Guys, the WiFi section is completely dead on my son's iPhone 3GS (iOS 5.1). I'm trying to figure out if it would be possibe to do a reverse tethering strategy (Win7 computer providing internet connectivity to iPhone, not vice versa). It seems like I should be able to connect the iPhone to his...

I spent some time this weekend trying to polish my wheels while they are off the car during the winter season. I cleaned the wheels a week ago so I "thought" I was starting with clean wheels…this was not a cleaning task, but a polishing task. It turns out that the first set of wheels soiled my...

OK, this is kinda random, but I bought some of the 303 washer tablets that you mix with a gallon of water and have that in the cars now. They provide ample warning about a complete lack of anti-freeze characteristics and that one would need to compensate. So, any suggestions on how much...

Here is my weekend project. We spent a couple hours cleaning up my 2011 Audi A4 and doing my classic winter prep. I recently purchased Uno and Poxy and used that on approximately 3/4 of the surface area. I did the remaining 25% of the car with my "known" preferred combo consisting of KAIO as...

Guys, I see that CAP (auto parts) is having their sale on their consumer-targeted supplies. So, they are a big vendor of Mothers, Meguiars and stuff like that. I believe it's 10% off, perhaps some other level of incentive beyond that. I go to the Milford store - - they have a very...

Bill D. and I have been discussing the challenges of cleaning interior glass. I've been having some issues maintaining the interior glass on my car, I've been experiencing serious hazing (I suspect off-gassing, car is fairly new) and the rear window is next to impossible to reach due to a low...

Have any of you ever used your PC for sanding wood, metal, etc? I haven't but am about to embark on a mission: I'm going to try to sand a metal (outside) door that's got some semi-serious rust on. I've purchased some #60 grit 5" discs that are intended to be used with the hook 'n' loop plate...

I got my new car this past week. It took just four weeks and 6 days to arrive in the USA from the time we ordered - - basically 4 weeks early! The car is a 2011 Audi A4 quattro (8spd, Premium Plus, Sport Pkg, Micrometal, Exhaust Tips) in Quartz grey metallic with grey interior. The car was...

Review: Autoglym Acid-Free Wheel Cleaner (I believe this is the commercial version of Autoglym’s Custom Wheel Cleaner which is marketed in 500mL bottles) I bought this 5L (~ 1 1/3 gallons) container of wheel cleaner a couple of months ago, retail price is $60. I purchased it directly...

Guys, I was in Ocean State Job Lot (Medway, MA) a couple of days ago and noticed they had E-Z UPs available for sale. The smaller one was $60 and was probably 10’ x 10’. They had a much larger unit for $130. This appeared to be a good deal. I didn’t get too close to them for fear of the...

(this could have been posted in the "Detailing the Man" ;) or "Good Deals" forum) I’ve had a pair of old car washing boots forever and the material has been falling apart over the past year or so due to age. No big deal, they’re probably 15 years old. I’ve been scouting around for a while...

I’ve been using this product for about 7 months now. I applied it to my ’08 Honda back in April and it has held up remarkably well. The product has two key attributes that have high appeal to me: Sheds dirt, road junk very well (this is the product REJEX should have been) Painted surfaces look...

Guys, where can I find the small diameter pads that can be used with the EDGE adapter on my Makita? Do I have to buy the small backing plate and pads or are there pads that connect directly to the EGDE 2k adapter? I see Gloss-It has the "backing plates" but they're $$$: Gloss-it 3 and 5...

This is the latest edition to the fleet. It's an '06 Audi A6 Avant with less than 20k miles. I'm wondering if anyone has found a product that would work well on these integrated chrome roof rails. They show quite a bit of acid rain staining. So far I've tried some Deep Chrome and also FK215...

Looks a bit cheap. Priced at $30. I think I'd spend the extra $10 to get the real deal from Gilmour with adj soap regulation. Foaming Sprayer - Cleaning Tools - Car Washing - Car Care - Griot's Garage
