detailing

I just went to get a service done for undercoating for my truck. Tell me if I'm wrong, but this looks like a pretty half assed job right?? I paid $690 for this by the way. I got it professionally done so that I could avoid doing it myself and making it look like this, not sure what went wrong...

Well anyone that follows any of my other crap knows I ended up selling my Audi RS5 and traded in my FX2 and picked up this 2017 GMC Denali Ultimate. Anyone wondering what an ultimate is it is GMC's way of saying Denali with every option offered. Picked it up from good ole Jimmy Skrait Pipes as...

Long time lurker... Have read tons of forum posts over the years for help on 2 of my trucks. Love the knowledge. Finally registered to post for advice. Recently moved from Florida to Richmond Virginia region, now have to find where to take my vehicles for work, alignments...

So I've pretty much been stuck with adams and SCG so I want to try something new. With so much on the market the info is just overwhelming. So like the title says what pads and polishes are you using? Tool is a flex 3401. I've read that the LC hybrid pads are the best combination with the flex.

I picked up my first set of Weld Cheyennes a few weeks back that were in decent shape but needed some work. I proceeded to wet sand 400,800,1000,2000 before finishing off with my Makita 9207spc with a wool pad and mothers aluminum polish. These wheels are never going to be perfect and I was...

What's going on everyone. Been hearing about this forum on a few others so I thought I'd check it out. My name is Jake, I'm from Cecil County, MD and I have 2 chevys. The blue truck is the daily. Its leveled on 33's, has a Magnaflow muffler dumped under the bed, and Airaid MIT, and Blackbear...

Long story short, bought some Americana paste wax once upon a time and was never truly happy with it due to not being able to open the container and the actual wax breaking up and cracking constantly even though it was always stored in a temperature controlled environment (disclaimer, this is...

i had Saturday mostly to myself...and even though it was hot, it was overcast. 2 bucket wash with Adam's shampoo. after the rinse, i misted the truck with detail stray and dry. when i was drying, i noticed i had some spots on the bed fender that look like splatter from wheel detailing. add...

2006 Sierra. I did this customers Yukon last year as well. This time he wanted his Sierra buttered up. Its his daily driver so as you could imagine there was quite a bit of contaminants and some refinery fall out from around the area. This truck already came in great shape so there wasnt a huge...

Morn, did a 2015 ZL-1 a couple weeks back. Spent 20 hours on the polish side. It looked about 85% better when it was finished. I have never seen a dealership essentially murder a factory paint job like that ever in my life. There are some deep scratches and other things (dealer installed)...

Plush to waffle weave, glass towels to wash pads, and even more recently polishing pads, microfiber has forever changed how shine freaks keep their cars looking great and how detailers correct, protect, and care for customers cars. The argument could be made that no single advancement in the...

Hey guys trying to make some room on my shelves by selling some products I just don't use anymore. All these last step products and polishes work great and the waxes are top notch I just don't have use for them anymore since I have coated my truck. Few items from Shine Supply that I had on my...

I've run into another fucking wheel dilemma and I need some input. All of my Gear 737v's are peeling VERY badly including the one I just had replaced. I've finally accepted the fact you just cant run any type of mirrored finish wheel year around in the northeast. I'm going to warranty the Gears...

Hiya, Probably was a member here in a different capacity years ago. Well, I am here now as a normal jerk just like the rest of you! Sam Carroll mentioned this was a place to hang and full of good people, save for that DemoN...I hear he drinks pee, so I decided to come on over. I drive...

These guys are complete scum! I have brand new unused product I want to take back. I even offered to drive the stuff up there. Their supposed return policy is 2-3 weeks maybe I'll get my money back! But what's better is the VP will hang up on you, and Carrie will personally insult you. I...

For some guys this isn't new info, but I do see a lot of rookie polishers and casual detailers asking about this online so figured I'd put the info together. Lots of other articles like this one are available for free on our forums: Surf City Garage Library - Surf City Garage Forums "Does...
