So, can I ask why ink for a $100 printer costs $90? I can count on one hand how many times I've used my Epson printer. It's about 3 years old. It never works. Every time I want to print one page it's a fiasco. Replaced all the ink a year or so ago. About 6 mos ago I went to print something out...

How to Install Tire Letters - /DRIVE CLEAN - YouTube

Drove car 2,700 miles round trip to DF. Rained most of the way there & back. Car was filthy. Have no before picks, but sand was actually stuck all over the paint. Tires were muddy. Wheels were trashed. Paint had tiger stripes of dirt and crud all over it. Anyway, used like 6 products to clean...

I wasn't comparing it to clay bars - but what's commonly called a clay block. I'm still in the camp that believes mostly "you get what you pay for". Sorry, I don't believe these are the same clay towels you are getting from others and Eagle One has made a supreme sacrifice of pricing them...

So, it's snowing and and I don't want to pull my BMW out of the garage so I can angle it to one side to polish the doors - because I don't want to get the wheels all wet. This sux. Any other first world problems out there?

Parking can sometimes dictate events in my life. I'm going to a concert on the way home from Detail Fest in Maryland. The show is at a bar/club near the Inner Harbor. So, I'll be staying in downtown Baltimore. Oh ####. That means, I'll be in my BMW - and have to PARK it somewhere in downtown...

Moore's Mobile Detailing in Langley, BC 1-888-856-2526 - YouTube

I was one of the lucky winners of the HD / 3D Autopia contest to win a free product. The product I choose was HD Express. This product is a spray wax / gloss enhancer or "gloss enhancing quick wax" as they call it. They were kind enough too also include a sample bottle of HD Dress - their...

Nah, it's comes attached to what looks like a modified electric leaf blower: But, you can just buy the "wand" for 30 bills and rig it. Dunno. I see my Master Blaster blowing that wand right across the parking lot.

I agree with Ron. Once the damage is done, no "LSP protection" can be applied that will do much to stop it from spreading. However, I have an option for you for the roof. If I was looking to "better this" on the cheap, I would cover the area above the windshield with metallic black 3M Di Noc...

So, my go to "clay" for a couple of years now has been the Chemical Guy's Clay Block / Ultima Elastafoam / Magna Sponge thingee. I'm not sure if all these products are identical - but they are sure damn close. The one I have came directly from CG's: This thing has served me well, doesn't mar...

I've been using Pinnacle Synergy as the wax on my daily driver since the summer. I've used Collinite, etc... and have decided Synergy lasts longer than any of them. I've been neglecting my DD because the weather here has been terrible: lots of snow and salt. Last winter I used Collinite 915 as...

Ron's thread inspired me to post this. I quit wrenching sometime around 2000 and some of my specialty tools have been in storage. I haven't seen them until last Monday when I decided to unpack them and clean them up - as they were still as greasy and filthy as I put them away the last time I...

I currently have an XPel pre-cut clear bra on my black BMW that's about 4 yrs old. I'm thinking of getting a non pre-cut on in the summer, because they look better to me. A couple of questions. 1. I only want/have 1/3 the hood covered. Can they do this without razor blading my paint? Can a...

The Top 5 Worst "Upgrades" For Your Car - YouTube I agree. Some I'll add for honorable mention: - Lambo doors (unless of course, if you drive an actual Lamborghini) - Wipers that look like this: - Skull shift knobs (unless your last name is Munster or Adams): - Don't even know what...

So, a few moths ago I did a complete brake job on my Pathfinder. New brakes (Wearever Gold - Advance Auto), Wearever brake rotors, 4 x 4 service, new hardware, new bearing seals, etc... Against my better judgement, I picked this particular brand of pad because it was all that was available at my...

Some Background: Leather is a PIA. Quite frankly, I don't really like it on seats. It looks and feels nice on a brand new car... But over time it shows wear, cracks, scuffs, and creases worse than any quality cloth seating does. Light color leather easily transfers dye from your jeans. All one...

Most of us have realized by now, nylon bristle brushes are probably not the best to use on well maintained aluminum wheels. So, this opens the door to use a boar's hair brush. Boars hair is natural fiber, and has been proven to not scratch body paint if used correctly - so since most wheel...

So, I know I've posted before about the automotive repair business and mechanics doing sloppy & rushed work. This isn't just me looking from the outside in, but I worked as a flat rate tech for 7 years - so I've seen it first hand. While I don't let nobody do nothing to my cars if I can help...
