    My FIRST attempt at posting a video

    Ignore my heavy breathing if you have your sound on LOL. This is how my wife`s Escape looks after roughly 13 hours of cleaning, polishing and waxing.

    The joys of being in a car club

    Most of you know that my Camaro has 166,100 miles on it. One of the things that has really taken a beating is my driver`s side floor mat. Being a manual transmission, that means A LOT of clutch work with my left foot, which = A huge hole in the mat ... at least it hasn`t affected the actual...

    So, I did a thing ...

    So a few years ago, I attended a Cars & Coffee event at Summit Racing. While I was there, I learned about a local Camaro Club and became a lurker on their Facebook page. Fast forward to this past September, and my Camaro popped up a CEL and "Reduced Engine Power" warning. I took it to the shop...

    T/W Hyper-Foam Wheel and Tire Cleaner / Graphene/Acrylic Tire Coating - 5 months later

    Some thoughts on the Hybrid Solutions Hyper-Foam, Wheel and Tire Cleaner and the Graphene/Acrylic Tire coating – 5 months after the first use: The first time I used these products was on my wife`s Escape last July. When scrubbing the tires with the Hyper-Foam, the suds turned PITCH BLACK...

    A `new` and surprising product for interior plastic, vinyl and fabric cleaning

    I used a “New to Me” cleaner that I learned about on You Tube, on one of APEX Detailing`s videos. The cleaner is not sold in stores, or online (not exactly). It is a home-brew concoction using two VERY common cleaners – laundry detergent (without fabric softener) and an APC (I used Purple Power...

    Dang! They will make ANYONE an "Influencer." LMBO

    As you all know (or should), I`m a big fan of the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions / Hybrid Solutions Pro Lines. The results I`ve been getting on my car and the wife`s car have been incredible and unbelievably easy. Long story short, I joined a group on Facebook for TW enthusiasts. All I did was post...

    I made some mistakes, hopefully someone can learn from them.

    I FINALLY made a few mistakes with the Flex Wax. I`m going to post about it so maybe others will learn from my screw ups and have a better experience. My recent experience HAS NOT soured me on Flex Wax, it`s made me realize that you can`t rush and try to do things super fast. Mistake #1. The...

    I have a convert - LOL

    One of the guys at work has a late model Charger HellCat that he BABIES. NO winters, NO Rain Etc. He has seen how my Camaro looks and yesterday he saw the wife-mobile and HAD to know what I used to make them look that good. I told him Turtle Wax, Hybrid Solutions Products. He MADE me look them...

    The Wife-mobile gets "Turtled."

    Finally gave in to all the wife`s "hinting" to clean her car. I figure I`ve been harping on Hybrid Solutions, so I thought that I had better use it on her car too. I won`t post about the wheels and tires since I already did in the "Torture Test" thread, so onto the body work. Wash - Meg`s...

    Torture Test! Turtle Wax Foaming Wheel Cleaner

    I used the Hybrid Solutions Foaming Wheel and Tire Cleaner on the wife-mobile today. It hasn`t been washed since early Fall and the front brakes put out a ton of dust. The normally silver rims were brown/black and I figured this would be a good test subject for the wheel cleaner. The wheels and...

    Tires getting cleaner scrubbing with a microfiber than a brush?

    Maybe it`s just me, or maybe it`s the Turtle Wax, or maybe I`m onto something. But ever since I tried the new TW foaming wheel and tire cleaner and the ceramic/acrylic tire shine, my tires have been coming exceptionally clean just rubbing them down with a microfiber cloth and car wash soap...

    Where`s the dirt?

    Friday night while I was working, it started raining and I drove 46 miles down the highway, in the rain, to get home. This morning, I went out to the car, which is in the garage. The car had dried since parking it in there Saturday morning and when I looked at the rear end, there was no dirt...

    The Camaro +To The Max Wax in DIRECT SUNLIGHT

    After sleeping all day yesterday to recover from my 7-day, 12 hours a day work week, I got up this morning and did it. I washed the Camaro and after finishing drying it, I started to apply the Hybrid Solutions Graphene/To The Max Wax. For an applicator, I used an auto-parts store microfiber...

    Turtle Wax to the Max Wax

    I`ve had a really good experiences with the Hybrid Solutions Flex Wax and well, I`ve been watching older You Tube videos and have watched several on the HS Pro To the Max Wax. Makes me wonder if I should pick up a bottle and use the Flex Wax as a topper. Does anyone have experience using this...

    Turtle Wax HS Graphene & Acrylic tire shine / One Month

    I first used the new TWHS Graphene & Acrylic tire shine about a month ago. Since then, the car has been driven about 2,000 miles through a couple of rains, some of them heavy. I just finished washing the car and instead of using a wheel & tire cleaner, I used Megs Hyper-wash and a microfiber...

    Am I wrong in NOT wanting to use a drying aid?

    Last summer I bought a dedicated drying towel for the Camaro, I`m suffering from CRS (Can`t Remember Stuff), but I`m pretty sure it`s a Griot`s PFM. The thing is AWESOME!!! I know my older MF towels ended up "ruined" for drying due to using them with waxes and sealants since they became...

    New Turtle Wax Tire Shine + Flex Wax

    Here is a pic of the new Turtle Wax graphene & acrylic tire shine on the Camaro. I followed the instructions: apply, wait 5 minutes and buff the excess. I had to wipe them down again the next day because some of the product was "caught" in the grooves and seeped out onto the tire making it look...

    TW Foaming Tire Cleaner and Graphene/Acrylic Tire Shine

    I used both for the first time today. My tires/wheels hadn`t been cleaned since October (I know, the horror), but because of life getting in the way and Ohio`s winter, it couldn`t be helped. I sprayed the cleaner on the tires and just spritzed it on the wheels since I have powder coated stock...

    Amazon fog lights - Issues, Resolutions and a surprise

    Recently, I bought fog lights off Amazon for the Camaro. The kit came with everything...light housings & bulbs, wiring harness, inline fuse, relay switch and on/off switch. The hardest part of the install was what to hook the hot wire for the relay to, since I didn`t feel like running wires...
