Perhaps it's because I'm not in the humid South anymore, but... This morning, I was just doing a quick wipedown of my interior with a dry MF. After about every foot of wiping, I got a shock. Not like a 'walk across the carpet in socks' shock, but big enough to leave my arm tingling for a...

When you have to put your PC down to wipe off product / residue, what do you put it on? Of course I always lay it on it's side, but the pad still touches. I tried a spare MF towel (figured no lint, no contamination, etc.), but if there is any rotation still, it wads it up. Tried a lid from a...

Does anyone have one of these? They've been advertising them on TV like crazy recently. I need to get a ladder, but the price is rather steep and I've never seen one in person. Warner has their version out now ($99 @ Costco) and it's scary! I tried it out and it moved/rattled/shook and didn't...

I don't have this problem, but I know I've seen a few threads on it a while back. What about this soultion ? I saw it advertised on TV a few nights ago. It's not supposed to change the perscription of lenses, so I would think that it wouldn't even be noticable on a cluster dust guard. Just...

Y'know, I didn't think she'd lie to me, didn't think she'd betray me, but she did. She said there was no touching involved, but I don't know if I believe her or not. Here's the story: Two nights ago, she calls me while she's driving home from work. Her voice sounded a little nervous, like...

First, this is in no way an effort to solicit business. I am posting this because many of the pro detailers have helped me out with their special knowledge, and I thought this was a way I could give a little back. My experience as a Promotional Products Distributor goes back 13 years, working...

Here's the situation. My gf parks her car right next to a RR track (I mean right next to it-like the front bumper is 20 ft. away). There must be a train every 1/2 hour. So... Over Thanksgiving, I QEW & then go to polishing her car (Black). Using 3M MG with a yellow LC pad, I get out the...

This is in no way meant to start a war, I'm just curious... I had read a lot about using AIO as a prep for Z. One of the professionals on here was kind enough to give me a sample of it to try. Saturday, I QEW'd, then applied the AIO with a PC & a black LC pad. I wasn't sure exactly what...

Well, figured out how not to do it! After doing some spot claying, I put the little blob of clay in the pocket of my pants, fully intending to take it out later. Wasn't a big piece, just about the size of Reese Cup. ...of course I forgot. Went through the washer fine, seems that the...

Wasn't sure if this would go in 'detailing product', 'garage', or where, so thought I'd ask here. Anyone use their PC and ?? for polishing solid surface countertops? I just tried it on some high-gloss, dark green 'marble'. The PC was on 5 (then 6) with an LC yellow pad & 3M Finesse it II...

Since today was probably the last time I'll be able to wash traditionally, went looking for a bucket for QEW. I may have found the perfect one... It was at Target in the cleaning supplies aisle. It's a Michael Graves Design (if that makes you feel any better). It's a double sided mop...

I know there are a lot of non-daily driver cars on here, so I thought I'd ask this. On my Mom's XJS, there is a drain on the battery that they've never been able to find (it's a '94, so there's been plenty of time!). One place installed an electronic device that's supposed to stop drain, but...

I have literally hundreds of rock chips on my hood/front spoiler. I've touched them up carefully using paint and a bamboo skewer, but there are some that are a little outside the 'edges' and are more noticable and could stand to be leveled. There are waaaaayyyyy too many to use Langka. I did...

I've looked through the dozen (hundreds?) of threads on this and haven't found the exact answers I was looking for. A couple of questions after trying my PC for the first time... A) I was using a yellow pad + 3M Perfect-it SMR (39109) and following the instructions from Roadyfly. Sometimes...

I am thinking about stripping the paint from my sliver wheels and polishing them out so I don't have to deal with the nicks & scrapes and all of that. Has anyone ever tried it as a DIY job? There isn't any place locally that will do it. I figure that a combination of sandpaper, stripping...

I found them at Costco-an assorted 3-pack for about $7.50. One is a regular wash mitt, one a 'pad' with no hand hole, the other, a wash mitt with mesh on the back. I think the pad will work well for the wheels where you have to get in tight spaces, the regular mitt for the body, and the mesh...

Curious if anyone has one of these? I know...it's an aluminum version of a $4.99 Rubbermaid product, but it's just cool. :cool: http://www.pitpalproducts.com/detail.asp?product_id=124 Someday when I have $99 that I don't know what to do with, I think I'll have to get one...

Yesterday, I tried 303 for the first time, and had a problem. Hopefully, someone can clear it up for me. I used it on a small area of the bottom window trim (hard black plastic), applied with a foam pad & buffed off with MF. When I was done, it looked kinda funny, so I ran my finger nail...

Okay, just kidding! But now I have another Forum I'm addicted to (others being csportcoupe & mbworld). Heard about this one from AlBoston on mbworld, who has helped me out a ton of times. I'm loving learing all this stuff, and I guess it's kind of become a 'hobby' for me. It's about as...
