Seems like new cars these days come with a sea of piano black plastics in the interior. Mine is the same. Right now since the car is new there are no scratches. But left unprotected I'm sure it won't stay that way for long. What is the best product to prevent or at least delay scratches on...

So just purchased a brand new car, 2022 Hyundai Tucson. First brand new car in a while. And definitely first one since I've been a detailing hobbyist. Car only has 35 miles and gave explicit instructions for detailer to NOT wash or touch exterior. Car is dirty but definitely looks like...

So it's been around 5 years since I've been visiting forums like these and keeping up with technology. I know there are probably many threads on the latest and greatest. Is there anything I am missing out on? From 5+ years ago, it was ONR, CQuartz for ceramic coating, PERL for rubber/leather...

Yes, kind of odd question but picked up some Johnston & Murphy dress shoes at Goodwill and have PERL on hand. Would it be ok to use? Thanks

I bought 3 bottles around a year ago (30ml, 2 50ml) Just recently did my wifes car with half of one 50ml bottle. Will use the other half to work on my dads car. That leaves me with 2 unopened bottles of CQuartz. They are the 2014 version and are unopened in temperature controlled room. So how...

I have been using a foam gun for a few years now with regular water hose. Just purchased a pressure washer and foam cannon is on it's way. Just wanted to know what are the build differences from gun to cannon. Can't I just hook up my foam gun to pressure washer. Will it suds the same? What it...

Anyone use the Harbor Freight pressure washer. Is it any good and what adapter does it use to adapt a foam cannon? Thanks

Ok, I kind of picked up bowling and just purchased my first bowling ball recently. Apparently they need to be cleaned and polished regularly. So can I polish with most of the polishes people use on here (Meguiars, Menzerna, etc) Is anyone also a bowler here? Thanks

Griots: gry-otts? gree-otts? Other... Rupes: roops? roop-ess? Other...

Ok, what is your procedure on filling up foam gun container. Just read on Autogeek and it says to put soap in first and then spray water. With this you will get less water and just a bunch of foam in container. I normally put water in and then soap. Close things up and shake just a bit to mix...

Ok, my car is coated with CQuartz Are these products safe to use and won't strip coating? I'm thinking yes they are safe but just want to be sure Iron-X? Nanoskin clay substitute bar? Clay? Eraser? Thanks

Listening to JunkMan, ordered and received the Eagle Microfiber towels from Rag Company. Gotta say these are worth the money. Didn't realize they could be this soft. Of course I am comparing these against Sams Club and Costco towels.

Ok, going to detail a friends car soon. I don't have CQuartz (best product I have used). Just wondering how Reload on its own? Is it almost as good as CQuartz? Beading on its own? Durability? I know it was meant as a topper but not sure how it will do on it's own. Thanks

Which polish to get. I have M105/M205 twins but need something finer. Is Sf4500 too fine. Is sf4000 enough with black pad. Thoughts

On my street no one does anything to their car. Once in a while they'll wash it but absolutely nothing else. No vacuuming, cleaning glass, etc. I am the only one that gives my car weekly car washes. I polish probably once a year but probably less now with new coatings.

Probably dumb question, why can't they make a harder clear coat, you know one that you can't scratch. Is there a reason why clear coat has to be so soft that a simple swipe of a towel will mar it. Is it too difficult to make one rock hard? I know there is a good reason for this though...

Ok, what do you guys do about sweeping snow off car and trying to not mar the paint. Those snow brushes can't be good for the paint. Any thoughts/tips to minimize marring short of parking in a garage?

Car-new-ba Car-no-ba Car-naw-ba I'm guessing the first one?

Ok, it's going to get cold pretty soon. I live in Colorado so we definitely get cold. What products are safe to be stored in the garage during winter and what aren't. As a general rule now, I put all wax and polishes inside the house so they stay at room temperature (summer and winter). What...

I bought this Gilmour foam gun last year on Amazon Amazon.com : Gilmour 75QGFMR Foamaster Adjustable Multi Ratio Cleaning Gun : Watering Nozzles : Patio, Lawn & Garden It worked great before last night. It was foaming and had no issues. Last night only water was coming out. It wasn't getting...
