Washing my cars today I noticed these reddish spots (not rail dust) all over my white Sti as well as my silver 4Runner. The Sti is ceramic coated. Washing the car did not remove all of these. I did use a quick detailer and that seemed to remove most of these. Curious what these spots are and...

I washed my car for the first time today and noticed that my drying towels feel like they are grabby to the touch. I only use high quality microfiber towels and wash them using microfiber wash. Is this normal for towels to feel this way? I am also having trouble drying my windows without getting...

Today I was washing my car (White Subaru) and noticed that I have little red spots all over the paint. Typically I get these during the summer in a few spots, but this time they are everywhere. It looks like rail dust, but washes away with some effort. What are these spots and how do I safely...

I am looking for a quick detailer and uv protection spray. I tried IGL ecoclean interior, but it left some streaking on the plastics.

Does anyone have any opinions on this product or has anyone used this in the past? I like that it's a more natural product and want to use it as an overall interior cleaner

For this winter I plan to coat my car with a sealant for some immediate protection, but as the weather breaks I plan to have a professional detail shop ceramic coat the car. I spoke with a reputable shop in the area and they mentioned that they have options that will last between 4-5 years. I...

I have a 2019 CWP Subaru and am looking to protect the paint. Car is a daily driver and is parked outside 100% of the time. I am not ready to drop $1000 + to ceramic coat and am looking to wash, decontaminate it and seal it. Below are some of the sealants I am considering. Have read good reviews...

I took delivery of my 2019 CWP Sti 3 weeks ago and was traveling after. Just had a chance to wash yesterday and noticed that there were 2-3 Yellow marks about an inch long on the paint. I tried to use a light polish to remove, but they would not budge. Anyone have any idea of what these are and...

Looking for some detailing advice! I have a relatively high mileage Subaru and have noticed that the steering wheel, door cards and arm rest all feel sticky/tacky. The door cards on the faux leather parts actually look like they have adhesive that can be removed. I know that this is most...

I would like some opinions on the different options out there. I am leaning towards the CarPro Poly Shave Decon Towel or the Griots Surface Prep Pad. I will be working on a 2007 satin white pearl Subaru Wrx Sti. The car is heavily contaminated even after Iron X treatment. Traditional Clay is...

I washed my car yesterday (2007 satin white pearl Sti) and noticed red dots and stains all over my car. They are small and I was able to wash some,but not all of them off. Its not rail dust as I have that too and color wise it looks very different. My guess it is stains from the leaves falling...

As the title states I am looking for a product that will replace clay barring and also not marr the paint. I have seen various pads and gloves, but am worried about giving them a try because of the soft paint on my 07 Sti (Satin White Pearl). The paint is white so the marring will be hard to...

Hi, I am relatively new to this forum and the world of detailing. I have an 07 SWP Sti that I noticed has a lot of cloudiness on the hood scoop as well as the top of the driver door in a small area. Assuming it is oxidation I was wondering if there is anything I can do to remove it or at least...

I have an 07 Satin White Pearl Sti and am having difficulty removing all of the rail rust from the car. After washing the car I used Iron X (spray) spread it around with the applicator and waited 5 minutes before rinsing. This took some of the rust of but not all of it. I repeated this step 2...
