These are probably 5+ years old.  They are two-sided, I think synthetic wool, with a hex adapter that they snap onto.  They were big around here at the time, I just didn't write down what they were, or more specifically, what the relative cutting rate of them was.   One is light blue, the...

This is an aerosol product, was $8.50 from the local parts place. It's like 8oz, and I used about half of it coating my wheels. I wouldn't use it on a regular basis I don't think, due to price. But on a car you only drive when it's nice, the wheels often get dirty well before the car, so...

I was trying to find the website for the Edge 2000 company, but can not seem to. I thought it was Buffing Pads - 3M and the Edge buffing pads for the automotive detailing professional 3M US, but maybe I'm too long out of touch and it's something else. Anyway, all I could find is this: The...

I "detailed" this car today as a gift for an in-law. It's an '86 Grand National with about 25,000 miles on it. I think the last time anything was done to it other than a wash was about 6 years ago when I also cleaned it up as a gift. I washed it with optimum no-rinse. I'm really warming up...

I just tried this stuff out today. I purchased it instead of Protect-All QEW because of an unsatisfying experience with their customer service. I've been using QEW for several years with no complaints. I used two buckets, one filled with 6 quarts of water, and 1.5 ounces of No Rinse. This...

I had a few 16 ounce bottles of Protect-All's QEW that I bought probably 2-3 years ago. I've been working through them, and when I was down to one bottle, I went and bought a gallon locally from an RV place. I just used up the last 16 ounce bottle, and refilled it from the gallon. However...

Anyone remember an old thread about repainting a car on the cheap? It was with some kind of self-leveling paint that could be applied with a roller? I seem to recall someone had a picture of a yellow Camaro painted that way. I can't find it with search though. Or am I just crazy?

Here's a video of the auction action, and a very nice introduction by Jay Leno: Corvette: Sales, News & Lifestyle: Barrett-Jackson 08: [VIDEO] 1st 2009 Corvette ZR1 Sold for $1 Million

Oh heck yeah.... 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 unveiled I love how there are more carbon fiber accents. The C6 Z06 has some CF but you can't tell by looking at it. The exposed carbon on the splitter and such are great. Not a fan of that hood "window" though. Plus they are about 10...

Well, except other people can still ding you: Disappearing Car Door Hope it's not a dupe.

In case anyone was interested, over the last year I've made a couple small changes to my Aurora. The first was upgrading the wheels to factory chrome ones. They are also now wrapped in Goodyear Eagle ResponseEdge tires. Sorry about the lack of properly dressed tires in the picture, but they...

Here's the list. What I did was pro-rate each product by how much is left, then reduce it by a further 40% owing to the fact that it is used. Here's what I have: 'Product' 'Orig Price' '% full' 'price' Blackfire car wash 15 80% $7.20 SOLD Blackfire QD 18 90% $9.72 SOLD Pinnacle...

I was reading Superbee's posts about how he uses milder wool pads as his regular go-to pads, and was intrigued. I like wool because it is easier to use in that it doesn't yank the buffer around so much, and it is much less likely to burn things like trim, rubber, etc on accidental contact...

I went through my stash of products and decided it's time to prune it down again. There are just so many perfectly fine products I have that I'll just never use. I'd prefer to sell locally as I don't want to deal with the hassle of shipping single items, etc, so I'll post it here first. What...

Before: and After: See the difference? No? How about now: Before: and After: Still can't see the difference? Well, how about this: Before and after, see the difference? :D
