And they still do.

I used to wash in the rain a long time ago, and I guess I just forgot about it. I did it again today and remembered so many reasons I really like it. Number one is no water spots or worries about soap drying. You also get a spot free rinse. I can wash the entire car and rinse at the very...

Always looking to up my AIO game. Current products last 2-4 months outdoors 24*7. Are there any Ceramic AIOs that are worth checking out? The TW and Griots products have my attention. Anything else out there?

I just moved mine this summer. Called a tow truck and got it moved for $250.

Its funny to get spun up by the weather guy, but the numbers don`t lie... I was looking at the historical data at NWS... wow have there been some cold days in the DC area in the mid 80s. Climate (change for your location, then look at the temperatures graph)

How are you guys dealing with moisture in your garage? I bought a new to me house and the previous owners were pretty oblivious to a mold problem in the garage. There were a few really nasty spots. I did cast some judgement on them for that but in a twist of irony while cleaning out my old...

After a few rounds with various coatings I think I’m back to my old routine of clay and AIO every nine to 12 or so months. One product I’ve really enjoyed is Optiseal. If it lasted six months outdoors it would be perfect actually, I get about two months before performance decreases with...

I`m getting more pragmatic or lazy as time goes on. I picked up an old can of No Touch I had sitting around and used it. I was quickly reminded why I liked foam back in the olden days. Its so easy to apply and it gets the tires nice and clean. It wears well and no brown stuff after it wears...

I guess mustache wax is in and car wax is out... https://m.startribune.com/interest-in-car-waxing-is-waning/571045702/

Hey guys, looking for a garden hose for filling the buckets and other uses. Still using a pressure washer for the car itself. I hate dealing with a regular hose, they are heavy and a PITA to wind/store. I had a coiled hose that was ok, lasted about 4-5 years which was longer than I expected...

I can`t see using anything other than one of the handheld pump sprayers for a rinseless wash. Just too much spraying for a regular spray bottle.

So my wife`s car got hit with the sprinklers and had some solid water spots that weren`t budging even with my goto QD. I did an A-B-C wash using the Finish Kare system, worked great, all the spots just melted away... but the paint needed some protection. I started thinking about doing some SNS...

With less and less time on my hands, I wanted to find a vacuum I could use while being away from home, for times when I`m waiting in the car for someone else. Instead of surfing the forums, I can do a bit of cleanup. I wanted something cheap enough and small enough to leave in a car. It...

I, like many fellow autopians, probably hate when anyone touches your car. I found this article interesting because the courts found touching the car to mark the tires was in fact illegal. https://techcrunch.com/2019/04/24/chalking-unconstitutional/

Is there such a thing as Quick Detailer for shoes? I`d like to quickly shine up my dress shoes without a lot of fuss, maybe spray something like a QD on a MF and quickly wipe down a shoe. Does such a product exist?

Wonder how different it is from Cling.

Turtle Wax Max Power might be an option for some, its under $5 for a nice sized bottle at Walmart. Its a high PH cleaner that comes in a very thin liquid that is sprayable even at full concentration.

What is your favorite OTC spray wax/sealant? I`m finding it hard to believe nothing is able to top DG Aquawax for me. This is a product that made its way to the market around 2006. For me it lasts longer than anything else in the segment, doesn`t attract dust/dirt, and looks really good...

I`ve had my fair share of touchup repair. I can get things pretty good with the help of Langka and patience, but I`ve been car shopping for the past couple of months and keep seeing touchup repairs that blow mine away. What has me super curious is how a few of them have zero lines or edges...

How do you guys deal with rust on painted lug nuts? I`ve got some that are silver (maybe zinc) and starting to rust a bit. I was thinking about buying some of that zinc rustoleum paint but it seems to be a duller gray, ideally I`d like to find some more glossy silver spray with zinc.
