My dad suggested that we get me some new shoes in time for Christmas. I had a better idea... :D I cleaned everything but the shoelaces. The rest of the shoes were about the same color as the laces. 1Z Tiefenpfleger on the rubber. 1Z Lederpflege on the leather. So now I have "new"...

I washed my car in the garage with NXT soap and warm water yesterday. I do want to get some QEW but I'm worried about it freezing on the way here and affecting the product. Anyway, I didn't bother washing the rocker panels because they were just too dirty and I knew they would just get dirty...

I took the dog outside for a few minutes today and I noticed my car sitting there begging for pictures. :D So I went in and grabbed the camera: Please excuse the dirty wheels/tires. My fingers/toes were frozen after washing the car in the garage so I skipped the wheels. :p

I washed my car last winter when it was WELL below freezing with ordinary car soap and warm water, with a method nearly identical to the QEW method. Does QEW + QD lower the freezing point of the wash solution so that you can wash during colder temperatures without having to worry about the...

Here's the process I'm doing in the spring for interior details. Everything is the same as I was doing this year except the Gummifledge. Is there anything you think I should add to the list? 1. Clean Glass with Sonus Vision. 2. Vacuum. 3. Clean fabric/upholstery with LGCMâ€Â¦apply...

I always have trouble with my power antenna in the winter. Either it won't go down all the way or it won't extend all the way. Has anyone figured out a way to keep the power antenna working properly during below-freezing times? I just looked at my antenna (which is currently about extended...

I was mentioning how cold it's getting here overnight (-1F on Sunday night :eek: ) and Beercan31 brought up the idea of getting an engine block heater. Can anyone tell me a few things about them? I have a few questions in particular: 1. How much do they cost? 2. Are they universal? If they...

Here it is...the magic of P21S: After: I wanted to enter this car in the extreme detail contest but I didn't get very good after pics (too dark outside). :(

My friend's cousin asked me to detail (exterior only) her 98 gold Infiniti I30 tomorrow. Apparently she had some varnish or varnish cleaner drip on her car from the garage ceiling or roof. :nixweiss So she's got this sticky crap on her trunk. It's transparent but you can see that there is...

This thread is mostly for reference purposes. When somebody asks about orange peel, they can be referenced to this thread to see what it looks like. This will also come up in searches. Notice the wavy reflection of the house in the reflection. The waves are caused by an uneven...

I am really loving this combo. Tomorrow I'm throwing on a coat of Paste Glaz on top to see how it looks on top of UPPx2, and hopefully the slickness will not be affected like it was last time when I put #16 on top. Talk about a liquid hood! ^^^ ^^^We got a little...

When polishing swirls out with, for example, 3M PI III MG or SFX1, what speed should the PC be set at? Should I increase/decrease pressure/speed during the process? Is there a translation from PC speed to RPMs?

I'm probably going to order this...is it the right one? I know there are a couple different models of the LGCM.

I was using UPP in a closed one-car garage yesterday, and the smell became overpowering by the time I was finished with my car. What do you guys think are the best and worst smelling products?

That's my cousin holding one of the 5 salmon we caught. Face removed... So anyway, how do I get fish semen out of my trunk liner? Yeah you heard right. My cousin held the fish too close to my open trunk. The fish spewed all over the bumper and trunk interior. I took care of the bumper right...

Now I just wipe it off with a damp terry cloth every time I wash the car and it looks like new again after 30 seconds. It still beads too, so I guess the EX-P is still there. EX-P didn't bead when I had it on my paint though :nixweiss

The 4* U.G.E. really appears to have darkened my paint. The first picture was after I washed/dried it. The second is about 45 minutes later after eating lunch and QDing the car. The third is also after QDing. I love the liquid hood look! :D BTW, this is the first time I've used a QD and not...

I'm thinking about getting the chrome rims in my avatar pic. I'm just looking for opinions on which set of rims to get. The rims in the pic are 2001 Maxima SE 5 spoke 16s. They are also available (much more common) in silver. Which do you like better? Here's a pic of my car and the two...

Ford sent out these cards offering $50 for anyone that test drives a new Ford vehicle. My dad and I are going to the local dealership in a little while to drive something and get our $50. What should we drive? I told him to drive the new Stang but I thought the Five-Hundred might be a nice...

I was removing swirls on my mom's car with a light-cut (orange) pad on speed 6 with 3M MG and it took me about 30 minutes just to do the hood. I was moving very slow with the PC, to the point where you could hardly tell the machine was moving. I would like to be able to remove the swirls...
