With gas prices falling daily, I may have some extra money to buy some stuff. Gas is down to $1.59 locally and the way it's going I fully expect it to be under a dollar soon. :drool: Well, maybe not. :notme: :rofl:rofl:rofl

First off, let me state that right now I am using a *Cobra Bone for rinseless washing and am happy with the results. :bigups *As well as sea sponges, grout sponges and various cotton chenille mitts and pads. Now, being a cheapskate, reading about a MF sponge available at Big Lots for $2, I had...

For years, it was typical for me to rinse out my wash mitt in clean water and figure it was good to go for the next use. I'm really not sure I have ever washed a mitt in the washing machine. Seems to have worked good for a long time. Now, with the advent of rinseless washes that seem to get the...

Reading Reddwarf's thread about "One less product" got me thinking. How many products do you use for a wash and interior cleanup? The one you do each week! My usual stash I need to haul from the basement to the garage in the cold weather. 1. Wash product which would be either S&W or a rinseless...

In the last 24 hours, gas prices here have gone as low as $1.77, jumped up to $1.92 and now are all over the board. Anywhere from $1.77 through the $1.79, $1.84, $1.89. Evidently they were selling too much gas at $1.77 so they raised it until people quit buying and then started back down a...

How long would a gallon of Poorboy's Spray & Wipe and a quart of PB's Bold N Bright have to be exposed to temperatures in the upper 20s to be damaged? It takes about 5 days for an order to reach me from the DC Store and depending on when the order is shipped, it could very easily end up on a...

The Optimum instructions recommend a dampened pad for hand application, but not for machine application. Excerpts from those instructions: Hand Application Apply to a small area with a dampened foam or cloth applicator. Machine Application Apply with orbital or rotary polisher and appropriate...

Usually, I am able to get more LSP on my vehicle about every 4 to 6 weeks, even in the winter. Because of that, I have never been terribly concerned about durability, but..... Of the products I presently have, I have rated them in the following order, only because of what I read. All of them...

While surfing a different site during my "time off", I read a post about an interesting and different approach to polishing and waxing/sealing. The individual did a full swirl removal, cleaner polish, wax/seal procedure once a year. In his instance, I believe he used Collinite as his LSP, but...

Keep in mind that the frustration we are feeling is probably a very small amount compared to what Troy is going through. Hopefully, patience will prevail. (Better prevail pretty darn soon, too!):D

Why do we seem to feel that spray wax/sealant can't/doesn't have the durability of a liquid or paste product? The consistency of the product doesn't seem like it should have a lot to do with it. I'm not talking about wipe on, walk away products, but products that are conventionally applied and...

Since gas in my area is now down to $2.19 a gallon, it seems that everyone has lost interest in finding alternate sources of fuel. It isn't time to panic, but it is time to make some effort to get away from a source of energy that will someday be exhausted. Probably sooner than we think.

I just got this from my cousin in Illinois. He didn't happen to be the one telling the story. Drive in IL? Pass this on! Thought I would share my experience with you in the hope of helping you avoid the same fate. I was ticketed by an officer in a van with a digital set up and radar system in...

The new Friends List is kind of nice and I am happy to be friends with people, but..... Just what do we do with this list? Like how do we use it? Do I need to invite all these people to Thanksgiving Dinner? Do they go on my Christmas List? Can I call on them whenever I need bail made? :dunno:

Just some random thoughts about cold weather detailing. Anything above freezing allows a bucket wash, but it sure isn't enjoyable. I no longer do it. From 32 degrees to 40 is very marginal for the performance of most of the products I use. I seldom try to do anything but the interior when it's...

Don't anyone take this as a personal jab, because I seem to be in the minority with my view point. How many of you surf the net while "On the clock"? When I was employed, I didn't and really never even considered surfing the net. It didn't seem any different than talking on the phone to a...

It is interesting to me to read how many people are using waffle weave micro fiber towels for rinseless or waterless washes. The instructions on every rinseless/waterless product I have used state very clearly to use a terry weave towel. Seemed tome that the manufacturer should have a pretty...

This has been discussed before and I did a search and am still looking for some information. 1. Poorboy usually recommends 3 parts BnB to 1 part of water when he mentions dilution. 2. Several others mention a 50:50 mix. 3. I have always used it straight. 4. Obviously, it seems to work for...

It would seem that any 6.5" pads that are suitable for use with a PC should work with the Flex, correct? Would a 5.5" or 6" pad work if used with care on only easily accessible areas? I realize that the backing plate would be at or slightly beyond the edge of the pad, but if you kept the pad...

The Dura Gloss products I have used seemed to work quite well so this is not in any way intended to dis the line. My question for some of you with a chemical background is: Does #601 actually blend/mix with #105 and create an epoxy effect for the finished product? It almost sounds like a little...
