Bananas. Just the smell makes me gag.

A nanoskin will work just as well as the clay bar plus it has the added advantage of being able to be dropped on the ground without having to throw it away. From what I've gathered about the vehicle this step is gonna be the most time consuming up front. The larger surface area of the nanoskin...

If you can swing it invest in some type of Iron X product to remove any iron particles bonded to the paint. Also as far as polish and waxing goes I would look into an all in one cleaner wax. That will give a little polish action as well as a layer of wax to make cleaning the SUV easier next...

Pretty sure that's what that Pro Clean at Tyson's Corner dude with those awful how to videos uses for compounding.

If you haven't viewed and liked the four Ford Edge albums at Mike Vest Detailing on Facebook do so now. This was a detail I did for my grandmother-in-law as a birthday gift a little while back and am just getting to posting the write-up. This will detail the process I used to make this car...

I think I may have an answer for this. This is my theory so if it's completely wrong feel free to say so. The average clear coat is filled with swirls, scratches, above surface bonded contaminants and is a jagged layer of paint. And even if you remove every scratch, swirl, and contaminant and...
