    Washing Paint with *construction debris*

    So the bldg over is having major renovation - wood, plaster, etc. Airborne dust like such that is not exactly smooth and has some bite to it...it`s going on daily and unavoidable as the contractor does not seem to like the setup where they leave containers behind, but the latter, where garbage...

    Ever have Shampoo go Bad on You

    I swear, it`s as if this particular bottle of shampoo has gone past it`s expiration date. Unless, maybe...it`s a bad jug, but it`s as if it`s lost it lubricity. WAG (wild a22 guess) but I`m thinking maybe it`s circa 3 years old ? Been trying to use this up, and with the last couple of washes, I...

    Hauling Fuel if the SHTF

    So I`m been mumbling my mind with the recent events down south.... And on my todo list that I`ve never formed a concrete plan for.. If the SHTF and you needed to evacuate (not prepper bugout) but just evacuate, there will be masses on the road and for sure, guaranteed, fuel will be sparse and...

    Re Purposing Nuba

    So it`s that time of the year again. Labor day weekend is around the corner, and I`ve started the annual putting some of the summer toys away and all that jazz. And of course, I stumble upon my `nuba stash. What to do. What to do. I`ve tinkered with giving the garage queen a mild cleaner polish...

    Spray/Rinse Sealants - Effects on your Tire Dressing Routine

    For those using Spray/Rinse Sealants, do you make it a routine to clean/dress your tires a DAY before, if you are planning to do a spray/rinse application. I`ve done it both ways, and have not noticed a issue with dressing the tire after a spray/rinse application. Kurious to see ones...

    Does Leather NEED to Breath

    Poorboys brought up one of the musings in my mind today, which was that tires need to ~bloom~, and coatings prevent that. I may be miswording his words but that`s the underlying theory. One of my other musings is Leather and Coatings on Leather. Granted for those in the know, we adhere that in...

    If you could only have ONE product post Polish refinement......

    If you could only have ONE product post polish refinement......what would it be ? Hydr02 would be the one product for me. Time change, priorities change....but I gotta say, Hydr02 has been such timesaver for me. Since late winter of this year, I`ve literally just been topping off every 5-6...

    Detailing - Almost as close cousins to Gardening

    I was doing some pruning yesterday in the green... Detailing is kinda like gardening sometimes ! It`s just like my garden beds. I`ve got some perennials that stay nice and compact, and some others planted in different areas, get leggy way too fast for my liking. This just dawned on me, as...

I`m a german tool whore collector..Deals way back was like I...

    PFM V2 - Meet my New Drying ......

    With the long`ish thread on the PFM towel, figured I`d offer a different POV just to yak off my soapbox. While I love washing the car, washing the car in principal, is a mechanical process between wash medium and panel. In my POV, I try to avoid touching the panels if the opportunity...

    longevity of LSP on dark vs. light colored cars

    It`s been a couple years in the making (literally), but my roof (house) was completely torn and redone..... Anyhow, so as they wrap up, they silicone coated XYZ and of the remarks he made struck a mental note. The coating was white to reflect the sun, mitigate heat, etc. Ultimately, the end...

    Aside from Poorboys......

    Aside from Poorboys......, and nick over @M37, where did all the detailing manuf reps go. Schilling aside, there was a time when employees of the manuf., USA distributors of imported brands, etc liked to discuss their products with fellow *consumers*. The silence cannot be ignored no more...

    SIO - Tough as Nails

    Wow. Those SIO2 spray on are tough as nails….. This winter alone, I’ve read of 3 seperatate instances where it appeared the end user had applied it wrong – aka, on a panel that was not as clean as it should, and the spray&wash sealants locked in the road film if not some dirt. I’ve never...

    What do you put on FRESH Paint

    I threw out all my glazes a looong time ago. Sold all the fancy nuba and only have 3-4 cans of Souveran on deck. What would you use for fresh paint. This is for a one time use sorta deal, meaning I don`t expect to LSP fresh paint beyond this for at least XYZ months. I dunno. Should I order me...
