    A Note To the Members of our Armed Forces.

    This is something I’ve read many times and sincerely believe to be true. “You don’t really know what freedom is until you’ve fought for it”. The best I can do is say thanks to all the members of our Armed Forces both current and past. I’m sure I speak for others too when I say that I...

    Wheeled Detailing stool

    I can`t kneel well so I use stools all the time. I`ve got a couple of Snap-On seated stools (everyone else makes a similar version of this i.e. Whiteside, Craftsman). They work great, the wheels are replaceable and fairly easy to get and I actually like the back support and the adjustable...

    Happy Birthday to the Original Wax Waster

    He may not want me to type this but he didn`t specifically tell me not to say anything. He`s in the hospital for some tests as I type this. He can`t go anywhere right now. That`s a lot of stress with the storm bearing down. Not a great way to spend a Birthday or any day for that matter. As I...

    Happy Birthday Ron! Ron is both facing the weather and a bit under the weather. Wish him well and say a prayer for him and his family. :bday:

    What did you do detailing wise today?

    Use a Pickle Fork. I wouldn`t be surprised if AutoZone had one they`d let you borrow under their purchase and return at full value program. Even better get a pnuematic one if you have air available. Just re-read this, are you having trouble with the threaded end? Leave the ball and socket...

    Post Your Unboxing Pictures!

    Not detailing related but I got a front set of Bilstein Coil Over`s and rear shocks for truck. Ron is going to put them on tomorrow. ;)

    Post your Fathers Day Haul

    My family is very good to me. Father`s Day gift is scheduled to arrive on Friday. I ordered these from AutoGeek as Autopia Car-Care doesn`t list this model in their Race Ramps line up. ACC lists everything but the Magna model which is the one I ordered. They are rated at 5000 lbs. for the pair...

    Detailing (Not the Car)

    Thought this might be of some interest. My home has a good percentage of the floor footage covered in black tile (2 kitchens, 4 baths). It has a grout that is gray and adds a nice contrast to the black tile. This gray grout over time was looking a little grungy. It was starting to blend with the...

    Ready for the range

    I suspect you already know this but Glock isn`t known for exceptional trigger feel. Can`t depend on a consistant break and you can barely, if at all feel the reset. Aftermarket manufacturers make theirs out of metal, as opposed to composite material (plastic/nylon) and can machine the metal to...

    Lets talk about shaving

    This has been my go to razor for a long time now. If I`m not using a cut throat razor this is what I use. It is a Merkur Progress that is modified to get rid of the plastic handle, eliminating the chintzy feeling and make it a bit longer. I like having something to hold on to and don`t care for...

    Moving Slowly

    I`ve been moving pretty slowly the past couple of months since I lost Pops. I had been putting off a procedure that I`ve known about but didn`t dare do while taking care of him. Well I finally got around to it and had a shoulder replaced on Tuesday. I`ve been through this before and it`s no...

    Angels Do Exist!

    I had a package show up today via UPS. I got a notice about a week ago telling me a package was coming. I had some Poorboy`s Strawberry Fragrance on backorder and so I assumed it was on the way. Boy was I surprised when I opened the package. An Autopian Angel sent this to me without notice...

    The Forum Family

    If you`ve been on Autopia for any length of time, you probably have the same feeling that I have. You get to know members here even though you`ve never met them, it`s a family of sorts. That said, I`ll share this, I lost my Pop on Sunday. I`ve had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with him...

    Polish Angel Carnauba Arts Gold Zircon (First Time)

    This is my first experience with this product. The spray nozzle on the wax worked much better than the spritz. I used Polish Angel`s Viking Spritz yesterday and gave it 24 hours to cure. I topped it with this spray carnauba today. Now my photos are nothing to write home about. Ron and I exchange...
