Anybody here who stick to a consistent detailing schedule (etc once every 2 months clean leather seats, once every 4 months wax etc)? Or mostly just do when got time and/or dirty already then clean? Me trying to be organised; but sometimes tired, lazy, no time to follow schedule.

a construction yard somehow sprayed construction foam onto my car that hardened after a while. however, it could be removed after spraying with water for a long period of time. however, i'm not sure what it'll do to the paintwork. so they agreed that i could send my car for polishing and cleaning on their expense. I've never done any detailing before. so i'm here seeking for the "best deal under $200". =) btw, my car is a small honda city. thanks!

Any tried and tested detailing \ grooming package to recommend ? i understand there are two types of detailing, one is the so call 'maintenance' type which basically clay and wax car for a shine which doesnt last longer than a few weeks. ANother type is the much more lasting type which applies a layer of silicon and can last up to six months. Any one tried nushine before got any feedback ? Any others to receommenda ? Thanks ...

Hi bro recently just went to do polishing waxing and all. Used buffing machine. Did my boot all ok but when coming to buff my right rear door, the paint sort of 'melted' and left a few marks in it. Stopped polishing immediately. I cannot live with the marks and i was thinking of respraying just the door. However i did before a respray on a small area and the workshop really unable to match the new paint with my current colour. I still can see quite an obvious difference. Now i am afraid of similiar new paint mismatch happen this time. Imagine one door with obvious different tone of colour! OMG. What do you experts guys suggest me to do? Below are the pictures for clearer understanding.... Thanks!

Just two (maybe noob) questions regarding detailing: 1. How long does your 'wash cloth' (the one you use to wash & wipe) last you? Mine gets dirty after 3 or 4 washes and I feel throwing it away - any suggestions how to keep them clean? 2. After waxing, sometimes the wax gets onto the rubber trims - what's a good way to get rid of the white residue? Rgds Robert
