This subject came up for the umpteenth time on another recent thread and I felt compelled to post the following- Layering is simple enough to test for, and reasonable controls (well, controls sufficient for *my* acceptance at any rate) such as equalized starting times are easy enough to...

Who has the thickest, plushest, softest MF mitts *without an elastic cuff* these days? The blue ones I got last time are OK, but I can't remember who I ordered them from, at least not for sure :think:

It seems they’ve discontinued Four Star’s Spray Sealant and Ultimate Gloss Enhancer, or at least replaced them with different products. Besides using them on the S8’s paint, I also use these products on various textured and smooth black plastic items. I simply loved the idiot-proof...

Hey folks, TH0001, who's one of the more distinguished members here, got some nice recognition in the Feb. 23 issue of AutoWeek :xyxthumbs Some other pros who are familiar around here got mentioned as well (e.g. Superior Shine). Nice to see credit given where credit is due.

Just found out that he passed on Wednesday (2/3/09). According to Reuters he was 62 and died in CA of a pre-existing heart condition. I've always liked The Cramps, good psycho-billy with a great sense of humor... YouTube - The Cramps - Bikini Girls with Machine Guns

AFAIK there are only a few companies currently making BHBs and I know from experience that the quality can vary greatly, even within a single manufacturer's production runs. I need a new BHB for the S8's wheels and I want to get the best, most gentle one currently available. I was leaning...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but anyhow... Anybody have a good service facility for Metabo and/or Makita rotaries? For some reason *BOTH* of my rotaries have wobbly spindles :hairpull I'm no rotary-Meister to begin with, and this is making things even harder for me...

Summary: The Lake Country 3.5� Purple Foamed Wool (3.5� PFW) pads can be used for aggressive correction of major defects via PC. The resulting finish will require further work as there will probably be significant hazing. This approach is probably not advisable for soft to...

I was ordering some Edge 6" wool pads from AutoGeek (tried Danase, he didn't have 'em) and couldn't find the *white* ones in that size. Called 'em up and the friendly customer service guy wasn't any help at all even when I asked about special ordering them. So where can I get these things...

I once rode in a vehicle that had a true concealed-V1-conversion, with the antennas mounted at either end of the vehicle and the rest of it mounted in the dash...so I *know* it can be done. What I don't know is where I can find somebody to do it. Any ideas? And no, the people who did...

There has been a good bit of info on this subject posted recently, and some of it seems to differ from the conventional wisdom. Turns out that I have a lot of various leather goods and I use various treatments on them. Now the following might not be properly analogous as there are different...

An another thread, an Autopian posted: I didn't want to thread-jack with the following $0.02, hence this thread. It's not like there's no middle ground between doing a flawless 2/3-step correction via rotary and spending forever with a less aggressive tool ;) And speaking of middle...

This topic comes up from time to time and I *usually* tell people not to worry about it. But OTOH I leave marring in my "keepers" because I'd usually rather have imperfect looks than risk a repaint. Having recently purchased an ETG (which I haven't used yet) and having a *really*...

I've seen threads that mentioned a number of ETGs that'll work on ferrous/non panels. Does anybody have first-hand experience with the use of these on aluminum panels? My next beater project is a '00 Audi A8 that is just *trashed*...and I saw the rotary (with an incredibly filthy wool pad)...

OK, I'll admit I didn't wade through the results of my (feeble attempt at a) search :o and my 'net search didn't bring up what I expected either :think: :nixweiss Anybody have a link to direct ordering of Edge pads/adaptors?

My BHBs are all kinda old, and I was ordering from TOL anyhow, so I decided to treat myself to a new pair of the TOL BHBs. I unpacked them today and decided to CD test my various BHBs (always a good idea to periodically test wash/dry media). VERY long-winded review follows.. Test procedure...

I'll soon be without the beater-Blazer and the places we take the dogs are often nasty-muddy. Next winter will be even worse. So I gotta protect some light gray interiors... I need to get some good floor mats/liners for the Yukon, and I want ones that come up higher than the WeatherTech...

Anybody have a source for Brillo's Scrub 'N' Toss disposable kitchen cleaning pads? Our local places don't have them and the Brillo website's sources didn't have 'em either :nixweiss

I'm not getting anywhere with the SEARCH function (and the puppy's driving me nuts...). So can anybody recommend a source for static-cling paint protection film? I had an old link but it's no longer working...

Regulars here know that Accumulatorette and I go through a *LOT* of CR123 lithium batteries, primarily in our SureFire flashlights. A while back (after asking here about who had 'em cheap) I stocked up on house-brand ones from The Battery Station...fast forward to today....I opened a new pack...
