I haven't used this technique since last summer, and I've forgotten one small detail. If I remember right, I think I added in some distilled h20 (not alot) to my KSG spray bottle...does this sound right at all, or am I thinking of something else? Thanks!

I have no garage and I work nightshift, so the only time I really have alone for detailing is after 9pm (once the wife and kids are asleep). I am wondering if anyone has any creative ideas about where to work at night. I use ONR, so water supply and drainage is not an issue. I would really...

I KAIO and SG'd my car a few days ago, I intend to get 3-5 layers of SG on before the harsh Alabama winter hits.:nervous2: I could give it a quick ONR then re-apply SG, but there is just so very little dirt on the paint. Can I QD before the SG? If so, which QD would you recommend...

I plan on buying some new rims from Next Line Motoring on-line soon. Do any of the on-line wheel/rim sites offer free shipping during the Holidays like most of our car-care sites do? Thanks for any info!

Just wanted to let central Alabama know that a brand new Carquest opened in Hoover on hwy 150 (John Hawkins Pkwy) next to the Walmart Supercenter. I popped in this afternoon for some Duragloss products, not a huge selection, but they have more DG than any Napa in the area. Appreciative and...

I always find myself dirtying just a handful of MF's after QDing, not hardly enough for a full load in the washer. What do you do with your dirty MF's until you have enough to machine wash? Usually I let them soak in a bucket with warm water and some Tide-Free detergent until its time to...

Not sure what it is, but I've got some tenacious black goo that is splattered in my wheelwells and on the inside of the mudflaps, it has "set" and is pretty hard now, but still "tacky". It may be tar, its really chunky though. The PO did it, it doesn't look like anything I've seen before...

I understand that the Pontiac Vibe and the Toyota Matrix are related, but just how much Pontiac is involved? I don't want to pay top dollar for a Toyota with a bunch of Pontiac in it. I looked at the reliability ratings on MSN.com, and it was perfect across the board, which leads me to...

I have a co-worker who I don't know well and can be difficult to get along with. She has a blue 2006 Scion XB that she bought new. I am looking to buy myself, so we briefly had a common interest. I asked her about her MPG's, she started answering and was discussing the size of the gas...

I've been looking for a new set of wheels for my soon to be Scion XB. I've always liked the chrome/polished aluminum look, but I've noticed that very few rims are available. It seems that flat silvers, blacks, golds, polished lips seem to be the latest big trend. Is it because tastes...

I'm having a sweet deck built, it will be covered and screened in. It's going to have a vaulted ceiling, recessed lighting, 2 remote controlled fans, plenty of outlets, 2 glass doors and a open sunning area......none of that is really pertinent, I'm just pumped!! It is going to have cable...

I'm considering buying a 98 or 99 Honda Accord coupe. I know that Honda has had some issues with clearcoat failure on early models, my 92 Prelude had major issues. So, its been ten years, how the clearcoat holding up on the 98's and 99's?? Thanks! :wavey

Do they still make those garage doors that are one solid piece, not segmented, and flip up and out as if on a giant hinge. They don't roll straight up and on rails like most do nowadays. What are they called? Any idea where I could buy one? What are the pros and cons? I'm having a...

We are having alot of work done on our house, new playroom, new bedroom and a new full bath. We are using most of our current garage to do this. My awesome wife has offered to have a 1 car garage built just for me and me stuff. I only take care of my 2 vehicles and occasionaly the...

I've got a crapload of NXT 2.0 after buying many of those discounted $20 gift boxes, so I'd like to utilize everything as best I can. Once I'm up to my fifth layer of KSG, normally I use AW every 3rd or 4th washes, results have been awesome. What are the pros & cons of using the 2.0 over...
