While being prepared to ride out Hurricane Ike at the house, the unfortunate news of a possible 20 foot storm surge made us seek higher ground. To that end we packed the wife's truck and headed 30 miles inland to stay with some folks but the truck was parked outside during the storm. We were...

I've just recently introduced myself to carnuba waxes and have had at times some probs removing the CMW that I use. I always apply and remove in the shade but w/ the hot and humid summer days that I've been applying I sometimes have probs completely removing it. It's put on via PC and 4" pads...

I've learned lots from this forum and would like to share a tip I picked up elsewhere - when vacuuming carpet/upholstery using a shop vac remove the filter (more HP) then fill the vac's tank about 1/3 full w/ water. This will bypass the use of a pleated filter ensuring a better filtering system...

I'm looking to buy a proheat LGCM through Aamazon and see two listed - turbo brush and not? Any downside to the turbo brush?

I'm venturing away from just the family cars that I have kept up through the years to others that haven't been :rolleyes:. So lots of diluted APC and carpet cleaners will be used. I've read Folex for the carpets doesn't leave a soapy residue but I may use others as well. So my question is: how...

I just picked mine up a few hours ago from Lowe's and have been playing around the house w/ it - seems like a nice little machine. I plan to do the cloth upholstery in my wife's truck tomorrow and was wondering how you guys are using this? I'm guessing I'll start w/ the small mf bonnet on the...

Love bug season is upon us who live in my area along the Gulf coast. I have some concerns about protecting my grill from the ravages of the little satanic things. My defense has been to apply quite a few squirts of AW to the grill first thing then move on to doing the rest of the car, letting it...

I did the last full correction on my black DD last fall and have had great results using DG 105 since last summer. However since a thread surfaced on Product Discussion concerning 3M IHG (I already have an industrial sized bottle from years ago) - I may revisit using it to fill the minor marring...

Cap from episode last night: Looks like Turtle wax?

I usually pop into Big Lots every coupla weeks as there's no telling what I'll find. I happened on these Sentry Bulletz in ear phones last night for six bucks and bought a pair not expecting to be surprised. Got them home and plugged into my Marantz CD player and UGH! Bloated bass and...

I gave my wife's truck her spring polish and fresh topping a week ago and applied the second coat of DG 105 Tuesday. I noticed a dime sized bomb on her hood and did the usual presoak w/ QD, waited about 30 secs. and went to absorb it w/ a mf cloth....it slid off! Like it was on Teflon! I've...

Had some beautiful days along the Gulf Coast where I live this weekend. Autopian related: washed, did a quick interior detail and added sealant to the car and truck yesterday. DG PBA followed by 105...I like it, spreads like butter and no dust. Topped w/ AW this morning, yikes, I like this...

Well I'm about six weeks away from bug season here along the Gulf Coast and am looking for something to help keep my DD from the ravages of bug induced damage. Bug Off! from Griots looks promising, "Simply spray this liquid protector on the front of your car, and smack as many bugs as you want...

The rear bumper cover on my black 07 Mustang has minor marring and fine scratches. The material seems rather flimsy and am afraid to use the PC on it. I have Menz FPII and 3MPII pad glaze I can use, also 4" pads for the PC if it's fine to use.

Anyone have any experience w/ Prima Hydro? I stumbled across a thread on another site while searching for glazes and found some amazing pics of what this stuff can do and am ready to pull the trigger on a bottle of it. Any first hand experience here?

Did a google on this site and could not turn anything up but I've been playing around w/ a hose end garden sprayer as a presoak/washer and like the results. I'm using a 4:1 dilution (water to car shampoo) to presoak the car as I'm doing the wheels and tires, reapplying to keep wet. Then rinsing...

I normally wash my LC pads in 5 gal. buckets w/ fairly warm water and car wash. Let sit for about 15 mins. wring through w/ my hands, let sit some more, pour out water, redo the process then move to clear water for final rinsing. Works well polishes and glazes but doesn't seem to thoroughly...
