    Is it possible....

    Is it really possible to "seal in" streaks? Heres the situation: Last night I S&W'ed my vehicle. I used the S&W pretty heavy, mostly due to bug residue. Generally, when I will use it heavy like that, I follow up with another MF towel immediately to try and remove any streaking that I might...

    Problems Getting to Site?

    Is anyone else having problems getting to the site? For the past few days, I have been getting a message that the requested URL could not be found, etc. Is it just me, or is there some site maintenance going on, or something else?

    Product Review: The Edge Shmitt

    Somehow, I miraculously won the November prize drawing from AutoGeek (thanks to Jen for being the bearer of good news). It’s one of the few times I’ve ever won anything in my life, so I was pretty happy. Anyways, the prize was a couple of Shmitts – the white (for washing) and the black (for...

    Product Review: Poorboy's Bug Microfiber Towel

    About a month or so ago, Steve A.K.A. Pooroby PM’ed me asking if I’d like to try a “prototype” towel. I said sure, as I like being a guinea pig (actually I was quite flattered that he would want my opinions on a product). So here’s a few pics and a little write up of what I think of this new...

    Spark plug recommendations

    I have done quite a bit of research on the advantages of using "higher end" spark plugs vs. replacement OEM plugs. I have read opinions from both sides of the coin, and haven't really made up my mind as to what direction I would like to go. I seriously doubt I'd see any performance gains from...

    Quick demonstration

    I wanted to post these so Scott could see them, so here they are. He and I got together for a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon, and although we talked a good deal more than we detailed, he did get some hands on use with a PC and a Cyclo. We only really played around on the hood, but I think...

    Product Review: CG's Ultra Plush 8.75mm

    I came across these towels as I was looking for some to replace my more worn out ones that have been demoted to things other than paint work. I hadn’t seen many (if any at all) reviews on them, so I was kind of going out on a limb. I had heard that the CG MF towels were not the best quality...

    Homelink programming

    I bought a Homelink transmitter to install in my truck. It supposedly supports rolling code and is a universal transmitter, but I cant get it to work with my door openers. I know this may be a long shot, but has anyone encountered this problem and maybe has a fix? FYI, the doors/openers are...

    Product Review: RainX Bug & Tar Pre Wash Gel

    Since I had the “bug” about this product, I decided to stop by AutoZone on my way home from work to see if they had any. To my luck, Autozone had the whole line of RainX car care products in stock. So here’s my experience with the RainX Bug & Tar Pre Wash Gel. Test subject is my 2000 Solara...

    Rain-X Bug & Tar Pre Wash Gel

    Has anyone tried this product? I happened to see it advertised in Car & Driver while I was waiting in the Dr's office during lunch. I would be interested to try it. Duragloss also has a similar product. I would like to try both and see how they compare to Bug Squash. Comments??

    Educational detail - 56K warning

    On Saturday, I helped a friend clean up the paint on his truck. He has a 2005 black Tacoma that had some wash/drying marring and a few other paint imperfections such as sap & tar. He washed & clayed the week before. When he brought it over, we gave it a quickie wash and proceeded to the...

    Winner's Circle Detailing

    Just wanted to express my feelings about the customer service over at Winner's Circle Detailing. Mr. Regan is a class act. I needed some Cyclo pads and a couple of MF towels. He Emailed me stating that I had overpaid on the shipping by a couple of dollars, so to make up for it he ran it down...

    Picture posting

    Just curious as to what everyone is using to post/host pictures they put in their DC threads. I have been using Photobucket, but it seems to resize all the pictures so small (I think anything over 1MB gets resized) as to eliminate details from the photos. Ideally, I would like to put thumbs in...

    Weekend Quickie Detail

    This is a quickie I did for my dad on his 1994 S-10 pickup. He uses it to go in & out of the woods and various other activities. It was completely filthy, inside & out, spiderwebs from washing with a brush, scratches from driving through the woods, etc., etc. I had a limited amount of time...
