power washer…suggestions?

    I currently have a Simpson 3,000PSI 2.4GPM power washer that I use for detailing the cars. It works fantastic. It has tons of power and cleans the wheels and everywhere else like a champ.

    I Can’t Get the Brake Dust off the Wheels – HELP!

    Recently, we purchased a Lexus 2015 IS250 F Sport for my wife to drive. It’s a great car and everything is in nice condition. However, it is clear that the brake dust is stuck to the wheels (somewhat bad on the front wheels). I have scrubbed with car wash and a wheel brush, and this afternoon, I...

    Brush for Large Vehicles?

    Hello everyone, To begin with, I drive a large vehicle (GMC 2500HD Crew Cab 4x4). I prefer to wash the vehicle myself, but there are many (many) times where I just don’t have the time to devote to getting it cleaned up.

    Detailing the Gelcoat on an RV – What about the decals/graphics?

    So I’m about to go to work with my PC 7424xp on my RV to remove some light oxidation. Having never detailed an RV before I’ve done a few test spots (by hand) with great results. I used this product (given to me, I know nothing about it), and finished it with Marine 31 Gel Coat Carnauba Wax +...
