OK, Sizzle Chest, who makes that roller caster blue detailing chair I see in the photos?? Vyper?? (Another Captain Obvious observation and question!) Bet it saves on the back and shoulders. What an iconic purist 911, an air-cooled turbo! Thanks for sharing. The patina on the leather tells me...

I saw this NEW line of detailing products from Armor-All called Podium Series as a collaboration with F1 Oracle Red Bull Racing at Walmart, of all places. Anyone hear or know anything about this new detailing product line? Seems kinda weird to see something like this at Walmart , BUT with...

Dustin Cropsboy: I would be interested in knowing what coating you DID finally choose to use and why, regardless if you did it yourself OR had a professional detailing apply it. Seems like these questions about coatings ALWAYS comes up within this forum: Which coating is the best on (you pick a...

Boy, Setec and Accumulator, you have BOTH had your 'bad" experiences with small micro-polishers. Looks like the G13 ,although expensive. might be a good machine to have for a micro-polisher. Accumulator, you have GOT to use your "new" I-brid and tell us what you think. Then again, if you are...

Looks like it needs some serious cleaning first. I am with Stokdgs on this one: What material is it; leather or plastic: If it is leather, try Griot's Garage Oder Neutralizing Leather Cleaner (yellow liquid spray) and then their Leather Care CREAM protectant. If it's plastic, try something like...

Merlin: Thanks for the pics of the red Car-Pro tape job on this "Rapid Blue" (color name from online GM literature/info). Looks really unique with the red tape as trim "accent". Then again I AM easily amused as Captain Obvious. The five days you spent detailing this Camaro may sound insane to...

Merlin: Did you remove the rear wing to get under it? Doesn't look like there is much clearance between the bottom of the wing and truck lid. Bet the red tape job looked really cool on this blue (NO, don't have to post those pics just for me!) Just wondering much time you spent on this Camaro...

Alfisti: Thanks for the honest evaluation of Menzerna's new Cut Force Pro abrasive and your comparison to TW's-HS 1-&-Done. What model Subaru was it and how many miles are on it? I had a 2003 Outback with the Pearl White Metallic paint and tan cladding. Very nice car that I had for 19 years and...

Does anyone know how he (Ron K.) got the nickname "Grumpy"? (Here's a vintage/early post in this forum WHY he may have gotten the nickname "Grmpy": https://www.autopia.org/threads/anybody-from-northeast-pa.72558/

OK I was wrong about the Ohio DOT and the university in Ohio which was authorized to do the salt neutralizer study; It was the University of Akron (Go Zips!)...

OK, I'll bite... What IS the official Porsche name for this "insane color"? This IS a 718 Caymen and not a 911, right?? (Yeah, guess I am NOT a true Porsche-o-phile when I cannot tell the difference between a 718 and a 911....Dahhhhh, Captain Obvious!) The spoiler on the back lid looks massive...

OK, I will ask the Captain Obvious Question: Why not just power wash the underside of your car on a low PSI setting or nozzle? Or are you 'concerned" about forcing water into wheel bearings, CV joint boots, and the plethora of emissions, CPU engine and transmission controls, and safety sensors...

The Ohio Department of Transportation had the University of Ohio do a study of which salt-neutralizers was the most effective and am pretty sure that it was Salt-Away that was the best , with ValuGard's VG-502 a close second. I was under the impression that Salt-Away was more for marine use in...

Looked for specs on this hybrid sports car because I wanted to know if the body is carbon fiber OR parts of the body are carbon fiber construction, like the gull-wing doors. I would have to ask what made detailing this no-longer-in-production car "fun". Was it the unique (challenging) body...

Vegas1: A big "Thank You" for answering all my Captain Obvious questions. Nice Q50. Nissan's version of a luxury sedan of the 350Z . Is it All-Wheel Drive (AWD)?? Also see the dark grey Audi SUV in the background. Nice stable of vehicles for New England weather! I use Aerospace 303 protectant...

It is on their website: https://www.menzerna.com/car-care/car-polish/business-products/details/cut-force-pro I do kinda "question" how it can achieve BOTH a cut rating of "9" (meaning a lot) AND a gloss rating of "9" simultaneously without using different types of pads, especially foam pads like...

OK Vegas 1, four Captain Obvious questions: 1) You mentioned Meg's D110, which number corresponds to their HyperWash soap. Did you mistype/transpose the numbers and mean D101, which is their All-Purpose Cleaner (the light green stuff)? 2) Was the salt-and-grime in the pics from a full winter's...

Better late than never. Sorry to resurrect a 4 year-old post BUT you did ask: https://www.griotsgarage.com/the-boss-hybrid-micro-polisher/

Accumulator, I assume by Super Coupe you mean his Lincoln MarkVIII?? Ref: https://www.autopia.org/threads/old-man-full-filling-a-long-time-dream.169829/ In this thread from January of 2012, he stated he was 68-years-old then.

I was wondering about him recently. Thanks for posting his obituary. There is SO much that can be said about him and his influence on detailing, not only to members within this Autopia Forum, but to the detailing community at large and the automotive industry. We have lost (another) Autopian...
