Get yourself a pair of chemical proof gloves from Home Depot. It's usually in the stain and paint department. The ones that I have a big pair of black ones. They're meant to be used while you use stains and other chemicals. They shield your hand from the cold water. You won't feel a...

fyi - I'm running Win7 64bit with Symantec Endpoint Protection. The fake virus detector virus got on my machine via a file that I had downloaded. I believe that is the same as the autopia.org malware. I used malwarebytes to remove it. Worked very fast and everything is nice and clean now...

For those that have one, can you tell me what the lumens rating is? I want to get one but would use it for general use around the house...in particular, at night around the yard and want to understand how powerful the light is.

Honda OEM wheels, no matter what the "color" or finish are coated. The wheels on both my Accord and Odyssey are machine polished and then clearcoated. Your 2007 wheels are definitely coated if they were the standard OEM wheels...my brother has the same year car. I've been just fine with...

On the foam gun, there are settings for 1, 2, 4 oz's, etc per gallon. If I am interpreting this correctly, setting it to the 3rd hole will mix the contents of the bottle with water at a ratio of 4 oz's per gallon. Is that correct? The reason that I ask is that I see a lot of folks mixing...

Thanks Mike. As always, you've given a very thoughtful and detailed response. My apologies on misquoting you regarding M20. I had misremembered the product number. Interesting on the cleaning ability of NXT. I had KSG on my car over the winter and was going to top it off with NXT. I...

Mike - I'm confused about Megs NXT. I had always thought that NXT and Gold Class were cleaner waxes based on what you've stated in the past (here and at MOL). I thought Megs #20 and Yellow Wax were the non-cleaner waxes. If autogeek's description of NXT states that it has cleaners in it. I...

The leather is finished if I am correct. It's standard Acura leather. It's nicer than Honda's but I'm sure it's still standard finished car leather.

I really like 1Z leather conditioner. I used to use Meg's cleaner/conditioner but don't really like it anymore after using 1Z. Can you guys recommend a good, but moderately priced, leather cleaner that goes well 1Z? I know Wolfgang is good stuff but at $20 for a small bottle, it's pretty...

I have the foam gun and like it. I can't imagine washing w/o it. I've had it since 2005. I see the big thing now is the foam cannon. I don't NEED the foam cannon but it looks really cool and I'm a tool addict. From what I can tell, it performs the same function as the foam gun, eg presoak to...

To clarify, if Collinite lasts longer than most sealants, say EXP, why would you even put it on over the sealant? Is there a visual appeal that makes it worthwhile enough to disregard the durability aspect?

One thing I'm not so clear on...Collinite has a reputation for lasting as long, if not longer, than most sealants. Perhaps Klasse is a strong contender to the title. What is the intention when folks layer it over a sealant? I have Klasse SG on a new car, almost 2 months now. It's still...

I believe the metroblaster is much higher powered. However, your idea (which is not stupid at all) is worth a try. I'll have to hijack my daughter's to see it works. Home Depot also has a very small shop vac that is a blower. I'm thinking a crevice nozzle on that should speed up the air...

Have one as well. It's a pancake model. It does not provide anywhere near the needed continuous cfm's needed. I tried it and it was cycling on and off constantly and would lose air pressure. I guess a larger tank would do well (and I have thought about it for carpentry needs) but those are...

I have a leaf blower...it's great for blowing off pollen and dust. However, I find that I end up blowing some dust on the car when I try to dry with it. It's also a bit cumbersome. I did check out the Air Wand but that was pretty costly...if they made a hose/adapter to fit various models, I...
