I'm doing a minor restoration on a 1984 Buick Regal T Type I have. I pulled down the headliner to replace it and I'm looking to replace the old sound deadening stuff that was above the headliner. I know Dynamat is the popular brand, but I'm looking for a cheaper alternative. I'm not looking...

Saw this article link on LifeHacker and got me thinking if anyone gets a noticeable increase in details as a prep for Halloween or dealing with Halloween mess? How to protect your car’s paint from Halloween “tricks”

I had an incident with my boat about a month ago, it started to sink but we were able to save it before it went down. We ended up having to leave it at the marina so we were not able to try and dry anything out ourselves...fast forward to now, all the paperwork is done but the boat has sat at...

I'm getting my 2005 white F-250 tinted as we speak. I talked to the guy at the shop this morning about what I wanted and he just called me with some questions. The truck is a crew cab, back two windows and rear window has 25% (says the guy at the shop). I told him I want 18% on the front...

The ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) club at my school, Penn State Harrisburg, is hosting a car show on September 17th at the school. Awards will be presented for: ASME Choice, Best of Show, Best Muscle Car, Best Hot Rod, Best Sports Car, Best Truck and Best Motorcycle. Its our...

I was using my Meg's G110 polisher today and I was pushing it a little to hard, it got a little too hot and I lost some power (never completely died, just smells like electrical fire). I had to tape up the cord on it last week because it cut open, so I think its about time I buy a new machine...

I have a gallon of Meg's APC+ and the Meg's spray bottle for it. It has markings for 10:1 ratio and 4:1 ratio...fill with water to the desired line and then add the concentrated APC+. My question is, do you top the bottle off with concentrated APC+ to get the desired ratio or do you fill to a...

I have a 18' black landscaping trailer to do next week. The owner only wants a 1 step, so I was just going to use m205, white lc pad, g110. The trailer is pretty scratched up and I'm not sure how much the 205 will be able to correct, i'll follow it with Collonite 845. Thinking of using...

I'm watching a show on the History channel about Air Force One. They said it gets waxed by hand before every mission, I believe they said its about 17000 sq ft of surface area. Wonder what kind of wax they use and do you think they really do it by hand? :waxing: I've seen one of the Air...

My boss wants me to polish our mowing trailer...its an 18ft Carmate, black. :wall Its got some scratches down the side, from tree branches and whatnot. I know he isn't expecting it to be perfect. All i have at my disposal is a G110 and the old school 10" orbital buffer. Need some...

I live in PA and we're supposed to get hit with a snow/ice/rain/whatever mother nature throws at us mix. With all the snow we've had in the past I'm having problems with my doors freezing to the rubber weather stripping. What can I pick up thats OTC to apply to the weather stripping to help...

Anyone willing to share (if they use one) a detailing check list? I just want something to refer to to make sure I get everything done. Thanks Post it if you can or email me: dbbmx540@comcast.net

I just bought a "new to me" white 2005 F250. I know white is hard to see defects but I can tell by looking at the truck it needs a good amount of work. I have M105 and M205, I'm fine working with the 205 but always run into problems with the 105 (mainly it drying too fast and hard to remove)...

Should be in the boat section but knew I would get more help here... I was wondering if you could use a leather cleaner like leatherique or leather masters on vinyl seats in my boat. They have dirt caked in that I can't get clean with anything else and was thinking that something deep...

Started to detail my 1995 21' Crownline today, I plan on finishing it in about 2 weeks once I'm done with school for the semester. This was my first time using my G110 and M105. My M205 was ordered from Amazon but they pushed back the ship date, so it wasnt here in time. Here are some...
