    Mr Clean Magic Eraser Sheets

    I’m going to buy these for use around the car. I can imagine many uses both inside and out. The nice thing is they can be cut to be used even smaller. I have a feeling I’ll use them in a variety of sizes I will cut. You might want to pick some up for around the house too.

    Light Up Car Painting

    I picked this up at Kirklands on Sunday. I couldn't resist. It's a '50s/60's style drive thru scene. It hangs proudly on my office wall. I apologize for the crappy iPad photos though. No flash. :( But you get the idea....

    Car Candy Products

    I just had two headliners replaced and the shop that did them has some detailing products they use on cars. They use a local-to-Florida brand called Car Candy. I checked them out online and they seem like yet another small-time chemical supplier. I did see one of their products in action...

    Yesterday I attended the 2012 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. It is an annual event for me, and like always, it did not disappoint. There weren’t as many people (thankfully) as last year, and it seemed like there were less cars,but it was a total pleasure to stroll past all of the automotive...

    Amelia Island Preview

    The Amelia Island is essentially the East Coast's answer to Pebble Beach. It's true automotive nirvana from the moment you reach the grounds of the Ritz Carlton, where brand new ultra luxury and sports cars are parked--some you can even sit it! Once you have your ticket validated and you...

    Dr Beasley's?

    I just stumbled on this brand and didn't see anything about it. The only thing I know is that the packaging cleverly looks like medicine bottles and it appears the line focus on being Eco friendly. Anyone know mire about their products?

    Garage Dream Come True!

    I never had a chance to put together a piece about my garage but I had the extra time the other evening and Photobucket is still the only real way I know how to post pics, so I included them here. Three and a half years ago I moved into a brand new place, yes, a garage with a house...

    FK 1000P vs. Collinite 476S

    I'm getting back in the loop regarding LSPs and these two are new to me. I've seen them mentioned recently. They seem to be directly competing products in terms of claims of product durability. Check out the product descriptions: Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax, high melt polymer car...
