I`m guessing it`s a bulk dressing anyway. I just bought a used car at an auction and it was obviously detailed and I think it was done at a dealership but I don`t know for sure. The tires were dressed with something that made them slightly glossy and they beaded water like crazy so I`m pretty...

Today I washed my Opti Coated 03 Focus wagon. It had been a couple of weeks since the last wash, it was pretty dirty and had bird bombs and maple tree propellers all over it. The car sits outside 24/7 and had not been driven in about 2 weeks. As I wet the car down to begin the wash it looked...

Just got some new foam applicators recently and it started me thinking. Everyone washes their new MF towels before using them, does anyone wash their foam applicators before using? Probably not a bad idea. I usually just use them fresh from the package.

After the discussion about a month ago about the sponge clay block I wanted to try one so I bought the Hi Tech Magna Sponge. Just had a chance to use it recently on the single stage paint on my 88 Mustang. I mixed up 2 oz of ONR in 2 gallons of water for a lube and also so I would be able to...

Going to venture into new territory and detail the neighbor's Harley. He's upset with himself because the bike is new and he already has light scratches all over the paint and windshield. Doesn't look like a huge problem to me, I have plenty of stuff that will remove scratches and polish the...

Just wired up my Christmas present, a Polk subwoofer, in my garage. It sounds great, should have done it a long time ago. I also got a CD player for the garage for Christmas. Now I'm almost fully equiped, I have heat, TV with cable, Stereo receiver, cassette player, CD player, subwoofer...

Just found out that there was a slide, I assume a rockslide, in northern TN on I 75 at mile marker 142 in the beautiful Jellico mountain area. South bound traffic has been diverted to one of the north bound lanes and long delays are possible. 10 miles further south bridge construction has I 75...

I absolutely loved it! This was the first time I have used one (hum Madonna's Like A Virgin here) . You have to understand that my terry wax towels are like old friends, I have had them since the seventies, they have always been used just for wax removal, and they have been washed hundreds...

After reading the posts about Clearkote products by Scottwax and others and the Show Special by DomZ I decided to order my own Show Special by phone. It arrived today, took 2 weeks to get from TX to MI via UPS, weather must have been a factor. I got a gallon of Quik Shine, a quart spray bottle...
