    Are you getting used to this new format/software in this forum?

    I'm glad Tapatalk still works. So many forums have lost me as they turned it off.

    What New Products are you trying in 2025

    Rumors are that the 1 and Done is now discontinued. Really stinks as it is an amazing polish. Better grab some before it's too late.

    Jump starter boxes

    I can't see them making sense for the average person. How often do you need it, chances are it's going to be dead when you need it unless you keep it charged regularly which seems silly. Jumper cables last decades.

    C'mon, People

    I’d post more often if there were more worthy products to try. All we get lately is new labels and scent variations.

    Washing in the rain?

    I used to wash in the rain a long time ago, and I guess I just forgot about it. I did it again today and remembered so many reasons I really like it. Number one is no water spots or worries about soap drying. You also get a spot free rinse. I can wash the entire car and rinse at the very...

    A real ceramic AIO?

    Always looking to up my AIO game. Current products last 2-4 months outdoors 24*7. Are there any Ceramic AIOs that are worth checking out? The TW and Griots products have my attention. Anything else out there?

    Suggestions for Rolling Seats/Chairs and Kneeling Pads Used for Detailing

    I just moved mine this summer. Called a tow truck and got it moved for $250.

    Weather

    Its funny to get spun up by the weather guy, but the numbers don`t lie... I was looking at the historical data at NWS... wow have there been some cold days in the DC area in the mid 80s. Climate (change for your location, then look at the temperatures graph)

    Garage moisture issues

    How are you guys dealing with moisture in your garage? I bought a new to me house and the previous owners were pretty oblivious to a mold problem in the garage. There were a few really nasty spots. I did cast some judgement on them for that but in a twist of irony while cleaning out my old...

    2021 WOWA Sealants?

    After a few rounds with various coatings I think I’m back to my old routine of clay and AIO every nine to 12 or so months. One product I’ve really enjoyed is Optiseal. If it lasted six months outdoors it would be perfect actually, I get about two months before performance decreases with...

    Tire Foam, what`s good these days?

    I`m getting more pragmatic or lazy as time goes on. I picked up an old can of No Touch I had sitting around and used it. I was quickly reminded why I liked foam back in the olden days. Its so easy to apply and it gets the tires nice and clean. It wears well and no brown stuff after it wears...

    Interesting article about detailing among younger people

    Non Traditional Hose Recommendations

    Hey guys, looking for a garden hose for filling the buckets and other uses. Still using a pressure washer for the car itself. I hate dealing with a regular hose, they are heavy and a PITA to wind/store. I had a coiled hose that was ok, lasted about 4-5 years which was longer than I expected...

    Spray bottle deteriorated - rinseless wash

    I can`t see using anything other than one of the handheld pump sprayers for a rinseless wash. Just too much spraying for a regular spray bottle.

    No Prep Coating

    So my wife`s car got hit with the sprinklers and had some solid water spots that weren`t budging even with my goto QD. I did an A-B-C wash using the Finish Kare system, worked great, all the spots just melted away... but the paint needed some protection. I started thinking about doing some SNS...

    AA 12V Car Vacuum

    With less and less time on my hands, I wanted to find a vacuum I could use while being away from home, for times when I`m waiting in the car for someone else. Instead of surfing the forums, I can do a bit of cleanup. I wanted something cheap enough and small enough to leave in a car. It...

    Interesting read about chalking and rights to your private property

    I, like many fellow autopians, probably hate when anyone touches your car. I found this article interesting because the courts found touching the car to mark the tires was in fact illegal. https://techcrunch.com/2019/04/24/chalking-unconstitutional/

    QD for shoes?

    Is there such a thing as Quick Detailer for shoes? I`d like to quickly shine up my dress shoes without a lot of fuss, maybe spray something like a QD on a MF and quickly wipe down a shoe. Does such a product exist?

    Nu finish rapid shine foam detailer.

    Wonder how different it is from Cling.
