Mothers Back-to-Black Tire Renew Easy no rinse tire cleaner Background I was washing the Dakota recently and had cleaned the tires with Meg's APC 4:1 and a scrub pad. I did not immediately dry the tires and proceeded to wash the paint. Once I finished washing the paint, the tires had dried...

I have been in north eastern Florida since Tuesday and it has been cool. It was not cold but breezy so the extra wind chill on Tues and Wed. It was still chilly on yesterday (Thurs) but clear and sunny.

How do you clean glass?

My whole house water filter broke this past week so had the water softener company out to install a fancier filter. During the process, I got the water retested. Our water comes from a community well(s) managed by Aqua so I wanted it check again. ph=7.1 Hardness= 10 grains HARD Total Dissolved...

Using information from Chem Guys web site, I created this table comparing characteristics. All info is from CG but interesting to see how they compare suds, lubricity, gloss, etc.

The write up says 400:1 but then says 1 ounce per 5 gallons which would be about 1:640. For a 3 gallon mix (close to what I typically use), it would be just about 1 ounce. What dilutions are you Hyper-Washers using?

Dramm Water Shut off I use a water shut off with the Gilmour quick disconnect system so I can change hook to pressure washer, fire hose nozzle, garden sprayer, or a cut off hose end to sheet water after washing. I had a decent full flow Gilmour shut off made of steel/plastic and it started to...

I finally tried out my Camspray foam cannon with my pressure washer. For my initial use I chose Optimum Car Wash since I consider it on the higher end of foaming soaps. This is the first type I have used any foam cannon with my pressure washer. Pressure Washer: Kranzle 1120T (full power: 1400...

Nikon seems to be running a nationwide 2 day sales promotion (many online sellers like amazon, b&h, adorama) on the Nikon D600. This is a 24 MP / 1080p FULL frame camera for $2000 plus numerous free goodies added by the individual sellers. It includes the 24-85 kit lens so you get the kit...

I was looking at some of the ads this weekend and noticed both Lowe's and Home Depot will have the Werner 20-in platform on sale for $17. I already have one but maybe pick up a second one.

I find this type of applicator found at craft stores like Michaels to be handy to apply trim dressings like Ultima and Solution Finish. They are good for applying the dressing more precisely as opposed to a foam applicator. If you really try to get into crevices, they can get damaged since the...

In the spirit of the Kuhuna and seems to be a popular ongoing topic on AGO, I will start this thread here. This gives everyone something a chance to post. Yesterday, I washed the wife's car with Optimum Car Wash, dried with the Master Blaster, and cleaned the jambs with CG speed wipe. For...

What is your preference and what do you use for photo management? Do you use a web host? I usually shoot both especially if I need jpgs to post in a hurry. For photo management, I use Lightroom and host photos on smugmug.

I have a tub of DP Max Wax, used once, in old packaging for trade. I am looking for Wolfgang Auto Bathe, Blackfire soap, Blackfire APC, or something new (like Pinnacle products). :autopia:

Any suggestions on where to start with a dilution ratio for foam cannon use. BTM is like 800:1 dilution in a bucket (around 1/2 ounce for 3 gallons).

Here are some products I acquired in 2012 that have homes in the arsenal. Blackfire Midnight Sun Paste I chose this based upon a recommendation from Jim (Dr. Oldz). It did not disappoint. It darkens paint (makes black look black), adds a ton of gloss, top tier slickness, and surprisingly...
