David Fermani has been trying to get this out to the forum: https://www.autopia.org/threads/are-you-getting-used-to-this-new-format-software-in-this-forum.193551/#post-2197495 https://www.printyfuneralhome.com/obituary/Ronald-Ketcham#obituary

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I don't know how I got looking at the Jescar website, and this was mentioned in passing in this thread https://www.autopia.org/threads/what-pad-for-the-extra-fine-polishing-step.193541/ , but Jescar has a lot of compounds/polishes and no real "rating" system that I can find. These are the...

I'm not sure when this product came out, but it seems to be the be-all, end-all, one-stop solution for polishing, with Menz rating it at Cut of 9, Gloss of 9. I'm not even sure where you can buy it, but they seem to have it at Amazon, sold by Menzerna USA. We've seen these products before that...

Well, after years of being chaste and trying to use up my countless products acquired during many years of "flavor-of-the-month club" membership, this year I broke down and bought some stuff. What about you fellers? PS My apologies to Lonnie if this is antithetical to his economy argument.

Mike did a livestream today on the Dr. Beasley's channel; I've only watched about a third of it so far but it's excellent (don't blame me if it goes south in the part I haven't seen yet):

I mentioned this product in this thread: https://www.autopia.org/threads/stoner-car-care.193333/ I'm really loving this product--the full name is Stoner Decon Prep Iron Remover and Wheel Cleaner--Patented Odorless Decontaminant. This seems like a joy to use after years of using hair-perm...

PBMG went through all that work to update the forum software so that everything works better...and now no one is posting!

When I joined here 20 years ago, we had water-based dressings (PDMS, white watery liquid), oil-based dressings (clear liquid or gel), and solvent-based dressings (thin transparent liquid). I think Ketch explained once that the PDMS dressings like ArmorAll are an emulsion (dispersion into water)...

So I was trying to watch the "keep it real" podcast where they were talking about Phobic and Ghost, and the two guys from Armour seemed to be in different places, Brad and DJ. So rewinding a little DJ was introduced as DJ Mayo...didn`t he used to post here or somewhere (looks like more on AGO...

I know this product has gotten a lot of bad press for not working as well as the thioglycol iron removers, and for staining concrete orange, but I tried mine today and I rather liked it. My wife was washing her car this afternoon, and pointed out to me a couple of reddish/brownish spots on the...

Well, I don`t know if they are the first selling them, but I got a TRC email today showing the new 15 and 21 iBrids for sale. As usual, starting out only in kit form with pads and polishes (4 foam pads, 4 wool pads, and coarse and fine compounds). When these were introduced at SEMA it was...

Here`s one no one seems to talk about anymore, Prima Car Care (formerly...Detailer`s Paradise?). I was going through my cabinets trying to talk myself out of buying new stuff and came across my bottle of Amigo, which I think I bought when they stopped making Danase Wet Glaze (according to my...

I notice there seem to be a lot of Grit Guard imitators all of a sudden, which made me wonder if there had been a patent on it which had run out. Sure enough: US7025880B2 - Fluid receptacle and filter system - Google Patents Funny how when the clay patents expired, not much changed...

I kind of fell off the coating bandwagon some years ago when what I guess was the first consumer coating, Opti-Coat 2.0, was replaced by Gloss Coat, which was an inferior hybrid coating (as opposed to OC 2.0 which was a SiC coating, a more diluted version of the Opti-Coat Pro of the day)...
