    3M Perfect-It III 05933 & 05937--Worth Keeping?

    Well, ok then. Maybe I can get myself to throw out my bottle of Menz PG.

    3M Perfect-It III 05933 & 05937--Worth Keeping?

    I bought a quart of 3m Perfect-It III Rubbing Compound (05933) and Machine Glaze (05937)...er...20 years ago, when they were being discontinued, because a lot of people here on the forum really liked them. I don't think I ever used either of them. In the interest of clearing up some shelf...

    Are you getting used to this new format/software in this forum?

    Back in VBulletin, you could toggle to the BB code so you could insert commands like bold, quote, etc. I guess it's the HTML format, maybe that's not right. If you go up to the ribbon menu line, it's the brackets next to the floppy disk "save" icon.

    Crunchy Backing on Carpet Mats

    I found some things online that recommend soaking hard rubber parts in a mixture of IPA and methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil). Since I can't really soak a floor mat, and if I did the carpet would probably smell like wintergreen forever (not to mention the methyl salicylate is highly toxic), I...

    Best MF Towel for Household Dusting?

    Wow, that's a lot, 6oz/gallon...of course that is what OPT recommends for glass cleaning, interior cleaning, floor cleaning, etc. I had started at the regular RW dilution (.5oz/gal) but I've bumped that up to 1oz/gal. I've also been using that in my Bissell hard floor scrubber.

    Artificial Intelligence and Detailing Information "Plagiarism"

    Well, to tie together the action/sci-fi movie and AI comments, I got in a YouTube rabbit hole the other day and there was some talk of a sequel to Edge of Tomorrow. So today I google it and the AI tells me Edge of Tomorrow 2 will be coming out this year, and links to a teaser trailer on...

    Are you getting used to this new format/software in this forum?

    The lack of the multi-quote button tripped me up for a while as well, it also took me a while to figure out how to get to the BB code to make it easier to edit quotes. I think I still like the old VBulletin better for that, but this seems to work fine, and it's surely better than the...

    Which AIO?

    I never had Z-1 (ZFX was already out by the time I succumbed to the Zaino curiosity, although Z-1 was still available then, until Z-AIO came out), but I do have a bottle of DG 601...however, you're not going to dare me into smelling it! I'm trying to remember if I ever used it, most of my...

    Which AIO?

    Thanks, Gents. It's funny, the genesis of this was, after trying not to buy any products for a long time, I fell off the wagon during the Black Friday sales, so I was going through some of my old stuff to see what I could get rid of. I found my bottle of Optimum GPS had gone bad (which is OK...

    Crunchy Backing on Carpet Mats

    In my lazy old age, I have wound up with all-season (hard rubber) mats in all my cars. I was looking for something in my basement and pulled up on the edge of a factory carpet mat from one of my cars and heard a crack--these mats are over 20 years old and the rubber backing is hard and actually...

    Are you getting used to this new format/software in this forum?

    I think it's pretty good, the part about the old links not working is unfortunate, but I'm pretty sure that has happened with previous software changes, also. As far as the acronyms, are we still using them? I guess we are, it seems less important than it was because, do we really get any new...

    Griot's Motors?

    So that confirms what Nate was saying about another son. I don't think it's that much of a mystery, I think Richard made some money, got into collecting/restoring cars, and found a way to write it off as a business expense (by using the cars for catalog photos), and after he had built up some...

    Best MF Towel for Household Dusting?

    I keep a bottle at 1:128 (twice the concentration for rinseless washing) for general wipedown chores around the house, and yes, I started doing that to use up old versions of ONR, because they were coming out with new versions faster than I was using them up, and of course started trying all...

    Griot's Motors?

    I'm not sure how I got to watching a video about a Diesel Rabbit that Richard Griot had restored, they may have linked it from the Griot's Garage site, but I later realized it was not a Griot's Garage video, it was from "Everyday Driver", who said they were at "Griot's Motors", and I said...

    That Spic n Span microfiber seems to be defunct.

    Best MF Towel for Household Dusting?

    I know a lot of you extend your detailing inclinations (and products) to household cleaning. I have some cheap microfiber towels that I got at Walmart or Target or Home Depot that I use for dusting (usually dampened with some ONR these days). I don't want to suggest that I might not dust often...

    Which AIO?

    Thinking about updating my arsenal, which AIO? Thinking about one of the following: 3D Speed Menzerna 3 in 1 Jescar All-In-One I still have a bad taste in my mouth about 3D from where they took this forum for a while, and the Menz and the Jescar may be the same product, so I'm open to other...

    Optimum Hyper All-In-One (Sprayable)

    Has anyone used this new product, Optimum Hyper All-In-One sprayable AIO with ceramic? It's the replacement for GPS (sprayable Glaze, Polish, Seal), which I always hated anyway. I found one review on YouTube from a detailer who routinely uses Hyper Polish and Hyper Compound, who said that he...
