So in one of my recent posts, I once again brought up one of my favorite arguments: using finishing wool instead of foam for the final polishing step. TH001 (please forgive me for not remembering your name. Getting old sucks), said something about how the fibers in the wool just wouldn't allow...

As much as I loved my old yellow Dodge Charger Super Bee, when the 08 blue Super Bee came out, I just couldn't help myself. So here she is.... my latest mistake. :) Chargers are made at the Brampton Assembly plant in Canada. Then special edition chargers like the super bee go to a place...

I've ranted on and on in the passed about how I love Zymol Vintage wax, but absolutely despise Zymol HD-Cleanse. Everytime I use the stuff, I swear it'll be the last. Yet I always seem to end up torturing myself. I've been faithfully using it before Vintage every time. Partly because Zymol...

So I got a nail in my rear right tire the other day. I pulled in to Big O Tires and had them fix my flat. They put my car in the bay right next to the waiting room window, so I got to see them do their work. The guy treated my car like it was his own. I was very pleased. As he's putting my...

Two weeks ago, I was diagnosed with a rather nasty disease. The name isn't important, but the effects on me, my family, and my career, are. As a professional pilot, I have to meet certain federal guidelines regarding health. Pilots must undergo a complete physical twice per year by an FAA...

... but I don't. In fact, I think the stuff really sucks. I bought it hoping that it would be a cheaper (like, half the price) alternative to 106ff. Wow, was I wrong. The stuff looks, smells, and feels very similar to 106. It's a bit runnier, but I was thinking, "cool, better lubes!". Wrong...

So today I'm detailing a friends Infinity G35. It's about four years old, and I don't think it's ever seen a coat of wax. After claying, I grabbed the SIP, a purple foamed wool pad, and got to work. I think just about everybody that has used SIP has probably experienced a time when SIP just...

OK, you guys know me... I can't shut up. In the spirit of my big mouth comes my next product experience/evaluation/critique in absolutely *painful* detail. :) I plan on such an extensive evaluation of David's new Ultima sampler kit that no part will go unscathed. If there's so much as a typo in...

The wife's truck just takes too long to keep in good shape. The single coat of Vintage I applied back in May is finally just about gone. Rather than worry about having to wax it often during the winter, I figured I'd give the new Ultima sealant a try. While I wait for it to show up, I'd love...

I really, really wanted to buy one of the Ultima sample kits, but the wife said not only no, but heck no. Something about me having spent way too much money on detailing stuff already this year. At least, that's what I think she said, I kinda quit paying attention after the "no" part...

Here I spent months, and more dollars than I'd like to admit, to perfect the ultimate, touchless, "traditional" wash. My car was clean, and I was happy. Then you guys just had to start all those "OMG, ONR is great!" posts. *sigh* So next thing I know, I'm cautiously applying ONR at QD...

It's been an ongoing thing, trying to determine whether or not the Vintage was worth the huge hole it shot in my wallet. Today, the verdict was finally turned in: The stuff really is worth every penny. As I've said before, Zaino was my primary LSP prior to the Vintage. I loved the look and...

First summer in this house. The garage door is not insulated. It becomes a 16X8 radiant heater in the afternoons. I bet my garage is over 100 degrees for most of the day. I just noticed on the side of one of my Menzerna bottles that it says to store it between 59-77 degrees F. I do keep my...

Wow, now that's fast.... Ordered on the 21st (from England!) and it's here on the 25. I just tracked it this morning, and it still showed it was in NY, so I was getting ready to leave the house when the guy shows up for a delivery signature.. speaking of which.. to all you autopians that ordered...

I've seen that alot of the pros here use ONR, and that should be enough to convince me that the stuff is safe, but... There just seems to be something really off here... You have a dirty vehicle. You know, dirty... dirt, the stuff that's really hard and loves to scratch the bejesus out of...

OK, so I've been looking around the "User CP" trying to figure out how to change the text below my forum name from "Registered User" to.... something else... don't know what yet, but I'd like to know how to change it when I finally figure out something clever... ok, that might take a loooong...

Arrived today from AG. Man, I'm impressed with the customer service from AG. After reading Changeling's thread about 6" wool pads, I just had to get some. So last Thursday, I called up AG, and the customer service guy I talked with was very knowledgeable ( as opposed to the average CompUSA, Best...

I have a couple foamed wool pads that I have no idea how to care for. I'll be getting the Edge 6" pads soon, too, and would really like to hear how you guys care for your wool pads. I've been using Snappy Pad pad cleaner for all my foam pads. I really like the stuff. I just used it to clean...

Their web site says it is in stock. I just placed an order for two bottles. Wow, the shipping sucks. Hopefully, their site inventory is kept up to date...They do ship to the US, and they make it easy to do so as it's a menu selectable option in the check out process. Menzerna PO85RD 3.02...

Just got back from taking the kid to see Shrek III. It's not as good as the first one, although it's still worth seeing... Anyway, I'm taking another detailing break. Just finished an alcohol wipedown now that all the polishing is done, and getting ready to start the HD-Cleanse process. I'll...
