    Plastic "Chrome" trim protection

    I just replaced some trim pieces that are around the rear tail-lights on my DD that are "chrome" plated. The old ones pused up with white spots after a couple of years (aftermarket) oddly enough not on every piece, seems the back and lower parts were the worst and the upper/side parts were still...

    The missing piece?

    So how much better will my detailing get if I order 2 (or should I go whole hog and get 3) yeti buckets? Probably need the lids as well to keep everything clean.... M

    Spray bottle deteriorated - rinseless wash

    A new one for me. I noticed that my spray bottle for rinseless was leaking but since it was almost empty so I just left it in a tote since it wasn`t spilling anywhere else. Went to put all the bottles of product in a new cupboard I just made in the shop and thought I`d just look to see if I...

    Boxing towels, by the job rather than by the towel type

    So I`ve got a working garage with no room and lots of machines that grind/cut/sand etc. I keep my cleaning towels in the basement for obvious reasons. I was washing up the wife`s DD after supper yesterday, anyway, after the 3rd or 4th trip to the basement for different towels as I got father...

    Windshield Wiper Fluid vs LSP / windshield sealant on the DD

    I`ve been wondering about windshield washer fluid and how it affects wax or glass sealants. The powerful bug removing, anti freezing, streak freeing formula and all that jazz I recently applied a coat of glass sealant on my new DD. I`ve been using Adams for several years now and have always...

    Hose sprayer for foam gun replacement Recommendation

    Part of the spray that is used for the foam gun and general spray/rinse broke and now it`s a three hand operation to use it. The nose has the standard garden hose thread and a quick disconnect on it that attaches to the foam gun so I need that style of end. Any half decent basic hose nozzles...

    What`s bug/bird/tar remover doing to my wax?

    As I was removing the nightly bug collection from the front of my car after returning from a cruise-night a few towns over, I started wondering what, if anything, is the PB bug squash (3:1) doing to my wax. Then looking at my shelf of product I see the bird sh$T remover and tarminator spray can...

    Wiping polish to check progress

    What are you using to wipe the surface down during polishing to check your progress? I`ve frequently use 205 and ultra-polish and they are very oily so I find when I try to wipe down a section before moving on it`s a PIA as it smears everywhere. I was using M34 or other detail sprays to help but...
