    Fast Interior Detailer

    I was and am a big fan of mckees fast interior detailer. Most of my rides don't get very dirty and usually just need a nice little touch up. The detailer was great for a mild clean with some basic protectant and I really liked that it was safe for lcd screens. Does anyone have a comparable...

    What Happened to Mckees?

    I just went searching for some of their quick interior detailer and couldn't find it. Did a search and see none of their products anymore. Did I miss something?

    The Truck Roof

    So last weekend I detailed my silverado. Wash, ironx, clay, rinse, dry, tape, hdspeed, cleaned glass inside/out, WETS. It's a 4 hour+ process for me for a mostly defect free vehicle and I'm always beat at the end. So I'm going to be honest and I'm wondering if I'm alone and will take a beating...

    Best Scratch Remover Combo for a DA?

    Sorry for a topic that's been beaten to death, I'm a little heated at the moment. I had to vent. Thought I was handling this quarantine with my 3 kids pretty well... and then today I find a door length scratch down the side of my black 19 silverado's door. bikes... Anyhow, I threw a yellow pad...

    MK360 or HDSpeed on 19 Black Silverado

    I own them both and have used them each once. I can't say I developed an overwhelming preference for either, but maybe leaning towards 360 a little. Anyhow, this weekend I intend to 1 step the silverado with <2k miles on it before winter. She's mint and looking for protection above all else...

    The Best Product Ever!?

    Another thread had me curious. In your detailing life, what in your opinion is the best product you ever used. Could be relative to the time it came out or current. For simplicity lets avoid mechanical items and tools and stick with applications.

    Is there a wheel coating that is worth it?

    We all know that certain wheel styles, cars and pads just lend themselves to dust, dirt and grime. And if you're like me, you notice your rims get dirty first and it probably drives you nuts. I have been using hydro blue and have noticed some added longevity to my wheels, and I like that it's...

    Steam Cleaning Basics

    Just bought my first steam cleaner. Videos and articles on how best to approach the use of the product are pretty wildly varied so I thought I'd ask you fine folks. 1. For carpet / upholstery, it seems some spray with an apc first. Is this something I should do or does it depend on how dirty...

    Hobby Steam Cleaner?

    I'm not sure if I'll get any good info here given the site restrictions, but I've been looking at my carpets and while it's still not spring I dread working on getting the salt out of these. I'm not a pro, I just maintain my own fleet of 3 cars, 2 of which have leather seats. Is there...

    Clay before topper?

    In June I laid down some MK360 on my silverado. Since then it's been washed and had some extender wax applied a few times and while diminishing, the sealant from the 360 is still going strong. As I get ready for winter I want to apply some 10 minute sealant or sonax spray and wax (still not...

    PBMG Question

    I got into detailing maybe 4 years ago. Googled "detailing forum" and joined AG. 3 kids later I've picked it up again and have been active this summer reading, posting and spending money. It was when I receive my first warning for a HF mf towel deal that I realized this wasn't an ordinary forum...

    Your Favorite Wash and Wax

    What's your favorite wash and wax and why? I've never used one, but would like to pick some up for my personal cars to use in between detail jobs. Normally I just wash with megs gold class. Any downside to a wash and wax? I should add that I typically use a foam gun.

    Best Trim Detailer also for Engine Bay?

    I already own some basic trim clean and restore products but don't want to use them in the engine bay as I'm not sure if they are oil based or not. I'm wondering if anyone has a favorite trim shine/protect that also does well for the engine bay. Nothing fancy, just something i can spray, brush...

    Best Glass Coating?

    I've always used rainx and generally don't have an issue. Sometimes I see some fogging but it's rare and I notice it also can be noisy with my wipers. It doesn't last more than a month really and I've been in search of a longer lasting replacement. None of the coatings in the store seem to get...

    Thoughts on my process

    I'm still a relatively novice detailer. I'm not in any business and this applies to personal vehicles of mine. I also have a full time job and 3 kids under the age of 5. So... time is precious. Not looking to replace all my stuff, most is still pretty full. My rides 09 Pontiac G8GT 15 Ford...

    Get Wax Out of Plastic?

    I started novice detailing with my new porter a few years ago on a car without any plastic trim. This year I used poorboy's world polish with sealant on my wife's explorer that was about 6 months old. I was sloppy around the bottom where it transitions from metal silver body to plastic black...

    Your Other Car...

    Just got into some more "serious" detailing. I've always taken good car of my cars, but recently I bought some menzerna products and a porter cable for my Pontiac G8. Include wash, clay, polish and seal this process as we all know takes a whole day or parts of 2 days. I'd like to pay some...
