    Removing OLD clearbra!

    Oh, you are here in NJ. I wish with this new software that member info still appeared without you having to hover over the avatar. I presume one of the local places is Detailer's Domain. I did find a thread that quoted something from Xpel about 170 F being the ideal temperature for removing...

    Removing OLD clearbra!

    I want to say there have been some good threads on PPF removal here or at AGO, but it's going to take some searching.

    Question on ceramic adherance on new car w/ Simoniz on it

    I think Dawn is a lot milder than Reset. With all due respect to Sizzle, I don't think Dawn will damage anything on your car, but as Sizzle noted, there are a lot better prep washes than Dawn. IMO the reputation that Dawn has for ability to strip waxes and sealants relies not on its ability to...

    Hooking up Filter for pressure washer? Plumbing question...

    Sorry, I messed up that link above; I fixed it now. EDIT: or they have them at Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-4-in-MHT-x-3-4-MIP-or-1-2-in-FIP-Brass-Multi-Adapter-Fitting-801709/300095988

    Hooking up Filter for pressure washer? Plumbing question...

    You didn't say where the leak is, I presume it's at the pipe thread. Presuming those are pipe adapters, it looks like you have the wrong size on the pipe end, 1/2" and 3/4" have the same number of threads-per-inch, so if the filter is 3/4 and the fittings are 1/2, they I guess will screw in...

    Paint Chip Repair Help

    Well, I'll give you my opinion, since I too am never really satisfied with my paint-chip touchup. Griot's used to sell some little...microfiber?...paint applicators. It turns out that these are some sort of fake eyelash tools, that you can get from Amazon for a lot cheaper (...

    Paint Chip Repair Help

    Did you have the windshield replaced at some point? That doesn't really look like stone chips, it looks like it happened when someone pulled the trim/gasket. That's in a bad place for rusting, because the water may pool up there against the trim--and even worse if the chips extend under the trim.

    Technician`s Choice Tech582

    Well, OK then! I like little cars, but I must have missed when you "accumulated" that one; between the XJ-S and 9C1's and Crown Vics and Audis and SUV's.

    Confessions of an Old Forum Member by Captain Obvious

    An old boss of mine introduced me to that thought when I was a young man, with slightly different phrasing (his was "The only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked"). I'm not a "people-person", so I have spent my life trying to figure out people. I have had the misfortune of...

    Confessions of an Old Forum Member by Captain Obvious

    I was just having this discussion with someone over at AGO. How 20-25 years ago there were a lot of college kids on these forums...and there still are (the ones that are left)...except they are in their 40's now. There's a reason these forums (seemingly any forums) are full of...

    2025 Ford Ranger Raptor

    I know that's what they say, but I thought we were down from 6 mils in the old days to 4...not to 2!

    2025 Ford Ranger Raptor

    So how thick do you think the clear was?? I mean e-coat, primer, color...the clear had to be less than .001, maybe way less.

    There's a guy on AGO who swears by the TEC582 and also buys it by the gallon. The other one getting a lot of buzz is the Feynlab Hybrid Ceramic Detailer.

    Looking For Classy/Reputable Detailer In NoVA Out 66 West in Front Royal/Shenandoah Valley

    Here's a recent thread about a shop in Chantilly, he didn't tell us how he actually got in touch with the guy. He (DJ Mayo) is one of the principals in Armour Detail Supply, so you can probably get in touch with him that way...

    Duragloss is no more on Amazon or Advance Auto?

    It's just that now that you've brought it up I remember the rinseless gallon being about $35-40 at the DG site...so if it's now $67 it feels to me like that's going to be the Amazon price as well. I always liked the DG rinseless, except for the pink floaties, it's just I had so many other...

    Duragloss is no more on Amazon or Advance Auto?

    Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't get that they had jacked the price way up on their rinseless. I see Autogeek has the Wolfgang Uber for $50 and free shipping at $75, and IIRC the dilution is better on that. It seems to me the Uber is similar product to the DG rinseless, but it's been a long time since...
