I own a 2021 Mazda with the 3-stage Soul Crystal Red Color. I only have 5K miles on it and chipping doesn't seem to be above normal but there's quite a lot of anecdotal evidence from owners of the same color Mazda's that it's not a very durable paint. Rumor is because they are painted in...

I'm curious, on a moderately dirty car, no caked on mud clumps or lots of salt build up but still pretty dirty, if you plan on using ONR or McKees N914 and don't have a water shortage or freezing temps in your area, would you recommend incorporating a pressure washing step? In other words, is...

I'm 52 and just bought my 28th car (brand new - yes I come from a "Car Family") I estimate I've spent at least 150 hours over the past 30 years reading about car care/detailing, techniques, products, etc. I sort of laugh at myself from time to time thinking I'm having hard time deciding to...

Brand new car. Going to just protect the front of the hood, tips of the front fenders and mirrors. I don't keep my cars more than 4 years 50K miles and my last one the bumper looked good and it's a royal PITA to do a bumper and not going to fork out $1K to an install shop. I've done this once...

I've got a silver Acura MDX. I've gone over it with a rotary and polished everything I could get out without burning the clearcoat. I've got a few scratches that were just a little too deep and although they are small and shallow and aren't all the way through the paint, they show up as white...

Over the years through my own experience I tended to prefer to just keep my windshield really clean. On a newer car with a windshield in good condition and a good set of wiper blades, this seem to offer the best rain performance. I put Aquapel on the sides, mirrors and rear since there are not...

Recently detailed my "new" used car for the first time. Has quite a few scratches in the clear coat (Acura MDX). I used Meguiars m105 with a yellow foam pad on a drill - first time I used a rotary. I was quite surprised how fast I could run the drill (full speed) with decent pressure without...

This 2010 Acura MDX, driver's seat the taipe grey color on the seat is wearing away in a few spots, mainly on the outside bolster. Car only has 39K so I guess Honda needs to work on the leather durability? Of course, previous owner may not have done anything to maintain. I was thinking of...

Have brand new wipers and this Acura MDX I just bought (39K miles) the wipers "smear" in that briefly the window looks sort of like it's fogged up (on the outside). Smears worse on the return pass. Not that bad. I figured there must be some build-up/residue or something on the windshield so I...
