Sorry no pics. The camera is MIA none of us in the house have an idea where it is. I know "that's no excuse AR" :o We have a '94 Grand Caravan Sport Wagon model, it's jungle green in color, alloy rims and grey cloth interior. Work started around 8 this AM and as with any good detail it...

I've always been confused how much product to water to mix to make a certain ratio that I need. Say I'm using Megs APC and I need to mix it 4:1 to make 1/2 of the 32oz spray bottle. How much product to water would you mix?? If anyone has a system or anything how to mix ratios to determine...

Where to start. So many idears. I have a 98 Ford Ranger with the 2.5L 4banger, A4LD(or E?) 8.8 rearend with 3:08 gears. I've been thinking about this for over a year now. Despite the criminal gas prices now which is BTW $2.20 for regular:eek: Doesn't stop me from doing the swap...

I ran out of my 5th bottle of DACP and I want to try something else. Even though I'm pretty dedicated to Meguiars I'm not a diehard so much that I will not use anything else. What does everyone here like?? I'm well aware everyone likes different polishes but seeing polishing is the beauty of...

For about 27 years my mom had an old Kenmore washer that she got for a wedding gift and the whole time it worked before the motor burned up it never made funny noises, smelled clean and just work really good. Up until 3 or some years ago my mom bought a new Kenmore washer. For some reason, it...

Just wondering if some of you use an entire clay bar when claying a vehicle or do you cut in in half? I just purchased a new Megs Professional Overspray Clay because my other one was getting too ratty even though I only used it 3 times. Thanks,,,,,AR

Not sure how to start this so I'll just jump in. I'd like to discuss todays formulations of polishes and waxes. Most of them have oils in them to moisturize the paint and make it shine to prevent clearcoat failure, dulling and easier to wash. Meguiars is big on oils. They have this Trade...

Finally got my 9227c from Coastaltool.com the other day. I installed the overhead handle and put on the factory backing plate. I am very impressed of how smooth and quiet it is. You can feel it that it is indeed a quality piece of machinery. So my old man and I were talking tonight. He...

As of Thursday last week and much research along with a gut instinct I hit the "Submit Order" button at coastaltool.com for the Makitacx3. I don't think I'll use the pads that come with it but a bag never hurts for storage. Maybe I'll use the pads that come with it for practicing but never on...

I have a Dell 4300PC. For the past couple weeks it automatically decided it was going to load everything twice. What it does is when I get on IE to browse, come here, play games or regardless it loads everything twice. The page will load just fine but when it gets to the point of just being...

Hello everyone. As a long time member of Autopia, I feel that my time has come to self resign myself. It's been a great time here being able to contribute my knowledge and help others who are in need of it. My reasons stand as being personal to leave. I hope you can understand that...

I like to refer back to my Megs How to remove Paint Defects video for this but it never really shows a clear shot how they steer the rotary. My original thinking with the Makita 9227c, you would control it with the overhead handle, hence it's design and my thinking. After reading the...

If it's ok with everyone here, I would like to see some of there work done with a rotary. For the longest time it seems like I've been wanting to get a new Makita. I think should help me give a better idea of what I expect from a rotary and give me a better feel of what it can and cannot do...

Only ourselves as individuals can control what we do, what we say and how we react to things. Such things as wrecking a vehicle can be so big and arouse so much contraversy that sometimes, people don't know what to say, where to go or what to do. As the old quote says, "Expect the...
