DFB’s Detailing Awards 2024
Well, if a certain Youtuber can give out yearly detailing awards, then why can’t I? The difference here though is I don’t have a conflict of interest, sell my own products, or get sent a bag of money to say nice things about average products and brands. So, the...
Interior Cleaners & Detailers

If you like cars, and like Ford's, chances are you like V8's too, this video is a must watch.

P&S Absolute Rinse-less Wash Review
Rinse-less washing was never on my radar until I became a member here. I kept seeing others using this wash method, so I began wondering if rinse-less would be a viable option to have in my tool chest. To me, a car was not CLEAN without the use of soap and...
Meguiar’s were, and still are, slow to the “ceramic” market. In fact, the brand took until 2018/2019 to introduce Si02 infused “ceramic” products to the range in the form of Hybrid Ceramic Wax (spray and liquid forms) and Hybrid Ceramic Detailer. More recently, Ultra Ceramic Coating joined the...
Beginner’s Buying Guide
