Would anyone be interested in this Adam's Detailig stool? Great condition, one sticker on it

No idea what to sell it for or shipping though lol

sweet, thanks!

Yeah, got stuck i traffic for like 3 hours. Was frustrated and weak lol

The stripping bordering my windows is pretty dirty. Probably from when I epic failed and smoked in the car

Wondering best way to clean that?

It can't just be me so hoping you have some good suggestions.

Is there a way you guys do a quick rinse down safely for paint? I mean when you literally have like no time but want all the dust/pollen/grime just knocked off you car..

Sweet! Enjoy man!!

Very grateful! Can't tell you how much I appreciate it, Ryan. Thanks again.

Did you get the bag?

Ok all, just ordered bunch of fun! Be prepared for questions when I get my polisher etc

Nice! I have never gotten any stickers in an order, looks like time to buy more stuff! 

Hmm, how many would I get for a cyclo kit... 

I'm still waiting in a call from Dylan about this

@zo6 what would you like to know?

Woot, Squirrell you have a new bag heading your way tomorrow! 

Thanks

Anyone interested in a detailing bag? I have the big one, never use it  

Ok, so think I am going to take the plunge and attempt this all myself, ha. You guys will be around though I'm sure

So I am thinking the ADAM'S TWO STEP CYCLO MACHINE POLISHING KIT, Liquid Paint Sealant and 4" gray machine pads. This is my daily driver. Now the sealant would go on right after paint correction and polishing right, strong base layer. If I do it all correctly, will that still shine nicely, or  be dullish?

Would love input for enhancing, brilliant glaze or buttery wax? Something that can be applied by cyclo would be ideal. And those would go on after sealant right?

I suppose some parts of this would have to be hand, nooks and crannies yeah...?

My car color is the pic in my sig FYI, I have read that different products are better for different colors.

Thanks all

Hmm. This is intriguing me more and more. I thought (like a noob) that once clayed the car was "naked and afraid" and it became an oh-crap-hurry-up type job to finish it.

So it won't ruin paint if it is clayed and unprotected?

I would leave it in garage overnight.

I'd have to read and watch more on the process yeah. Claying is all by hand (arm strength?) and then correction after that is machine over entire car yeah. Then sealing and glaze (or something shiny) after correction can be done with machine or hand only?

Time between steps? Does it have to be instant? Or can clay one day, paint correct next day, seal and glaze day after?

Also of note, to do wheels, wash and dress trim/glass takes me a solid 4 hours lol.

Finally got to wash yesterday, appears to have come out with a standard wash, though I swear under certain light angle in garage this morning I could still see outlines of some spots..

Car has never been clayed, it is 2013, I was planning on having claying and two-step paint correction done by a local detailer and then debating on having a nano coating put on. Though after washing and seeing various small chip marks from 2 years of daily driving im thinking I should have done it right away ha. 

So now am considering attempting clay, correction and sealing by myself and buying the cyclo polisher...though not sure if my body could handle all that

So I sprayed some diluted rinseless onto a waterless towel and on the truck deck did a full single wipe from side to side. It looks like it removed the stand out part of it, but if I look at an angle can still see the spot areas there.

Are you supposed to 'scrub' with the waterless?

I'll give that a shot, thanks guys.

So it lightly rained the other day, then the sun and wind came out and my car got coated with polllen. Today it was kind of drizzling a bit and I didn't have any time to wash because it is a work day so I figured I would hose it off to at least get the crap off the paint. 

Apparently my DI resin is depleted though, gah, and now my car is spotted bad. Will this damage my paint? Will hosing it off with clean DI water work? Do I need to full on wash now?

Not sure if this post is the same as the one pictured or if the links still work (can't view them on this computer), but here is a thread to check out

thank you!

Anyhow, I happen to stumble on this DO NOT WASH THIS CAR PSA online. I ended up printing a few up and laminating them at the office. I now have a few in my glove box so going foward I should not have this problem every again.

Anyone else have a car wash nightmare at the dealership?

Where can I find one of these hangers to print and make?

Man that would be awesome...but a 3,000 mile drive for me from Bay Area CA lol

Someone do one of these out here!

Wow, that is a gorgeous car! 

UPDATE!

So I read something cool in another thread and thought I would try adding something to this, here is the new log book function tease

Would also love some help with a domain name suggestions Was about to register something like, 

detailingaid.com

and figured I would see if you all had any cool thoughts. Sooner I register something and throw it online, the sooner you can play with it!
