So I was washing my wife’s brand new black Explorer last night. It was its first wash and I was trying to finish before if got dark. I’m half way through and the neighbor next door decided to come out and start mowing his yard. Needless to say I was furious. If his yard were nice and only grass...

I see AG shows a “Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Surface Coating” and then a 4oz bottle of “Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Paint Coating” What’s the difference? Says the “paint coating” is V2 so I’m guessing is a newer improved version maybe? Or is the Surface coating a kind of jack of all...

How many folks have tried the spray on tire dressings. I've seen the CG has a popular aerosol dressing and now Mothers Back to Black is getting into this application. How well does it apply this way? Seems like it would get all over the vehicle especially if there is any kind of breeze.

I have a co-worker in my daily job who asked me to clean his Yamaha R6. He requested a waterless wash because he had some tuning electronic devices installed. It didn't appear to be very dirty overall. He said he didn't need wax or anything extensive. What would you charge?

Should I use a brush or foam applicator?! lol

I currently using CG Honeydew Snow Soap but want to find something better and switch. I want as much cleaning action as possible without stripping wax. Suggestions?

Hey guys, I have a friend that has a boat and wants to know if I can detail it for him. I don't think he wants much more than to get the oxidation off a blue 12" stripe down the hull. I have never touched a boat. I have only worked on cars. I have a GG DA, MF pads, and various foam pads. My...

Been asked to look at a red car that made contact with a garage frame backing out. I'm told it has white paint [transfer] damage. Before I look at it what is the suggested method for dealing with paint transfer?

How long do these discs last using a DA? I use them for headlight restoration and I'm not sure when to dispose of each disc. I usually use 1 3000 or 1000 finishing disc per pair of light before I discard. With the sanding disc I use one per light before discarding. Am I throwing money away?

Is there a real difference in glass polish and paint polish/compound? I know glass is harder so glass polish may be more aggressive but would that's make it like a paint compound? Could I use a polish or compound I have already with a glass polish pad?

I enjoy watching good videos to learn more about detailing. My favorite is Larry of Ammo NYC but I've watched all his stuff. Now I'm looking for suggestions of other great video makers. And yes I've watched Mike Phillips videos too. I have watched a few Auto Fetish but he rambles on too...

Any guesstimates on how many gallons of water it takes to wash a car ? I would like to get a tank in the bed of my truck but I have no idea what size is the minimum I need. I don't want one too big, just big enough to wash one car and wheels.

Do you do several section passes per 2' x 2' or do you apply it like a LSP and go over the whole vehicle quickly and then wipe off? What is your preferred pad? I guess I know it really can depend on what your trying to accomplish but I'm wondering what is most common use. After all, I don't...

Finally have pics of my first motorcycle detail.

Which would you buy? McCulloch MC1385 or Vapamore MR100?

What is the black junk that comes off rubber window trim? Is it old dressing or "dead" dried up rubber? What's the best to get it off? Seems like it never stops coming off.

I have a White mid 2000s model Dodge Ram to work on next week and it has door molding that's pretty bad looking. Is there any saving this and what should I try? Sent from my iPhone using Tapat

Do I need to strip any current wax/sealant before applying UPGP? I have Collinte 845 on my paint now.

I've never detailed a bike. Possibly have a Harley to do this weekend... Any suggested tools and products?

My boss wants me to remove swirls from his lady friends 2010 black Lexus. He is going to have it washed at a local scratch-n-wash and bring it to me. He simply wants me to clay and remove the swirls, wax the wheels, and put on some tire dressing. So, how much for: -Clay whole car -Tape off...
