It's Bunky's Birthday! :bday2:

(A) Wisdom of Waterless Introduction I asked in my raft of rinselesses review (http://www.autopiaforums.com/forums/detailing-product-reviews/40323-rinseless-roundup.html) if a similar survey of waterless washes would be welcome. No one said "Yes" but I decided to write one anyway. Please...

In my Dodo Juice Low on EAU quick review (http://www.autopiaforums.com/forums/detailing-product-reviews/40245-quick-review-dodo-juice-low-eau.html), Todd asked about a comprehensive, all rinseless wash product comparison. Well, here is the Rinseless Wash World According to Mike. I have used...

Quick Review: Dodo Juice Low on Eau Introduction: Here in central Texas, it is another one of those difficult times of the year to detail. Not because of the heat (dc - I lived in SD for 6 years, it isn't hot there - at any time! ;) ), but because the trees are shedding. More than 10 seconds...

CG Honeydew Snow Foam (8:1) MTM Next Gen - YouTube Note: Car is OptiCoated & GTechniq Silo Sealed. A pressure washer bigger than my 1600 psi unit could probably get more out of it but I do like it.

Thought this one turned out nice. This 1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 belongs to one of my coworkers. Original single stage red was in generally excellent shape and just needed to be freshened up. Is getting thin in spots so was mainly in paint preservation mode. Paintwork Foamed with 1Z W99 + CW...

It's Troy Scherer's Birthday! :bday3:

Initial Impressions: Gtechniq G1 Clear Vision Smart Glass Introduction: A new product line added to the ACC fold gave me all of the excuse I needed (which, admittedly, isn't much) to buy and try. Thanks again to Corey for providing the format. Product Product Claims: From Autopia Car...

Initial Impressions: Gtechniq T1 Tyre and Trim Introduction: A new product line added to the ACC fold gave me all of the excuse I needed (which, admittedly, isn't much) to buy and try. Thanks again to Corey for providing the format. Product Product Claims: From Autopia Car Care site -...

Initial Impressions: Gtechniq C1.5 Silo Seal Introduction: A new product line added to the ACC fold gave me all of the excuse I needed (which, admittedly, isn't much) to buy and try. Thanks again to Corey for providing the format. Product Product Claims: From Autopia Car Care site -...

... is admitting you have a problem. ;) As I ran out of space in my office storage closet, I decided to take out all of the product and re-organize it. (Was by manufacturer; now will be by purpose. Yes, I already knew I had that problem.) My office quickly ran out of room so I spilled over into...

My detailing buddy has finally decided to sell his beloved Mugellorot 1995 E36 M3 and use the proceeds toward a newer M3 Sedan. It has been pampered for the last 4-5 years and is in excellent shape. Decided to move away from the candied Klasse look and move to a wetter look. Products used: 1Z...

Back in January I'd quipped my Detailer's Prayer ("Grant me the power tools to correct what I can, fillers to cover what I can't and the wisdom to know the difference") but, even though I had a couple of glazes, never really thought I'd go the filler route too often. And, until Saturday, I...

Initial Impressions: Detailer's Pro Quick Detailer Introduction: This is my fourth review of products from the new Detailer's Pro Aerosol series and thought this one would fall into my wheelhouse. I collect (it seems) QDs and use frequently, albeit not for light cleaning. I prefer to use them...

Review: Detailer’s Pro Leather Cleaner & Conditioner Introduction: This is my third review of products from the new Detailer's Pro Aerosol series. The first two (DP Quick Wax & Trim Detailer) were very pleasant experiences. To recap, they are very quick applications, easy to use, great...

Review: Detailer’s Pro Quick Wax Introduction: After the pleasant experience with Blackfire Wet Diamond Spray Wax, the new DP aerosols seemed like a natural. I had really high hopes for DP Quick Wax because the Blackfire was just that good. My neighbor kindly volunteered his 2002 Mini Cooper...

Review: Detailer’s Pro Trim Detailer Introduction: After the pleasant experience with Blackfire Wet Diamond Spray Wax, the new DP aerosols seemed like a natural. Of the new products, this is the one I had the most reservations about. I'd seen other manufacturer's aerosol trim offerings and...

Review: Carrand Brush & Shine Tire Dressing Applicator Introduction: Have never really liked tire dressing. Used to be because they all were too glossy and slung all over the paint. Then I found better dressings but applying was always a pain - particularly with the newer ribbed tires. I've...

Review: Dodo Juice Red Mist Tropical Protection Detailer Introduction: I've mentioned before that I am a quick detailer junkie. While I may not have every QD on the Autopia Car Care site, I have a goodly share. I've also mentioned that I don't use them exactly as straight-up QDs (wiping away...

Initial Impression: Blackfire Midnight Sun Spray Wax Introduction: Having had the good fortune to try a goodly portion of the newly-reformulated Blackfire line-up, trying a new addition - especially after a Super Secret Sale - was a moral imperative. Thanks again to Corey for providing the...
