    Barrett Jackson Scottsdale Auction Last Nite (1/29/16)...

    auctioned off the new 2017 NSX. A Maroon Red VIN 001 sold to racing owner (and Honda Dealer) Rick Hendricks. Anyone else see this on Velocity? Car looked fabulous in HD, under camera lights and sporting a super-gloss that looked like nothing that I've ever seen before. Too bad its MSRP starts...

    WOWA Products

    Customers want/look for lower pricing on detailing labor. Skipping a step may be 1-way to get there. So... 1. I don't think there are any wowa waxes but are there some out there? 2. I know of a handful of wowa sealants. 3. BUT, are there any wipe-on-walk-away coatings besides Duragloss?

    3D AAT #501 Using Different Pads

    A specific "what if question?" to those who have used this new compound, since many new polishes/compounds are now pad dependent. 501 using a PC and Lake Country pads. I've used 501 with MF pads and got great results correcting cc scratches. Didn't even need a final polish but used HD Polish to...

    Coating Durability - Are U Getting What MFG's Are Promising?

All coating mfg's say 1 year easily. 2-3 years likely. I'm getting 1 year tops. Seems like I need to clay to rid the grittiness...

    Portable, Hoseless, Ventless Room AC's...

    They do make them for 1 room 200-300 sq feet. Cools (and heats in winter, 3-speed setting), takes the moisture out of the air and rids it by re-cycling it internally. Good for attics or rooms with no windows. I have central air but could use extra cooling in an upstairs bedroom during the...

    HD Polish + DA + MF Pads?

    What kind of light-medium cc scratch correction can I expect from this combo? 3000/2500/2000/1800/1500 grit? I'm doing my own car (2011 Honda) for a sale. Trying to save 1 step if I can. Anyone use MF pads with 3D HD Polish?

    Coldest Temps Using A Coin Op Power Wash
