    Severely neglected wheels. Need help!

    So I'm putting my WRX up for sale soon and I'm getting around to taking care of some minor fixes. One will include a full detail prior to listing. That being said ever since I joined the military and started a family some of my hobbies have had to take a back seat and detailing was one of them...

    Bissell Little Green... Worth the money?

    I finally have the money to get a Bissell little green, but wanted to know if it was worth it. I've read some good reviews on here and other sites, but want to make sure it's as good as people say. Also what solution do you use with it? I understand most do a pre-treat for heavily soiled...

    BIG horsepower Evo!!!

    This was the other big horsepower car I did on my trip in GA. This car belongs to a good friend of mine and I was in town for his wedding, so this one was free (wedding gift). As a kinda payment I did get to drive it quite a bit and scare the crap out of my mom with it lol. This recieved the...

    Just got back from GA and along with a 600hp HTA 37R powered Evo and a R33 GT-R (pics of the Evo coming soon) I had the pleasure of detailing my friends 94' big turbo Supra. From the pics you can see it was covered in swirls, but I think I managed to really bring the car back. Heres the...

    When are CCS pads bad?

    I was detailing my car the other day with just a white CCS pad on my UDM with 106ff. Even with just the weight of the polisher it looked like it had stopped spinning. This is a new UDM that I just got replaced. Yet, I noticed this with my old UDM, that with the orange CCS pad I could even...

    How to remove cone marks?

    Like the title says I have a customer that competes heavily in autox and is going to have me detail his car when the season is over. He wanted me to try to remove some of them to see what could be done and I figured a clay bar would do it and it did, but to a certain extent. There was still a...

    My Evo VIII

    I forgot to post these in the other thread, but I had a chance to stop at a nice little area and take some new pics of the Evo with all the new engine mods installed. It was fully detailed about 3 months ago and I haven't done much except wash it and top it with UQD. I think about a month ago...

    UDM problem

    I was finishing up my last customers car today and the UDM seemed to start making a weird clicking noise and even at speed 6 seemed like it was going at speed 4. If I put it on speed 1 and put it against the paint (no pressure of course) it would barely move. It was also emitting a weird...

    This was my 1st black car and I think it turned out really good! This was a full correction detail and took me about 8 hours. Heres the process: - Wash with Optimum No Rise Wash - Clay with Adams clay using ONR as lube (real time saver!) - Polish with Menzerna Intensive Polish w/ orange light...

    Gunk Engine Degreaser/Detailer

    With all the talk about CD-2 coming back I went to AutoZone to try to find some, but found the product in the title. I have to say I wasn't expecting much except to degrease the engine, but it truly is a good 2 in 1 product. It successfully removed a lot of stubborn grease and dirt from the...

    Pre-rinse w/ ONR?

    Well I just washed my car with the ONR I just got. It seemed to have swirled the entire drivers side of the car (started with the passenger and it doesn't seem to have swirls, but don't have the best light on that side). Im in no way condemning ONR as my car was FILTHY due to all the salt and...

    Trading cars?

    I currently own a 2003 Lancer Evolution and absolutely love the car, but I'm thinking of trading it for a Mazdaspeed 6 (would think about a Mazdaspeed 3, but I need AWD due to the weather here in Reno). The reason is it would be a more comfortable car to daily drive and has a nicer interior. Not...

    Help with next purchase!

    Well I just got in a 250 dollar "scholarship" check from my school that I don't need, so I was going to take advantage of the 15% off deal. I was looking to spend around a 100 bucks of it. 10 bucks or so over will be fine. Heres what I was thinking: ONR (the bigger one. This is because I live...
