What this page is
This page quotes r/Detailing's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-10. The quoted text is the community's; the verdict above is our reading of it. Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/Detailing's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.
Free, for a specific product: a researched Reddit plan by email (communities whose rules fit your post, quoted and dated), or ThreadFox Lite, read-only tools an AI assistant can use to read a community's current rules itself, through your own Chrome (Claude Code: claude mcp add threadfox-lite -- uvx threadfox-lite). For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.
Want to post here? Get ThreadFox ($49): your AI (Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Codex) reads a community's current rules, writes one post that fits and posts once from your own Chrome. No Claude? We'll post for you ($99 per 30-day campaign). Free: a Reddit launch plan for your product, ThreadFox Lite or the posting checklist by email.

All 8 rules of r/Detailing
- No questions that are in the FAQ
FAQ's are here for a reason. If you ask one, it will be removed and you'll get banned temporarily. Usually 3 days unless it's egregious. If you argue about it, the ban will be permanent. - Don't be a dick
We're all people. If you don't have anything nice to say, just let it go and get on with your day. - No advertising
Advertising a site or product is not what this sub is about. - No self promotion
Posts that lead back to a personal or business website unless specifically asked for by OP. - No bad advice
This is no place for bad advice. Advising the use of products not made for vehicles, using auto products in a way they are not designed, etc. - No low effort posts.
Questions about the best this or recommended that, or how do I get started will be deleted. Be as specific as possible with your questions. i.e. "What is the easiest to apply ceramic coating?" Not just "What is the best ceramic coating?" - No pricing questions
Pricing questions are too localized for anyone to answer it knowledgeably. No mas. - No political/relegion/weird stuff.
Self-explanatory. This sub is about detailing and detailing related items/questions, none of those other items apply here and will result in a timeout to help you understand that followed by a perma-ban if you still don’t get it.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
