After a long break from detailing much, I did a full detail on my Fiat. Wash: Wolfgang Auto Bath - love this soap; expensive but it has super suds, slick, and a great cleaner. Wheels cleaned with 1Z Wheel cleaner Wheel wells cleaned with Amazing Roll Off Wheels finished with Poorboys Bold n...

I posted recently about my new Fiat detail. Last weekend I washed and waxed with Dodo Juice Diamond White. This was is designed for light colors not black like my Fiat. The Fiat back has flecks of color that I want to pop. The finish looks good with the Dodo Juice. Today I drove in the rain and...

3 weeks old! First detail the weekend I bought it (posted detail here). Not very dirty at all, but I wanted to wash and wax. Wheels: PB APC diluted PB SSS Various brushes Final finish topped Tires with PB Bold n Bright Wash two bucket of course PB SSS Dryed with leaf blower Wax: well, the...

I used, or tried to use my UDM today. Half way through the detail the machine started to slow down. I had to switch on and off and adjust the speed. It was like the power was going in and out.

As I stated in an earlier post I traded in the Jaguar and bought a smaller simpler car. A 2012 Fiat Sport, black (nero) with two tone (black/red) leather seats. Did first detail today. I am so out of shape! Have not detailed in a long time so I really felt it today! Even with it being new and...

Howdy ya'll! I have been remiss in posting and car detailing. Summer was so hot in Dallas and I have been incredibly busy with work. Sad news, I sold the Jaguar :( At 9 years old and 84K miles the maintenance costs were mounting. Still a great car, but long term did not make sense to me...

I have the UDM and it is starting to have some issues. I don't use it much. Yesterday I did a detail with it and running at high speed it started to smell like a hot engine smell. Then it slowed down several times. I think it was over heating. What should a occasional hobby user buy? I want...

Good friend's 2001 Mercedes Benz. Daily driver with no garage. Sits in the Texas sun all day and under trees all night. Lots of bird bomb etchings. The headlights were in bad shape so I bought the Wolfgang headlight restore kit. But, she had someone work on the headlights before I had a chance...

A month or so back Dallas has tornadoes and hail! I was in Boston on business. When I returned to DFW airport I discovered that the trunk of my Jaguar was heavily damaged by the hail. I was under covered parking but the hail blew in at an angle. USAA insurance rocks! They quickly handled the...

I am a big fan of PB NL for interior and have used it for years on all my cars and friend/ family cars I have cleaned. One of my basic products. However, on the Mazda we have, the NL does not work like I want on the dash. For some reason it streaks and leaves the dash to shiny. I have to really...

I told a buddy I would detail his BMW. It is a dark grey color, looks like there may be some flecks but it looks like a muted color, not shiny. But then maybe that is because I have only seen it dirty! It doesn't look like it needs correction; however, I've not seen it clean in sun yet. Some...

Anyone use this product? Any comments? It is on a really good sale price. I already have Red Moose, White Diamond and Black hole so I don't need yet another glaze, but man is this a tempting deal! $20 buck off the price! Feed back please

Finally got to detail the Jaguar. Lately my details have been on the new Mazda and with such limited time at home detailing the Jag has not been feasible. Did this over 2 days. Day one was super humid and when the thunder and dark clouds started I decided to put the car away and finish the next...

The Wife's Mazda was filthy from our trip to Houston coupled with a week of rain here in Dallas. Lots of bug splats from the road trip. Finally got a break in the rain and my schedule (only because it was Saturday) so I detailed the car. Kind of a bad time to detail because the rain was due to...

I've been using Poorboy's World Natural Look for a long time and I absolutely love it! It is one of my favorite PB products and the only one of its kind in my supply.:bowdown: However, we bought a Mazda CX-7 and the interior doesn't seem to play well with NL. The product works great on every...

With my work/ travel schedule detailing the cars on the weekends is not really an option. It so pains me to see my car so dirty! I posted a couple of weeks ago that we bought a Mazda CX-7 for the SO. Since I have a 3 day weekend I was able to spend a good part of Saturday detailing the new...

Just bought a 2010 Mazda CX-7 iSport! We traded in the 2001 Nissan Quest with 102,000 miles. The Mazda is Cooper Red. I'm looking forward to detailing a new car! Hopefully I can get a wash and wax in tomorrow before I fly off for work. But then, the Jag really needs a wash!

I just spent a lot of money fixing something that may have occurred as a result of using 1Z Kristall Klar Washer Fluid. I have only anecdotal evidence so I'm posting this to see if anyone else has had problems. I mixed the concentrate per instructions and I emptied out the existing fluid. I...

I detailed a good friend of ours (she's like family) Mazda. The weather was fantastic on Sunday. We had a high of 75 and that night the temperature plunged to the low 30's. Monday morning it was in the 20's. I figured this was the last chance for a nice weather detail before the end of the year...

I thought My SIL Loved me, but .... ________________________________________ I detailed my Sister-in-Law’s Lexus. I thought she loved me, but if she did she wouldn’t have let it get so horribly filthy! She says she got it dirty just for me. :rolleyes: I spent most of my time on the exterior...
