    The Foam Gun. Why?

    Seeing the pictures in ajnavo61490's Corvette thread made me wonder about the benefits of the foam gun. 1. What is the purpose of the device, to put a layer of soap/foam all over the vehicle? 2. Is this supposed to act like a presoak? 3. Couldn't you do the same thing with a mixture of your...

    Detailing discussion in the chat room?

    The chat room seems to have gained some use through the scheduled chat nights and that's great. :bigups Just a thought. Would it be practical to schedule chat nights to discuss detailing processes and procedures? Like these: 1. Polishing with a random orbital machine. 2. Polishing with a...

    Menard's, Home Depot, Lowe's?

    This week-end, the three stores above were mentioned in a conversation and we ended up categorizing them a little. Menard's compares to Wal*Mart. Cheap Prices for cheap products. Competitive prices for name brand products. Home Depot compares to Target. Slightly higher quality at slightly...

    5 Minutes, my fanny!

    This morning, I happened to notice the time when I started cleaning the Montana mini-van. It was dusty dirty, driven in one light rain. Not really too bad. Lots of people would have said to leave it until it is dirty. :D I just can't seem to be able to do that. :wall Anyway: Spray & Wipe on...

    Interesting local car show

    Earlier this year, an all Chevy car show took place here in Ankeny. It was done as a fundraiser for Ankeny School Athletics and it was such a success, they are having another one to benefit the Ankeny Art Center. Hey, cars are art, right? :) The first one had a target of raising $12,000. It...

    User Names?

    We seem to have some unique, possibly even unusual user names. Chances are that some of them have a reason behind them, but I sometimes have a problem figuring out what that reason might be. :) Mine is really tough to figure out. :D If your user name is a little out of the ordinary, it might be...

    Sealant or Wax? Why?

    For years I used various waxes, but usually a Meguiar's product. I did have one brief fling with Zaino. I probably used Meguiar's Medallion Premium Paint Protection for 10 years. From the time it was released until 2002 anyway. Then I started reading detailing forums and after reading about all...

    Use of a glaze?

    How about some information on some of the uses for a glaze. Glazes have never been high on my list, but it seems I will be trying out some in the near future. The glazes will be Poorboy's Black Hole, White Diamond, and Menzerna PO115C Finishing Glaze. Some of my thoughts on glazes. Those...

    LSP for Poorboy's glazes?

    Just a few thought about what LSPs would and would not be a good choice over Black Hole or Wet Diamond. The product listing is limited to what I presently have on hand. I do not have any interest in any products not listed. I have no intention of buying more waxes or sealants. :wall Good to...

    Black Hole and/or White Diamond?

    Being the tightwad I am, I hate to buy both products so I have a question for either Poor Boy or some users. The vehicles the product would be used on: 2000 Bright Red Pontiac GTP - Black Hole recommended. 2004 White Pontiac Montana - White Diamond recommended. The goal being less polishing and...

    My recent computer problems

    In the past week, a few things have happened that don't make a lot of sense to me, but that happens to me a lot with computers. 1. The sometimes slow and erratic behaviour seems to have started aout the time I upgraded my Fire Fox to version 3.0. 2. It seems to be happening when I have my Yahoo...

    Election year spillover?

    Since there is so much petty bickering and negative oratory going on in the campaigns, I can't help but feel that some of that is affecting our everyday lives. We seem to have more paranoia, less patience, a much more suspicious attitude and a greater tendency to have negative posts in the past...

    3M on a roll!

    First I heard that they had purchased The Edge and now I have heard that they are buying Meguiar's. I have no idea if it is true or what effect it may have on any of the companies involved.

    Ever been contacted for a national presidential poll?

    Since some reference was made to skewed results on political polls and that the media results don't seem to reflect what I'm seeing on three different message boards, I thought another poll was in order. Have any of you been contacted for a media poll regarding your vote for Obama or McCain...

    Mothers PowerBall 4Paint™

    Has anyone had any experience with this product yet? Mothers PowerBall 4 Paint It isn't going to be your go to polisher for major correction, but might be a way to go cordless for the easy polish/wax jobs. Besides, you could justify buying a good cordless drill for use around the house easier...

    Who ya gonna vote for?

    If possible, I'd like to make this a totally anonymous poll. There is not an "other" option so if you don't plan to vote for these candidates, you're going to have to either not vote or start your own poll. :D I really don't want to start a political debate, but there is a reason for my doing...

    Gallery Duplicates

    Several pictures in the gallery are duplicates, but since the users uploaded those duplicates, they were posted in the gallery. If you want them edited or removed, it can be done. I have always just approved the photos as uploaded since I didn't feel it was my place to decide what you wanted in...
