    SPS Graphene Coating

    Got a chance to try the recently released SPS Graphene Coating. Can’t really speak to the science behind it (well, aside from it contains graphene) but you can contact SPS (Surface Protective Solutions) directly at SPS - Surface Protective Solutions - SPS Home if you desire more information...

    Poorboys Strip Down

    Had heard a review a while back that mentioned it comppromised a coating during a test. Since starting to get car ready for re-do, figrd I`d give it a go just for fun. Have tried the McKees Coating Prep wash previously and it really didnt have any effect on coating or anything substantial I...

    Watching a coating fade away...

    At about 21 months & 40K hard, daily driver miles it looks like the Kamikaze Miyabi x 2, ISM x 1 is about done. Applied July 2017. While the car got the Gyeon Tar, Gyeon Iron Spring cleanup, it appears as if life is nearly over for this combo. Things I`ve noticed recently: 1. The coating...

    Cars & Coffee Eye Candy

    Cars & Coffee Eye Candy Columbus, OH today. Drive down was a bit, uh...crowded on the freeway. Chilly for a bit but sunny. Free coffee and pastries helped. And this is something different:

    2020 C8 Corvette

    Don`t forget the Jort`s...essential item if you gonna be truly living that `Corvette Lifestyle (tm)`. Can`t be showing up at the weekly Hooter`s gathering without proper uniform.

    Has something happened to Polish Angel?

    Nah, Polish Angel US has been `less than reliable` as of late. Edit: Funny...about 1 minute after posting, this shows up in my e-mail Inbox

    Seemed like a good idea...

    Get out of Corporate America, I thought. Trade your cubicle for a van so you can drive around in the summer sunshine, fixing pool equipment and cleaning pools at some very nice homes. Shorts, flip-flops and sunglasses are the attire of the season. Somehow, unloading a truckload of pool heaters...

    Kamikaze Zipang

    Finally got around to giving this a go on (yes, another) 2019 Ford Race Red Transit Connect van...at least this one was a bit smaller than the regular Transits we get. While I woulda loved to do the `ultimate` application of Zipang + Miyabi + Zipang, even my fiscal alarm went off at the prospect...

    Selling car to out of state buyer...

    Any tips, things to watch out for? Guy from Texas interested in wife`s 2004 Corvette. Corvette Forum member since 2001, plenty of posts so I`m assuming he`s legit. Best payment methods? Cashiers check, bank transfer, ??? Woulda been easier to just trade in methinks but sale price to private...

    BOSS 21 Just Gave up the ghost; brushes perhaps?

    Was working a hood, all is well. Turned off unit and set down to remove polish residue, picked up unit about 15 minutes later and...nothing. No odd noises, no `kinda start` just dead. Did all the normal checks like power outlet and such but no joy. Do brushes give out like that ir is it back to...

    Review: BigBoi Mini Air Blower

    To keep things `above board` and in the interest of full disclosure, I didnt purchase this item (nor did I get to keep it afterwards). One day a big Esoteric box showed up at work, followed by a call from them saying "Hi, we`re going to be releasing something I think you`d like; give it a try...

    Feynlab Ceramic Spray Sealant

    Kinda bought on a whim a few weeks ago ($32.95)...Feynlab has always been solid stuff and I`ve kinda taken a liking to their Panel Wipe as well. Anyway, it`s a very pleasant product to use. Seems to go on a bit `substantial-er` than some other products in this class and does indeed haze a bit as...

    Bummer...

    My apologies to the country, will not be able to recalibrate the Scales of Justice this week. Called to confirm Federal District Ct. jury duty tonite and the recorded (and not altogether pleasant) voice told me to take the week off. They must have something big next week they wanna save me and...
