Quick Detailer spays are one of the most popular types of products in the detailing world for as long as I can remember, and for good reason. They are versatile products that can be used in several different scenarios and can often leave quite an impressive finish on your paintwork with very little effort at all. One of the only problems I have with quick detailers is the amount of choice available when it comes to buying, the options are…
CarPro Elixir is a product I have had recommended to me by others for as long as I can remember. As some of my regular readers will know, I recently did a guide on How to Apply Ceramic Coating. In this application, I used one of CarPro’s Ceramic Products called Cquartz Lite. Since I am keen to keep this coating looking and performing as best as possible I decided to pick up a few products to help maintain its appearance….

Polishing is the process of removing defects from your cars paintwork, which leaves it in an almost new looking condition.

I must admit, I was never really a fan of turtle wax products and never really rated them. However, Turtle wax has now released a new product line called Hybrid Solutions, which seem to be taking the internet by storm.

As you probably already know, there are MANY different ways to protect your paintwork these days. There are literally hundreds of different types of waxes, Coatings and Sealants that you can choose to help enhance and preserve your pride and joy.
