Got into detailing more seriously last year - but only have my driveway to work in, as my garage is a storage/workshop - nice and tidy, but can't fit a car in there. It's really hard waiting for the perfect overcast day to show up - hoping that I have a few hours on that specific day to start...

Even after taping - while using my PC and applying some DP Max Wax.... I got some wax on the black trim, and a couple days after - its now showing up as white residue. For now, I've used some trim gel to get rid of it, but something tells me it's more of a mask then a fix. Any suggestions to...

Does Poorboy's Black Hole stain trim? Planning on stripping my weakening LSP this weekend - polishing with PB Blackhole - then slapping my Max Wax back on... anyone know about it staining trim (black in colour)? (I wouldn't think so as it's a dark liquid, and meant for dark cars... but....)

I have a black SUV, and use optimum spray wax as a "refresher" to my DP max wax after a wash. The last two times I've used it, it's leaving crazy streaks... Really visible on the black paint. After using a fresh MF and 1/4 of a 16 oz bottle of UWW+, I've gotten rid of the majority of them...

So after reading plenty of threads and forums, it's clear that CG CWn'G is the winner when it comes to taking off any remaining LSP before adding a fresh coat. I know some guys say use Dawn, but others TOTALLY disagree... so we'll stick with soaps that are meant for cars... makes sense. I...

Well, my first detail after getting onto "professional" detailing using/reading/watching vids on AG. Last weekend, washed, clayed (nanoskin), polished with D151... 6 hrs. This weekend, washed and tossed on a layer of DP Max Wax.... And did the tires and trim with CG Trim Gel.... And interior...

Can we get some conversation about how a spray wax can be used as a drying aid? I'm new to the hobby - now taking it to the "weekend warrior" level from just a car wash and doing tires.... Reading a review on Meg's Spray wax, people stated they use it as a drying aid. How? Does it go in a...

When wanting to remove a light dust on the hood and there's already a layer of lsp on, what comes first, QD or spray wax? I would think the QD right... as you want the wax to be on a nice clean surface. I just read on another site that a guy is using the spray wax to remove dust with a MF, but...

With D151 having the option to be "toned down" with the use of different pads, could it be used with a orange/white pad to remove swirls initially, and then as a polish by using a black pad 2-3 times a year after that with messing with the CC? To remove lsp before re-applying a new coat? Also...

So, for an AIO for both doing a minor scratch/swirl remover first off... then from that point forward just doing a "polish/buff" to bring back the black glossyness.... which of these products is better and why? I've been leaning towards the BFTPS as i've seen a couple reviews with good results...

When your coat of wax starts to fade and you need to apply a new coat of wax... is it really required to strip it all completely (dawn wash), or can you just go to town with some new wax on the 'ol PC7424 and put on a new coat? Pro's / Con's ?

New to the hobby, and before I spend $400-$500 on my first order.... I'm still fuzzy in one area. I plan on doing a wash/nanoskin/swirl remover & glaze (WG)/wax.... But here's my question.... Two/three months when the lsp starts to fade and I want to "brighten the shine" and then put on...

When doing a correction using the wolfgang SR 3.0, how much if it really nessesary to tape off your chrome/plastic trim? All the videos show everyone working on the hood... but when working on door panels etc... is it really a must-do step? Also... is it required if just doing a polish with a...

So i'm about to place my first order after 6 weeks of reading and research. The one area I'm still a little stuck on is pads. I have a black "lightly swirled" CUV, so I'm pretty sold on a set of orange and white pads (used with the Wolfgang SR twins)... and then I think red to apply waxes...

Looking for opinions on how good/safe it is to leave auto detailing products in a garage throughout the cold Canadian Winters? For the most part, it's an uninsulated garage - but it's my workshop, and there's no air leaks or anything. It easily gets to -20 C (sometimes to -30) throughout the...

One confusing thing to a newbie getting into this hobby/religon... is what speed to use for what job being performed? I know to use a speed of 1-2 just to move the inital coating of any product, after using the "kiss" method on a panel... Specifically talking about the PC 7424xp, what speed...

Hey guys... looking for some opinions here. I have a black 2013 Santa Fe 2.0T, had it for a year now, and as soon as the white stuff melts - will be doing a solid detail job on it. New to the "professional" side of things - been doing plenty of homework for a month now on detailing products...

Ok, so we have the wash/dry, clay, polish and wax/sealant steps.... My question is about all the possible "middle" or "in-between" steps that you "could" do when doing a solid detailing job. I have a black 2013 Santa Fe, and with the harsh winters, it's going to need a good clean up come this...

Ok, even with watching video's, and reading Mike's microfibre towel article - I still don't know what MF works best in each situation. I know that there's a lot of "opinion" into the best MF towels out there... but in general, what's the best MF for: After a wash: I've heard Mothers WW, or...

Well, Now that I've been reading up on detailing for the past two weeks, schooling myself on waxing, proper washing etc... I quickly saw today after a quick car wash that I'll have polishing in my future. In good old Canada, there's no way getting around a snow brush in the winter months...
