I would like to have a list to share with friends and wondered what are the big offenders? Thanks.

Yep, the new issue of Griot's catalog arrived yesterday with Adam West and the Batmobile on the front cover. Apparently, Richard grew up a few houses away from Adam and he was a surrogate Dad of sorts. Pretty cool marketing in any event. :)

I'm curious what the early consensus is around here...is it a great product? Does it vibrate less? Is it more powerful? What do you think? I'm thinking of buying one so any objective feedback is very valuable. Thanks. Also, are there pics from the launch up?

Bret and I worked on this neighbors 911 from 1986 which for the vintage was in decent shape except for the swirls. Process was: **Chemical Guys Shampoo (Auto Gloss) **Z-18 Claying with Z-6 **(2X-3X) Z-PC via Megs or Lake Country pads. I did a cutting pad and Bret followed with his PC with...

Used this machine for the first time. This thing is really amazing. We cleaned about a dozen pads quickly and it works very well. We used a 777 APC from Autocolor and the pads came out very clean. This would be very cost effective for a professional detailer or anyone who just hates cleaning...

I've had good luck with Wolfgang Vinyl & Rubber on my interior plastic/vinyl in the past but I'm now driving my car to a lot with no garage. The Wolfgang does not seem to hold up well in 90 degree or so interior heat. I like the Z10+Z16 combination but have not tried it recently... Question...

Friends, I've been playing around with Z-PC a lot lately and I find it behaves quite differently than other polishes due to its makeup. I've really noticed some terrific performance of this polish in removing swirls on black cars. Here are some tips for getting the best out of it: 1...

This looks really cool: Stereophile:

No doubt many of us here have experimented with many products and settled on a particular product for each type of activity that we are comfortable with. Some like JW, some Zaino, some Pinnacle, etc. That's terrific as I think many of us are passionate about things for good reasons-we have...

We seem to have this problem a lot in Georgia despite very good roads. Lots of traffic lights fail and traffic snarls. Why can't backup commercial batteries be easily added? If the 9 volt battery works in my alarm clock radio, why not this more critical light. A related mystery to me...

I had fun with this one. Paint was very well done and clean with very little orange peel. Still the prior owner had left swirls and there was buffer holograming on the hood. I was able to get almost all of it out with Zaino Z-PC. Process was: Z-7, Clay, Z-7, Z-6, Z-PC with LCVC cutting...

Just a heads up that DF Towel is now carrying these great metal cleaning and polishing towels in case some are still looking for a vendor. These are the cloths I described that I use to clean my watches. One caveat: DF is claiming that these cloths will not scratch. That is not entirely...

Do you have a favorite cloud reflection pic? Here are two of mine:

Well I bought this at Target yesterday having been impressed with the regular upright vacuum my brother has which I tried recently. I'm a big fan of James Dyson's work and for some time I have been asking them to create a shopvac using their cyclone technology so when the Root 6 came out I had...

Did some winter prep on my car today with convenient and lovely 70 degree and sunshine weather here in Atlanta. We did a Z-7 soap, Z-18 claying (some dirt, not much), Z-7, Indigo Blue edgeless from AutoGeek for residue removal, then Z-PC on LC finishing pad with PC at "5" then "6". We had Z-2...

I am looking for a nice luxury ride but what are the members feelings on these two tires? The MXV4 tires are quite expensive ($165 per) but I'm worried the Pilots ($130) may be too stiff...any advice? Thanks. :)

Found a great product for cleaning watches which also works wonders on stainless steel and chrome tailpipes. The product is a resealable pouch of 2 polishing cloths roughly 3x4 inches or so for about $4.29. From a small company in Dennis, MA these do a terrific job at cleaning up metal as...

Just saw this in the new issue of Wired magazine for $150. A bit pricey but I'm intrigued about having some cyclone suction power to use on interiors. Does anyone have this?

Cleaning the acrylic crystals on Rolex watches. It works surprisingly well. :) I had scratched my hand-me down watch from my Dad up a good bit and did some research and found the crystal was actually made from acrylic. Figured I would try some plastic polishes and broke out a Wayne's...
