I just did my entire car over once with SSR1, and a green Propel (I am pretty sure) pad. I tossed everything in the wash as usual, but that is the only thing that didn't come out clean. There is still a lot of product left in the pad, and I've resorted to sqeezing it out by hand, it still has...

I am going to get my windows tinted soon, probably 35%, enought o help, but not so dark that it attracts too much attention as tint is illegal in RI. I was wondering if there was anyone else here in RI or southeastern MA that has gotten their windows tinted, and how they feel about it. The...

It's a 1997 Acura 2.5 TL (Honda if you aren't framiliar). I just can't seem to get a swirl free finish with the PC. I've got Lake Coutny (I believe, not sure off the top of my head) pads. Black, blue, green, yellow, orange. I decided to give the SSR that I just got a try today, since I...

Before: After: I'm sort of unsure about which I like better. The clears give it a nice look, more luxury in my oppinion, how everything matches (sort of). The tinted amber signals seem to give it a more aggressive look. What do you guys think?

I read most of this book over the winter and was glad that I did. It doesn't focus directly on detailing, but does focus on car dealerships, running a business, and customer interaction. It is Scottwax's book I believe, sent to me by scottabir, and now it is available for whoever would like...

Well, here is the situation. My mom wants to get into something new because she doesn't feel she can see well enough out of her car. We can either get rid of her car and she will get something new, or get rid of my car, I'll take hers, and she will still get something new. I have driven her...

I was just reading a thread in ramblings about someone who was in the middle of paying off their credit card debt on six cards . I was thinking, that I Should get myself a card so that I can start building my credit for later on in life. I'm 18, and a senior in high school. I've got a steady...

Yesterday I noticed that the pinstriping on my car was starting to peel a bit more than before, and since I never really liked the gold anyways, I figured I would take it all off. The first door went fine. Then I found out that half of it had paint under it, while 1/4 of it had primer under...

:eek: I saw this posted over at Acurazine and was amazed. Lexol Leather Conditioner (3 Liters) for $15. http://www.countrysupply.com/products/product.aspx?sku=BPL05 Same with the Cleaner. http://www.countrysupply.com/products/sku-BPL06.html And they have a dressing I have never...

Grr, I had surgery on my ear this morning (tympanoplasty, they pathced a hole in my eardrum) and have slept most of the day. Bed around 10:30 last night, up at 6, into the OR at 8:30, came to around noon, home around 1 I think, and have more or less slept all day, mostly from the drugs though...

Well, it had been too long and so I got out and washed the car Tuesday afternoon. That and a coat of #26. Tires are dressed with this really weird 1Z dressing, but I love the look of it. Befores: Afters: They aren't the best pictures, but ya'll get the...

My mom was talking to someone she works with and my detailing came up. The lady owns a Jeep GC Limited. I don't know the year, but I think it is relatively new (less than 5 years?). I took a look at it and was suprised to find minimal swirling and everything looked to be in pretty good...

Well, I started on my friends '89 Maxima the other day, after a wash I started on the outside while he did his thing inside. I was putting some Klasse AIO on it, and put the bottle on the trunk for a minute because I didn't want to accidently kick it. In the end, the bottle got knocked off. I...

I'm looking into buying a PDA and so far buy.com has had the best price that I can find for it. I was wondering though, if anyone had a promotion/coupon code to save some extra money?

Well, the snow has just begun, and once I get home from work I was planning on organizing/cleaning my detailing stuff. I was going to clean all my microfibers, probably by hand since I only have about a dozen (not enough, I know) and was planning on some warm water and just aggitate the hell...

Well, I've had my PC and pads for a few days now, thanks for those in the Machine Polishing section pointing me in the right direction, I'm very happy with everything so far. It took a while to get the hang of it enough to get some swirls out, but I think I am catching on fast. 1Z Extra...

I just got my PC today with the 6" CW/backing pad and took the original 5" weight off. I went to put the 6" on, and noticed there is a little rubber nub on the PC itself. The 5" has a spot cut out for this nub to fit in, the 6" one doesn't. Am I supposed to just put the 6" one on over it...

Well, I have been running into a problem lately, it doesn't really hurt my detailing ability, but is an annoyance to me. I'm 6'2" and have some pretty big hands, with long fingers. Stretched out, it covers up a regular sized sheet of paper quite well (but is still a bit smaller). I was...

It is a 1997 Acura 2.5TL, dark green. I was wondering if anyone has any preferances on products for this color. It seems like everyone has a strong feeling about products for white/red/black, but what about mine? I'd like stuff that is friendly to hand applicators (no PC) and isn't too...
