    Boat Detail

    I'm familiar with doing decent car details, but don't really know where to start. Bought a boat last year, and I don't think it's even seen a coat of wax in it's life. It's been sitting in the water most of it's summer life so has a definate grime/seaweed line that i have no idea what to...

    Simoniz Micro Fibre Wash Mitt

    Is this thing any good? Up here in Canuck land the only real place I have found thus far to get wash mitts is Canadian Tire. To this point, I have been using a Simoniz real lambs wool wash mitt, and am not overly fond of it. It only lasts maybe 6 months, and sheds. Has anyone tried the micro...

    SEC with PC?

    Well did my first run with the PC on the 'rents car. Wow, is all I have to say - if you are sitting on the PC fence, JUMP off and buy one, it's definately a must have. Did DACP, SEC topped with S100. Got rid of, I'd say, 85 to 90% of the swirls. Considering just how bad this car was, it's...

    "new" Pc 7336

    Went into the city to buy a 7336 today. Decided to hang on ($254 canadian is SO overpriced). However, the styling of the 7336 isn't what I remember and see pictures of. Instead of the one handle grip that you grab on to, it had a grip that went around almost half of the unit. Also, the speed...

    Water Spots

    Ok guys, I need some serious help here... I've tried everything, but the water spots are killing me. I've tried the ultimate drying technique - pakshak towels aren't absorbant enough - they leave waffle weave water spots. I have to end up drying the car by hand - and the freakin scratches...

    Suggestions for sporty ride less than 27K

    Here's my situation.... Gonna be selling my '97 Prelude. Was thinking about getting the new 6 speed Accord, but after actually seeing one... I don't like it. I don't drive my good cars in the winter due to the horrid local winter climate where the roads are turned into salt pits, so it's...

    New Car time

    Well, got to thinking this past week about my new car purchase I intend to make in the not so distant future.... I currently drive a 1997 Prelude, nimble and quick. Was contemplating the new V6 Accord then got to thinking - instead of spending 35000 (canadian), why not get a 2001 SVT...

    Zaino topped with S100

    Went out today and purchased some S100. Topped half the car with S100... didn't notice a difference at all. Perhaps it was my technique (use included sponge pad in up/down strokes then side/side, let dry for 3-5 minutes, get it off), I don't know. I have pics if anyone is interested, but I...

    Cats Cats Cats

    <rant> Oh my god, do I hate cats. My grandmother has these three crazy outdoor cats, and us with no garage..... needless to say, claw prints are a BUGGER. I've got a car cover, however when I come home and it's raining I obviously can't put the car cover on. Wake up in the morning - and...

    Swirl Marks (for the umpteenth time)

    Like many other black cars out there, I've got a problem with swirl marks that I would LIKE to get rid of myself. However, it appears to me my best method of attack is SMR and a PC RA. That's expensive to just get rid of swirl marks ($300 canadian). Any other means by hand? Wanna keep my...
