    Car shampoos/washes

    I've been doing a little reorganizing over the past month and I got to the cabinet that holds my car washes. I didn't realize how many I had until I got into the cabinet. I normally buy car washes in gallon sizes but I had several that were smaller sizes. Normally I keep a couple 16oz bottles...

    Diamond Plate Dolly Connector

    I hurt my back a while back and it finally has gotten bad enough that I can't pick up the bucket and move it around when I wash cars. I've been using my dolly for my wash bucket a lot but I don't have one for the rinse bucket. I decided to order one but I have a question about the connector...

    Dallas AutoRama

    I used to put my Trans Am in this show every year but I've taken the past few years off. The show is this weekend and I just went online to see what they had planed for this year. Meguiars always sets up their huge trailer with products but this year they are doing something a little different...

    Dealer detailing

    The other day I received a coupon from a new Dodge dealership down the street from me. They've been trying to get my business for a little while now and will call from time to time to tell me about their specials and incentives. The coupon I got was for $59 oil change. At first I said that's...

    Are you a Blackfire Fan?

    I thought about Blackfire this morning when I woke up so I decided to do a test. While I still have several products I want to try so I guess I'm not done adding to the Blackfire shelf. I think the only thing I'm missing in the picture is the shampoo. It's in my bucket and I didn't want to to...

    Business names and slogans

    Saturday I was on my way to get a hair cut and I passed a truck on the highway that had an advertisement for a barbecue place on the back window. I can't remember the name exactly but it was something Smokehouse. There was a picture of a pig below the name and it said "Butts and Bones" under the...

    Nice new trick/tip

    I don't know about all of you but it seems like when I'm working and my hands are dirty my phone always seems to ring. My hands are dirty and I hate getting my phone greasy or dirty answering it. Try getting a small zip loc Baggie and putting your phone or iPad in it and seal it up. Not only...

    Better Sprayers for Bottles?

    Ive got several spray bottles and I hate the sprayers that go with them. If I want a fine must I find it hard to dial it in and sometimes it still sprays a stream if I don't pull the trigger just right. I have trouble with the Griots sprayers too, I seem to snap the trigger off the sprayer head...

    Products and their Scent

    I was trying out a sample of some tire and trim dressing this weekend and it made me think about the scent that manufacturers put in their products. The dressing I was using smelled like mint and I have to say I liked it a lot. I've used some car washes that smell like chemical and were pretty...

    Carpro Tar X Disappointment

    I originally was going to post a review of this product but I decided against it after doing a test spot. I had tar all along the driver side of my truck and I decided it would be a good day to test the Tar X sample I had sitting on the shelf. I decided to start on the worst section such was...

    Looking for a new toy

    So I've been thinking of selling the TA and getting something new. I thought about a Corvette but finding one I like that hasn't been modded is the real work. I thought about a new Camaro SS and the more I look at them the more I like them. I've liked the new SRT Challengers since they came out...

    P21s Gel Wheel Cleaner

    I used this wheel cleaner for the first time on Friday and I have to say I was very impressed. I have been using Sonax FE but as some may remember I had a problem when I used it on my TA's zinc coated rotors. I bought P2-s wheel cleaner several months ago but wanted to give it a good test so...

    Mineral Spirits on Plastic Trim?

    Does anyone know here effects of mineral spirits on trim? I've been looking at different dyes for trim and I saw one brag about containing no mineral spirits. I saw another dye that suggested thinning their product with mineral spirits for certain applications. This made me wonder about the...

    Which color LC pads?

    I'm a fan of the LC flat pads and I need to order some more. What colors do you use and what do you never use? I never use the yellow pad. Is blue with getting or am I set with gray?

    Wheel correction and Opticoat

    So i decided to spend some extra time on my Trans Am a couple months ago and the wheels really needed some attention. The centers were powder coated about 5 or 6 years ago by a friend that owns a shop. After spending time as my daily driver and just sitting in the elements and just washing them...

    Bumper repair?

    My mother has a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. Yesterday she had my brother drive (just got his learners permit) and they had a incident. He came off a curb and scraped the front bumper. It broke the edge/lip that bolts down to hold the bumper in place on the passenger side. I don't have pics but think...

    We are doing it all wrong

    I took my mom to pick her car up from the shop last week and parked next to the car below. The body shop is in a different building but same area. These were taken with my iPhone from my truck I don't know if you can tell but the white residue below the rocker panel is compound residue...
