Can anybody recommend a good detailer that they use? I need to give my car the whole treatment... Interior, and exterior buffing polishing and waxing. I have the car wash around me that serves as a "detail center" but I'd like to know who everybody else uses. Thanks. |

Youreself u lazy bastard............ Seriously though, Nobody will care enough about youre car to do a great job. Paint can get burnt, spots will be overlooked, its not there car, so whatever. My recommendation- Go buy a mothers clay bar kit, matching polish and a good heavy paste carnuba wax, And go to town. It will turnout like glass, If you do it right and take all 3 steps. Use either maguiers or mothers., Both make claybars that come with the detailing spray. Just be sure to follow the instructions and do all the steps. Dont forget the glass and taillights too, they look great after all that. Also be armed with ALOT of microfiber clothes for all the buffing. |

about the clay bar thing but as for some one else not caring when i did it i did it better than my own car with alot more care because i didnt want to hurt it or burn the paint when i was detailin in my sisters drivway i was doin everything from icecream trucks to street pharmacy delivery cars to show cars so as far as people not caring cause its not there car it all depends on who the detailer is and how they feel about cars to me i did it because i got to drive nice cars and keep them lookin good the extra cash was a plus but al use the clay bar it will make the cars finish like glass as dave said and then polish and seal it in with a good wax you wont even be able to rest a bag of groceries on your car wihout them falling off (litteraly) |

True, the outside, I know how to do. The inside though, I need somebody that can get some stains out of my carpet. |

All you need is a good stif brush for the carpets some carpet shampoo (see if you can find blue coral from autozone) spray that stuff in and et it sit for a few minutes then scrub bring all the dirt that you can to one spot and then take a shop vac and suck up the shampoo and dirt try to make lines like a shampooer would it works realy good that way but before you start it vacume what you can with the shop vac first it should take you all of an hour to get it lookin good |
