Hi All. Been away (from posting - still read almost everyday) for a while but now that the weather is (hopefully) more accommodating will be getting back into it. Assuming my back and leg cooperate. Buddy of mine from work just picked up this. As the title says, what would you do? Think I know...

Popped in to a nearby BBQ place for lunch and these were out front.

Review: Griot`s Garage Convertible Top Cleaner Introduction: As mentioned in a different thread, the Stig sent me some products to review. This is the next in line. Hadn`t planned on using it this weekend but, as the planned activities fell through, snuck this in before the rain. Thanks again...

... when you can be rep`ing ACC? JK Got rained out of the regularly scheduled programming so hung my new banner and wanted to show it off. FWIW - my Harbor Gray 2011 Sonata freshly rinselessed with Dodo Juice Low on Eau with DDJ Basics of Bling as drying aid. A tasty combination.

Review: Griot`s Garage MF Wash Pad Introduction: Another of the products the Stig sent me to review. Thanks again to Corey for providing the format. Product Product Claims: Not on the Autopia Car Care site. Hmm.... From another site: "Four quadrants for scratch-free washing...

As mentioned in last weeks thread (http://www.autopia.org/forums/click-brag-the-detailers-showcase/184394-2010-vw-passat-mocha-anthracite-metallic.html?highlight=), I didnt like the amount of shake in the video. I did try post-process stabilization, but that cropped the images way too much for...

Review: 3D AAT Rubbing Compound & Finishing Polish Introduction: As mentioned in a different thread (http://www.autopia.org/forums/click-brag-the-detailers-showcase/184394-2010-vw-passat-mocha-anthracite-metallic.html#post2046292), the Stig sent me some products to review. These are the first...

After a slight order mishap, I PMed the Stig and he, naturally, corrected it ASAP. The usual fantastic Customer Support from PBMG. But, he also sent along some products for me to review. Several were used on this car and will be written up separately. Also used some of my other new toys. FWIW...

I was fortunate to be chosen to be a beta tester for Poorboy's World Tornado Pad Cleaner. Thanks again to Poorboy and PBW for the opportunity. Gratuitous product shot Due to new garage doors (last weekend) and new internet being installed (this weekend), I was unable to dirty any pads for...

I was fortunate enough to be chosen to be a beta tester for Poorboy's Typhoon MF Cleaner. These were my initial impressions from my first use. Small batch of MFs so used the recommended 2oz, Here is the before of the dirtiest towels. After of same towels Observations Cleans great - the...

Saw the pre-order was available on AG and called Ray. He recommended the long neck and have my confirmation. Very excited!!

When I received my BOSS G10 a week or so ago, it came with a BOSS Backing Plate. It certainly didn't look like the 2 went together and, when I tried, the mounting bolt was too short to properly engage the threads. So a quick trip to Home Depot and a 5/16-24x1" bolt + split washer later, the...

A co-worker's son's new car. Got it a couple of weeks ago. In reasonably good nick except for slight tunnel wash marring. And with the paint being as hard as it was, not sure how that was even possible. The usual pre-coating decon: CG CW + OPC > Carpro IronX Snow Foam > CG CWC > SM Arnold...

Why on earth would anyone care how a neurotic, obsessive-compulsive, fat guy washes a car? Yeah, pretty much how I feel, too. But I made the @#$% video anyway. Enjoy. Questions (and otherwise) welcome.

A coworker's. I'd seen in the parking lot and didn't think was that bad. As the title says, a 2013 Audi A5 in Brilliant Black - a victim of repeated tunnel washes. The owner told me it had soft paint. Not so much. My normal decon (CG Citrus Wash + OPC -> Carpro IronX Snow Soap -> CW CWC -> SM...

Decided to take a break from meme'ing and do some actual detailing. My original appointment postponed a week (Carnival? - :huh:) so did another of mine. For those who recall, I'd bought a 2013 VW Turbo Beetle Convertible...

OK, tried it. Found an old belt that no longer fits, cut it, drilled appropriate sized holes and mounted. Would definitely work - assuming the hook on the cart was stout enough.

Around the first of the year, I was to the point of organizing my remodeled garage (http://www.autopia.org/forums/show-off-your-garage-/183571-garage-mahal.html) and I started talking with grungy about coming up with something to hold my polishers. Bounced designs off of him for the next few...

My last 2 details didn't work out post- or video-wise: owners wanted their vehicles back before I could take pics or videos. Still wanted to work on my videography and lighting skills so decided to make a video on one of mine (and I'm sure that long time members will be happy I chose this one...
