Quick newbie question. Someone hit my car and knocked off my mirror, also causing a few nicks in my paint that went straight through to bare metal. Before it rusts I want to seal it. I have an OEM touchup pen stick, but if I use this, how do I go about clear coating it? Would a wax work? The...

I just bought a Honda Element (black). After owning it for a few weeks I noticed a scratch along the entire passenger side of the car. Looks like a branch or something side swiped it at some point. Not sure if it was there when I bought it or not honestly. Pics attached here. Sorry for the...

Hey guys. Just got a new car. It's bright red. I don't go crazy with detailing usually. My process typically includes a thorough wash with meguiars, meguiars cleaner wax, and then collinite. With this car I'd like to get a little more involved. Here is what I'm thinking: Clay, then cleaner...

Hey guys. I live in NC. Just got a new jeep and don't have to worry about treated roads here, but I'm making a drive up to New york in a couple weeks and I'm wondering what I should do when I get home to remove road salt from the car and underneath. Should I just spray it down? I will probably...

Hey guys. I've done everything to try and get the water spots off of my Jeep's windshield and tinted glass on the hardtop. I've used glass cleaners, elbow grease, even clay bar and it still looks like this (see pics). Any tips?

Hey guys. So I am planning on waxing with 845 tomorrow. I have read the comprehensive guide on here and that helps a lot. But what I didn't see mentioned was how to do sections. On the bottle it says to do 2x2 sections. Does this mean apply, let dry to a haze, then remove, one 2x2 section at a...

OK, after much deliberation I have settled on using collinite 845. I plan on washing, then claybarring with Meguiar's. My question is, should I go right to applying the collinite after I clay or should I use Meguiar's cleaner wax in between? Either way, how long should I wait after...

I've been going back and forth on what I want to use on my Jeep. I had settled on meguiar's gold wash, clay bar, then cleaner wax. Then possibly down the road Collinite. But I really don't want a super shiny jeep. I just want the best protection. That is much more important to me than...

I'm a beginner, and my plan right now is to wash with Meguiar's gold, claybar, then just use Meguiar's Cleaner wax. At some point I might use Collinite over that. Anyway, I have meguiar's 4" foam applicator pads, but I'm wondering if there is something better? They don't even list wax...

Hey guys. Very new to this. I just bought a jeep wrangler. I have some basic questions. If I want to wax the jeep, do I have to strip off any old wax? How do I know if there is wax on the finish? Does waxing get rid of swirls? There are micro scratch swirls all over the finish from a previous...

Hey guys. I'm going to try and make this one post. Question 1: What is the best, all around microfiber towel? I just want something high quality that won't scratch my paint at all. For washing, applying, shining, etc. Question 2: I am a complete newbie to detailing. Never waxed my own car. I...
