I'd been very satisfied using Cobra WWMFs for Glass, IIRC I got 'em from AG as an impulse buy when checking out their BHBs. But now they're leaving scads of MF lint behind :( And yeah, I always wash them separately to avoid any cross-contamination. It seems like they must've worn out to the...

Anybody know of any good online forums with info about the previous-generation Chevy Suburbans? Our dog-car requirements are changing and I need to start looking into something bigger than the Blazer :o If I gotta drive one of those behemoths it'll need some serious upgrades...

Check out out this video clip. The guy's *great* driving skills don't impress me as much as the way he kept his head and did the right thing when it hit the fan. LINK: LiveLeak.com - Good Save

On another thread, ZoranC posted: I suggested he try a BHB instead of the mitts, and he posted back: We were about to commit an egregious threadjacking, so I'm picking the topic up again here. I thought this might be of interest to somebody besides ZoranC so I'm not just pursuing it via...

Apoligies if this has been covered before, gotta admit I didn't run a search :o I'm wondering if anybody's tried using stuff like QEW/ONR with the foamgun. This came to me while I was replying the the recent ONR thread and thinking about combining my methods with those of rinseless...

Some of you folks have removed some pretty nasty stains; I need your advice. The problem is badly stained light gray carpet that's been that way for a long time. Even with the Ninja extractor, the Cyclo carpet brushes, and the Daimer steamer, the carpeted dead pedal area of the MPV refuses...

I really like the H-T EC and I'm about to order some OCP to mix with it (as opposed to the 1Z Ultra I used last time). Since I'm ordering from TOL anyhow... :o I know some H-T users have also used 3M's PI-III RC 05933, so: How does the H-T HC compare with PI=III RC 05933? I've...

Accumulatorette wants my ViewSonic P220f, so it looks like I'm gonna be buying a new monitor. I'd appreciate some help in coming up with my short-list. I trust you folks a lot more than the usual internet site comparisons. What're the best ones in the at-least-20" size? By "best" I mean...

I've said that Meguiar's Deep Crystal Step #1 Paint Cleaner is nonabrasive, and I was wrong about that- it *does* contain (diminishing) abrasives. But whether it will be *functionally* abrasive on your paint is another matter. I just read a post from Mike P. over at MOL where he says that...

My Griot's low-profile floorjack went inop on my today, at a terribly inconvenient time :angry This is the second one that's done that, and it's not like I abuse them or anything. Anybody know of a good, low-profile jack that *works* and keeps on working? My reliable Craftsman one isn't...

I've thought about this before, but over at MOL, Superior Shine didn't just *think* about it, he's actually trying to put something together. SO...I'll float the idea for consideration here (Moderators feel free to move this if there's a more appropriate forum). How about having a few...

Since I'm cutting and pasting from other forums today (e.g., my Air Wand thread), I thought I'd do this one as well. Time to debunk a little conventional wisdom and eat a little crow :D Not sure if this oughta go in Detailing or in Products, so Mods- please move it if necessary. Over at...

I'd originally posted this over at the BCC forums, thought I'd cut & paste it here. I'd initially thought the Air Wand would be an answer in search of a question, but recent posts where people dismissed the foamgun *without having tried it* prompted me to be open-minded about this product...

I was gonna post the following in the "Spit Shining with FK 425" thread, but decided to make it a new one. IMO we're kinda blurring the common-use definition of "spit-shining" and I'm guilty of doing it myself :o See if this is the consensus of the whole thing, and correct me if I have...

The steamer I currently have, while much more powerful than the hand-held models, still isn't as potent as I'd like. I'm toying with the idea of spending some real money on a very powerful unit. Not as powerful as the propane powered monster we had at the dealership, but still something beyond...

Although I plan to keep using AIO under SG, I'd like to find a less-expensive alternative for other applications. Something that will provide cleaning abilities at least equal to AIO's. I've tried Autoglym's SRP, TOL's Snap Seal, 1Z's various polishes, and VM- none of them match AIO's...

I often use magnification to evaluate my paint, and like others here I sometimes use the 30X lighted magnifier from Radio Shack. It's a great tool and perfect for jobs like inspecting the edges of tools during sharpening. But I never really enjoy using it for paint inspection, as it seems to...

Stoddard dropped off a new '06 Audi A6 today when they picked up the S8 for servicing, so I got to live with the MMI system, which controls the navigation/stereo/etc systems. What a stupid example of technological overkill :rolleyes: It would be one thing if it only controlled things like...

Since I failed to get this when everybody had it in stock :o does anyone know where I can still pick some up? Shipping from the UK sounds like an expensive hassle...

I was gonna order a gallon each of my go-to abrasives (PI-III RC/MG). Well, I waited too long and my usual source is no longer shipping them, just the VOC-compliant PI-II and PI-3000 stuff. Being stubbornly insistent upon not fixing what isn't broken in my routine, I'd like to know where I can...
