I used to have T5HO lighting in my garage at my old house, i'm building a new garage and am curious if anyone is running LED's?  If so how are they for detailing and how expensive were they?

What are people's preferences for drying?  Would you rather do it by air compressor or a blower?  If it's blower i'd curious what blower everyone likes for drying?  Thanks.

I'm buidling a new garage and I want to think of all the Autopian things I need.  I plan on having very bright lights, probably T8's, I plan to have them on the sides of the garage as well.  I will have a little sink in there as well as water resistant sheetrock.  I can't decide if I should  go...

How do these two compare.  I'm looking for something that has a really glossy shine that doesn't sling.  I've used Optibond which was pretty good.  I've Sonax which looks great when you apply it but slings pretty bad.  Was thinking of trying either the Griots high gloss or HD Dress.  Opinions?

So a week ago I finished washing my car by hand at my parents house.  When I was done I left my bucket and bottle of griots car wash in the truck.  For the next week I forgot about the bucket, when I discovered it, the bottle of car wash spilled out all over the trunk and has sat there.  What...

I just purchased a used Audi S4. Upon closer inspection it looks like maybe someone used too aggressive of a cleaner on them. Is there anything to try to see if it will come off? I tried Sonax wheel cleaner on them as well as a degreaser in a few spots but nothing worked.

I applied Nitro about 6 months ago. I'd like to give it a refresh before winter hits. Do I just reapply B or do I do both A and B?

I wash my cars in my garage using ONR. I have German cars that produce a ton of brake dust. Is it okay to use a wheel cleaner like sonax and then just spray it off using my 1 gallon sprayer filled with ONR. I've tried waxing the wheels but the brake dust is still tough to remove with only...

I just got a new bottle of Sonus leather conditioner and they must've changed their formula. It used to smell like Porsche leather after it was applied. Now it does not smell very good. It also used to make the seat not so slippery. Now after applying the seat are slicker than when I...

I'm looking for a great high gloss tire shine that doesn't sling. How is the Sonax High Gloss Tire shine?

I notice the directions say once you open the bottle you need to use all of the product in the next 6 months. What happens after 6 months? Is it really bad to use it?

Are the Lowes grout sponges still the best to use with ONR? I see Lowes has 2 Proline sponges now, 1 is $1.98 and the other is $2.98. WHich one are people using?

Does it sling? How high gloss is it? I like a really wet look.

I posted approximately 1 month ago about problems removing HD Nitro. I was initially upset with HD Customer service because it took some time before they contacted me. HOwever, once they did they were fantastic to deal with. We came to the conclusion that the temperature was a little cold in...

I put Nitro on and let it dry for over an hour. When I tried to remove it it was still somewhat greasy. I decided it must need more time to dry, so i gave it another 2 hours. I just tried it again and comes off pretty easy but i still see smears underneath. Maybe I used too much of the "A"...
