    Making Websites Google-able

    Okay, so I finished the website (PM me if you want to be a helpy-helperton and review it) but it seems as though making new sites searchable by Google may be harder than one would think. The only thing possible for me to do was a framed format, but reading after completion of the site's layout...

    740iL

    Nothing special, but she did receive a WG Auto Bathe bath followed by FD. UPP one month ago. I was playing around with placing my Maui Jims in front of the lens for direct sunlight days and I would say that it warms up the pictures quite a bit (the whole reason for taking this picture).

    Attempting to Teach

    This is my sister's sled so yes, the black marks are from assorted accidents. I was trying to pass on some Autopian methods to my brother (in town for Spring Break). His truck gets some Wolfgang action when my doorstep gets some love. Yes, I slipped on the front wheel wells. If I say it, you...

    AIO found another purpose

    This is a fairing by Yakima. For the concrete jungle dwellers, it blocks the wind and quiets my ski racks. It is 4 years old and has the scratch resistance of a compact disc. Why did Yakima decide to craft them out of this material? I realized that the grey look was detracting from the...

    Forever Black...

    ...for a while, anyway. I just received the Forever Black with my Klasse because of morbid curiousity. Mother's Back in Black worked well on my rear bumper trim but faded quickly and wouldn't TOUCH this side piece. Here is the before: Here is the after--somebody mentioned using a...

    DACP Ineffective

    (for me) Last night, I used DACP for the first time with the PC and a CMA yellow pad. Applied a 4" line of product directly to the paint and worked until nearly dry. I have the 5" pictures but will post those this weekend when I can get the 5' pictures. Problem: DACP didn't appear to...

    Help a Brother Starting Out

    Both of my threads were swept away to the Autopian triangle so I'll condense them: 1) Aside from flyers, what are effective marketing aids to distribute in parking lots (ie: magnets, etc...)? 2) I need a website. I can tackle most things "computer" and wondered if Frontpage will do an...

    Final Detail v. Final Inspection

    Newbie-Style Question: FI has no carnuba. FD has carnuba. People like FI. People love FD. Is the no-carnuba benefit of FI *only* seen if using a qd between layers of sealant? I've been using only FI because of warnings of using qd's with carnuba with sealants. Basically, if using qd...

    Pre Business Plan Questions

    As the spam says, I want to "fire my boss" before leaving for grad school next fall. I've checked out score.org and am close to putting together a business plan. Advertising, flyers, magnets, and websites will come later, but before I can even put together the business plan I need guidance...

    NXT on white (56K--watch out)

    I know, I know. Everyone has their own opinion of NXT. Mine in a nutshell: 1) Convenient--OTC always is. 2) Slick--similar to S100 in this aspect. 3) Liquid, so application by PC is easy. 4) Removal not as easy as EX--compare to removal of #20. 5) Depth is admirable. With that out...

    PC + APC+ = Clean Carpets?

    I did a search for the little carpet attachment for the PC. As it yells at me when I try and search for "PC" and further, as no one ever says "Porter-Cable," I couldn't find any relevant topics. -disclaimer done The little brush disc from CMA looked like a good idea for the carpets plus my...

    Hooray for 55 degrees and (some) sun!

    First tests with FP and the PC for me. My Jeep lives indoors, so IP was not necessary. I washed with EO, then applied the FP onto the much-debated orange pad from CMA. The PC stayed between 3.5 and 4.5 and I worked each area until the product almost disappeared completely. As promised, the...

    Okay, okay. QEW does indeed rule.

    DISCLAIMER: I know they are Glamour Shots-style photos but with 2mp, you can't get much out of close-ups. Please don't flame the player, flame the game. The little lady's sled gets fairly decent upkeep with my constant nagging so no brush washes and occasional #26. I just (yes...

    Lexus LS owners...

    How do you apply Aquapel/Rain-X etc. to your windshield with the wipers lying dormant below the hood? I'm pretty sure the wipers shouldn't touch the glass before it is buffed clean. Some Mercedes do this too, but they have a "winter mode" letting the wipers rest higher and you can raise them...

    Wheel Clearcoat MIA

    Since I have a writing sample to complete, I was detailing my wheels and throwing another layer of Finish 2000 on them (you can't give crappy sealants to the homeless). For some reason, this has eluded me until now--the clearcoat is gone on two of the four oem alloys. This was the assumption...

    I'm a Rain-Ex--Aquapel question

    Used Aquapel for the first time today and will get to judge wet performance tomorrow. Question: On many to most of the aquapel application posts, people report a bit of hazing, perhaps some bubbling, and difficulty removing the aquapel. I applied the aqp only to the windshield and got two...
