    On the way back

    Hey all! I had rotator cuff surgery the end of March and had no idea that the recovery time was so loooong. Well, at my age anyway! :) It took 2 months before I didn't have pain 24/7. It went down to maybe 8/7. Last weekend was my first attempt at working hard with my right arm and so far so...

    Headlight polishing cordless drill

    Hope I'm in the correct forum for this. Well, it finally happened. My cordless drill, a 14.4v B&D, which was used for headlight polishing offsite and of course for home duty, has been out-powered by my wife. She jammed a accessory bit-holder into the chuck and cranked it so tight, even...

    Recovering from shoulder surgery :( Later today will be my first physical therapy then I'll decide whether to return to work tonight or not. Still on the midnight shift so it was a good time to take a week or so off and fix the shoulder. Of course my vehicles suffered with me wounded but we had...

    Review: Dodo Juice Red Mist

    This is Dodo Juice Red Mist “Tropical” Protection Detailer. I won it in a giveaway by AutoGeek, so I thought the least I could do is review it. If you read my other review on DoDo Juice Time To Dry, you’ll know a few things about me. One, I’m a Frugal Detailer. Two, although I really appreciate...

    Dodo Juice Time to Dry Drying Detailer Review

    Recently I won a giveaway of Dodo Juice products by Autogeek, so I thought I should give a review of said products. Although I really, really appreciate the free products, I will give a totally unbiased review of the products. After all, I do "neutral and detached" for a living! :) First, let me...

    Pop-up canopy bargain

    So I went to Home Depot with the wife for a piece to fix the water hose that I had just ruined, and, at the end of the hose aisle, sitting all by itself, was a slightly torn-up box of a QuickShade canopy, 12 x 12, marked at $44.00! I have 2 of the same make 10x 10's, and they're great, but just...

    Optimum polish consistency

    I bought Optimum Polish on BOGO a month or 2 ago and just used it today. When I went to shake it, nothing happened, no liquid sound. I unscrewed the top to look, and that stuff is thick! So thick, it won't shake or move. Both bottles are the same. I ask because I traded someone some other...

    Headlight sealant question.

    After restoring clarity to a headlight, what would be a good sealant to apply? Should clear coat be applied? Does a clearcoat have UV protection? Does any sealant? Thanks!

    Scary in Philly

    I'm visiting my eldest in Philly and watching the parking habits here. I've come to the conclusion that I'd hate to be a detailer in Philly. The streets are very narrow and of course parking is parallel. I've watched a couple of cars park and it was Bang - bump the car bumper behind; Bang -...

    Towel separation fever

    First it started with accumulating massive amounts of MF towels. Although I had tons of MF, there's always a better towel, a plusher towel, a more "water hungry" towel to purchase. Waffle weave or plush? Thick pile or thin? Thick on one side and thin on the other? Or dedicated thick ones and...

    Black boat, er, limo done

    I was going to post just a hyperlink to this job posted elsewhere but I read the other day that some people here aren't subscribed to other forums. So forgive me if you've seen this already elsewhere, but I wanted my DC chums to see this. It's not a job up to standards, but I had to work within...
