    Dawn Power Dissolver

    Curious if anyone's been crazy enough to try it on carpets yet? I come across some pretty horrid stuff that couldn't be made worse, so I was wondering if this might be a viable option?

    Micro-Surface Black Lambswool pads

    Ordered these several weeks ago on the suggestion of members Flashtime, David Fermani and bufferbarry and they are all these guys said they are. Thanks, gentlemen. I use them almost daily and much prefer them to the LC PFW's via rotary or forced rotation machine. They finish down GREAT and...

    Hey all, my neighbor just got himself a matte black harley sportster. He says he was advised by the shop and other sources to clean the bike with an ammonia-based product. Sounded a little funny to me. Anyone confirm or deny?

    New Product Review : CG ONE

    Got a chance to test Chemical Guys' new waterless wash ,"ONE". With nothing better to work on than my wife's white X-Terra at the moment, I set about to messin' around. Other than the color, this was actually a good test subject because it's not meticulously maintained like my vehicle...

    Festool Rotex : Initial Impressions (long)

    First of all , when considering buying this machine , the hardest thing is justifying the expense----$350 on clearance ; $420 regular. As I also do a lot of woodworking and various home-improvements where it will be useful , I considered it a worthwhile investment. What really sold me on it...

    Just got the OPT Polish. While reading the label I see where it says you can use OCW to remove polish residue (like a QD). Is this advisable? Has anyone tried this-- and to what effect? If it works with no adverse effects , it would be a nice time saver. Comments? Opinions? TIA........

    Upon removing the tonneau cover from my pick-up , I notice that the frame of the cover has rubbed holes through the paint on the back of the cab right below the window. All the way to bare metal.About 1" wide x 2" long. One on each side. To do a normal touch-up with a brush would just be too...
