Just to confuse the issue even more, Edge has white wool available in two different flavors: one is a twisted wool heavy compounding pad, the other is a velvety soft, non-twisted finishing pad with zero bite. Some of you might know that the latter is one of my very favorite pads. ;) To make...

Costco is running a very nice portable air conditioner sale right now. Costco - $299.99 after $50 OFF Royal Sovereign 10,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner Costco - $279.99 after $50 OFF Royal Sovereign 10,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner I chose a portable over a window...

I finally ordered a steam cleaner, and I'm as nervous about using it as I was when I jumped from DA to rotary the first time. Seeing the results you pros get from a steamer has me very anxious to learn how to safely and effectively use the thing. Any chance I could get some of you...

I'll be officially returned to Flight Status next Wednesday! That's the good news (well, *great* news, really). The bad news is you guys are just gonna have to carry on without Supe spoiling the forums on a daily basis. :D I'm gonna be hitting the books in a major way for my upcoming...

So after blowing way too much cash on expensive wax and every other thing related to detailing, the wife has stemmed the tide of cash flowing from my wallet. I'm a man on a budget. :( Ah well, if you look hard enough (and have good connections here on Autopia), you can still find the...

It's probably no secret that I *love* carnaubas. I *hate* the fact that cars turn into dust/dirt magnets after a fresh layer, though. Even worse, I hate the potential marring getting that dust and dirt off can cause. Detail Doc recently suggested using FK1 425 as a solution to the carnauba...

Yesterday, I did a 2002 BMW 300 series sedan. He's a repeat customer from last year who actually listened to the car wash advice I gave him; he only used touchless automatics to wash his car ever since I polished it. That was a year ago. Imagine how surprised I was when the car showed up with...

There's been alot of talk here recently about CRSpotless systems. Everyone that uses one seems to be very happy with them, however the cost of entry is very high. Here's how I'm putting together a CRSpotless type system for..... 99 bucks!!! yup, 99 bucks for a system that should work just...

I really haven't been very happy with dedicated interior car cleaners. Most of them leave some sort of unwanted residue, and I *really* hate the ones that leave that shiny crap behind. I *hate* shiny interiors. So lately I've been using ONR diluted to regular car wash strength. It certainly...

Well, my first pot of Vintage lasted just about a year. I have enough left for a couple more layers, but at the rate I've been going through it lately, that's not gonna be long. So I guess I better call Diane and get my crystal sent back in for a refill. A few questions: 1. How much...

I've never done interiors except for my own cars. My latest Charger has a few problems in the interior that I'm going to need you guy's help with in a big way. It was a "showroom floor" car. Every greasy hand in the neighborhood found it's way into the interior of this car. I really didn't want...

I just got three of the blue 3M waffle foam pads. They are 8 inchers. The biggest backing plate I have is still too small for them. I'm wondering if the new Meg's backing plate, I think it's the w66, is big enough to use with the 8" 3M pads? Sheesh, I thought I had just about every size backing...

OK, the new roll-over, Amazon-based underline ads that look like links are really annoying. Is there anyway to turn them off? I tried going to the Amazon link in the bottom right hand corner, and there was a link to stop them tracking your personal information, but no link to turn these darn...

I ordered some QD and a quart of M105 from meguiars.com early Monday morning. As of right now, neither item has shipped. Is this normal for meguiars.com to take so long to ship? I'm thinking seriously about calling and canceling the order. Instead of ordering the QD, I'll save the money and put...

I apologize if this has been asked and answered. I did a brief search and didn't see it anywhere... As the title says, did I get the right stuff? 3M's product line names are almost as confusing as Menzerna. It's like they have the same stuff relabeled under a bunch of diferent names...

I'm out of PO106FF (my mainstay), and I'm waiting for my Ultrafina to arrive (UPS shows that it's "out for delivery", yay!). So today I'm using 1Z Hochglanz. I used it a bit last week on a Suburban. Today it's got it's work cut out for it; I'm using it as a "jeweling" polish on the hood of my...

I placed my very first order with Pak Shak late last Thursday night. I ordered a Flex 3403 rotary from them. Their price wasn't the best. Neither was the shipping. However, my customer service experiences with them so far have been great. I received a "ship and click" confirmation email from...

For those of you thinking, "Oh great, we get a few months break from Supe, and now he's back and posting yet another rant about how wonderful touchless washes are.", you're right! But I just can't help it... bear with me through one more? :) I've been on a quest to develop the closest thing...

Foamer Attachment Camspray That's the original Cam Spray foam cannon. The link to everypressurewasher.com that is floating around here in many threads is wrong. Everypressurewashr.com replaced the Cam Spray model with some new make/model. If you want The Original Cam Spray Foam Cannon, check...

My Cam Spray foam cannon isn't producing foam like it used to. It's kicking stuff out that is closer to a Glimore gun that attaches to a regular hose. I noticed last fall that it wasn't working as well as it had been. Now it's even worse. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so were you...
