    2017 Colorado and FK1000p.

    Traded off the 2012 Camaro for this 2017 Colorado. Not quite as much fun but easier for me to get in and out of. Seats are not quite as comfortable after sitting in them for more than an hour. I know I will miss the car but I sure won`t miss the black color. It looked nice when it was clean but...

    For those that watch "Street Outlaws"

    Street Outlaw’s Justin “Big Chief” Shearer and Brian “Chucky” Davis Crash During TV Filming Noticed this news just popped up on my facebook page. I am not exactly for street racing and think it should be done at the track but I will say I do like the show to see the cars with the crazy...

    Start of my 2014 detailing will have a wait a little longer!

    Thanks to Mother Nature. We have had one of those years that I could have lived without. The sub-zero temps started at least a month early end of last year and now the snow just won't stop. Is there any living space left in the sunshine state as I think I am ready to retire and move. Stepped...

    My 2012 Black Camaro

    I had a couple days off from work due to lack of work so I decided to do a full detail on the car or I should say finish what I had started a few weeks ago. To explain that, I had started polishing the car a few weeks ago until my GG orange pad disintegrated about 1/2 to 3/4 done and never...

    Kudos to Lake Country pads.

    I am still learning the ins and outs of detailing and I can say for one thing that brands make a difference. I have a GG 6" DA machine and it makes easy work of detailing over doing it by hand. Today I got a chance to try out Lake Country's cool wave pads in orange and white. I had used GG...

    IPA solution question.

    I did a search on IPA and solutions and found a number of threads but still have a few questions. Is there a specific type of IPA I need to buy? I guess what I am asking is the IPA in the 16 oz bottle at a grocery or drug store is that the product that will work? I have a bottle of the stuff in...

    Question on MF towel usage?

    I am still an amateur when I comes to detailing and still have a lot to learn. For the professional detailers out there I have a question on which type of MF towel to use for a given task. I guess what I mean is what weight or thickness of towel works best for the task it is going to be used...

    Questions on using UPGP for windshield?

    I didn't want to piggyback on the other thread on the question of this product. I received this yesterday as the free gift from this past Sunday's deal. I noticed on the bottle it says it can be used for glass treatment but there are no instructions for applying to glass. My questions are: has...

    Project: LED light and stand.

    After seeing Concours.John's LED light build it gave me an idea to build one myself. Unfortunately mine does not put out as many Lumens. But here it goes. I started with a Designers Edge model L1301 108 LED work light for $31.20 on Amazon. Advertised as putting out 300 Lumens but box says 350...

    Questions on foamers or foam guns?

    I have the following attachment that came with a portable pressure washer I bought at least 10 years ago. I have not used the pressure washer in a couple years as I got tired of dragging it out as it is time consuming to hook it up the water to the special connector and then drag out an...

    Question/problem on uploading pictures?

    I have learned how to use the album page instead of uploading into the galleries. I am doing this so I have an easier time managing and finding them. I have been having a problem uploading photos lately. When uploading I am having problems pictures won't upload. I am using a Kodak Z710 7MP...

    My first try at a rinseless wash.

    Not really a review since it has been done but just my first attempt at a rinseless wash. Even though it was just over the 40F mark I am just not comfortable breaking out the buckets and hose at this temp, plus I like being comfortable and like wearing sweat pants and a t-shirt. Less chance of...
