    Another mistake by the rescuer

    I wouldn't take that risk unless absolutely necessary, given that hot water will do the trick in a matter of minutes. But in the event you don't have access to hot water, and must try the microwave, I'd suggest warming it slowly under low power. We all make mistakes. It's how we learn from...

    What is your "GO TO" interior protectant

    Re: What is your "GO TO" interior protectant I believe I dried it completely, but your testimony and that of others has me left with room for doubt. I sprayed on the rag (very lightly), then wiped until dry. I don't recall at the moment whether or not I used a second rag to buff or...

    Foam Cannon Reservoir depletes too fast!

    If you only foam and rinse (and skip the mitt-washing), I believe you run the risk of swirling and scratching the surface upon towel-drying. If you must foam and rinse (and don't have time to actually wash with a mitt), you may want to consider simply blow-drying (no towel), then cleaning your...

    What is your "GO TO" interior protectant

    What is your "GO TO" interior protectant For a while, I wouldn't apply any sort of protectant. I'd just stick with cleaning with distilled water wherever possible, and something heavier where necessary. But I'd always finish with plain distilled water. Recently, I tried 303...

    Cleaning between Full Washes

    I guess my concern with this method would be towel-drying with surface contaminants present, due to the fact that some may have been left behind from the no-touch wash stage. Any reflections on that would be appreciated.

    Cleaning between Full Washes

    Puckman--when you go the route of foam gun/rinse, do you just let the vehicle air-dry then? Even windows? If so, do you struggle with water spotting? paul_g--how long does your prescribed process usually take you on that Mustang?

    Headliner Stain Removal

    I'm an amateur/weekend warrior and don't have first-hand experience with using it on a headliner, but perhaps you may wish to research 303 Multi-Surface Cleaner (formerly called 303 Fabric/Vinyl Cleaner). Hopefully more-experienced detailers will offer more tested advice though.

    Very nicely done. Thank you. Would you be kind enough to follow up a week, two weeks, three weeks down the road with a few more pics? This is helpful.

    2004 Lexus 470 BEASTLY REVIVAL - Pic Heavy

    This nearly brought a tear to my eye on several fronts: 1) The before pics 2) The after pics--what an impressive transformation. 3) The price charged. 4) The fact that you still made such a relatively significant donation to charity, even though you earned less than half of minimum wage, BEFORE...

    Scratch in plastic

    It's possible that lightly wiping the scratches with acetone will "melt" them down too, but you really would want to start very lightly and test a small part of one scratch. Maybe just dip the corner of a folded shop towel in acetone and wipe it back and forth across the scratch.

    Shoot them an email. My experience has been that they're generally pretty good about things like that.

    Best tire dressing applicator

    I also use the Carrand brush, and love it. I have more than one in use. I don't clean them between uses. Each brush is dedicated to only one specific tire dressing product. I label the handle with which particular product that brush is paired with so as to not cross-contaminate. I simply store...
