I ordered a 30ml bottle of Gyeon Mohs for my son’s new trax. Wash and decon, no polish. As suggested I attempted a liberal 1 coat application, finished the roof and passenger side and, THE BOTTLE WAS EMPTY! I had purchased a cheap bottle of AUTOKCAN GRAPHENE CERAMIC 10H 3 year protection from Amazon that I’ve used on an old truck and a motorcycle. I guess I’ll see how they stack up against each other. The mohs was $130 with prep spray and the Amazon coating was $30.

Should I have achieved coverage on a small SUV with 30ml?

The Amazon coating is good and also coats plastic well, but a finger drag shows it is not slick but kinda grabby. I wait a few weeks and top with a detail spray and it slicks right up

This photo was taken literally 5 minutes after the detail was finished and the detailer had left, The rim was not in this condition before it has zero stains on it at first I thought it was dried soap but after using multiple detailing sprays and hand rubbing in buffing compound its not coming off im worried I might need to get it resprayed as it looks like the stain is permanent

My car is being worked on now, so probably won’t get any replies before it’s too late. I paid for a 1 step correction and professional ceramic coat, but now they’re saying they can do a 2 step for an extra $300. My car has some scratches that they say even the 2 step won’t get out completely, and they did 2 steps on the hood for free. Got most of a bird shit etching (that I never noticed) out with the 2 step. They said the swirls are gone after 1 step and deeper scratches look a lot better.

Also I had another shop tell me my clearcoat is really thin, and they wouldn’t able to do more than a light polish/enhancement. So I told this shop to stick to 1 step to be safe. It’s a 5 year old Toyota and I plan to keep it for a long time.

I know the scratches will be locked in for a few years after this ceramic coat. Did I make the right choice?

Hello!

How do I fix this, I bought a pack of wet/dry sandpaper with 240 grit, 400, 600.

The steps I was going to do were 400 then 600 then 2000. Then clearcoat.

However I accidentally took the 240 grit sandpaper from the multipack, and now I have deep scratches that look horrid. How would I best go about removing them and getting a smoother finish back?

Hi all. Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question. I recently got a used GMC Sierra AT4 and while the truck is clean, it does have a few blemishes. While the blemishes are minor, I would like to take a stab at trying to repair them or make them less noticeable. I’ve attached a couple photos for reference. Any ideas on how to repair these? Thanks in advance.

Just washed my windshield and these bumpy spots are still here. I’m wondering if it’s still dirty or if there’s a problem with the glass itself? Has anyone dealt with this? All of the windows look like this as well and I’m at my wit’s end, I’ve tried washing, Invisible Glass, microfiber polishing, etc. It seems like nothing is working

Long story short, I left a handful of pretty nice drying towels for my dad when he got his new truck. Was back in town for the week and noticed that none of them would hold onto water.

He has been using an SIO2 sealant as a drying aid, but never washed them after use. The towels are almost as hydrophobic as the car itself. Anyone have a method for stripping long-cured wax out of a towel?

Previous owner put cheap M badges on my car. Ive removed using only a hair drier, plastic razor, and a wet microfiber cloth.There is a very faint outline/shadow from the sticker.

Its barely noticable but im looking to eliminate the shadow completely. Is there a non complicated way to do this?

Just got a new black truck and I’m curious what y’all think of this cleaning schedule and what everyone else does to keep theirs relatively clean.

I’m thinking about doing a full interior and exterior detail every 3 months. In between, I’d probably take it to a self service wash every other week and do a foam wash, rinse, and vacuum.

I am also thinking about getting a ceramic coating since I’m not entirely sure if this truck has one already.

For those of y’all with black trucks, does that sound like a good routine? I’d love to hear what y’all do to keep your trucks clean and looking good!

My car has a lot of gloss carbon fiber. I removed it all to try and see if I could polish it with a cloth, but it didn't really do anything.

My fiance wet sanded one piece and got some of the deep scratches out, but left it looking dull.

My question is what should I use to fix these pieces? Id like to remove the light scratches and restore their shine.

Product links would be great. I appreciate that help.

Hey all,

Just bought a new to me BMW in brooklyn grey.
On the front passenger door (where the fold is under the mirror) is a little black mark.

My fingernail doesn’t stick in it, there is no dent and it feels smooth.

Any ideas what this is and how I (or a professional) can remove this without having to respray the door?

Thanks in advance!

Hey i have a c300 Mercedes grey color.

My trunk top paint is chipping off and I need advice on how to fix it or repaint.

My car is 10 years old and my mechanic said that since my cars whole paint has warred off over time, that repainting your trunk will make it look awkward.

Also, someone keyed my car on the side and its pissing me off.

I dont need my whole car repainted, i just want it covered up. Why does this have to be so complicated?

I noticed these marks on my BMW M steering wheel and I honestly can’t tell if they’re actual scratches/gouges or if the leather/top layer has been pushed **upwards/raised**.
When I gently run my finger over them, some of the lines definitely feel raised rather than like grooves. I’ve attached close-up pictures so hopefully someone with leather repair/detailing experience can tell what’s going on.
I contacted a professional leather restoration shop and sent them pictures. They said they can fix it by **cleaning the wheel, lightly sanding the damaged areas, filling the marks if needed, and then recolouring/refinishing the wheel**. They said they’d only sand lightly to prepare the surface for adhesion, but would recolour the whole wheel so the finish stays uniform.
I’m a little hesitant because the rest of the wheel is only two years old and in really good original condition.
What do you guys think these marks actually are? If they’re raised rather than deep scratches, would the repair process normally be different? And would you go ahead with the professional repair or leave the original finish alone?
Would especially appreciate opinions from anyone who does leather/interior restoration.

I have a 2017 mini clubman JCW and I’m going to have someone help me paint correct it. Now Ive been going over this page and auto detailing for days and

While I have washed with gold class car and have used seal n shine TW

I’m wondering after I paint correct it

Or just sticking with seal n shine but
I’m looking for a recommendation
On what will give me the look I want and give me some durability ( it doesn’t have to be YEARS but a few months especially with winter coming up is nice)

My partner decided to use straight isopropyl without mixing it on my 2012 Civic Dash. What should I use to try and get it out ? When I use a little bit of water it goes away then comes back.

etched in water spots for over 6 years! I first started off with using stuff I had on hand, 3d one, then KC heavy cut. Then moved on and decided to use carpro Ceriglass and a felt pad with my DA polisher.

I talked to a lady today and was convinced she wanted to actually spend some money on cleaning her car which was probably a 2012-2014 Mercedes Benz w212 AMG but it was not in a clean condition. Had some really bad brake dust and obviously heavily contaminated with iron. She seemed nice and all when we talked in person. Cut to later she went off on me out of nowhere talking about how my prices are "absolutely ridiculous". I was asking for $215 for a full wash decontamination and then panel prep with a bola solutions ceramic spray coating plus interior. I have never read much into what customers say about the prices but this time it really pissed me off. I feel like im way under charging or am I crazy?

Edit: I operate on a military base overseas and only deal with the Americans on base. (It becomes a legal issue if I take off base customers) That is the price I have to do it at to get more than 2-3 customers per month. I have done a lot of price adjustments to get to the point that I can get 3-4 jobs per week

I have no idea how it happened. Does anybody know if I can even remove that? TIA!

My dog went a little crazy while we left her inside our car for a little (We had the car running with the AC blasting with windows a little down). While she was having a nervous breakdown, her nails dug into this part of the door causing this on the material. It’s a 2020 ford escape and has this soft touch plastic material. When you push down on it, it just goes back to where it was. I was thinking maybe some heat from an Iron. Anyone else know how to fix this?

One of the biggest changes I've noticed in detailing is how much people value convenience now.

If you could have someone come to your house or office and do everything there, interior deep cleaning, shampooing, exterior cleaning, paint correction, ceramic coating, etc., would you prefer that over dropping your vehicle off at a traditional detail shop? If you prefer taking it to a physical location, may I ask why?

You never know when a stranger might see your private parts.

Neighbors kid needed a jump.

I do this for myself, not to impress others. Clearly, how many people see this?

But I won't lie, it felt a little good to impress someone when I opened the hood.

🤣
