I prefer not to say bad things about products, I like to find and post details about good products that we Autopians can use and get great results, unfortunately P&S Brake Buster is not one of them. I read some good reviews over on “the Dark Side” about Brake Buster and at $7.99 a bottle and it...

For anyone looking to buy a polisher (maybe that LC UDOS) it looks like today would be the day to get that 20% discount by purchasing a Gift Certificate. I usually keep these in reserve for when a new product is introduced that I “can’t live without” or when I burn up my favorite Rupes pads...

https://youtu.be/QHIMnR2qEpk I hope I pasted the correct video . I’m not the best at posting videos. I ran across this neat Nano case on eBay and I wanted to share it. Hopefully Rupes will sell the case separately. Maybe one day they will make a case to hold both the long and short neck...

It’s that time of the year where PW manufacturers drop the prices of their machines. This is the best price I have ever seen on this PW. It’s on Amazon for approximately $107. I have had mine for over 3 years now so I can say it’s a pretty good machine. This price almost makes me want to...

If anyone needs a new pressure washer the AR Blue 390SS is on sale at Amazon for the lowest price it has ever been at $121. I’ve got one and it has been reliable for 3 years. I would get the warranty to be on the safe side. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Coatings=Crack suggested a showdown between one of my favorite long lasting spray on sealant toppers, IGL Premier and the new kid on the block Turtle Wax Seal and Shine. It just so happens my son has been “exercising” my mothers car and it needed some love. It wasn’t in too bad of shape as I...

Dave kindly sent me half a bottle to try out as I was really intrigued by the new black coating. The temperature around here has been touching the 100 degree mark and my garage is not air conditioned so I figured I would do the car in stages. I used 3D One on a Rupes yellow pad and followed...

TacSystems has a new Topcoat out 2.0. I was a big fan of their 1.0. The problems with the 1.0 was the cost $129.99 and it came in a 100 ml bottle and you could do a whole car with 10ml. The bottle would go bad in about 60 days. If you happen to buy a bottle put it into smaller bottles so the...

Sun Joe SPX3001 2030 PSI 1.76 GPM 14.5 AMP Electric Pressure Washer with Hose Reel, Green Amazon has one of their Gold Box sales going on today and the SunJoe PW is on sale for $115.99. 50% is a good deal if you need one. Don’t forget to add on the warranty. I consider all electric PWs at...

I’ve got to have my second back surgery on 12 March. They are going to fuse L5-S1. I’m more than a little nervous about it, but the pain is getting too great and the VA is cutting back on prescribing pain medication due to greedy doctors overprescribing pain medication to those people who do...

I thought there was a thread on this polish but I couldn’t find it. I tried it out today (finally). Used Rupes 15 MKII, Rupes blue wool, Rupes white pad. The finish with the Rupes wool was impressive. I was trying to remove a medium scratch and it knocked it out easily. I did not like the...

I’ve been thinking about buying a rotary polisher for years. I’m proficient on my Rupes da polishers so now I want to learn the rotary side of the game. I read Mike Phillips review of the new Rupes LHR 19e and he said it was light weight it got my attention. As I get older light weight is...

I really don’t like polishing windows, nor sure anyone does. Today I tried to prep my windows for a coating. I grabbed my Rupes mini and a microfiber cutting pad and some Wolfgang Perfekt Finish Glass Polish and went to work on my windshield, nope. After my wipedown I could still see where my...

https://youtu.be/Fcfe8bU1g5Y 2019 The Year of the Spray Coating. I’ve never used any Adams products and with Mothers coming out with a spray coating for $19.99 that streak may remain intact. The Adams product at $69.99 doesn’t sound too appealing. Tossing out the tired 9h buzz word really...

Many times the only time we hear about Rupes is when a polisher quits and someone can’t figure out how to get it fixed. I usually jump in to say how good Rupes customer support is, well I’m back at it again. I bought a Rupes 15 MKII from Autopia from their discount returned item section. I...

A few months ago I got an email from Dr Colorchip with a $99 polisher deal. This is what I got: The green pad is Sonax branded and the yellow pad looks and feels exactly like a Rupes. Can’t really tell the quality of the polish but it looks and smells ok. It also came with replacement...

I was wondering (after looking a a diagram) how hard does anyone think it would be to turn a MKII into a MKIII? At least giving the MKII the variable trigger option. There is no parts list for the MKIII yet and I have to believe that the MKIII is not a big evolution like the MKI to MKII...

The Dr. Beasley’s kit has been the victim of some derision at $500. It’s now hit the closeout bin at $425. Combined with a 25 % sale discount it is finally starting to hit my radar. It’s the only coating, Pro or otherwise, that says 9(!) years of protection. It touts it’s flexability which...
