    One problem lead to another...

    Was working on my old touch by using a little laquer thinner to remove old paint and then to apply new touch up. A little of the thinner ran down my factory paint and has seemed to etch it. This is a black 07 pathfinder. What can I use to remove the thinner on the paint? I've tried...

    I've done some searching on here and looked around the internet. Looking for a pesticide sprayer that is relatively cheap and can either be used with rinseless washes providing a spray down and extra lubrication and/or spraying off soap with a two bucket method. I've seen cheap ones at Home...

    Maybe I'm an idiot...

    First off this is a rant. And a negative one at that. Why is the flex getting so much hype/talk? Yes I know, ITS NEW. I have yet to use one and don't plan on it. I've been using a PC for a few years with great results and plan to add a rotary soon. For the cost of the flex, a newbie...

    Old SFX pads and backing plate

    Does anybody remember what size the backing plate was that came with the SFX pad kit in the past 2-3 years? I know the pads are 6.5 and I have the backing plate still. I just ordered 5.5 CCS pads and not sure if I can use that backing plate, it is pretty much the same size if not a lil bit...

    Hate to rain on your parade..

    I tend to lay low on this great forum and love reading all the great tips and product advice others offer. To get to the point let me discuss my observations of NXT 2.0. While we are all aware of what the original brought to the table for an OTC product, its looks were fantastic but the...

    Getting ready to use new 4 inch pads...

    I have a 2001 Black Trans Am. Gets weekly washing, daily driven, waxing when needing, polishing when needing. All of these boutique products I've been suckered into have been somewhat dissapointing as they may look better and be easier to use BUT durability and looks never seems any better...

    Does NXT car wash soap strip wax?

    I really like this car wash soap as it suds nicely and smells fantastic. Its cleaning ability is top notch too. I would like to know if it is too strong in the way of stripping wax? Should I go back to the red eagle one (I like the nxt better)? I want something that has good cleaning ability...
