Howdy Y'all, Well, back from a week of incredible snowboarding in Vail! It was so awesome for an end of season run! :woot2: Now for the reality: pollen hell! (see pics attached) :bawling: In the time we were away, the pollen monsters attacked my G35 and SC430. So, not being a...

So there's this jerky on TV pushing shamwow. Some synthetic super-absorbing towel. Have you seen it? Shamwow! Given that it's an (awful) infomercial, I assume the thing is crap. But, for the price, it seems like decent thing. But, we all know that 90% of infomercial stuff is crap. There...

Hello All, We just closed on our new house Friday. Sunday, I was moving some paint cans in a box (you know what's coming) and the bottom busted open... and a can hit and opened on the concrete floor... :mad: The floor is not sealed. I'm sure that means the paint soaked into the concrete...

Howdy Y'all, I'm getting ready to place my big order for all the supplies to put down EPOXYShield Professional Floor Coating in my new garage, all from garage-toys.com. Their site has a place to enter a 'promo code'. Anybody know a promo code for garage-toys.com ? Cheers, Ian

Howdy, I've been looking for over-the-counter HDPE plastic gallon jugs. I've been to lowes, home depot, target, walmart, even a couple of discounty beauty supply stores (not something I wish to repeat). I can't find any plain ole HDPE plastic gallon jugs. Nothing fancy. Like the ones...

Some of you may have seen this already... If you have not - YOU MUST! If you sometimes compare cars to art, beautiful women, and the like, you will love this vid! I give you the Bugatti Veyron top speed test: Top Gear - Bugatti Veyron Speed Test :shocked

Back when I got all serious about getting into detailing, I signed up to get Professional Carwashing & Detailing magazine. It's 99% for those autowash places. But, it does have a decent article or info in it every so often. The current issue has just such information. Professional Carwashing...

With many of us in the US experiencing 100*+ temps these days, one thing to keep in mind is the characteristics of each type of plastic bottle you use. Some solvents in some of the products we use can breakdown plastic very quickly. Other can't handle extreme heat, or cold. If you are to...

Ok, we have decided upon a date for a little NC detail fest. Brandon can offer up his shop, it's a 60x40 a/c'd shop with a wash bay and can fit 2 trucks and one small car comfortably. Brandon has a pressure washer, air compressor, 90psi water spigot, shop vac, PC, Makita, alot of products, and a...

I've been cleaning the hell outta my G35's wheels trying to get that last bit of nasty grit and tar offa them. Still got bad spots. So, in reading through the Censura posts of tar remover, I saw that Pinnacle Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad has a good rating. So, I've been looking for it...

I've got that musty smell coming from my A/C on my '04 G35 Sedan. I've gotten some Einszett Klima-Cleaner and need to insert the dispersal tube into the fresh air intake (FAI). However, I can't figure out where that is! I've been looking all over the web for info on where I can get to the...

In my latest Road & Track was an ad for Griot's. They're offering a free catalog and a free DVD of "maching polishing." So, what the hey, I called them. Got the catalog. Watched the vid. It's not *anything* like the one offered by showcargarage.com! But, in the catalog is an ad for Griot's 3"...

UPDATE/ CORRECTION: Fast forward to Dec 2007... and I am now a CS believer. As the old saying goes, RTFM! Useing the correct amount and cleaning out the tub FIRST with CS is the way to go! I use CS to clean lots of things from my detailing fabrics to my wife's bras! LOL So, it was user error on...

My best friend had a 01 M Coupe. It got totaled about 2 months ago. He's finally found and bought another. It's been in a garage on jacks for about two years. (link to pics below) It's just been towed from Cincinnati yesterday. He said he tried to rinse off as much salt as he could last night...

Howdy Y'all! This is a new member "hello" posting. I've been detailing cars in a very amateur way for years. This summer, I stepped up and joined some detailing forums, got my first PC, and starting amassing products right after I got my new ride: Infiniti G35! (dealer pics is all I have right...
