    Probably a Brad question, but I'll take all views...

    My 1979 Mercedes sits in the garage all detailed and covered with a nice soft flannel cover. It is very rarely driven (maybe comes out 3-5 times a year) and never in the rain. Do I ever have have re-wax this car? I mean if it doesn't get any sun or anything, does the wax degenerate (or some...

    Acuracer has a weird scratch - Need advice

    My wife backed the car this winter into a small snowbank when coming out the garage and it created a scratch(s) on the lower back panel. This is the plastic bumper panel and I am not sure if there is anyway to get this out short of a repaint. It almost looks and feels like I took one swip...

    Quick Question: SMR, Dawn, PPCL, AIO or SMR, PPCL, Dawn, AIO?

    I know, half of you will say if you are doing PPCL then why do the AIO and vice versa - but I like the PPCL's ability to negate any remaining SMR haze on the black sucky Acura paint and I think that in the mystery that is Klasse, there is some benefit to bonding AIO with SG before the Souveran...

    Habits that make us true Autopians

    A comment from another post made me think of this. In your mind, what detailing habits (bizarre ones) make us true, totally anal, Autopian detailers? 1) We remove the wheels to clean both sides and the wheel wells. 2) To vacuum, we remove the seats 3) Use leaf blowers to dry the car 4)...

    Just a quick update

    So, as I have described we have a full blown water ban on. So I can't wash the Acura. BUT, it have a brand new PC, 3 new yosteve towels, and a Pinnacle Souveran starter kit. SO I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING! The Mercedes is clean in the garage in winter storage but feels a bit rough to the...

    Welcome to the NEW PROPERAUTOCARE.com, with a sale of course!

    As far as covering the garage floor, we know the problems with paint and the best alternative seems to be the full mats from Sam's Club. I stumbled on these over at the Cobra Club forum and have not heard of anyone mentioning these before. Anyone seen these? They certainly look viable...

    Grand Prix GTP

    I am testing the PC on the '98 Exploder before spring cleaning on the black '01 Acura but I have a question. I was SMR'ing the ford to test drive the PC (white pad) and it was going fine until I realized I wasn't sure when to stop and wipe down with the towel. I have heard people say...

    Does a Porter Cable improve results or just take less time?

    I think this is a question that there might be some differing opinions on. I am not too uptight about how long it takes to do the AIO/SG/Blitz shuffle. But would a PC improve my results or just get me out of the driveway quicker?
