    How to clean up a muddy car?

    I went out and had some fun yesterday. First time doing a rallyx, placed 6th in class on summer tires and taking it easy over the rough sections. Now, I need to come up with an attack plan for cleaning it. I imagine its a little too dirty for ONR. I washed it and put a fresh coat of wax on it...

    What do you think of this process?

    So some of you may know, I got in an accident at the end of December and had to buy a new car. I usually would wait to order instead of taking dealer stock, but I didn't want to drive my garage queen around in the ice and snow with all the rock and salt. Long story short, I bought a new 09 Blue...

    I spent 8 hours today on the car doing a wash (onr), clay (megs), polish (optimum, white lc smart pad), ipa, klasse aio (gray lc smart pad), klasse sg (red lc smart pad), and I would imagine about half the time was spent buffing the aio and glaze. The polishing took a while as expected and ipa...

    Removing wax residue from trim

    The very first thing I did when I got my new car a little over a year ago was bring it home and do a clay polish and seal. I taped it off, but either I missed a spot, the tape ripped, or product got underneath it and ever since the car was new, I have had a small spot of residue on the mirrors...

    I love my foam gun

    This past weekend we were out of town for our anniversary and decided to have a wine picnic. I googled state parks and entered the closest one into the nav. Well, the nav didn't take us to the park, it took us 3 miles down a one lane (hardly) dirt path that ended in a dead end. I figured while I...

    Which was?

    I have been using DG 901 for the past year or so after switching from megs. I like how it foams up, smells and how slick and smooth it is gliding across the paint. Lately however, I have been opting to use Optimum ONR for washing in the garage on the high temp days now that I no longer have a...

    Need help choosing pad and polish

    When I got my car the dealer had put some scratches in it, and I might have added some myself when I first got it using a cheap wash mitt and cheap mf's. I have polished it twice and they never came out so this time I am determined. I am using edge pads (I have some lc's but no backing plates)...

    Which to use for foam cannon?

    I was wondering which of the following soaps would be best to use with a foam cannon (pre-wash method), and which would be best as a conventional wash shampoo. Really only thinking about my own two cars, one that gets washed or quick detailed every time its driven, and the daily driver that gets...
