    Some quick detailing videos

    Just some videos i have made to show how products work, how to apply some and just some thoughts on them.
    I buy pretty much 90% of my stuff at Autoality
    I would consider myself a hardcore detailing enthusiast. I rarely do cars for money most of the time its just enjoyment trying out new stuff. I have used ALOT of products and been doing this for some time if anyone has any questions on any detail related items.

    Awesome thanks for sharing. I am going to have to sit down and watch them all when I get home as my work is piling up here while I play on the forums. Haha

    Thanks for posting. I may have to try a few of the products you tested. I have a collection of stuff that I like to use and I am not brand loyal on the products. Just find what I like from personal use over the years.

    Vader - I have admired the cleanliness of your ride for quite some time. Seems like you have forgotten more about detailing than most folks ever learn.

    GF decided to wrap Christiams presents in gold glitter wrapping paper. It was a disaster.

    Was she the present?? Seriously - I know all too much about glitter. My girls are always doing some sort of crafts. That crap is basically impossible to get off of any fabric.

    Sonax Polymer Net Shield is my next purchase.

    I think it would be awesome on top of CG Jetseal.

    glitter is the devil. it is really hard to get out. I would say the best way I get glitter off. I mean i havnt had alot of it to deal with..just little on seats once in a while from wife and daughter. But using a round brush attachment on a shop vac and just moving it in criss cross patterns to help pull the glitter out of the fibers depending on how they are stuck so going criss cross will help pop them up and then get sucked into the vac. but either way they are worse then sand cause they get caught in the fibers.

    could also pickup one of these.

    I have one and they work good for pet hair as the rubber creates static electricity and pulls the hair onto it. Now I wonder if the static electricity will work as well with glitter. Maybe tonight when I get home I will get the brush and sprinkle a little glitter on a rug and see how well it works and report back

    The rubber brushes are nice but doubt it'll work on glitter. Try patting the seat (vibration) while using the vacuum. I've done that in the past for random shit stuck in fabric.

    Thanks for the info guys! In gonna buy the brush right now. And I have that attachment for the shop vac I will give it a shot. I even email Larry@ ammo NYC for advice. He has yet to get back to me. His videos on YouTube are impressive.
