I had some nasty stuff on my exhaust pipes on my motorcycle. Nasty enough that I had to take #0000 steel wool soaked in lacquer thinner to remove it. It removed it alright, but it swirled up my pipes in those areas. I've tried all the metal polishes I have by hand and with a Powerball...

...and not just any spiders. Brown Recluse spiders, to be exact. I saw one in my kitchen after being out of town for two weeks. That freaked me out, so I called the bug man and had him come out and spray. He found several (and by several, I mean 10-15) while just here spraying in my small...

What made you decide to bring these to the store, David? How do they compare with the Sonus offerings?

I have two Monitor Audio RS-8s as my main speakers and I just love them to death. They are simple, yet elegant, and have just the sound I was looking for (lots of bass even for their small size). I am running them with a simple Yamaha receiver I bought from a retail store 5 or 6 years ago. I...

So my best friend broght his wife's Mitsu Galant over today and asked me to remove some of the swirling from the horizontal surfaces. I thought, no big deal, sure. So I wash it, clay it, wash it, and break out my PC. The swirls were not bad, but there were some random scratches that I thought...

They're not the best pictures and it's certainly not the best scenery, but I pulled it out of the garage today to snap some pics for my Victory forum and I thought I'd post them here in case anyone was interested. The paint is nowhere near perfect but it was polished with Scratch-X by hand...

I consider myself pretty well versed in the style of music that I like.... hard rock and heavy metal. Everything from Disturbed to Metallica, Mudvayne to NonPoint, Fuel to Seether, Rush to Rage, SlipKnot to Godsmack... Zep to Silverchair. you get the idea. Well today I was listening to one of...

I had the pleasure of giving this stuff a whirl on the seats of my GTO a few days ago. I have been using Z10 religiously for several years now, and it is one of my very favorite conditioners out there. However, on my GTO's seats, which are more textured than the smooth leather seats in my...

I have been using Poorboy's NL on the interior trim of my work truck and GTO because I love the smell and the finish. However, I was working on my Z06's interior this weekend and decided I wanted to give the dash and door panels some protection (I used 303 previously, hated the smell) and found...

I pretty much always use either a glaze/carnauba or sealant/carnauba combo on my GTO as I feel that gives me a little room to slack with regards to hiding some marring rather than polishing it ALL out. Right now I've pretty much got a different carnauba on every panel. I've got Max Wax on the...

Did you get into detailing through a love affair with a car, or do you really enjoy detailing regardless of what you're working on? Personally, I can honestly say that I am here first and foremost because I am a car guy through and through. Cool cars get my blood pumping, but clean cool cars...

I had a nice talk with one of the Meguiar's reps this past weekend (Jim Lawson) as he had a demo tent set up at a car and motorcycle show I was attending at Sparkle Auto in Garden City, KS. He was doing product demonstrations on a Ford pickup and I walked over, introduced myself and stated that...

I've got some hazy, slightly dull, slightly scratched chrome that my various chrome polishes are not clearing up. What's the secret to working chrome?

So I bring my brand new motorcycle home last night and my buddy comes over to check it out. I had just got done riding it, so the pipes were nice and hot. These are $600 Arlen Ness pipes as well. He's wearing running pants. He sits on the bike and before I can even blink, he's burned a hole...

I did this detail around Christmas time but just now got around to getting the pictures put up. The color is Machine Silver Metallic and the car was in excellent shape, but had never been polished before. It had Z2Pro on it previously, but I wanted to try something new. My process was quite...

So apparently I'm the only one, but I have kind of a hard time getting 425 to cooperate with me. I am a QD junky, I have used them all, so I don't think it's my method, but maybe there is a secret that I am not aware of. I am using it over carnaubas mostly (Pink Wax on my black...

Has anybody tried this yet? I have some of the Speed Detailer I need to use up but I'm wanting to top my AJ with a carnauba to help with some of the minor scratches until I have time to repolish it. Intuition tells me the two won't work too well together. I can see the Speed Detailer...

One car wash, one polish, one sealant, one glaze, one wax, one QD, etc. to use regardless of car color or other factors. Car wash: PB's SS&S Polish (abrasive): Menzerna FPII Polish(chemical): AIO/Prime Glaze: RMG Sealant: EX-P (under the premise of topping with carnauba... otherwise...

Please? Heck, ship 'em out to me with no labels, I don't care! :getdown

I know it can be mixed as a QD but I was wondering if any of the members who have experience with this product have a suggestion for which dullution to use for best results as a waterless wash (a la S&W).
