When I drift with a FWD, I pull the Ebrake to get the rear to swing out, but is that bad to do when the car has 4-wheel ABS? I would think that the computer would be confused as to why the rear wheels aren't spinning when the fronts are. Would the computer keep pumping the brakes or something in...

I have an orange Variable-Contact light-cut pad, but I think I would prefer a flat pad, where the entire pad is always contacting the surface. Do you prefer a flat pad or concave (VC) pad? Where can I get a flat cutting pad? Is the Meg's 7006 cutting pad flat?

Both wheels are 16x6.5...first is for a 97-99 Maxima SE, second is from the 2000+ Maxima. #2 is also seen in my avatar. Both wheels would cost about the same amount. So which one would you buy?

After seeing Sean's thread with the 2001 Accord that had SS white paint, I'm curious as to how many recent cars still have SS paint. If you know of any recent models (let's say after 1990) with SS paint, please list them. Why is it that manufacturers continue to use SS paint when BC/CC...

Yeah it's been really cold outside lately. :p The sink was scrubbed with bathroom cleaner, then rinsed, then cleaned with AIO. On the right half I applied UPP with a foam applicator, and the left half got #16 by a foam applicator. I let both dry for 15 minutes, and wiped them off with a...

I've seen some members post about waxing their lawnmowers and snowblowers. There must be other strange things that people have used their detailing products on. Myself...I've detailed my kayak...(GEPC + UPP) ...and my shoes... (1Z Lederpflege + Tiefenfleger) What other weird...

I was trying to clean my floormats with my sample of Meg's APC (Thanks to Airborne Ranger :xyxthumbs ) and my LGCM starting leaking. The collection tank barely had enough liquid in it to cover the bottom, but there was a lot of foam in the tank. So I dumped out the collection tank...

I can't recall seeing a picture of 303 on a tire...at least in a closeup shot. I'd really like to see a pic since many people seem to love the dark matte finish that it produces.

So far, I have clayed every car that I've detailed. I did notice though, that when I polished a small part of my dad's van with PI III MG and then AIO, it was very smooth afterward, even though it had never been clayed and was very rough beforehand. So do you ask your customers if they want the...

I bought a CD off Ebay, and it skips once in a while. Is there a way to fix the CD so it won't skip?

I woke up this morning knowing that there would be a lot of snow outside. (That's why I put my car cover on last night). I walked downstairs and looked out the window to the driveway, and noticed that there was a lot of snow on MOST of the car. Strangely, there was an area about the width of...

I got a few pics of the Max, but I still feel that the pictures do NOT do it justice. I will take many more pictures over the next few days to see if I can get some better ones. Maybe I'll even add another coat of PG! :D I also worked on polishing my engine bay. A couple pics are included...

I currently use Quaker State Peak Performance 10W-30 in the summer and 5W-30 in the winter. I went out and looked for a lighter weight oil, and bought a 5qt jug of Castrol GTX 5W-20. I thought about changing to synthetic, but I already have almost 160,000 miles on my Max. Is there a problem...

According to the pictures of TW85 HHI's Solara, YES. Yes it CAN get better....after I apply Paste Glaz over the UPP. Until then, here's a few teaser shots with AIO + UPPx3: I hope to add Paste Glaz to the equation this week, but we'll have to see if the weather cooperates with...

It was almost 50 degrees here today and sunny, so I had the urge to detail. In addition to washing the car, I pulled the kayak out of the shed: This is with GEPC and UPP. I think more polishing is needed in the spring. But it looks pretty good right now.

A 6 MILLION candlepower spotlight! My brother gave it to me for Christmas (today :rolleyes: ). It even comes with a shoulder strap cuz it's so huge! LOL I put it next to the 5qt bucket to show how huge the lens is.

I was thinking about getting a digital compass like the one in the link below for long trips, or when I'm driving to/around an unfamiliar area. Does anyone have one of these...this model or otherwise...

I'm getting new wheels in the spring and putting Ultra High-Performance Summer-Only tires on them...size 225/55/16. My current wheels will be used for snow tires. My criteria? 1. I like a somewhat aggressive tread pattern 2. Z speed rating is nice 3. Price = preferably under $100...

My mom made the mistake of leaving a can of root beer (unopened) in her Concorde overnight when the temperature dropped to the low teens F. So the can ruptured on top and root beer sprayed all over the headliner and seat. What should I use to get the stains out? Can I use the LGCM and Woolite...

We are planning a meet somewhere in southern WI or northern Illinois in the spring. Here is the list of locations of members that are interested. If you are interested in the meet, please chime in to the thread and state your location so that we can choose a location that is a good...
