Hey guys. I apologize if this isn't allowed to ask, or even in the right section. I typically love to detail my own vehicles and have been an active member here in the past, but lately work and family has taken over my time and my cars are filthy. Rather than roll the dice with a random...

Hoping someone here can offer some suggestions on this. This Land Rover LR4 has the coating on the trim of the NAV screen and DVD screens mounted in the headrest peeling. Replacing the trim isn’t much of an option as it requires buying all new screens. Which isn’t really feasible just for...

Hey guys. Bought a 2006 4runner owned by a smoker. The car is almost surgically clean now but the last thing I can’t seem to get to budge is getting the smoke/nicotine/whatever stain out of the rubbery vinyl type weatherstrip around the windows. Presumably from smoking with the windows down. You...

Good morning everyone. I'll try to make this as short as possible. I bought a 2006 4Runner and its pretty apparent it was owned by a smoker. Its not the worst thing I've ever smelled but its definitely noticeable. The dealership did a fairly good job of cleaning all the glass, leather seats...

Hey guys! After months of reading and watching videos I finally decided I had enough knowledge to compound/polish my own car. I purchased some of Larry's AMMO products since I really like him and his videos. So I broke out my Griot's DA on my Z06 and some products. I started with a bottle of...

I'm at my wits end here guys. I've got a wheel off my Trailblazer SS trying to give the wheel barrel a good clean and I have hit it with everything shy of napalm and this baked on, imbedded crud won't go away! It's like cockroaches. I have tried: -P21S gel letting it sit and scrubbed until...

Hey guys. This is my own personal vehicle. Yes it's in rough shape, but I recently moved and it has had to sit outside with little to no love and kindness for quite a while. Anyways, I came out to find this a few weeks ago and don't have a clue what it is. It can't be felt, so it's not...

Is it something you would consider if they $$?

Hey guys. Happy Thanksgiving. I was reading something the other day that said dry sanding was meant for factory paint while wet sanding was meant for repaints. I'm fairly confident I've seen guys wet sand factory paint. Can you guys substantiate this claim?

Hey guys. Got a Sonata 2.0T here with some strange caked on gunk on one of the wheels. It almost appears to be a stain. You can't feel it. I've tried normal and heavy duty wheel cleaners and even clay. Any ideas what I could be looking at? Thanks!

Hey guys. I'm drafting a business plan and have a question. I'm currently working full time in a corporate job, but really feel that my passion lies within automobiles. I have been doing a lot of research into going pro with my detailing. If my wife and I decide this is what we plan to do...

Hey guys. I'm doing a bit of research for growing my business. I thought of something the other day. Every (most) detail jobs I see guys posting on here, YouTube , etc I always see just using a wheel brush to clean the inside of the wheel. Why not pop the wheels off for a more thorough...

Hey guys. I am wracking my brain trying to figure this out. Is there anyway to have warm water while working mobile? Heated water tank? I have always wanted warm water when detailing but couldn't understand how. Then I saw a video where a guy had warm water. How?! Lol. Thanks guys!

Hey guys. I'm new to the forums from North Carolina. I can't get enough of detailing. I'm a recent business school graduate working in the corporate world now but I'm leaning very heavily towards leaving to start my own detailing business. In college I was the guy scribbling detail notes on...
