    Regarding product shelf life

    This tuesday I'll be trading in my 2013 Focus ST with close to 100,000 on the odo for a brand new Toyota Tacoma TRD. Detailing was a hobby of mine that fell by the wayside because of life. I'm wondering if some of my products are still useable. I could find much info on manufacturers websites...

    Opinions On Chemical Guys?

    Their a real polarising company for me - some of the best and worst stuff I've used. Citrus Wash n Glass is hands down my favorite soap. Hybrid V7 is a great detailer with spray sealant in it. Diablo Wheel cleaner is good but I feel their equally good cleaners for less money out their. M-Seal I...

    Do I need leather conditioner or coating protector?

    Ok so I'm not the only person with the conception that most leather in cars doesn't need conditioning, but requires cleaning and care of the coating. I've tried the CarPro Leather Coating (not the leather/fabric coating combo). I've also used a Gteqniq L1 Leather Guard. The former was...

    Do I need leather conditioner or coating protector?

    Looks like we've got the same car. I've got the full leather seats, do you have those or the partial with fabric inserts? How are yours holding up? I've got about 35,000 on the odometer. My only issue with my seats is that the left leg bolster seems to be wearing quicker than my right left...

    Do I need leather conditioner or coating protector?

    I'd say the conditioner gets essential oils into the leather to keep it from cracking. Protector would be something for the coating to stop UV rays, limit friction. I thought they were different and that coated seats didn't need conditioning, but i see alot of people using conditioner still.

    Do I need leather conditioner or coating protector?

    So as long as I'm using a protector like this I don't need to condition? I'm slightly confused - why have 2 different types of products that do the same thing?

    Do I need leather conditioner or coating protector?

    I've tried researching this but I can't seem to find definitive answers. Do you need to condition coated leather seats? I've got Recaros in my Focus ST which are definitely coated. Its my understanding that conditioner doesn't penetrate that coating and really just sits ontop of the coating. I...

    Wax and seal BEFORE applying clear bra?

    I'm not doing the installation. I'm a weekend warrior level detailer, so I'll leave that to the pros.

    Wax and seal BEFORE applying clear bra?

    Whats the best way to maintain PPF? Most waxes contain some form of an chemical abrasive, do they not? Wouldn't that hurt the film?

    Wax and seal BEFORE applying clear bra?

    Hello, First time poster, been lurking for awhile. I'm looking to trade in my Ford Focus for a 2015 Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec in Empire State Grey. I'd like to get an application of paint protection film done on it shortly after I take delivery of it. Is it wise to wax/seal the paint before the...
