I think accumulator complains that his washes take him hours. It takes me a minute.... Got a deal on a JVC camera from woot, it happens to take time lapse video. Here 1 second = 1 minute.

If you tinker with your car and you don't have an OBDII scan tool, now is your chance to own a decent one for about twenty bucks. Amazon.com: Autel MaxiScan MS300 CAN OBD-II Scan Tool: Automotive I have had one of these for over a year and its a great unit to keep in the car or in your...

So everyone's favorite place to shop, Walmart, has a nice deal on ketchup style dispenser bottles. What I really like is the cap is attached to the lid. I always seem to lose my Meguiars caps. They are also nice and flexible and survive drops, even in the cold without cracking. Find them in...

Not sure who it was, perhaps Barry, that mentioned you only really need six products for detailing. Assuming chemicals not media, what are your six? Me: ONR Megs APC+ Clay Magic 303 UNO ZAIO

I can't say I'm surprised at the number of threads here and on other forums expressing interest in starting a detailing business. What does have me shocked is the questions being asked. A lot of folks seem to have some very beginner questions. I have to say I'm surprised someone would get...

A friend gave me his syringe of Opticoat. I love the promise, but the more I think of it, the less sure it offers any protection advantages over sacrificial products. :think: The biggest thing that worries me is Opticoat doesn't claim to offer UVA/UVB protection. What am I getting for my...

What are places every autopian should visit? Exotic collections of products? Crazy variety? Time capsule? Post up some places that you could spend hours in. Someone pointed out Frank's Auto Supermarket to me in Greensburg, PA. I was blown away at the amount of detaling products they had...

Executive Summary: Crap and Crap. Nice Sprayers though! About a year ago I ordered the Croftgate Sampler Pack. I've tried the products a few times, enough to know that I hate them! I ended up pouring them out and using the bottles for ONR! Waterless Car Wash Procedure System, Car Wash...

So I was bored and reading some reviews, this one made me laugh... This review is from: Mothers 20016 FX SynWax - 16 oz (Misc.) I have a detail shop that puts out about 400-500 vehicles a month.And we have been in business for 8 years now. So you can say that i have seen or used just about...

I've been on a sealant binge for a few years now. The last time I really used a Carnauba was in 09, and that was CG50/50. It really has been a long time. I always forget how great a car looks with a pure carnauba wax. I just did my VW, 1/2 with Pinnacle Souveran, 1/2 with Natty's Blue. I...

I'd love to find some sort of cordless vacuum for quick clean ups. Its takes more time to get the extension cord out than it does to do the actually vacuuming. My previous ones have been crappy dustbusters with 3 minute run times. Glancing at Amazon, I don't see anything that can break the...

If somehow you couldn't buy anymore products, how long would it take before you run out of: Car Wash QD Tire Dressing Interior Dressing Polishes LSP

Does anyone know of a good AIO that is Carnauba based, has good cleaners and will not stain trim? The only one I can seem to find is Poorboys.

Anyone else notice that a few members are using the forum as their personal blog? Call me all sorts of traditional, but a forum is a tool for discussion. I won't call anyone out, but it seems a few people are just posting something from a soapbox and then not even responding to comments. I'm...

Looking for a top quality tinter. No overly concerned about price but I need perfection.

I've tried using FK425 for over a year now, I just don't get it. Everyone raves about how fantastic of a QD it is. I just don't see it. --Slickness - Yeah, its slick, but Optimum is slicker --Cleaning Ability - I feel its mid pack, if I need a better cleaner, ONR is it --Looks - This is...

As popular as ONR is, I'd like to hear what unconventional things you might use ONR for. Personally I find its a great window cleaner. I use my used/wet drying towel to wipe down interior windows. I've even washed my house windows with it. My exterior windows hadn't been washed in... gasp...

So I've always wanted to take a Cayman S out for a spin. They have dropped to some pretty affordable levels now and I noticed my local Jag dealership had one. From the posted carfax I noticed it had been involved in a front end collision, but of course, no details as to the damage. I setup...

Well, I never thought I'd be posting up a totaled car thread, but it happened to me. I was going home, normal traffic. Slowing down at a very leisurely pace when I noticed an SUV barreling towards me. I watched the whole thing happen. I'm fine, stiff and sore but sad that a car I put so much...
