...although they're probalby in India... IVR Cheat Sheet

In no way bashing a product or a vehicle type, but I'm curious. Just bought my first pick-up truck-a Honda Ridgeline. On the Ridgeline Owner's Club forum detailing section, it seems that more than half the people use NuFinish. What's up with that? Is it a common thing among truck owners...

Was looking around on E-Bay and found this store for a local Honda dealer. E-Bay Store They have a bunch of used manuals for sale for different makes / models. Hmmm... Are they taking manuals out of trade ins? Surely not! Are dealers so low that they would do this and sell them on...

Well, after 3 years and 92,000 miles, the Benz had to go! At $400-$600 a pop for even minor repairs, it wasn't worth it. So last week I picked up a Honda Ridgeline RTL in Amazon Green (photo in my Garage). I really like it so far, but detailing it is different than my little Coupe! Sunday...

So I'm about to buy a new truck. I know where I need to be on the truck (leaving $800 profit for the dealer after their kickbacks). Here's the question. Where do I need to be on my trade in (yes, I know it's better to sell privately, but i don't have the time / inclination). The pricing I've...

A few days ago, I was running my Campbell Hausfeld Power Washer and the engine quit. Sounded like it just ran out of gas (sputtered a few times first), but there was plenty of gas. Oil was fine. But... I tried to restart it, and the started cord pulls out a bit and then binds. I can get...

Found this, and since it turns a simple job (squeezing a trigger) into a power tool, thought some might be interested. :) Actually, if I'm claying an entire car, I do get cramps from pulling the trigger-especailly on vertical panels. Campbell Hausfeld Power Sprayer I dunno...might be...

So I just go to get gas a minute ago. There are a few pumps open, but one of the open ones is on the other side of a very nice looking woman getting gas. Hmm...which one should I choose? :D So I pull up opposite her, get out, there are a couple little smiles going back and forth, a few coy...

Thought you guys would get a kick out of this. Was at a trade show in Chicago yesterday & my supplier that is doing full color dye sublimation microfiber was there. This is more of a lens type cloth than a detailing cloth, but it might be good for interior windows. Haven't had a chance to try...

Here is actually what is not a bad article on MSN. Very general, but at least it's not a bunch of bad advice like most of the articles. We probably don't agree with a lot of what is said, but for the average person it's ok. MSN Article on Car Care

Okay, so here's the situation. About 18 months ago, I decided I was going to strip and polish my wheels. I'd seen it done, didn't look too hard, blah, blah, blah... I have two done so far and they look like crap-I can get them to a chrome look and they stay that way for about a week and then...

It's not a huge issue, but is there any way that the Regional Forums could stay collapsed unless you open them? It's not bad when I have my mouse, but it's a PITA to scroll through them to get to the Clubhouse on my touchpad. A single page use to show everything, but now I have to scroll. Or...

Since joining here, I've tried to become more refined in my approaches and some how got the idea that using a bug and tar remover was a :nono . Well, on Saturday, I was claying prior to polishing and had a lot of this grey tarry, claylike stuff on my rockers that just smeared with the clay...

Just found a pad that I apparently put in a Ziploc (wasn't sealed) when it was still wet. It's an LC Yellow, but now it's about 75% green:shocked Mildew, baby...mildew. It has only been used once so I hate to toss it. Can I soak it in bleach & then wash it normally? Will bleach screw it...

Okay, maybe I wasn't really 'hanging out' with her, but I did attend a luncheon in her honor today. The media around her was insane-5 or 6 TV cameras in her face the whole time. I think she said she had done 56 TV interviews in 48 hours. And she is so tiny! They list her at 5', 100 lb., but...

Maybe it's just something that I've become more sensitive to, but I see a ton of cars nowadays with severe hologramming (is that a word?) and buffer burn. I can't believe that people would let someone do that to their car and not complain. I saw one yesterday that was so bad you could see the...

Been looking for cabinets for detailing supplies & finally found one I like. Picked these up @ Costco. The 2-door base cabinets were $49 ea., and they also had a base cabinet with 3 small drawers & 1 deep drawer for $69. IMHO, they are a lot more solid than most of the MDF cabinets out there...

We'll call this a little mini-review... First of all, this is not a foam gun. 'Nuff said. This is a sprayer similar to what you would have on the end of a pressure washer or at a DIY car wash. It has a 4 oz. soap reservoir, about 24" nozzle, and 2 strength settings. Made of ABS, Rubber...

Anyone seen this yet? I just found it in the SEARS catalog. Looks like it might be good vs. leaning over from a stool. http://www.mygaragestore.com/detail.aspx?ID=53

I know there are tons of variables out there, but just out of curiosity, about how much per square foot does a garage cost to build? Maybe expressed as a percentage of cost per square foot of a house? Like if I can buy a house @ $50/sq ft., how much per sq. ft. for a garage? I'm not talking...
