I want to remove this name on my car but I'm not sure how to go about it. It's painted on there and I don't want to ruin the lines underneath it.

HDX 56oz Handheld Multi-Purpose Pump Sprayer is the one I'm wanting to use. I've heard good things about Turtle Wax but cannot see a dilutable product.

Won’t come up with p&s xpress.

Hello guys, does anyone have a recommendation for a product to apply to stainless muffler tips or possibly the whole muffler? This particular application is on a brand new exhaust to retain the polished appearance. I’ve seen mixed responses about ceramic coatings, however many are advertised for high temperatures. Thanks guys

Hi, I ordered a ColourLock leather restoration kit 7 weeks ago, and they've still not shipped my order. Apparently they've been bought out by another company and they're having massive delays. What other competitors are there for this product? I ordered ColourLock because they had the exact paint code for the beige leather on my 2003 BMW Z4 E85. I'm in Germany by the way.

So, I just recently purchased a Dealer Owned Certified vehicle, it was a loaner. It does have few minor scratches that currently doesn't bother me. Of course I'm still going to be taking care of the paint with careful washing and using a spray sealant on a routine basis (I know they don't last as long as a true ceramic). I know at some point I'm going to have to take care of these scratches, but if this is my daily driver, and I know life is going to happen, how obsessed can I be about keeping my paint perfect before I worry about Clear coat integrity. I like to keep my cars for a long time (8 to 10 years)

Hey, I live in Montana and most weeks are way below freezing. The other day I tried detailing outside and my chemicals froze. I am starting to convert my garage to a heat controlled shop. This is obviously less convenient for my customers and I am trying to make it more convenient.

Those of you who are professional detailers do you offer pickup and dropoff or anything of that sorts? If so what type of protection or insurance do you need?

Or do you detail in their garage and bring a heater. Im a little more hesitant to be in someone's garage with closed doors being as I am in High School but Im just not sure.

So I bought an at blue 675 pressure washer. It’s brand new my issue is, HOW do I pull water from my water tank into the pressure washer so I can use it for mobile detailing.

It works fine on a garden house to house connection. So do I need an extra pump, if so what kind, or should gravity fed be sufficient, if so how high up should it be from the pressure washer?

I bought this pressure washer cause it came with an integrated pump. pls help thank u

Been looking around to find a Professional shop to do an interior clean with smoke odor removal for a recently purchased used vehicle with minor smoke odor (Don’t trust myself enough to do it myself). They all say they run for it 8 hours, which I‘m guessing is because it’s during closing hours when no one is around.

Based on what I’ve been seeing here, anything beyond an hour just increases the risk of oxidation/over kill for most cases. Are the machines these shops use any different/less concerning than what people typically buy off of Amazon for $50 bucks?

In terms of odor, I’d say mine is 1/10. Original owner only had for 9 months with 2k miles on it. Dealership I bought it from managed to mask what smell it had before I realized it.

Hi everyone! I just got a new silver car and I'm planning its first detail. Here's my process:

1. Two-bucket wash method
2. Iron remover treatment
3. Clay bar decontamination
4. IPA wipedown
5. Turtle Wax ICE Seal N Shine Hybrid Sealant

I have experience with traditional paste waxes using applicator pads on my previous cars, but this will be my first time using a spray sealant. I've read about potential streaking issues with Ice Seal N Shine, and while I know to use only one spray per panel, I'm still nervous about the application.

I'd love to hear from experienced detailers - should I stick with this product, or would you recommend something more beginner-friendly? My biggest concern is causing irreversible damage to my new car's paint. I'm particularly anxious about the clay bar process and sealant application.

I used to smoke, I smoked in all my cars and never had this problem on any of them except one. I noticed at the beginning of the winter that the windows are super foggy on the inside and it makes it really hard to see at night. I've cleaned the windshield and windows with windex many times, nothing seems to help it. I'm starting to get sick of this, I just got a carwash and my windshield still looks dirty from the fog inside. The car looks really nice otherwise, I just wish I could see while driving it

The car is ceramic coated im using a polish branded by my detail shop that did coating.. I am happy w the ease it is to apply and remove. It seems to wear off even w sun exposure. Def after 2 washes.

Hello! I’m trying to find a long lasting exterior plastic and rubber trim protectant that’s not ceramic. I didn’t have a good experiences with it and would rather avoid it. Is there anything available that will give my car UV protection to my exterior rubber and plastic trim for months?

All of the conditioners that I have tried on the dash of my Lexus 2022 RX 350 J leave streaks. What do you guys recommend for taking care of the dash? Thank you!!!!

I recently bought Chemical Guys speed mammoth drying towel. I washed it before I used it and its sheds a ton.

Is there anything I can do to make it not do that. The car I'm drying has only 800 miles so it's not like the paint is all messed up.

I'm kind of disappointed, because I've seen a lot of good reviews on it.

Just washed my new coating towels before doing a coating on the daily driver and 2 of them got left in the dryer, so the screw up is on me. Roommate didn’t check the dryer and dried them on regular with their clothes and a dryer sheet. Do I just write these off as a loss because of the dryer heat? Hate to flush the money down the drain because I didn’t double check properly

First time doing a coating and would prefer not to screw it up.

I'm not really sure where I should be posting this but this sub seems to be the best.

I have a car with full body PPF. I'm very interested in doing a skid pan day in my car but they use diesel mixed with the water. Will the diesel be a problem for the PPF or is it fine? Thanks in advance.

While getting my car serviced, I checked out the Corvette section. Those used 2021-2024 models looked incredible. What do dealerships use? It’s probably not ceramic since nothing I’ve tried gives that deep, lollypop gloss. Like the colors still popped despite dust and rain marks from those previous days. Sadly I asked a salesperson nearby, but he had no idea.
