So, this has been an issue for a year or two now. It seemed to happen suddenly and everything was linty. Leaves linty in windows the worse, but paint as well. I wash them with microfiber specific detergent, and air dry. Then, before folding and putting away, I go over both sides with a linty...

I don't plan to do this anytime soon I need to wait this Gtechniq coating out, but how does one safely polish vinyl car stripes? Specifically my sonic blue ones on the GT500? It's never been something I've had to think about. Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk

So, I noticed there is one topic I am always as odds with others about. Vehicle preservation. Specifically exotics, usually, that are not driven or kept ar very low miles. Never see a track. Aren't beat on. Etc. Firstly, I'm never one to shame someone for their financial success. Congrats on...

So as requested by a couple guys I am posting a "build thread" for my car which recently got a major upgrade. I will tell you guys what I have done so far and what I plan to do going forward, as well as end goals. Pictures will be included of course. This is my third VW but the first I decided...

So, either tonight or tomorrow I plan on detailing the GLIs engine bay. I have honestly never done it before. Either had a vehicle too old to care or a new car never stuck around long enough. But the GLI has nearly four years of dust and dirt underhood, and it's looking really gross. I bought...

I see there are many old threads on such things here, and elsewhere. Mostly about No. 845. About 48 hours after applying wax your entire car is covered in an oily haze. I discovered on my own that the best way to remove is detailing spray and elbow grease. But, I just polished and waxed the...

So, nine weeks ago my wife and I had our daughter. Needless to say my world has changed drastically since. We are on Mila-time now. That said my hobbies(all of them) have been put on hold for the most part. She gets fussy when the Xbox is turned on, it never fails. I haven't been to the boat in...

So, not sure if I mentioned it anywhere on here but I have two Griot's Garage Brillant Shine Foam Cannons. One for pre-wash, and one for standard shampoo. Well after a few washes I noticed that if you didn't let the foam cannon dry out the metal ball on the end of the pick-up tube rusts. Huh...

I have had the same microfiber towels for years, my one dozen blue edgeless towels seem to be holding up well after years of use and dozens and dozens of washes. No fraying or tears on the edges. No stains. Soft and plush as can be. They look like the day I unboxed them. However, they are...

I used to help a buddy who owned a detailing business during the busy season. I worked for free, the tradeoff was getting time and experience behind his fancy Rupes polishers and experiencing what it was like polishing various paints from multiple brands. I really enjoyed it. Typically we would...

It varies, but right now Berliner Style Ales are my nectar. Afterall, it's not about the ABV, is about the trip to Flava Town!

I'm almost out of glass cleaner and was feeling adventurous. I have had great success with all of the Meg's Detailer line of products. The economical factor of these products is a great plus too! How do you guys feel about D120? Currently using Stoner's Invisible Glass, I like the stuff, have no...

I have a small scuff on my front bumper cover, the bumper cover has 3 layers of CP 9H, 2 layers of CP Lite, and under all that Suntec PPF. What would be the best route to go in attempts to remove this scuff mark? The spot is 1"x1 1/2" roughly, and I can juuuuuuuust sorta feel it dragging an...

Hey guys, I helped my father prep and show three of his vehicles this weekend. This year was the first year showing his '91 Ram W250, as it turned 25. The truck has massive tires, massive to me anyways. They were Coopers of one model line or another and they had tons of grooves going all sorts...

Hi guys, first threader here. I wanted to share some humor with y'all today. The detailing shop I work part time at has heavily tinted windows that you can't see into, but can see out of, for security obviously. There are vacuum stations lined up alongside the building that anyone can use, as...
