Something a little different. I got a chance to work on this car for a coworker of my wife. They plan on using the car in an upcoming wedding and asked if I could "clean it up and wax it". ;) It isn't anything exotic or a show car, but more like a member of their family. The paint isn't in...

This is what happens when it rains in the morning and then the temp drops 30 degrees through out the day. When I went out to warm up my car, this is what I saw...... (It looked better at lunchtime, but I didn't think of snapping a picture) :crazy: The southerners should...

I scored one of these on the last deal that someone posted here. It looks like it is available again for $120.00 and no shipping for Prime members.:cool: Amazon.com: Griot's Garage 11605STDCRD 6" Machine Polish and Wax Kit: Automotive Good luck, Randy

For those that have used them, is the heated model that much better? I got the LGM (no heat) as a Christmas present but have considered exchanging it for the heat model. The heat model only heats the water 25* above normal temperature, but it looks like it is a 9 amp motor versus the...

They had two kits, both for $10 each. or this one: The main difference is one has a MF sponge, and the other has a 'bug scrubber' sponge. The large drying towel is $10 if you were to buy it alone. Randy

I always have friends asking what to get for a basic selection of pads without breaking the bank or having a bunch of pads that don't get used. They see my stash and get a little overwhelmed and don't want to get in that deep. What pad colors and sizes what be good for first timers and novice...

:wall I loaned my PC to a friend and now the small backing plate is stuck in the machine. A friend and I tried all we could to remove it. It looks like the next step is possibly a destructive method.....:nixweiss I plan on trying an oil filter wrench (closest thing I have to a strap...

Anyone heard of it or even used it? A friend says that him and his buddies use it on their Harley's and love it. He asked me if I have heard of it (which I haven't) and it piqued my interest to investigate. So far, I haven't found much past the lame website thunderboltpolish.com which...
