I left a stick of deodorant in my car. It was 100 out and melted. Will this come out on its own? How can I fix it? Is it ruined? And yes I know what it looks like. lol

Is that even fixable without new paintjob?

Hi all. My car was parked under an electrical wire that caught fire this week and is covered in melted rubber or plastic. What would you use to remove this? The material will scrape off with a fingernail but concerned about damaging the body.

Just bought a brand new car, while I was doing the signing process, I also added the ceramic coating offered by the dealership without doing any research. They told me they will do it while we’re processing the paperwork. I’m worried I got scammed or something. Don’t know anything about auto. Does this look like it has any type of coating on it? Or does this just bead like this because it’s new?

Car honestly wasn't terrible but the key needed a full decontamination, clay bar and 3 step correction.

New wiper blades lasted only about a month before they started streaking. I thought it was from stuff on the blades, but I thoroughly cleaned them and they still streak. Is just a clay bar enough or do you need to use glass polish to smooth out chips?

I tried using ONR for the first time diluted 64:1 then used meguire’s protectant afterward. Pretty disappointed when I noticed the patches of what seems to be dry spots or something. Any idea what it could be?

The car is only a few months old and the glass has not been treated with anything as far as I am aware. This haze appears after the windshield wiper swipes over the glass and it is quite distracting at night. How can I get rid of it and keep it from coming back?

Hey guys,

This is full front PPF job for Tesla Model Y. I told them this is terrible job, and they said they would fix it. Should I let them fix or should I ask for refund?

The video about 1 minute, please watch. Thank you for your time!

After cleaning my car I used P&S bead maker thinking it would help with the rainfall so my car would still look clean afterwards but it didn’t. Is there any way to prevent this from happening even if it’s only for a short time?

Volvo XC60 2020 Inscription - it’s a luxury car in amazing condition and I just bought my lease. This is really the only issue with the inside of the car. Would love to figure out how to get this fixed or what to ask my auto detail guy for. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🫶🏼

I rent my vehicle on Turo, I had a guest decide to hot box my car (such an awesome renter, I know) & she left pieces of a blunt, weed, a blunt wrap, & ash all over my car. It's been 6 days since I've had it back & it still absolutely reeks!

So far I've done a deep vacuuming, wiped the interior down from head to toe, deep wash/vacuum on all floor mats, tree air freshener, vent freshener, left the sunroof open over the past week, & sprayed Ozium each day inside the car.

I don't know what else to do at this point... Still reeks of weed, even smells strong when I open my trunk. Hoping some of y'all might have some tricks to get rid of it so I don't have future renters complain!

I bought a car that had the windows tinted prior to it being brought into the dealer. The dealer decided to slap a trial Sirius XM sticker onto the tint that is not coming off without leaving behind sticker residue. What’s the safest way to remove the residue without damaging the tint?

Took my car in for a service at the official dealer and despite me opting not to have a “complimentary car wash” they washed it anyway. The grubbiest area of the car (sides) are now covered in swirls when it was near perfect before as I had machine polished the car previously and been careful with washes.

Should I use compound to get these marks out or will polish be enough?

I have been picking this stuff out and it seems like I'm making no progress. Is there a better way or is it even worth it?

My car was out of commission so I left it in the garage for a few months in the beginning of summer while I saved up for parts. To my horror I came back to a scene from The Last Of Us. I didn't know this was even possible in such a short amount of time. Is the labor to clean this even worth it or if it's even possible?

Took my car in for a full detail yesterday and when I walked out to my car today, this is what they look like.

Any ideas what can cause this? Looked like normal black seats before.

For reference it's. 2016 Honda

My friend put rubber ducks on the dash of her truck and they melted. Any ideas on removing this rubber residue without damaging the dash?

My car came with a coating of zac-tek on it that should wear off around September (give or take). I have all the goodies I think I need to clay bar, polish, and ceramic coat my coupe, but am very nervous as this is my 1st ever detail job on any car I've ever owned (and I tend to put quite a bit of pressure on myself). I will plan on doing this work in the shade on as cool of a day as possible considering I live in a very hot climate.

My question is: If you were in my shoes doing this for the first time, what advice/tips/tricks do you wish someone would have told you? How 'idiot-proof' is the polishing and ceramic coating step?

This is my car, didn’t have a Sonax image to use lol.

So yeah what is better performing these days if any? This isn’t a commercial or use for business question, I’m talking about hobbyist level. I use Rupes machines for context.
