*Disclaimer - this is a $3,000 pickup, I would not do this to a decent vehicle or anything metallic without serious skill. As many of you know, when I bought this truck it has some fugly graphics on the side. I tried to remove them, but they etched into the paint. While it is a "beater" its...

So on my new to me S10 was brought home with some ridiculous tire shine on the tires. No biggie, We`ve bought numerous new and used vehicles over the years and it all came off. Not this time... This was after one application of Zep Fast 505 Degreaser and two full strength doses of Meg`s...

So I was originally going to trade in my Jetta and get a new Frontier. Realizing I`d hardly ever use it as a truck, why have a high payment on something I don`t use right. One owner, 148K, 4-cylinder. Does the hauling junk and lumber I need and I keep the Jetta to go to work. Plan on removing...

So, I'm credit card shopping at the moment. We've had Chase Slate for over 14 years and its been 25% since I last remember. Fought with them earlier this week to get it lowered. Never missed a payment, always payed over minimum. Nothing they could do for me, ok, that's the way it was going to...

Just a 40 minute ride into town... So far my front bumper is going to need some serious touching up and my plasti-dipped grille is chipped up from the rock. So far this year I've been through the touchless 10 times and desalt 5 times. Estimated $150 in 3 months. I give up! I have been to...

So we have this old Ranger at work that used to run around less than 5mph at a manufacturing plant for 5+ years. Last one it's just been sitting, so you can imagine. Work was slow yesterday, so the boss said make it shiny. Uh, ok? There was too many RIDS to make it look showroom, so I did a one...

I know some of you guys are hardcore and will wash your car in a blizzard with temps of -10*F, but that's only some. With our recent storm I still haven't seen the hose spigot yet with the snow pack. I have become fond of the touchless automatic carwash in town. I mainly use it for the...

So let me start off by saying we are very fortunate, I have a very good job, so does mother. I work for a company that sub contracts maintenance (conveyors, etc.) to FedEx facilities all over PA and Upstate NY. I'm one of the few guys who does not mind traveling, so I get to go to NY and...

So things in my current neighborhood are really aggravating us, so it is time to move. Found a nice three bedroom house with full basement and nice garage for not much more than we are paying for this 2 bedroom, no basement or garage. Its been updated throughout and even has a new roof. It is a...

...to be a really great product. I know I'm going to get flack for this, but alot seem to have to have the latest and greatest/expensive product. I applied Poorboy's Liquid Natty's Blue back the beginning of April. Took this picture this morning and it's still beading great!* Car has been...

So, on our move back to PA from MS the Equinox decided it wanted to pop its intake gasket which in turn later needed a head gasket with it even though it never overheated. Same time everything else was going wrong with it, so it was time to part ways as repairs would have cost more than it was...

...well detailing rut that is. Couple years ago the detailing bug really hit me. I swear I was out every weekend doing something, even in the 110* Mississippi sun. The past year, I've felt like doing.... nothing. The last time I've applied a sealant to one of our vehicles was back in July 2014...

Noticed this when I was grabbing lunch at the local grocery store...

This is a good friend of mines truck. It's their "good" vehicle they use for trips or to Sunday church. It only has 22,000 miles on it and is in great shape. Recently due to some family disputes it had been parked under a tree for the early part of spring. Don't have too many photos, this was...

So, this is a rarity in my parts. North Carolina residents will certainly understand. Cheerwine Soda is a rarity outside of the Carolina's; we used to get it when my grandparents lived in Naggs Head NC. When I found it at the store the other day I was thrilled. Also found 2 liters at the Piggly...

Rain and more rain. All during the week weather has been warm and sunny. Was able to get the yard in shape, everything is growing back after the nasty winter. This is the first spring maintaining this yard and its not been easy. You'll see the grass is slowly growing compared to the others. It...

Got a bunch of new stuff to try out so nothing better to do on a nice sunny Sunday morning. Pictures are meh, I changed the oil myself this time and wanted to make sure everything was ok before work Monday, so they were spur of the moment snapshots. Meg's Hyper-Wash Meg's Non-Acid Wheel...

Back in the early 2000's they had a bunch of commercials about the Tornado fuel saver. I never really thought anybody bought them. Changed the filter on the Expedition today and saw this sticking in there. I know for a fact it don't do a damn thing :lol: It might get 15mpg on a good day :lol...

...to admire the clean Expedition :D and notice something odd.... A lady was driving southbound and hit a northbound lane pole. How she done this I don't know. I saw the scene unfold, but wasn't taking pictures at that point to protect all parties. The car is a write off. Mississippi power...

Just wanted to share something interesting I found. This is my folks 2001 Ford Expedition; it is garaged 24/7 and is used only for grocery runs or the occasional road trip. It has 143,000 miles on it, but it runs like new. Anyways, I last detailed this monstrosity about 18 months ago. Clayed...
