I`ve never seen this before. It`s so weird. About 5 years ago, I had the hood of my 1991 Honda CRX painted. This was well before I discovered Autopia and detailing in general. The car mostly sat, being driven on occasion just to keep it going. Fast forward to recent times. I`m prepping...

This is a simple (short ?) review of Poorboy`s World SSF1 (Super Secret Formula 1) - Hot Water Extractor Formula. In this case, testing specifically with Bissell`s Little Green Machine (not to be confused with forum member TheMeanGreen :D ) I wanted to test out different dilution ratios in...

A neat experience. Thank you for reading. Just messing. It was a neat experience, but let me share a bit more. Especially for those who are considering putting your name into the hat to be part of something special. Preface: I had to wait for Competition Ready (CR) to be played on YouTube...

It`s time to add another wheel brush to the collection. I have: - Daytona Speedmaster (regular size) - Wheel Woolies brushes (Medium and small) - Wheel Woolies Boars Hair - Carrand Lug Nut Brush (?) - Carrand Sheepskin Brush (so soft, I can`t get myself to use this). Anyway, I was working on...

Hello Mr. Grungy. I`m making this post to give you my feedback, based on my own personal experience using two long throw machines: BOSS G15 and RUPES 21 MKII Quoting you from this thread...

* This is NOT an Autopia / PBMG sponsored giveaway. It`s solely for my own research, and the funding will come out of my own pocket. GIVEAWAY - What TWO Polishers Do You Use MOST We are nearing the end of 2016, and I wanted to know what the most used machines are these days I`ve searched...

I haven`t seen him post in a long while. I sent him a PM last week and never heard back. Does anybody know if he`s okay?

Recent Speed chatter reminded me of this rental I did a little over a year ago. Guy took it out on the "trails" and got some scratches on the side. Being a rental, the guy didn`t want to return it in that condition. The Chevy was taken to a touchless wash. Cleaned most of the car, but not the...

As part of a mystery box I received, these three products were used last week. All three were used a week ago Monday, Nov 21, 2016. IRON Nothing spectacular here. No pics. We`ve all seen the purple on a white vehicle, right? It *maybe* didn`t smell as bad as IronX, or BDX, but still stinky...

Greetings. I took some time to get some more practice in on my trusty test panel (it`s almost reached it`s end). This is the same panel I`ve used before on such threads as my 5 way compound comparison...

Nearly two years ago, I embarked on my detailing journey. This is the story (booooorrinnnng) of the first paint correction I did. No free samples here. No giveaways. No hidden hot-dogs, nor ghosts. Just a short story (i`ll try) and a few pics. For those that will read...enjoy! Four score and...

In an ongoing effort to hone/improve my skills, I picked up some Mirka Abralon sanding discs. I`ve tried using, by hand, 3M`s Trizact and Meguiar`s Unigrit. Both excellent products. I would have gone that way for the discs as well, but the Unigrits are discontinued(?) and the Trizacts are a...

Greetings. As another fortunate fella to receive a free bottle of this spray wax, I extend my thanks to Ultima and Autopia. Thanks! Being that this is probably the last review of that group, you`ve seen the other reviews. I won`t get into some of those details already pointed out; rather my...

Myself, I`ve been experimenting with the various handles, and no handle at all. I`m curious to what the numbers look like for the rest of you. Which do you prefer to use? If using a machine like the Bigfoot or Boss, do you prefer the bale handle, or have you gone back to the stick or D...

THIS IS NOT A THOROUGH REVIEW OR COMPARISON (Just a brief summary of my thoughts and/or experience with five 2-step combos) Objective: Trying out products! When I first started, late 2014, I started with Meguiar`s Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish. Soon thereafter, I learned about and...

Greetings. - This isn`t a review. I`m posting my first time experience, and following up with a question (or a couple). I finally had a chance to "play" with my Flex 3401. I snuck out to get some work done in the 30 or so minutes I had while the wife went to the store! I had cleaned the hood...

I looked over the v1 threads to see what people were doing and what results they were getting. I kept this in mind when I did my own "testing." Scent: Slight bubblegum scent. Pleasant, not overpowering. Feel: well, soapy. Color: pinkish I received the 4oz sample bottle with a recent order...

. Story time: I`ve been offline (Autopia Forums) for several days now. As some of you know, I`m about to tie the knot. Well, disappointed that I bought a book of knot tying and come to learn there`s no real knots to tie. Bummer. I was getting good with the Alpine Butterfly Bend. Also, I tend...

I once sorta joked in a post and included a video, as seen on post #5 here http://www.autopia.org/forums/waxes-sealants-and-lsp-s/184239-anti-scratch-coatings.html?highlight=#post2043314 But, it seems someone actually did make that product, or one very similar, for cars! Always Dry has the...

Despite Poorboys warning, my stubborn head got the better of me and I kept at it. Well, it left me high for the remainder of my work day, and throughout my commute to my gfs house. What comes next is a combination of having Friday night to myself, and being high on Poorboys* - Please, proceed...
