    Problem with my SSR1

    How to stop leather-on-leather squeak?

    So I was out shopping for a new computer chair today... :) Found one that is very, very comfortable, and very nicely priced. (Clearance from $199 down to $99) The only drawback is that the way it is upholstered, the cushion is wrapped with leather separately from the actual base of the chair...

    One-step product for a paid detail?

    The friend whom I usually detail with has recently informed me that several of his neighbors, after seeing us out detailing our own cars in his driveway, have inquired about getting theirs done. So, we've decided to make up some price lists and pass them around. We've pretty much got our...

    Seeking good body shop in Cinci/Northern KY area

    Well, a friend backed into my car in his driveway today. So, I'm wondering if anybody knows of a good (actually, better than just good) body shop in the Cincinnati/Northern KY area. This Nighthawk Black Pearl, I'm guessing, is not going to be an easy color. :) -Kaos

    Finally! She's home, detailed, and picturized! :) ('06 Accord Coupe)

    Well, after much ado, my new car is finally home. W00t! :howdy For those that like the story behind the pictures, here it is: My '91 Lebaron finally suffered a fatal transmission breakdown in November with 193,000 miles. No biggie, I thought, I'd just stick with the truck for a while. The...

    What's in YOUR wal...er.. mobile detailing kit? :)

    Now that I have a nice new car to take care of, I decided it was finally time to get down to putting together a kit to keep in the trunk. Stopped at Wally World today to pick up some bottles and a tote, and here's what I ended up with: Spray & Wipe Spray & Gloss Bug Squash (full strength...

    Reason behind different applicators for different products

    Hey Steve, I was just about to send you a PM with this question, but thought that some other folks might have the same curiosity I do... :) Just wondering why it is that different but similar products specify different applicators. For instance, waxes are almost always applied with a foam...

    Wolfgang clay kit

    Anybody else picked up the Wolfgang clay kit? (the one with clay, lube, and 2 mf's) I just opened mine up yesterday, opened up their box that says "6 oz." on it, and found inside a bar of clay almost imperceptibly larger than the 100g one that I usually use from the Clay Magic kit. 6 oz, being...

    Hmm... micromarring/holograms from SSR1, what did I do wrong? :)

    I got some time today to start a little on the detail on my new black '06 Accord coupe. Washed and clayed, then hit it with SSR1 on a blue Edge polishing pad (PC), figuring that should be plenty sufficient to take out the few dealer-induced swirls. (And yes, I made sure they didn't wash it...

    Trying to remember, what's the generally-accepted best LSP for black? Was it Souveran? And what under it? EX-P? UPP?

    Murphy's law. (mumble, grumble...)

    So. 11 days till I trade my truck on a spiffy new Accord coupe. Today I'm heading out to go to lunch, just come out of the apartment complex, and something goes "pop" and starts making a horrific grinding noise as I'm rolling down the road. So I head off down the street to Car-X and drop $318...

    Brand new interior: How to start it right so it stays that way?

    Apparently my thread from the old server didn't make it over, so I'll re-ask. :) Picking up an '06 Accord coupe in about a week and a half :yay and wondering what's best for the interior to keep it looking as brand new as the day I pick it up. Leather: Just use something like the Lexol...

    Taking the plunge... buying a new black car. :) Product suggestions needed.

    Hi all, Well, with the price of gas the way it is, and the fact that I still don't own a house, which was the entire reason for purchasing my V8 4WD 14MPG-on-a-good-day truck two years ago, I've decided to trade it on something that gets better mileage. I've settled on a new Accord EX V6...

    My SSR2 is.. erm... chunky. :)

    Now that spring has sprung, I am breaking out all the great products I've picked up over the course of the winter after reading lots of info here. Something I've noticed with the SSR2 I have: It's kinda chunky. It doesn't seem to affect the results at all, just looks wierd. The product...

    PB Trim Restorer Rules! :D

    For those who aren't familiar with what Trim Restorer is capable of: Steve, this stuff rocks!!!! :bow I wish I had a "before" pic of the black textured plastic trim piece below the windshield where the wipers mount. It was all rainbow-colored and ugly looking. It's a gorgeous shiny...
