    What is this on my paint?

    I haven't been in the auto detailing scene in several years, just occasional waxing/washing the car 6-7 times a year and a polish every other year. I've got two paint problems that I have no clue about. 1. Sticky mess low on driver's door. Does not wash off, at least not easily, and comes off...

    Getting a detailing job?

    Hi, I'm a college student so this summer I will be applying for a detailing job. There are about 5-6 detailing companies in my town that aren't just car washes that I'm looking at. However, I was wondering what were some skills I should mention that employers are looking for and just what I...

    best thing to slow down self-inflicted clear coat failure?

    so a few months ago, the garage door closed down on my Mustang and caused a large paint chip / this weird line on my rear end. at the time it wouldn't come off from compounding so I left it as is, although I did attempt to (poorly) fix the paint chip.

    303 multi surface cleaner dilution ratios?

    Hi, I recently got a bottle of the 303 multi surface cleaner and it didn't come with any recommended dilution ratios on the bottle. I was wondering what you guys diluted it to? Doing a jeep with a vinyl top tomorrow, but I'd also like to do interiors too. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Okay, what is this?!

    I have a weird looking thing on the hood of my mustang that won't come off despite 15 or so passes I've done with a DA polisher. You can't feel it but it reflects light in a weird way. I have two of them actually. It looks like dents in the clearcoat or something. Also it's really hard to take a...

    When to use different methods for scratch repair?

    Okay, as a newbie detailer, I'm generally confused. I've repaired a lot of minor scratches using Ultimate Compound, both by hand and now with my PC. I know you can wet sand scratches and use clearcoat pens, as well as a compound to fix scratches. However, when do you know which method to use...
