    Car commercials are the worst

    Dodge is head and shoulders above the rest in terms of commercials lately. They have a lot of cool cars to back it up too.

    Dirty Girl - Extreme Maserati Makeover!

    Do you normally compound the whole car like that? Isn't it like cement by the time you're done with the whole car? My method is to do a panel, and get the compound off asap so it's not a pita to remove. I then polish that same panel before I move to the next panel. That way I don't have to...

    Need detailer in Phoenix area to wash my cars while I'm overseas, looking for recommendation

    I detail out of my house and know of quite a few local detailers. What part of Phoenix are you in? If you're in the far north Phoenix/Cave Creek area, I might be able to help out. Otherwise, I could refer you to someone.

    Which car goes in the garage?

    Why not alternate every week? I'd have a hard time parking a nice new Mustang out on the street and don't have much love for F-bodies, so the choice would be easy for me.

    Polishing removes ceramic coatings, not sanding.

    Are there any foods that you don't like or care for?

    I recently had a beets in a salad for the first timeand can say that I never want to taste that again. I'm also not a fan of anything with cream cheese. Most people find the second one weird, but you couldn't pay me to eat cheesecake.

    2015 Nissan GTR track car

    I think you need some bigger buckets to hold those steam rollers. Looks great.

    Cleaning tires and rims

    Most people recommend rotating at 6k mile intervals. I'm not sure what an 'automatic' torque wrench is, but yes, I do torque mine down to 100 ft/lb. If you have a couple buckets, it's pretty convenient to put the wheels on them as shown here.

    Cleaning tires and rims

    For my personal vehicles, I clean the wheels and tires up very thoroughly when its time to rotate the tires. I'm not going to take them off just to clean, but while they're already off, why not?

    Longest lasting AIO?

    D166 definitely does not last 6 months. We're lucky to get 6 days in the summer in AZ out of any Carnauba-based product.

    Bee Droppings? Difficult to get off.

    That's bee poop? Every single car that I work on has those little spots and I usually use my fingernail. I had no idea what it was from, but they're a PITA.

    Microfiber pads for the 3401

    I use a purple foamed wool pad with FG400 when I need to cut through the bad stuff on my 3401. It's a HUGE step up from an orange foam pad.
