    First Impressions (Dynabrade DA Rotary Tool)

    Well the installer finally showed up today to do my PPF (more on that in another thread). He's a mobile detailer and while working on my Audi he mentioned he had the Dyanabrade DA Rotary tool in his trunk (mounted on my favorite machine DW 849) and I could try it out if I wanted. Said he's...

    SwirlBuster Pad came today. all I can say is

    Wow, I though the LC Orange pads were firm and boy is it thick. I like the size though, looks like it's gonna be a perfect fit for a few panels on the Audi that I can't use my 8" pads on I only got one to try out so I have to figure which polish to use it with. OCP Hi-Temp LCL TOL Power...

    Getting a re-paint on the front end (maybe Clear Bra after)

    I brought my A4 Ultrasport back in Sept 04 new of the lot and like any good Autopian have kept her to the "ooh's and ahh's" standard. Despite the work required and it's frequency nothing looks better (IMHO) than a car with Black Paint when it's poppin. Trouble is all the leading parts of...

    Got my Foamer today, now I need some foam

    I brought a Kracher Foamer attachment for my Electric PW from them. I usually use Meg's Gold Glass but am thinking it may not do the trick in this application. What Shampoo do you guys with foamers use? I'm looking for something that will take down the road salt/spray and dirt with...

    Rain-X Ultra Wax

    Well I figured I'd start prepping my 16" Winter wheels and swap them with the 18" I'm running for warm weather. Went to Pep Boys tonight looking for some Collinite (which they did not have) so I got this Rain-X Ultra Wax instead. Says it's supposed to help repel sleet, snow, mud and rain...

    So, when dating, your car and its condition play a role

    Was reading CNN this morning when I came upon this article about a survey on cars and dating. And people tell me I'm wasting time keeping my whip looking sooo good. I mean it's just a car right? Yeah right ;)

    Flock me, paint lifted on my front bumper

    Well I was out and about in the garage this weekend doing my winter prep detail session when I decided to go for the front bumper on my Brilliant Black '05 Audi A4 UltraSport. It's a shame that this car is only a year old and that bumper looks like it's seen several. Anywho I was putting...

    Karacher PW Issues

    Well just in time for Winter when I really need it most my Karacher Electric PW (K 3.97M) has something wrong with the pump. Once it builds up pressure it starts to cycle off and on like it's gonna blow up. Damn I just brought this thing in Febuary. Well I have 3 options. 1) Take it to the...

    Player got played..

    Well I thought I would wash my car today without the DI-water and worse yet in the sun. Two things I try never to do as the water here has so much cholrine in it when you get out of the shower it smells like you were at the pool and we all know the hazards of washing a car in the sun. I...

    That new-car smell might be toxic

    Came across this article today and found it interesting as I've always loved that smell. Seems the smell is generated by products which contain high VOC's (we all should be familar with that term by now) and the Japanese Auto makers are set to do something about it. You can read the entire...

    Well this isn't 'bout detailing and I'll probaly get in trouble but...

    There are some good people in our country who are hurting right now down South. The destruction in some parts is total, the loss of life incalcuable as of yet and those who survived have no where to go, no food, clean water, and many have even lost hope for the future as everything they've...

    Well I finally figured out how to clean OCP/CCW completly out of my pads

    Didn't have much luck with either dish soap or MF Cleaner (soaking mixed with water or putting product directly on the pad and washing them that way). Well tonite after washing the car I decided to drop my pads in the 5 gallon wash bucket w/2 oz of Megs gold. I use one wash bucket and two...
