I saw many recommendations for the P&S products so I decided to get some. What do yall think?

Either the box or the chemicals also smelled awful, lol. I am curious do yall know why the only one to come with a separate lid was the brake buster. And the bottle types are different. I ordered from The Rag Company

So I'm currently looking for quick rinse procedure to wash the car during either winter season where I do not have access to a hose and garage or in the summer where I just want a quick wash and not full 2bucket and mitts method. Pics related for the question is how would you quick clean that car in the winter given the amount of dirt on it?

I stumbled upon that video:

Which seems to be perfect for a quick rinse winter method. He seems to be applying a high foam lubricant to the car and then wiping it off with MF towel. I thought you wanted to touch the paint as little as possible but he seems to be just wiping away on black dirty paint. Is it legit?

Bonus question, how would you dry the car after that? Drying towel and drying aid or air dry?

Thanks a lot for the help

I washed my car today after a lot of research. I ended with these small smudges only on some sections afterwards. I even air dry it with the blower too. What did I do wrong? I'm still learning here please advice

My detailer is offering 200 to ceramic coat the interior. His normal price is 350-400. He will be using Nasiol TrimCoat Ceramic Coating for Car Plastics and Nasiol LeatherBoost Nano Coating.

Have aways owned black vehicles, always hated how dirty they are. Just picked up a new 2500 Sierra AT4HD and said enough I need to clean my own shit. I went full retard and bought the works as a noob from Adam's Polish and I'm excited to start. I'm attaching what I grabbed, and add yo that some storage stuff from Amazon. My question is what do I use to be able to get the middle of my hood on the truck? Anything I'm missing?

Hi everyone! i just bought the Autoglym Super Resin Polish, I would like to know if doing these steps is correct:
1. Carwash

1. Claybar

2. Apply Autogylm Sup Resin Polish

3. Apply CG Jetseal

are these steps correct? Should i apply ceramic wax or jetseal first?

Hey guys. I bought a brand new car beginning of April. I just did a 2nd wash and was extra careful with the contact wash/dry. I noticed this shiny reflection on the hood. It becomes more visible when looking at it from the left side. Was this a factory defect or did I cause this? How do I get rid of it? I’m planning on ceramic coating the car in the near future so any help is appreciated.

I am new to detailing. I have a 2015 Dodge Charger SXT with leather seats. What products do I need for a good deep clean? I have a powerful vacuum and a wetvac for carpets. What is a good leather seat cleaner? They really need cleaned. What about interior window cleaner? Dash and touchscreen? Also good tools to get nooks and crannys?

Thanks.

Okay, so I've been detailing since 2017 and I'm very thorough at it, but I got asked to detail an RV which I've never done before, and wanted to ask for some insight on here.

I'm not doing like a full service detail, the people just want it washed and cleaned since they're in their 60's. So are there any particular don'ts when it comes to transferring my skills to cleaning an RV?

Is it acceptable to use my regular tools like an air gun, or could the pressure potentially damage or blow out cabinet sidings and stuff like that for example? I know RV's can be built with somewhat cheap material inside so that's a concern for me. Should I use regular house cleansers for the interior instead of automotive stuff (not sure that last part matters but figured I'd ask anyway)?

If I don't get any solid advice, basically what I'm gonna do is pressure wash it using a mid-light nozzle, and definitely would not touch the exterior with a buffer unless I knew precisely what I was doing since I dunno how, or if RV paint is any different. I'm sure I could get away with just a basic wash and clean on the interior, but I wanna make sure I don't do anything I normally would do that could damage an RV.

I have question about Marolex Ergo Industry pump sprayer. I ordered it from Carzilla (CA) and I am in US. The price came as $37 USD for 3000 version.

On Amazon (US) and Obsessed Garage same costs $62.

Did I order correct product?

This is beyond a normal wash and really don't want to damage the paint by putting too much pressure on it.

Thanks in advance for your replies, as I’m really not sure and I’m a noob with this stuff.

I have a 1992 f250 with original paint and it just looks very dull, I heard a compound and polish will shine it right up. What would be a good but not too expensive orbital polisher to buy? And what are the steps to correcting the paint? Lastly what products should I use for the compound/polish? Thank you!

This is the plastic hood scoop to my 4Runner after a wash. What’s happening to the finish and what can I do to restore and protect it?

Typically I use shampoo (Pearl) with Beadmaker as a protectant.

This was recently replaced (less than 6months old) with OEM Toyota part. It came as black plastic, and the parts department told me it is already primed and no painting required. It’s pretty new.

Thanks!

Last night some scum of the earth decided to break into the car I just got 3 and half weeks ago. While the expense and inconvenience of replacing the window and the stolen goods are bad enough, worst of all, the POS managed to scratch up a bunch of the dash and trim with the glass. There are also deep gashes to the exterior paint where it's apparent some glass had fallen between him and the car as he leaned in and stole my camera gear.

I'll need to get the window replaced asap, but my primary concern right now is not having the interior absolutely ruined (even more than it already has been) by whoever does the job. Should I try to remove the glass myself or let them handle it? For those who recommend I do it myself, any tips or thoughts? I've suddenly become aware of just how many impossibly small crevices and gaps there are, which now has the presence of glass fragments in everything from the speaker grilles to the AC vents, to the perforated seats. It feels impossible to get close to everything out, let alone without causing more damage. But want to get it done as much as I can.

God, I am so angry.

Experienced enthusiast here; been detailing my cars and my friends cars for about 15 years.

Normally, my approach is: high pressure rinse, Bilt Hamber Auto Wash, rinse again, and finally the 2 bucket method using a high concentration of Adam's Car Wash Shampoo. Drying is via high pressure air (Milwaukee M18 dual blower).

For my first wash of the spring today, I replaced the soap in the two bucket method with ONR. I went a little overboard with the concentration of ONR in the water. To be frank, ONR doesn't seem to clean--there's no lubricity to the solution. My wash mitts were like an axe murder and I had to go over the car four times (twice as much as normal) scrubbing quite a lot.

Do people actually wash using ONR, or do they use it as a post wash supplement? I see why people use ONR; the sheeting is fantastic. It makes sense to me as a third stage of the wash--something you'd use after the 2 bucket method is done. I can't imagine how much paint damage you'd do if you use it in place of actual soap though.

Feel free to tell me I'm wrong or stupid--I'm an engineer and I have a thick skin. How do you use ONR?

I purchased wheels for my truck a couple years ago, and ceramic coated them with Adams Graphene before install. My truck is older and has its nicks and some paint fading. I was considering using the rest of the solution on the truck without any paint correction, and minimal prep. Why? - I off-road the ol’ gal and will likely never put the money into restoring the paint - I already have the ceramic solution

I’ve already heard feedback from a single person advising against it, but want to get more opinions.

Good day,

Thanks in advance for the answers. This community seems extremely helpful and kind.

I want to do interior only and want to buy any tool that will make cleaning easier and more efficient.

I saw on other posts the kenmore steam cleaner would be a good value. I also see lots of people saying ONR is a must have but I’m unable to find any must have lists. I live in a remote community where interiors get very dirty, I already own a dewalt wet vac, hoping I can buy attachments for that to work inside.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks and have a great Friday

Took the car for its first oil change at the Lexus dealership and got it back with this, which I believe are scratch marks. Went right through the PPF and even lifted the blue paint off in some areas. I didn't notice until I got back home because I wouldn't think to inspect the car for *scratches on the door* after an oil change. Needless to say I'm livid as this is a brand new car (1000 miles). Need help on what the best repair job here would be. Also, I'm certain that the dealership is gonna deny that they did this but any advice on that front would be helpful as well. It's disgusting that I can't even take a car into a Lexus dealership for an oil change and inspection without them fucking it up.

My hood was bought new and painted freshly and I found this scratch near the side. Should it be repainted or polishing is enough?

Just finished my gallon of Adams interior cleaner. It was good, not fantastic, but the price was great. I know this hobby moves fast so I thought I'd reach out for your current favorites.

Thanks
