How sad is this? A woman filled her car with so much trash and coffee cups that it finally caused her to lose control and crash her car. wbztv.com - Trash-Filled Car Crashes In West Yarmouth

I read this on a Mustang forum while looking through a few threads. The original question was how to avoid swirl marks on a new black car. What causes the swirl marks is not having a clean applicator or polishing pad....the oxidized paint that comes off the car gets the pad dirty and them you...

I've been ignoring the Envoy for almost a year now. It has gotten a few one-step waxings with PwC, but nothing major. It was cool and overcast day yesterday, so I thought I'd give it a full detail. I had washed it the night before, so it was clean and ready to go. I clayed the whole thing...

David from Optimum shot me a sample of this stuff the other day and I gave it a try over the weekend. I haven't seen the stuff discussed much around here, so I thought I'd mention my findings. Keep in mind, this is a brief, quick hit of my experiences and not intended to be a full...

Here in Houston, it's been pretty dry since Memorial Day. I spent yesterday detailing the Grand Prix since it hadn't been done since the end of January. Now that it looks great, we have a 60% chance of t-storms today, 40% tomorrow and 60% on Sunday. I was planning on doing the Envoy this...

Tonight, the wife had a Southern Living Party. Since Dundee (Trained Killer Ninja Attack Guard Dog and Packing Assistant) was being a little too energetic, I got to take him outside for a bit. In our driveway was the car belonging to the girl who was helping my wife with the party. It was a...

Happy Cinco de Mayo folks. I've been celebrating this great holiday since college. Heck, I even had a stats final at 9:00 am on May 6th at Tulane and still went out ot celebrate (and celebrate I did). I think I aced that puppy too. :) Tonight's menu included beef fajitas, margaritas and Dos...

I've had this bottle of FMJ here for a while and I want to use it on the MG for the show tomorrow. I'm going over it now with SSR1 to give it that nice final polish. I'm thinking about Trying the Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze topped by FMJ. I just don't know if it is safe for fresh paint. I...

I can't seem to find the edit button? I want to fix some typos in one of my posts and I can't seem to find the edit buttont o do so.

I looked at the calandar and jsut realized that we have the MG entered in a car show on Sunday. We got it back from the paint shop on 4/5, so teh paint is still fresh. They wetsanded the car and buffed it out. I do see some residual "oil haze" left. The painter guy told me 60 days before...

In one of the forums I sponsor, I found this post in regards to detailing and clay: go easy on the claybar; it makes your car look nice but you're taking off the protective clearcoat. in a couple of years you'll look at your car and notice the color is faded, especially on the top surfaces and...

About three weeks ago, my hard drive in the main computer suffered a huge malfunction. It was only five months old, so I never really backed up the thing. Yes, I placed way too much faith in my hardware. I did back some stuff at the beginning of February, so it's not a total loss. I ended up...

I don't know if it's just me, but I see a lot of 20 sometings living at home with their parents. They have nice cars, spend a lot of money on mods, etc. and yet can't or won't get a place of thier own. I left for college after my senior year of high school and didn't go back home eexcept for...

I know many of us go a bit overboard and purchase more supplies than they really need. I only have three cars to detail and I'll never get through all this: And this is after I thinned it our by selling some excess in 2005.

The wife and I went out to dinner the other night. The owner is a customer of mine, so he wanted to take good care of us. When we got there, it was apparent he was having a bad night. When I asked him what was wrong, he told me that his cook got his finger stuck in the dishwasher. I asked...

Just when people began to think they escaped the worst-case scenario, all H-E-Double Hockey Sticks has besieged the beautiful city of New Orleans. A levee has broke, send water cascading throughout the city. The devastation is unheard of. The twin spans, two beautiful bridges, are destroyed...

How is the quality of Saab paint? I'm thinking about a 9.2x and am just wondering how the paint is on those cars. I want to wait until spring, but the price has been very nice on the 9.2x's for a while now (even before employee program) and I think it might be a car worth checking out.

In the Grand Prix forum, there is a thread on drying. Here is one post I found a bit amusing. :) I wash the car in the shade...then dry it with these heavy duty paper towels (more like throw away shop towles, they are blue) and the wax as you dry stuff, works pretty good, but when I dont do...

The Grand Prix community has a big show and race this weekend in Norwalk, OH. I've got one car in the show that I'm taking care of, so I will be driving down the Envoy as a support vehicle to out local cars at the event. Being a guy that sells wax, I can't exactly show up with a dirty truck...

You learn something new everyday. In one of the car forums I frequent, I found this gem. The claybar should remove all of your old wax. I have also heard that once the car has been clayed you can then wash it and let it sit for 5 minutes with panteen pro-v 2 in 1 for dry and damaged hair. Yes...
