Choosing the best car cover for outdoor use can be confusing. You might believe that a cover made for outdoor use would be waterproof, but that's not always the case.

Did you know that protecting your car, truck or SUV with a custom car cover can bring you 15% or more money at resale?

Will a Car Cover Prevent Car Theft?

I've been a very faithful car cover user since the late 70's when I had my screaming yellow Opel GT. Do you remember that little car? It didn't have much go power, but it was fun. In 1991 I had the misfortune of having my Porsche 944 Turbo liberated from my ownership while parked in [...]

This morning I received an email from Michael in Huntington Beach, California asking me for my advice on which car polisher he should buy. He said "I really wanted the Meguiar's G110v2, but it has not been available and the price rocketed up. Is the Porter Cable 7424xp just as good?" // // It's interesting [...]

Car Covers… OMG! Where Do You Begin?

A few months ago Amazon.com broke ties with California affiliates in response to a new Use Tax collection law signed by the California State Legislature and Governor Jerry Brown. As a result, the Guide to Detailing site lost its funding support. I'm pleased to announce that our product catalog has new representation through eBay and [...]

What’s the Difference Between Car Care Products?

I got an interesting question the other day from my friend Ray. He started detailing cars on the side a few years ago using a bunch of supplies I needed to clear out of the garage. Now completely out of waxes, polishes and sealants, Ray asked "Hey, what's the difference between car care products?" "Not [...]
