    Suede/Alcantra maintenance and protection

    Hello all! I recently purchased a new 2022 Ford F150 platinum. I absolutely love the truck and it’s gorgeous interior. However, I noticed it has a suede like material as an accent throughout the interior. It is a very light tan color and it’s already turning a little darker on the driver seat...

    Mattmann’s new shop!

    Well, I just spent an hour drooling over DFB’s garage post and decided to show the one I’ve built recently for myself. We moved into a rural area 5 years ago and I’ve wanted a metal building “shop” for quite some time. When I started growing my Ford truck obsession, my wife finally caved lol! I...

    New Tesla model 3

    Hello everyone! Just a weekend warrior that does this as a true hobby but we finally took delivery of my wife’s new Tesla 3 performance and before she drove it much, I told her I wanted to coat it and get it dialed in.

    Mag wheels

    So I recently acquired a 89 Ford Bronco. I’ve wanted a bronco since i was about 14 and never seemed to find one that i really liked until now. The paint is really nice, original interior is nice but overall it still needs some tlc. I’m doing one thing at a time but the first thing I’m doing is...

    Newby Adventure

    So I have been detailing as a hobby for a little while now. I’m only 32 and with a wife and 3 kids, I stay pretty busy. Me, my brother and father own a decent size construction company and make a good living off of that. I always see me doing this for a full time job. I thoroughly enjoy what I...

    A new project

    I am not sure if anyone read my 350z thread I started or not? It was my first project car and I decided it wasn’t really for me. I REALLY have always wanted a v8 muscle car so I found one. It really is mint and can’t believe the deal I got on it but the paint seems a little dull/oxidized? Was...

    Quick pad question

    So I recently used several pads polishing and waxing my new car and realized when I placed my big newby order, I forgot one important item.....pad and microfiber cleaner. So I jumped online just to order that and $300 later checked out. Received it today and am wondering a few things. It’s been...

    My new (to me) project car

    Well I finally took the plunge a couple weeks ago and bought a project car. I’ve been wanting one for a LONG time and have come so close to pulling the trigger and backed out for several reasons. Well I blinked and I’m 31 with three kids and happily married but I’m not getting any younger and...

    Towels and pads

    Another newby question that I’m sure is out there but I’m going to ask and apologize for the repetitiveness. What’s the best way to care for buffer pads and microfiber towels?? I bought some pad cleaner but I don’t want to buy a $200 machine for them. Is there a way t just soak them and clean...

    Hello all!! I am going to pick up my very first “toy car” tomorrow. I’ve always wanted something to play around with and have fun in and finally pulled the trigger on one. 2003 Nissan 350Z. It only has 38,000 miles and is garage kept. My brother was the original owner, bought it, fixed it up and...

    Newby question

    So I've been lurking long enough and need to ask a question about polishers...what's the best buffer/polisher for a complete Newby who has never messed with any power tool on paint? Local store sells the flex series and Porter-Cable. Anyone? Thanks!
