So I went into a detail shop a couple of days ago to get a price to fully detail my car. After reading here, I knew what I wanted. I told him, clay, polish, wax and LSP. He quotes me a price that seems pretty decent. This guy has a detail shop, nice size, so I figure he knows what he is...

Hope this is the right forum for this. I got these door edge guards (plastic) and also an edge guard for the front edge of my hood. The car is black. After all this California heat, the adhesive inside of these caused them to somehow get somewhat loose. Underneath is a black, super...

I admit I got lazy and paid $10 to have my car washed once a week for the last 5 months or so. I don't know what happened, it just seems I lost interest. Then last Sunday I just decided to wash it myself. I began to notice tiny scratches and swirls...gee wonder where that could have come...

Costco - CR SPOTLESS De-ionized Water Filtration System Does it really work as advertised? Thinking about getting it for Christmas. My water has got a lot of minerals in it. :help:

I made the mistake of washing all my microfiber together (all new, first wash). I had several colors in there as well as 8 DF Concours white cotton MF towels. It seems that the white MF now have a slight orange tinge. Any suggestions on how to return them to white? I don't think that MF is...

I haven't used my Shmitt for more than 2 dozen car washes. My last product used for washing was CG Citrus Wash & Gloss Synthetic Citrus Based Hyper-Wash+GLOSS which is a citrus based product (duh). The Shmitt separated at the bead that glues the white and yellow portions together. I can...

Well, I had just put up a new antenna on my roof yesterday. But before I did, My large old antenna seemed to be covered in bird dung. Maybe that's why my reception had been going south? Anyway, I just happened to have my pressure washer plugged in and turned on since I was washing my car...

I use these magic erasers for exterior windows. I don't actually use the Mr. Clean one ($$), but my .99 cent store stocks the 3M and a couple of other brands of these. What I would like to know is, can I use it on my inside windows which are tinted? I haven't had the courage to try it yet, as...

I finally picked up a canopy. There was a sale at Sears. I think this will allow me to work on my cars on the weekend without needing to wait until the sun goes down. I will try it out this Saturday. It is supposed to be very easy to open/close. Never had one of these. Any comments on this...

On a product that I purchased, it says "Can be used as a waterless car wash by diluting 3:1 with H20. The question I have is, is it three parts WATER or three parts PRODUCT? thanks. Sorry for being so stupid. P.S. The product is CG Speed Wipe.:crazy2:

My little dog (combo. chihuahua/dachshund) pushed open the screen door last night and tore out after a skunk that was crossing my driveway. She's only two years old and doesn't know what skunks can do. My wife ran after her but by the time she found her, she was rolling around on the grass...

Drove down to CB last weekend to get some waterless car wash and talked to one of the guys there (can't recall his name). He let me preview a new product called "ONE". It is a waterless wash system/detail spray. It has Kaolin (sp?) clay in it. When you look on the bottom of the bottle...

Or will I need to buy a new Edge adapter for the 4" cyclo pads?
