    System 2000 pad washer w/ DA machine?

    I know the System 2k Pad Washer from Lake Country is marketed as a pad cleaner for rotary buffers, however Rick @ ADS 's description says it works with DA polishers too. My question for you folks that have them is, have you tried it with a DA polisher and what were the results?

    Edge pads since 3M bought them out?

    Autogeek doesn't show much in the way of Edge foam pads lately. I have a slew of them and went to go refresh my memory on their cut. I remember Edge's system wasn't colored similarly to LC so I didn't want to get botched up. I can't even find info on the orange pads (not waffle) to top it off...

    IP camera suggestions with time lapse/auto-snapshot abilities?

    My HOA is continually harassing me and sending me violations that my lawn is overgrown. The HOA documentation/bylaws state the lawn can be no taller than 6" in height, which it is not. Anyway, because of this we've hired a lawn service to take care of the lawn to the tune of $80/mo because...

    Howdy guys

    Long time no talk! Just checking in, it's been a long long while. I don't have time to detail with a 9 month old and a house to care for and clean (though that's not going well either in the clean department). I just wanted to drop in. I got an email from Troy a while back saying he sold the...

    How do you handle super soot covered exhaust tips?

    I had a client this weekend with a SUV with an aftermarket exhaust where I simply could not get all of the soot to come off the tips. I sprayed the tips liberally with P21s wheel gel and let that soak while washing the car hoping it would break up the carbon deposits. Once I got around to...

    VPS providers? Who uses who?

    For those of you with your own webpages (personal or otherwise) that uses a VPS, who do you use and what is your opinion of them? Would you recommend them? I've been trying a VPS with one company and I'm honestly not that impressed. Granted it's their lowest package it should still be able to...

    ONR+Distilled Water

    Over on optimum forums a member sal329 I think it is asked about ONR + Distilled water and foregoing the drying stage to prevent any possible marring. I was actually pondering this earlier this morning before I saw that post. I figured I'd bring it over here to a higher traffic area. What...

    Is anyone here Cisco certified? Network Questions

    I've been dealing with Cisco support trying to add another Subnet to my office network. Unfortunately the support is now outsourced so there's a language barrier on top of a complex topology. This is what I am trying to accomplish. Cisco says this is not do-able. They state the 172.x...

    Amazing roll off?

    Have any of you used this? I stopped at a Marine supply shop (Boating) and picked some up. Lots of folks have mentioned it in other places. On a good note this place also had the 303 Upholstery cleaner/Spot remover, the 303 Fabric guard and the 303 Aerospace! I don't have to order any of...

    What's your glass cleaning regimen?

    It seems no matter how much I try I can never get my windows streak free. For instance. I'll be using S.I.G (Invisible Glass) with a lint free MF towel. I'll buff and spray and wipe until my windows are just IMMACULATE looking. But the problem is I'll get glare on my way into work in the...

    REALLY? Why aren't people civilized?

    First up is my passenger side rear door handle. Some inconsiderate SOB decided to mash their door into it. Looks to be down to primer. Next up is the drivers side rear quarter panel. There's some weird zigzag scratch and two chunks of paint taken out of it. That might also be a rust...

    I finally made it! (1,000 posts)

    7 years after joining Autopia I have finally cracked into the quadruple digit post count. To me this is a milestone in patience. I will admit there was a section of time between 2004 and 2007 that I did not visit often and more times than not read more than I contributed. Here's to the...

    Getting tough stains out of microfiber?

    Ive got a stack of microfiber that in spite of washing them they all have dark stains. I think most of these come from rubber seals or a gasket I ran the towel over wiping down the car or windows. While I know these are just stains I can't help but want to relinquish these to duties other...

    Opinions on Viking Microfiber towels?

    I stopped in at O'Rilleys autoparts here in town and stumbled across Viking 12x16 (I think?) microfibers. They also had some 16x16 "Premium" 80/20 microfibers too. In short, they have a 24" pack of the 12x16's for 19.99.. and they seem pretty soft. Though there's no tag on them I can only...

    When boredom sets in...

    I was bored, so I decided to polish the top of my Wine cooler (which isn't for wine anyway, heh), it's all beat up. It was second hand with plenty of RIDS. It's better now, but now but not 100%. I used M105 w/ a Green wool pad Menz IP with Blue Wool Menz FP with Blue Foam. A line of...
