So I find myself more and more going to Facebook for advice bc it is both easier to use and has quicker responses. I always go to the forum for lengthier questions and reviews but I feel that slowly groups on Facebook will over take the forum. I just want to know everyone's thoughts on this and...

So I'm updating my microfibers from when I first started and need help on which to get. So far I've liked the Chemical Guys but I haven't really tried any others. I'm really looking for general use if thats possible but more importantly, towels meant to take off polish, waxes, sealants etc...

So I'm looking at getting a firemans hose nozzle as a replacement to my crappy 6 function spray nozzle and I wanted to know everyone's opinion. Are the firemen's nozzles worth it or what does everyone else use. Thanks in advance.

I was reading Mike Phillips's complete guide to a show car shine and in the section where he talks about rinseless washes at the end where he has all the products lined up on page 21 and 22 there is a measuring thing on top of the bottle. Can anybody tell me what that is called or link me to one...

So I've seen some people talking about ozone machines and I've done just a little research and all I've found is it uses negative ions to remove odors and they cost a fortune. So if anyone can clarify this for me I'd be incredibly grateful and how much do they usually cost because the ones I've...

Just wondering what everyone uses for scenting cars after doing the interior. I've used chemical guys and enjoy that, but want to know what other options are out there. Please no answers like, "I give them the smell of a cleaned car" Thanks for the help.

Probably stupid question, but how can I tell if I should use medium or fine grade clay. I'm a home guy so I've only had one type of clay, but I bought a nanoskin clay sponge recently to speed it up and it came with both fine and medium. Also is it harmful to use a medium if it doesn't need it...

So I've been detailing as a hobby for a few years, only doing the simple stuff and no full corrections until later this year. I was wondering first if you had to recommend only one of the following books which would it be: Mike Phillips' The Art of Detailing or Mike Phillips' The Complete Guide...

So I switch between using regular car wash solution and ONR for washing cars depending on how bad the car looks. I know that with ONR you can just put a Gamma Seal Lid on the five gallon bucket and then use it again in the near future. It doesn't seem like this would work with regular car wash...

So I've only really stepped up my detailing this year by upgrading my product quality and getting a DA and bc of this I'm considering starting a small part time driveway business. I see a lot of guys use AIOs, but being where I am I'm clueless as to what it is or when to use it so I was hopeful...

I was wondering if I'm the only one with this problem, but I've found that since starting detailing at home a few years ago as a hobby to now where its a full blown love and hopefully soon to be small business, that I have products laying around that I've never used because I upgraded my arsenal...

I know I'm nowhere near becoming a Senior Member, but I was curious how you become a Senior Member. Like is it a selection or is it based on your amount of posts. Just curious.

I don't know how many of you on here use Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine but I was hoping to get an opinion on its use against road salt because I have a car that is totally covered in salt, but I dont want to get the hoses out.

So its a while off until its warm enough to detail here in North Jersey, but once its warm enough I'm going to do my first swirl removal with a DA and was wondering if anybody had any tips. I've read the articles by Mike Phillips, but I was wondering if any of the pros out there had any tips or...

So I have a carpet brush that attaches to my drill and I was considering getting the Chemical Guys Fabric Clean, but I'm not sure if I can use it with my brush or as a general carpet shampoo instead of just spot treatment. Thanks in advance

Both bored and curious with this one so what is everyones top 10 list of brushes. I know my list would easily be topped by my variety tire and rim brushes, but I want everyones opinion. Both interior and exterior brushes included. Im the MAN Im the MAN

So I'm considering opening a seasonal fixed location detailing business and while I can easily calculate many costs, the cost of insurance is quite hard bc I don't have an official business title yet. Could anybody give me a guesstimate of what I would pay and as general info, I'm doing it from...

So let me preface by saying I'm 17 and I've been detailing for a few years now. This year I upgraded most of my products to name brands that are not OTC and I got a DA. So depending on how good I get with the DA I was considering turning my skill into a summer business to make some money and I...

I'm going to start off by saying that I am only a weekend warrior. On that note, I have been using my home vacuum to vacuum the interiors and though it works fine it can become a nuisance because of the size. I'm mostly just picking up crumbs and fine things such as that. So my question is, is...

I know there are many threads on cleaning foam pads, but I couldn't find one specific to my needs. Basically I'm a weekend warrior so I don't have the money for the Universal Pad Cleaner; however, thanks to a thread here I'm making one myself. I just want to know what to use in the system along...
