    Towels by Doctor Joe?

    Has anybody ever tried microfibers from this site and if so, were they any good? They seem to have some great prices and I'm looking for some new glass towels, so considering giving them a try. Any help or opinions would be appreciated!

    Gas grills

    Just curious what kind of gas grills you guys are cooking on and any comments or input you can offer on what you have. I recently bought a Kenmore 3 burner for just under $200, and while I was initially satisfied, I have recently noticed that this grill cooks very unevenly. I put 6 burgers...

    Touch up painting questions

    I have never applied touch-up paint before and since I couldn't find any good, specific instructions anywhere else, I figured I would come to you guys for advice. My wife's 2005 Magnesium Metallic Honda Civic got a nasty rock chip on the front edge of the hood. It's about the size of a...

    Not happy with results from Meg's GC Leather Wipes

    I used the wipes on my 2006 RSX's tan interior last night. The two wipes that I used were sopping wet with the liquid when I pulled them out so I squeezed some of it out. I got all leather surfaces of the interior lightly damp with the wipes and went back around and buffed it off with a small...

    Not sure where I went wrong cleaning tires...

    I got some of the NXT Tire Cleaner, which is supposed to be foamed on and rinsed off, and the tires are "supposed" to come out black, as they are when new. I did two applications of the cleaner, agitating both times with the Meg's tire brush, and rinsing off with the hose, and they're still...

    Bird Poop Stains - how to get out of White RSX?

    So my white 2006 RSX went for a while without a wash...and there were two spots on the hood (either bird poop or some kind of tree junk - not clumpy like poop but not sticky like sap?) that while the main mass of the mess came right off, the yellow portion underneath would not budge. I was in...

    Readily available APC?

    I'm looking for an easy-to-find (Target, Wal-Mart, Costco, Pep Boys, etc) APC that I can use to loosen bugs on my bumper - I would like to avoid having to get all of them in my wash mitt if possible. Any suggestions? Also, should I cut the solution with water? Thanks! Alex

    Restoring 15 year old paint that seems to rub off a bit...

    I'm considering picking up a PC to keep both of my cars in the best shape possible. The 15 year old paint is on a red CRX Si. In the past, I've used Poorboy's Pw/C on it, and it looks better, but I think it would look far nicer if I hit it with some DACP and the PC. My concern is this -...

    Clay bars: Autopia's own vs. Meguiars vs. Mothers

    I have noticed that some clay bars are extremely expensive (Meguiars at $18 or so) while others are relatively inexpensive (Autopia's clay bar at $9.25). Is there a realistic difference between different brands of clay? Is the clay in Autopia's store reasonable? Thanks. Alex

    Best product for moderate swirl removal by hand?

    I have an '89 CRX Si with Red paint...not in the greatest of shape. It's swirled up pretty good, so I'm just trying to find a product that will do a good job (BY HAND) with the swirls and oxidation. DACP, Meg's SR, SSR2, suggestions? Thanks! Alex

    First semi-detail on my new Mazdaspeed Protege...

    I thought it was going to rain today, so I wasn't planning on detailing it even THIS much... Anyway, washed it with Meg's GC car wash and Griot's sheepskin mitt. Clayed hood/roof/trunk with Mother's clay/QD. Started off on the hood with 3M IHG, but as usual, it started looking...
