I am having trouble removing Cooked on Carbon from my exhaust tips. I have tried numerous cleaners polishes and brushes to no avail. I have even tried using a dremel to sand out the carbon but all it did was make the surface uneven with polishing and sanding lines. Here are some images of...

Thanks for all of the help guys. Since then I have taken care of much of the work myself by hand. But my neighbor just got a Porter Cable that he said I can use any time I want to. So now I dont have to buy a polisher. I feel fairly confident of doing correction myself, I just need to dedicate a...

I still have these defects and its driving me nuts lol. I was quoted over $300 for those two dents and poor touch up job on the hood to be sanded down. I have to take care of other things for my car first such as the suspension before I can pay that much for the dents and scratches on the hood...

Since its getting nicer out, I can finally been able to wash it by hand. I hated taking the car to the car wash but in the winter, its to cold to hand wash it and the salt from the road could have done damage if I did not take it there lol.

This is the scratch inducer I saw the guy use on that challenger.

About eight months ago a hand auto car wash was opened by a mechanics shop, and since then it was always packed. Cars remain there overnight on many occasions just to wait for a wash. They do all kinds of work including some paint corrections. They also have a list of many specials one can get...

Is that for the whole hood? Because I just want that portion of my hood sanded down and repainted.

The deductible would cost more than having my dents and hood painted combined :(

What do you guys think I can do about this Can I have just that area sanded down and repainted? Also how much do you think a job like that will cost?

Hey Guys. I thought I would make a thread on my current issues I facing with my car and any ideas or tips I could use for resolving the issues at hand This damage was caused during Hurricane Sandy. I shingle got flung onto the front hood of my car and scratched it up good. There was a really...

Hey Guys, I thought I would show you some of the detailing stuff I currently have. Its very basic but includes some brushes and such. What do you guys think? In the future I do plan on moving up to some more detailing products and expanding it even more. I am really liking the Chemical Guys...

I had the same problem. Luckily all the leak issues came around while I was still under warranty. What tends to go on these engines are the LIM and Valve cover gaskets around the 60-100k mile mark. But once that is resolves the overall engine reliability is great and with the supercharged...

Hand compound is correcting details with a swirl remover by hand. But that would be the basic package. They would have used a DA polisher for the job I was thinking about getting.

Assuming my car takes 4 hours (if its that bad which I don't think it is besides the interior, seat belts, and carpet) it will cost me at most $250 which is still cheaper than what this place was going to charge me.

lol I know with the spelling mistakes. I have already decided to stay away from that place. Now all I look for is any other input you guys are willing to give me based on my most recent decision. I hope this thread does not become inactive after my last post. Feel free to comment if as...

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the tips. I forgot to mention that the hand buff was the $150 option and I was told that the DA was going to be used for the full job for $315. I do not really plan on getting it done there as it is fairly expensive. Most likely I will take Mike's advice with the...

Hey Guys I need some input on the pricing for detailing jobs. Although I am a beginner and can do the basic detailing job such as hand wash, polish, and wax I do not have the money or time to do a full detail to make the car look awesome like cars on the forum. In the future I plan to invest in...
