I think it's broken. Is this covered under warranty? My SSR2 is also starting to have similar issues. :lmfao :howdy :rofl :bump Time for another order, I guess... hehehe edit: And yes, that is evidence in that second pic of me having stuck my finger in the bottle to...

So I was out shopping for a new computer chair today... :) Found one that is very, very comfortable, and very nicely priced. (Clearance from $199 down to $99) The only drawback is that the way it is upholstered, the cushion is wrapped with leather separately from the actual base of the chair...

The friend whom I usually detail with has recently informed me that several of his neighbors, after seeing us out detailing our own cars in his driveway, have inquired about getting theirs done. So, we've decided to make up some price lists and pass them around. We've pretty much got our...

Well, a friend backed into my car in his driveway today. So, I'm wondering if anybody knows of a good (actually, better than just good) body shop in the Cincinnati/Northern KY area. This Nighthawk Black Pearl, I'm guessing, is not going to be an easy color. :) -Kaos

Well, after much ado, my new car is finally home. W00t! :howdy For those that like the story behind the pictures, here it is: My '91 Lebaron finally suffered a fatal transmission breakdown in November with 193,000 miles. No biggie, I thought, I'd just stick with the truck for a while. The...

Now that I have a nice new car to take care of, I decided it was finally time to get down to putting together a kit to keep in the trunk. Stopped at Wally World today to pick up some bottles and a tote, and here's what I ended up with: Spray & Wipe Spray & Gloss Bug Squash (full strength...

Hey Steve, I was just about to send you a PM with this question, but thought that some other folks might have the same curiosity I do... :) Just wondering why it is that different but similar products specify different applicators. For instance, waxes are almost always applied with a foam...

Anybody else picked up the Wolfgang clay kit? (the one with clay, lube, and 2 mf's) I just opened mine up yesterday, opened up their box that says "6 oz." on it, and found inside a bar of clay almost imperceptibly larger than the 100g one that I usually use from the Clay Magic kit. 6 oz, being...

I got some time today to start a little on the detail on my new black '06 Accord coupe. Washed and clayed, then hit it with SSR1 on a blue Edge polishing pad (PC), figuring that should be plenty sufficient to take out the few dealer-induced swirls. (And yes, I made sure they didn't wash it...

Trying to remember, what's the generally-accepted best LSP for black? Was it Souveran? And what under it? EX-P? UPP?

So. 11 days till I trade my truck on a spiffy new Accord coupe. Today I'm heading out to go to lunch, just come out of the apartment complex, and something goes "pop" and starts making a horrific grinding noise as I'm rolling down the road. So I head off down the street to Car-X and drop $318...

Apparently my thread from the old server didn't make it over, so I'll re-ask. :) Picking up an '06 Accord coupe in about a week and a half :yay and wondering what's best for the interior to keep it looking as brand new as the day I pick it up. Leather: Just use something like the Lexol...

Hi all, Well, with the price of gas the way it is, and the fact that I still don't own a house, which was the entire reason for purchasing my V8 4WD 14MPG-on-a-good-day truck two years ago, I've decided to trade it on something that gets better mileage. I've settled on a new Accord EX V6...

Now that spring has sprung, I am breaking out all the great products I've picked up over the course of the winter after reading lots of info here. Something I've noticed with the SSR2 I have: It's kinda chunky. It doesn't seem to affect the results at all, just looks wierd. The product...

For those who aren't familiar with what Trim Restorer is capable of: Steve, this stuff rocks!!!! :bow I wish I had a "before" pic of the black textured plastic trim piece below the windshield where the wipers mount. It was all rainbow-colored and ugly looking. It's a gorgeous shiny...

Couple of questions that have come up from another thread that I wanted to throw out over here and get Steve's thoughts... Heard that you recommend priming the pad with just the product itself, not water or QD, etc.? That's what I thought I remembered, and that's what I did, but the pads (edge...

Well, the truck accessories place finally got my flasher unit in, and I was able to install my clear corners and LEDs. They really make the truck look a lot cleaner in front, and the LEDs look great. I swapped out all the 3157 bulbs with LED replacements (front parking/signal and rear...

Went out to do some polishing with the PC today. I had a few issues that I wanted to run by the experts before I continue. :) Current condition of paint: Started with SSR2 and polishing pad. (Have the Edge 2k package from Dwayne) It wasn't doing much, so I stepped up to Menzerna IP...

Was out working on the truck today, and quickly ran out of daylight. Before I did, though, I was able to break out the new PC and pads. Used SSR2 with the blue Edge 2k polishing pad. Took a lot of swirls out, but there are still quite a few deeper ones left. My question is, do I step up the...

Well, to go along with my all-new-for-spring detailing setup (new products, PC, and much knowledge gleaned from the halls of DC), I got myself a good setup for a wash hose too. I picked up the idea of the section of hose cut off at the end so there's no metal pointing at the vehicle out of...
