I read a lot, and I found this crazy web site that is actually pretty cool. Today was a real LOL! 7 Great Products for Telling the World You're a Rich Dick | Cracked.com

OK, anyone that knows me - looking at YOU Mr. Brandon1, knows that I never cared for "ONR'ing" Why? I just never thought it was as good as a good ol regular wash and I still don't, BUT - I have softened my stand on this, I tried the new DG rinseless. And before I forget it - thanks to all the...

OK, So the wife has me sanding some 1950's era metal porch furniture. It has 3 layers of paint on it and I'm not trying to strip it to bear metal 100%, just areas like the rails that you would touch. I have a cheap Ryobi corner mouse sander; yesterday at the Home Depot (buying more 80 grit) I...

Ok, some things done twice are "nice" (wink at wife) others like this are NOT.. I had a nice coat of Nitro Seal on my daughter's car since Oct last year. I decided ok, lets wash, try out the new HD Speed and top with Poxy. OK - so far so good, the Speed went on via green pads on my Cyclo, Poxy...

OK, I got to thinking about how things are "diiferent" now for kids. I was born in 59 (that's 1959 smarty) and growing up then we didn't: have a cell phone play on a iPad, listen to a iPod chat on line have a facebook profile think cable TV was standard, along with a remote control! wear...

I tried to polish out a very rough set of wheels, used 3D, White Diamond, and Mothers, no real luck. They would look promising then haze up to crap again. I used a Powerball, and MF towels. Since the customer was more concerned with the paint, I quit the wheels and worked on getting the water...

Anyone besides me watch the over hyped crap on Discovery? I'm still trying to figure out what it was, I'm not sure but here's my random thoughts: Jesse James is a total douche bag and since he's no longer Mr. Sandra Bullock, he's trying to prove he's really a great bike builder, yeah right...

OK, I don't watch a lot of You Tube videos, the Net Nanny at work doesn't allow it and I never have time at home. However, you have to watch "People of Walmart" - both versions by JessicaF. Be warned, you may be scarred for life or have that catchy little tune stuck in your head. I wouldn't try...

I had a 2006 G35 to detail this past weekend. I got the car Saturday afternoon and washed, clayed (man did it need that!) and pulled it into the garage for a long night of buffing. Since Uno v4 is not in my arsenal yet, I was doing my MF pad combo of M105 and v3. The hood cleaned up nicely, it's...

I think I may be getting a little cranky in my middle age. But, I have to draw the line sometimes. I have on occasion invited guys/gals over to detail their cars and let them help with the detail, kind of a “sweat equity” like Amy Mathews has on DIY network. They learn and get to appreciate what...

I see the CG website (the UK version) has new polishes and pads that are very much like the Megs system. But, over on the US version, we have polishes and no pads - ***? can't sell in the US? Any Kal-e-Forn-yah detailers able to go by their store and find out? c'mon, inquiring minds want to...

I don't think I've ever heard of this one before and I could use some help. One of my best customers spilled Downy fabric softener in the back of her 2010 Toyota Sequoia, in the far back in that carpet section. It's a spot about the size of your hand. She wiped as much of it as would come up...

I know this has been around for a long time, but I just now got around to trying it. I haven't thought much about AIO's and generally avoided them since I just knew that they were not for me. Wrong! Man, that stuff works great, cleaned my paint, left a very slick shine and looks great on my...

I was getting up from the couch and had my wife's Dell laptop in one hand when it slipped. It fell while open and hit the floor (carpet), it works but has these lines- like scratches on one side of the screen. I'm kinda sick about this since it wasn't mine and I can't afford to replace right...

OK, I have a black GTI. I've been MIA from detailing for the past 6 weeks due to 3 ruptured discs in my lower back. I'm doing better and my doc says I can work on cars again. First car - mine! I do a wash and discover someone had driven over white latex house paint. That crap was in the wheel...

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only detailer that has a cabinet full of Menzerna (or another brand) of polishes and was thinking, when these run out I'm going to try M105 via KBM and see how that goes. Now, while I'm debating that, HD comes on the scene and it's wait a minute, maybe this is the...

I've used the LC CCS red pads to apply LSP's for a good while now. I decided to take a chance and get a Gold pad, man - that was a good decision! I can't believe what difference it is, if you're thinking about it - go on and get a gold pad, you will not regret it.

Ok, I 99.9% of the time, I detail daily drivers -you know, wash, clay, 1 stage polish, LSP and clean the crud off the interior. I keep my own car clean and washed, maybe experiment a little with some nubas, thought everything was good until today. I got to thinking about a post Todd wrote a...

Well, I ain't sure how much more detailing I'm going to be doing, I did something to my back, aggravated an old ruptured disc injury and doc says I screwed with my sieactic (yeah I can't spell) nerve. I'm cooling my heels at home today full of anti-inflamintories and muscle relaxers (yeah baby!)...

How many of ya'll transfer compounds, polish, sealers, etc from the stock bottle (usually white or black) to a "ketchup" bottle where you can see what's left? I do, I get these bottles locally and they are much easier to use and have the value of showing when you're running out. Is there a...
