Car was at the -pro shop- for some post PPF touchups. This time of the year, pollen galore I gotta say tho....it really is kinda refreshing picking up a nice clean car when dropping off a dirty one and not having to do the legwork.....HA. Too bad he's in a different state over. If he was...

I keep my steering wheel raw post cleaning....figuered the hand oils in between the next wipedown is enough..... I was on Colourlock site and noticed they had a steering wheel refinish kit Mine is nowhere near that but the LSP they advise is shield...

Bumper replaced. That had fresh paint obviosly The cloudy lower portion was probably swapped from the original bumper (not new) (afaik, not painted/blended) I'm not entirely sure but the matte portion looks like it was*scuffed* for clear coat but it never got clear . I did not notice it upon...

Catchy title :rolleyes: I suppose you gotta use what tools you have. I do have a extractor and prefer that when doing fabric I've seen plenty of videos of pressure washing carpets, taking a drill brush and spin brush agitating, etc. In my mind, I've always looked at it as pushing the dirt...

Does anyone own it. Mainly for washing the roof on the SUV. I've looked at it on and off on this over the last few year Not that one sees the *roof* of the SUV anyway I skipped on it as long handle, head on front....just might as cumbersome as just being on a platform ladder . They must have...

.I suppose Bodyshops do want to release a vehicle that looks dripping wet Just got the car back from the shop. And it's super *glazed* Haven't had a collision repair in quite some time so no data-points on having point loaded up with fillers and such I wonder how it's going to look once all...

For all you pro's or joes out there........you guys are tacking *Shop Supplies* to your services. Eon's ago, one of the mod shops I did this percentage for everything. I've since fallen out of using them but it was some crazy percentage. So whether it was a $500 visit or $11K visit, it was...

I don't you-tube auto detail videos in general but was looking for a specific answer to see if any of the pro's covered it. One famous detail 'tuber had some ~pros~ installing PPF on his vehicle. Said 'tuber goes into detail about how PPF can change the look of his countless hours of perfecting...

I have a tech question on my brain..... Similar to how sensors under body panels, there are certain body panels that Manuf. specs that they must be replaced as repaint/paint thickness or the use of filler can impair these Sensors. Including our current car, I've had 4 cars fully wrapped in...

I was at the PPF shop as I needed to get a quote on a recent side swipe.... In front of me was something new to me. I knew colored PPF existed, but in front of me was easily a deck of 50+ colors in PPF Vinyl wraps was never for me, even though they did offer a plethora of colors....and *ease*...

Granted in any collision, the experience of going from damaged good s to -repaired goods- and seeing non dented panels, etc may affect ones emotional initial response to *great job* from any bodyshop upon pickup I have 3 bodyshops I use. All 3, paint match is always on point, panels aligned...

I k sorta...hate winter washing. There is soooooo much salt and sand and grit and whatever on the roads anyway. I sorta:kinda feel it's pointless yet I know I am at least rinsing off the salt *until it hits the blacktop* after the wash Clean the paint, take it for a drive or just park it...

I'm semi obsessing, debating, thinking.. Got side swiped....the damage was mainly rear fender flare and the left side of the bumper. Wishful thinking PDR could address the slight belly and the *slight protrusion* due to impact of plastic........ PPF seems to have mitigated most paint damage...

Do you Remove your Bucket Grit Inserts Each and Every Time ? I do when I was running the CG ones, and prior to that, the OG Grit Guard I have the Detail Guards + Scrub Wall. It's a pretty SNUG fit. Snug enough that I need to push down on it to bottom out. It's going to be a slight exercise...

My Dirt Guardz Scrub wall came in and it doesn't properly fit with the Screw Tite Bucket Lids System. I haven't used the *lids* portion in over 15+ years but the threaded portion has remained on the buckets since for at least 15+19+ years..... My 1st initial inclination was to use a needle...

Anyone use or own Crash Collision Film. I think I might want to order a roll.....to lay on side skirts, fenders, etc when -modding- and one may potentially lean on things. How tacky or not is this post -removal- is the in inquiry.

IME, all leather dashboards fail.....eventually . I'm considering buying out the lease on our current, as I simply just hate the whole (all screen and no button) approach Has anyone read any issues about potential of over conditioning of leathered or the negative effects it may have to the...

Well, yesterday was a 1st. Some things I have bought for auto detailing I don't use at all for auto detailing. Dupray Steamer for auto's is not my thing but it does make a great hardwood flooring cleaner. For the last decade, car mats manufacturers are so much nicer (TuxMats), I haven't had a...

With the season changing, winter is on the horizon of my mind Are you still a fan of BH touches. I get it's strong....it needs to be in order for it to be touchless. I still have almost a Gallon of Touchless and AutoFoam and it may just sit along with my other touchless stuff. I wouldn't call...

I find....that even after a cleaning and maybe 2-3 medium-short drive sessions....and hands are not filthy.....the steering wheel may take on a satin shine where the hand placement is. I do use a Interior Cleaner on the steering wheel and more often will also clean the DS side - especially the...
