2023 Camry Ice Edge color I filled up gas about a week ago. Most likely, the attendant didn't close the cap properly and the gas leaked. I started smelling gas yesterday, but could not figure out. Tightened the cap and I thought it is fixed. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the gas spilled...

I have tried ceramic coating but have never tried ceramic sprays, like Turtle Wax 53409 Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating or Technicians Choice TEC582 Ceramic Detail Spray or Meguiar's Ceramic wax. How do they compare, other than spray's durability will be significantly shorter? In...

Hello folks, 2015 Subaru Forester with 70K on the odometer. During our recent road trip, the low engine oil light came on, so added half quart of oil but in the rush, forgot to tighten the oil cap. Low engine light came on again with oil sprayed over half of the engine bay. I wiped the oil as...

2015 Subaru Forester's trim was fading. Last weekend, I applied Solution Finish. I was planning to wipe it off after 6 hours, but something came up and I had to attend to the matter. By the end of the day, I completely forgot to wipe off. Yesterday, I got a chance to look at the trim and it was...

At the moment, I am detailing the cars to prep for the (NYC) winter. I will apply 3 coats of FK BWM-1 and will apply the last one in the first week of Nov. After that, I will wipe the car down with FK425 after every wash during winter. Last year, I applied 3 coats but could not apply the last...

I have been reading threads related to WETS and tried to find answers to my questions. Still have some questions. I am planning to apply WETS to 2015 Subaru Forester's trims, Car in question. Thanks for all info/help provided by all experts here, really helped me get off the ground with...

Yesterday, I went to apply a coat of Klasse Sealant and FK1000p on the car to compare which one performs better in winter. I usually do rinseless washing with Wolfgang Uber Rinseless wash. But after this rinseless wash, I noticed the paint failed the plastic bag test. Question 1: what should be...

I am winter prepping the cars and applied 303 Aerospace Protectant (white bottle) to my car's dash. Sprayed liquid on the microfiber towel, applied to the dash and buffed off with another microfiber towel. My wife claims that it shows dash reflection on the windshield and I should not apply that...

One of the car has alloy wheels and another has steelies. I never cared for the wheels until now. I would just clean them and that's it. But two year old steelies are showing rust spots and I absolutely don't want that. I am considering thorough cleaning of the wheels and applying a couple of...

Hello folks, I have Klasse twins applied to the car. I perform rinseless washes with Wolfgang Uber once in 2 weeks and spray on Klasse Act's Frankendetailer (1oz sealant - 3 oz rinseless wash in a gallon of water). So far, it seems to be working out. I could be wrong but the car does attract a...

I have Mother's tire brush and I use Mother's tire cleaner. The tire cleaner does an awesome job but I just dislike the brush. It doesn't suit me ergonomically. Is there any other brush that one uses and can recommend? Thanks in advance. Edit: Anyone used hard bristles attachment for a...

I am going to spend around $750 on new rubber for my 2015 Forester. I would like to take care of the side walls so that they do not gather as much salt during winter and prevent browning eventually. I understand that browning is nothing but antioxidants doing their job but it looks ugly. I can...

While doing a biweekly waterless wash, I came across this spot, just above the windshield, behind the moonroof. It is difficult to take a clear shot as it is in the middle of the car. Does it look like cracked clear coat or a rock hitting that area? It is 2015 Subaru Forester. zoomed in...

If this is not the right place, pls move to appropriate section or delete the thread. I was wondering if anyone uses APC for anything other than auto detailing. I am trying to see if I can consolidate cleaners at home. We have a carpet cleaner spray (Folex), carpet cleaner that goes into carpet...

I am trying to apply Nextzett Rubber Care Stick Gummi Pflege to the seals around the 2015 Forester sunroof. I can easily apply to the front edge of the seal but the sides and receding edge is not accessible at all (other than the fine edge on the top). Is there any way to apply to these areas...

I use Costco's microfiber towels for most of wiping business. For buffing, I have Rag Company's edgeless towels. I wash these towels using regular Costco brand's detergent. The dirt left on the towel was after the rinseless wash using Wolfgang Uber wash. I usually run the towels through water...

I am aware of the fact that WETS is favorite of the board when it comes to trim sealants, but I still searched a bit on the board. I came across this post (https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101-a/111726-plastic-trim-i-need-help.html#post1512872 and a 4 month follow-up in the...

I detailed one of my vehicles with Klasse AIO and Klasse Sealant. I will be detailing another one in next couple of days. I will be performing a rinseless wash on both the vehicles using Wolfgang Uber Rinseless wash every weekend and going to apply KlasseAct's Frankendetailer (1oz of Rinseless...

I am doing my annual detailing of my cars. Since I don't have running water or electricity in the parking lot, I got it thoroughly cleaned (or so I thought) at coin-op car wash. It is 20 min drive back from the carwash. I did chemical and mechanical decon using Iron X and Nanoskin fine sponge...

This question is more about the fundamentals of application. I was under the impression that most quick detailers are pretty much same with little bit of here and there. But after I read Mike's Spray detailers article (Tips & Techniques for using a Spray Detailer to Remove Light Dust...
