I got a cr spotless water deionizer before Christmas. It was a deal on eBay, a dual 10" unit. I purchased new crspotless resin and refilled. I used it for the first time yesterday. Amazing. It was warm enough in TN to actually make paint surfaces feel hot, so the christening of my new to me...

I'm a first time home buyer. I found a sweet place, so I put a contract on it. During the home inspection, I noticed termite damage in the garage near the door. Termite inspector says it's recent, active, and needs to be treated. :shifty: ... ok, I can deal with this, right? Just...

This morning my lover got this black goo (maybe driveway sealer? or some kind of black paint) all over the truck. I was not told about it until I got home, since my love knows these things bother me :grinno: I tried to clay with yellow griots clay (not very aggressive). I was worried...

16 oz. bottles of Menzerna Final Polish II (about 8 oz remaining or 50%) and Intensive Polish (~12 oz remaining or 75%). I am looking for 20 bucks shipped for both to the lower 48. Paypal only unless local to Knoxville, TN. PM if interested.

Price Change: $5 w/shipping. I have two 8oz sized bottles of Sonus SFX-1/2 polishes. I've used these for swirl removal and the SFX-1 has about 30% remaining; the SFX-2 has about 40% left. I have used them by hand and by PC. They have a very long working time and a pleasant scent as...

I have someone who wants me to detail his girlfriend's car as a present. She is out of state until 7/17 [Sunday = delivery date]. I will be available until the Friday prior (this Friday) to clean this car. It's available to me from right now to delivery. The problem is it will be kept...

I've got a g35 coupe (Laser Red/"hard clear" on underhood sticker) that has some acid rain etching on most of the horizontal surfaces. Pics below. Note that the panel is VERY clean in the pic below, all the imperfections are in the clear. I tried to remove these defects with a 4" yellow...

I can't post pics to my autopia album, any ideas? I've been here for years, so can't figure why I'm having a problem.

I'm looking for reputable PDR repair guys in the greater Knoxville area. Any suggestions welcome.

I had done quite a bit of searching about using Leatherique on coated leather. My car has coated leather (G35) and almost every post I saw, except for an LHS with coated leather, were all about leatherette or uncoated leather. After much searching, contemplating, and pondering I sprung for...

I just moved into a place with a flat top stove (Whirlpool, if it matters). My mother bought some special stuff for her stove when she had remodeled the kitchen, but it seemed alot like a polish... like something I already have from a habit I've developed... Has anyone used a light polish...

Hey guys, I am embarrassed to admit that my car, while autopian clean, is lacking in maintenance ... well let me explain: My car needs a new motor, but I have been able to push it off: it uses tremendous amounts of oil for its young 82K mile life, and also needs a new timing chain/tensioner...

I thought the Autopia community could help me with snagging a job, since they straightened out my paint issues. Its a direct correlation if you think about it long enough, right? I just graduated from college, almost 4.0 in mechanical engineering (3.96) with some decent experience and...

Situation: Black G35 parked in garage. Nearly swirl free, but has alot of random of random scratches. Problem: I can't get the deeper scratches out, and new ones (however small) are coming up from people in parking lots, purses, etc. Diagnosis: OCD detailer with an inability to remove...
