    Post your Thanksgiving Dinners + Desserts

    Ronk, looks delicious! I`m coming to your house next year! I spatchcocked my turkey this year. Sounds really fowl, doesn`t it? :lol: I backed two pies but my pie dough did not come out well. They tasted good but were not pretty!

    Looking for a Detailer in Dallas/ Plano TX

    All, a former coworker of mine bought a Porche Cayanne and she wants it detailed. I just do not have the time to for that kind of a job. These days I'm lucky to find time to clean up my little Fiat 500. Anyone have a recommendation in this area?

    Ultima Spray & Wash?

    I have a bottle of Ultima Waterless Wash Plus+ Concentrate. I have used it in a bucket to wash my car a couple of times. My Fiat is not very dirty so I don't want to break out the hose and do a typical wash. I see on the Ultima that "1/2 Ounce Makes 22 Ounces Ready To Use Spray Wash" Of course...

    Portable Misting Fan

    I just bought a small battery powered misting fan. I thought this might be something useful while detailing in the summer. Also for use on the patio or anywhere you go. I have not used it yet. I just turned it on today to see how it worked. It operates on a lithium battery that looks like the...

    Wolfgang Plastik Lens Cleaning System

    A while back I bought the Wolfgang Plastik Lens Cleaning System. I was going to detail a friend's old Mercedes Benz but she went and paid someone to restore the headlights before I was able to arrange a detail with her. I was bummed I didn't get to use the Wolfgang kit I bought. My son's Nissan...

    Ultima Product Question

    In another post a while back about interior cleaner/ protectants I scoffed at the high price of the Ultima Interior Guard Plus. But after many folks praised the product I made the purchase. I liked it! So I bought the Paint Guard Plus. My question is regarding the Paint Guard Plus. I washed my...

    Anyone else use detailing products around the house?

    We bought two Barcelona chairs at an Estate Sale today. No, not original Mies van der Rohe made by Knoll, I wish! That would be worth thousands! These are knock offs but from the 50-60's so still very nice. I first cleaned the chrome with Poorboy World's APC 10:1. Then used PS21 metal soap...

    Help me Pick Interior Cleaner/Protectant

    For years I have used Poorboy’s Natural Look. I like the product very much and it is the lowest price per ounce of the products I am considering. I did use this product on interior plastics inculding the dash. However, when we got the Mazda it did not work well with that dash. It was prone to...

    Beautiful Day in Dallas!

    We have had nothing like so many others as far as winter storms. That being said, for Dallas it has been dang cold! Plus huge swings in temp. This weekend we got a break and Sunday it was sunny and 70! So I took the opportunity to clean the Fiat. I washed it with Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax...

    Fiat: Clean after Ice Storm

    Earlier this month DFW area went from close to 70 degree weather to an ice storm with several days below freezing. We do not have the equipment for this weather like many other cities have. This year the city used a mixture of sand and salt. It made for a huge mess albeit a much safer drive...

    Bicycle Detail! A first for me

    My wife's bicycle is close to 20 years old. Hasn't been ridden is many years. The tires had dry rot and the brakes were shot. Our youngest son has started riding a bike so she wanted to ride again. We went to look at new bikes and were shocked to see the going rate. You can go to Walmart and...

    Window Tinting

    I'm thinking of getting the windows tinted on the Fiat. Any advice on what type to buy and how to find a reputable place? I had it done for the Jaguar I used to own but that business is gone.

    Wax for Armour

    My son purchased (not my recommendation) some armour at the Renaissance Faire south of Dallas. The seller told him to clean it with alcohol and put car wax on it. He was eager to wax it so I gave him some Meg's Cleaner Wax thinking that might be a good fit. In my last order I bought a...

    2nd Coat of wax advice?

    I washed and waxed the Fiat yesterday. I applied a coat of Dodo Juice Purple Haze Pro to the Fiat Nero Black. Black paint with sparkles of colors. Today I plan on cleaning the interior and thought if I'm up to it I would apply a second coat of wax. If I do, should I go with a second coat of DJ...

    Poorboy’s World Quick Wax

    I washed the DW's Mazda CX-7 that seems to be her personal trash can. Well, granted my 11 year old boy does his fair share to contribute. I didn't plan on posting this detail as I was just going to do a wash and clean the inside. Nothing special. So no before pictures. Started out with the...

    Purple Haze Pro and my Fiat

    This thread is a long time in coming. I have meant to post this for weeks now! I previously used a sample of Dodo Juice Diamond White. I really liked the results so I ordered Purple Haze Pro. I did the typical 2 bucket wash using the also newly acquired Dodo Juice Sour power shampoo. The soap...

    Scuff Marks on the Fiat

    I've had some scuff marks on the door sill of my Fiat. I guess I made them getting out of the car with my boots or shoes. I don't recall how they got there. I tried rubbing it with an MF and APC but that did nothing. So, after washing the car I used a sample I have of Wolfgang Swirl Remover and...

    Seeking Parenting Advice for Vehicle

    I'm ranting here, but would like some thoughts on this. Years ago I bought a used Nissan Frontier Pickup. It's a 2000 with just under 75K miles. When my son started driving I turned it over to him. Now he is in college. I paid for the truck, I pay for insurance, I often pay for gas, and all...
