Seeing as how it`s Spring, we got 4" of heavy, wet snow last night here in Ohio. Since I was at work, my car was out in it and got covered. But comparing it to the other, non-maintained cars in the parking lot, there was no snow on the vertical panels. All the other cars were covered top and...

A while back I saw a video on You Tube where the detailer recommended using a Magic Eraser for glass cleaning. He used an IPA solution and microfibers and got great results. I have found that almost all (except waffle weave towels) will leave mass amounts of lint on the glass, not a good thing...

Turtle Wax Flex Wax **UPDATED WITH PICS** I finally got the Camaro out of the shop yesterday and after it stopped raining, I got it all washed up and ready to try the Flex Wax, but by then it was too dark. So sometime today (after I find out what`s on the wife`s honey-do list) I am going to...

Good News: I finally got hold of some Turtle Wax Graphene Flex Wax to try out. The Bad News: I wasn`t able to pick up my Camaro from the shop yesterday after getting some routine maintenance done, and they`re not open on weekends... So no playing with the car for me this weekend :wall

A friend of mine is wanting to get the interior of her car done and I don`t do interiors. Is there anyone in the Cleveland (Ohio) area that might be interested?

Not a bad reflection for a 9 year old / 137,000 mile car.

We had a nice 60* day today and I had just washed the car last night, so why not freshen up the protection on the Camaro? Following some tips from PAPA SMURF on You Tube, instead of applying two sprays per panel, I sprayed the TW HS Spray Ceramic on a microfiber applicator (two sprays initially...

Hello all, I know I`ve been gone a while - been going through a funk and I`m finally out of it. Anyway, Monday, March 1st was 56* and I was finally able to properly wash the Camaro. I also just got a new jug of Meg`s Hyper wash for Christmas, so that`s what I used (1 - 2 oz per 5 gal water)...

My wife`s Explorer is not exactly the most well cared for car. It`s old & very rusty and (IMO) not very detail-worthy. I`m not going to chance washing or waxing it and risking getting rust flakes in my towels and pads. But my wife asked me to clean her windows, so yesterday in the morning while...

So I bought the HS Wet Wax yesterday. I used it as a drying aid and it really accentuated my need for better, more absorbent microfibers. Seemed to work well enough though - no water spotting or streaking. So this morning, I figured I`d try a slightly off-label use ... on a dry car as a QD...

Yesterday was the 2nd time I used the HS Ceramic Polish & Wax. The 1st time I used it, it was ~ 50* - 60* and I had some difficulty removing it. Well it`s been roughly a month since I got the Camaro back from the body shop and the finish was all swirled up, so it definitely needed some TLC. It...

My wife busted me using the electric leaf blower that I said was crap for doing leaves, and drying my car with it. Not only did she harass me about using the "crappy" leaf blower to dry my car, she took pictures to show the neighbor how insane I was about detailing my car. THEN she said if it`s...

Just picked it up, of course they "detailed" (swirled) it, so I`ll have to take care of that on my days off, Looks great! Especially with the front plate off. I asked about cure time and they said they did bake the paint, but to give it until Saturday and then I "can do anything I want to it."

JacFab - Laminator FX I looked into a ported intake manifold for my Camaro, and the company that does the porting, also offers this drop-in piece that gives approximately a 17% increase in airflow as opposed to a 19-21% for a ported manifold ($100 VS $450). I watched the video on the site about...

UPDATE: I just got a call from the body shop. They said that the planned date for the Camaro being ready to go home is the 29th, but the Service Advisor I`m dealing with says NOT to be surprised if I get the call early (say maybe Friday). He didn`t want to commit though, just in case they hit a...

I love the Hybrid Solutions Line on my black Camaro, and after watching these two vids, I can`t wait for the Camaro to get out of the shop so I can try this stuff! I know some might talk about `fillers` and black dye doing the work, but if you watch the video on the black wax, you can see the...

Guy INSISTED I was speeding, but pulled out in front of me anyway .....

Would this be a good starting point? Griot`s PFM Towel combo

As you know, I just used the Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Polish & Wax on the Camaro using a foam cutting pad. It went well enough, but no matter how little I tried to use, it seemed to over apply and made removal not as easy as it was for Brian at Apex Detailing. It was suggested to me that the...

What`s up all? I have run into a problem. I am almost out of Meguiar`s Hyper Wash and AG is out of stock (1 gallon lasted me 2 years, not bad). I know a lot of you would suggest a RW or WW, but I am old fashioned and like suds - lots of suds and I don`t really want a wash & wax or something that...
