    Tuesday's other project: quickie wash & shine on the Dakota

    Well, after I got the carpets done on the car (previous thread), it was time to quickly get the salt & grime off the truck, cuz I was running out of daylight in a hurry. :) It had been done up with NXT Tech Wax right before winter, and everything that was on it came off real easy with NXT wash...

    Cleaned the carpets in my ratty old car

    So I picked up a shop-vac on the day-after-thanksgiving sale, and have been itchin' to do some carpet cleaning with it ever since. Finally had a positively gorgeous day on Tuesday here, and I was even off that day. (what luck) :) I've decided to pretty much turn my old beater car into an...

    Meg's #2: Rotary only?

    Picked up some Meguiar's #2 Fine Cut Cleaner. It was on clearance, so I figured I'd add it to my arsenal. However, I notice that the directions on the bottle say it is to be used with a rotary only. Can this stuff be used with a PC? If so, how does it compare in abrasivness to DACP? Any...

    Problem viewing with Mozilla

    Don't know offhand when exactly it was that this started happening... within the past couple weeks anyway. For some reason, stuff that extends past the normal right edge of the page does not cause Mozilla to bring up a horizontal scrollbar to be able to view it. Works fine with IE. For...

    Product abrasivness & use for deep scratches

    This is kind of a two-part question, one on the abrasiveness of a couple different products, and one on what to use on some deep scratches. The bed rails of my truck are scratched up pretty bad from the previous owner not taking any care whatsoever when removing and installing the cap. Some of...

    shop vac vs. Bissell LGM

    Well, with all the great sales on shop vacs today and tomorrow, I was looking at picking one up. My question is, what works better for extraction, the heated LGCM or a 6.5 horse shop vac? I've seen bits of info here and there in various threads saying that people like one or the other, but...

    First time claying

    Well, I used a claybar for the first time on the truck today. All I can say is.... well... nothing. I'm speechless. Flabbergasted. Taken aback. Stunned. In disbelief. Staring wide-eyed and open-mouthed. In a dreamlike state. Completely immobilized. This stuff is da schizzle! (did I...

    Is any wax good over NXT?

    I've read several threads about Natty's being good to use over a coat of NXT. Just wondering, is pretty much any wax a good thing to put over NXT? Gonna do the truck up tomorrow, and I've got some NXT that I just picked up that must be tried. :D The waxes I have available for tomorrow are...

    Product comparison: A2Z vs. Orange Blast Wheel Cleaner

    Well, I was nearly out of A2Z, so more wheel cleaner was on the list when I went to the store. I found, right near it, Greased Lightning's Orange Blast Wheel Cleaner. Larger bottle, and cheaper, so I figured what the heck, I'd give it a shot. The Products: For the best direct comparison, I...

    $2.99 for a jug of NXT wash? Seriously? Yep.

    Stopped by the local Advance Auto Parts this afternoon to see what sorts of products they had on the shelf. Lo and behold, they had NXT wash at $2.99!! Didn't seem to be a sale price or anything, it was a regular yellow shelf tag. I prolly shoulda picked up two at that price, but the one will...

    Greetings and Salutations! (tm)

    <delurk mode ON> *POOF!* Well, after poking around a few other places on the web for detailing info, I seem to have come across "the place to be"! :) Been lurking for the past few days, gleaning a bunch of useful info, so it's time to show myself. I've always liked to keep my car (red '91...
