    Mr Clean Auto-dry Car Wash: PRO

    http://www.homemadesimple.com/mrcleanautodry/proseries.shtml Looks like it just comes with more stuff (mitt, quick-fitting, carry case) and is a new color... :nixweiss

    Red lovers: which red?

    Which red do you like better? I always liked metallic reds, and my Corvette was a dark metallic red. I was actually looking for a solid bright red but found that car. I think I'll just keep an eye out for both and get one that is in great shape at the right price, etc. But I can't decide...

    Carpets: Brush pattern or natural?

    I was checking out AutoNova's picts of that Intrigue and was thinking about the carpeting. I keep my Aurora nice and clean, but I never pattern the carpets. I have patterned them when I've done my wife's car. I think I do it so she can tell they were cleaned. I can see how this would be...

    Blitz wax vs #16 half and half (~900KB total worth of picts)

    My plan was to wash the Nissan today and throw a coat of #16 on it. That way it would be about as fresh as the coat of Blitz on the Regal. The Nissan is outside at home, garaged at work, while the Regal is garaged at home, outside at work, so seemed fair enough. But then I thought, what the...

    One Grand Blitz Wax

    I got a chance to try this wax out today and thought I'd post my initial opinions about it. The weather was about 34F today, so I pulled the Regal out to wash it. I had just spot clayed, AIO'd and Wolfganged it two weeks ago. The car was surprisingly dirty from the rain during that time...

    Mask off paint to dress trim?

    I decided to dress all the rubber trim on the Aurora today as it needed to be done and it's too cold out to wash anything. I decided to go with #40 (was also considering the Vinylex) on all the weatherstripping, and #38 on the exterior rubber that surrounds the glass and on the plastic cover in...

    Winners Circle Detailing MicroFiber Towels

    Anyone else use these things? I just got an order of blue waffleweaves and the sort of ugly green regular towels. They were so cheap I figured why not? At first impression, they are a lot nicer than I figured they'd be. The waffle weaves are pretty thick, not quite as thick as my Meg's...

    One Grand Blitz Wax question...

    How the heck do you open the tin??? I tried a nickel, two nickels (one on each side) and a screwdriver. All they are doing is chewing up the can and moving the lid about 1/4-1/2 way out. I can't get the freaking thing open!

    What $200 gets you

    Heheh, had a big box awaiting me when I came home today. I'm gonna have to do a lot of family member details to use this stuff up! I'm excited about trying the various things. A few observations: Pinnacle stuff smells so awesome! The V&R stuff is great smelling! And did they change the...

    Klasse AIO by Cyclo

    Anyone do this? Wow, not like I remember with the PC. :eek: It seems that the product dries up or something. I noticed this especially if I made more than 2 passes over the paint. Even with 2 sometimes. You get this white film that is practically impossible to buff off. The white film...

    UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE: Hose bibb doesn't fit!!!

    Man, so I figured this thing would be kinda big. I guess it's my own fault for not thinking it through, but really I didn't know what I'd need to hook onto it to make it work until I saw it. But the overall height of this thing is 5 1/2" according to the website: My ceiling space in...

    Need a new comp...

    My wife, bless her heart, got me Medal of Honor Pacific Assault. She knows how much I like playing Day of Defeat. :) The problem is I have a PIII-600, with a TNT2 Ultra video card (Abit BE-6 motherboard, 512MB of PC-100/133 RAM, currently running a 112MHz FSB as my PC-100 sticks won't take...

    Bored and curious... tried some spit-shine variations

    So I was bored today, and felt like doing something with the cars. Too cold to wash the Regal, plus my wife keeps driving it. So I figured I'll try some section stuff on the Aurora. As a note, it had been Souveran'd about two to three weeks ago, driven only once since then, and Crystal...

    Lake Country 4" VC pads

    Well, I got my orange, white and grey 4" pads in for my Cyclo today. On initial reaction, I'm not as excited as I was before I got them. They seem nicer than the Cyclo ones, but don't seem super nice. They have sharp cut edges instead of being rounded over, the white pads have the "dish"...

    Pinnacle Leather Cleaner/Conditioner

    I tried this product out the other day on the driver's seat of my wife's Regal. I figured this would be a good product for it, being an all-in-one. I first wiped the seat down with a hot, wet terry cloth towel, then I applied the Pinnacle with a terry pad. I expected it to be fairly cleany...

    Hot and cold hose bib

    Man, I'm having a heck of a time finding one that has two inlets and shut-offs. I want to run hot water out front through just one bib. Anyone done this? I checked out Home Depot and Lowes to no avail. I'd rather not have two bibs and some y-pipe... And, any tips on drilling through the...

    Any cordless buffer users? (especialy the Meg's one)

    I'm thinking about getting it as a gift for someone. It's cheaper than a PC, from Meg's it has a 3-year warranty and I'd have a warm-fuzzy from buying theirs knowing if a problem arised, it would be resolved. The things I'm liking are: - price - easier to use since cordless, no cord...

    Paste Glaz discontinued

    On autogeek.net and on pinnaclewax.com, Paste Glaz is listed as discontinued. I've never used it and don't have any light colored cars, but figured someone might be interested. If you love it, better stock up! And if anyone's used it and Liquid Souveran, I'd love to hear differences...

    Tried my AutoGlym, and some other ramblings

    The FedEx guy brought me my autopia store shipment as I was in the middle of washing the Nissan. What perfect timing. So I was eager to try them out. The Nissan had been polished out a few months ago and clayed. The paint is still pretty smooth and looks good. The clear on this car is shot...

    Buying used cars... bleah...

    Every time I look at used cars it makes me think I could only be happy buying a cheapie beater to bomb around in. Spending real money on a used car just means I'll be annoyed or concerned about the way the previous owner cared for the car. I like to keep things in mint condition as much as...
