I would like to ask whether cleaning some panels of the car with quick detailer is safe, and would not result in scratches or swirls. My car was washed and waxed 3.5 weeks ago. Since then, the car was only driven 4 times (10 miles and 30 minutes on sunny day EACH, so 40 miles and 2 hours in...

Well, I started detailing my car on Friday, but couldn't finish because I dropped all the clays... I was going to continue yesterday or today, but the weather is unbearable. So I will likely to pick up where I left off on upcoming Thursday (6 days after I started detailing my car). Would it...

Hello. I would like to know how I can clean inside parts of door panels and rocker panels (the painted parts that are not exposed to outside). Can I just use APC and cloth, and wiped it down? Or do I have to use degreaser only? I will also be applying wax or sealant on these parts as well...

I bought Meg's metal polish yesterday because it was on sale. I was going to properly polish the exhaust tips in spring, but I might as well do it now. I don't have proper tools though... I don't have steel wool, polishing soap, polishing pad, etc. I just have a couple of oz of Iron X...

Hello. I have a question about sealant and wax. I washed, decontaminated (Iron X and claybar), and applied a coat of Klasse sealant yesterday 2:30PM (Thursday). I buffed it off after half an hour or so. And 11:00 AM today (Friday), I applied second coat of Klasse sealant. I buffed it off after...

I am planning to have my 2011 E93 professionally detailed for the first time. The detailer said he uses Opti Coat only, and he hasn't waxed a car in the last 5 years. Apparently it will wear off in 2 years (I am aware there are different versions)... Here are some questions I have for those who...

Hello. I'm a noob when it comes to detailing. I tried to detail my car today. So far I did washing, Iron X, claybar, one coat of glaze (Griot's Garage Paint Glaze) and one coat of sealant (Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze). I've read that putting glaze BEFORE sealant can prevent the sealant...

Hello. I am a noob when it comes to detailing. I have a question about polish and wax For years, I've applied 2-3 coats of Zaino Z-5 PRO mixed with ZFX on my car before applying wax (Collinite 845). The polish has always been applied by hand. Now I'm told applying such polish is redundant...
