    Old Cringe worthy Detailing Techniques

    Hello all! I was thinking about the old ways I used to clean cars and it made me cringe. I used to use bath towels to dry the car, use one bucket to do the whole car, and clean it with a sponge. I used to only drive Black cars too, I'd hate to see the paint of those cars now. Yikes...

    Are "love marks" inevitable??

    I washed my Explorer today and I'm always extra careful when washing my paint, foam cannon, my mitts and drying towels after every wash, change them regularly, and always use drying aid plus the master blaster sidekick, but today the sun hit the paint and I saw "love marks" on the paint. I...
