    Goodbye Ridgeline

    End of the Line for Honda Ridgeline - MSN Autos The Ridgeline looks like it's going away. I've never really been too keen on the looks of it, but as far as creature comforts go, it was pretty nice.

    Boat wash (with another boat question)

    I know we've got some boat guys who visit (or used to, anyway). You guys got any recommendations for a strong boat wash? Mine's been covered since last September, and I want some kind of wash to try and knock some of the crud, mildew, etc off without a whole lot of elbow grease. I'm also...

    Swivel seat

    Does anyone have any experience with this seat? What about opinions (I am sure there's lots of those out there)? I am looking for something to roll around on whilst I polish lower panels and such, but looking for something that's not going to break the bank. G8752 Mechanic's Padded Seat

    Leather CPR

    Simoniz Waterless Wash

    I was browsing my latest edition of Motor Trend Magazine, and noticed the advertisements for Simoniz products. One that struck me as "I might want to try this" was for their waterless wash product (out of sheer curiosity). Anyone seen this, or better yet used it?

    Flash's Brown Royal: Initial Thoughts

    Copied from another forum where I posted. Thought it might interest one or two people over here. Just a quick thread on my initial thoughts of Brown Royal cleaner. Quick and dirty... My father-in-law got some new-to-him wheels for a Jeep he has. There was some foreign substance on the wheels...

    Undercarriage dressings

    I am curious what (if any) some of you guys are using to dress undercarriages. Sometime in May I am planning on doing a top-to-bottom on Lil Blue, and the undercarriage is one area that is going to need a lot of attention. Currently, I usually use cheap tire foam sprays. While this usually...

    Hoses

    Just curious - what hoses are you guys using to do washes with? Cheap-o garden hoses? I'm now using a Craftsman rubber hose, and I gotta say it's pretty nice compared to the Wal-Mart specials I used to buy. And it has a lifetime (or as long as Sears is still around) warranty. :bigups

    Cheap wheel barrel brush

    As an alternative to more expensive brushes, I decided to try a little backyard engineering and see what I could come up with in regards to cleaning the inside/backside/barrel of my rims. Here's what I came up with. Carrand brush from Wal-Mart. I took the two brushes and bent them away from...

    Prima products

    Any of you jokers tried/used Prima products? I've been reading some stuff about them around the web, and for the past couple of weeks have been interested in possibly trying out Banana Gloss. Opinions, smart-alec comments, etc? Also, where are you getting it if you've used it?

    Sheeting versus Beading

    1) What is the more preferential action of an LSP between the two? 2) How does a manufacturer design a product to sheet instead of bead? Give me the benefit of the doubt here that I know why water would bead on a surface. I am looking to see how different an wax or sealant would have to be...

    Rep Meter, Post Count, Join Date

    Just curious what everyone would think. Leave things the way they are, get rid of one or more items, etc. Just thought I'd post this up since Dwayne mentioned something about it. I'll try to make the answers self-explanatory. EDIT: Not that anything needs changing on the site in the first...
