    Washing your car in your driveway a new crime!

    Look at this as a "golden time" in Cali. I know one party gained enough seats in both legislative houses to meet the required super majority to raise taxes. In a few years you won't have enough money to own a car much less worry about it being clean. Not that history should be a guide or...

    SS Paint - Megs #7 after correction?

    Got a question for the fellows knowledgeable about single stage paints. I have a Miata that I've been fooling with on a part time basis and recently used my GG6 w/ Machine Polish 3 to clean up the trunk. It looks pretty good for a newbie! Not had time yet to do the hood and the paint is starting...

    Mike, put me down if there if spots are still open. Great to see AG making an effort like this. It's a long way from FLA. Will

    Polish drying out?

    Just to clarify the previous comment, there doesn't seem to be a lot product to wipe off when I stop and almost none a lot of the time. That's the main reason I wasn't sure about my technique.

    Polish drying out?

    Mike, I've got a similar/related question. Like the OP I have very limited experience and have used either Swirl X or GG MP3 on an orange pad on a GG ROP. I seem to have a dry pad while running on 4.5 or so but then as the pad slows to a stop when I turn off the machine it leaves a pretty heavy...

    Mark, just curious was the HP the only reason you traded? What did you think about the Z otherwise?

    High mileage oil?

    Anyone have any experience using any of these oils? The family truckster (actually a Honda CRV) is at 185k and beginning to use some oil between changes. Will this make a difference or is it just marketing hype? I wouldn't hesitate to strike out to Kalamazoo in this thing and plan to drive it...

    Megs vs LC backing plates?

    I'm about to get a 5" backing plate for a GG DA and didn't know if there was any real difference between Megs/LC BP's. I don't expect to be getting the Megs MF pads any time soon but that would be the one thing that might make me lean toward the Megs plate. Any thoughts?

    ONR 2012 vs UWW

    I've about used all my '10 version of ONR and was curious about how the '12 version compares to UWW. I will continue to use it as a rinseless or as an additive to the regular wash for a little extra bump. Looks like the ONR is a bit cheaper at rinseless ratio. I'm sure I can't go wrong with...

    bad habits or practices we know are bad but do anyway

    Wasting time on auto detailing web sites instead of doing something constructive - like using auto detailing products I ordered while wasting time on auto detailing websites. :D

    Security/Web cameras

    Thanks again for the info and the offer WildJ. I think I am going to order one each of the inside and outside versions and I might send you a PM if I run into a problem. If you order directly from Foscam they provide free assistance. The prices are about the same as Amazon but probably a bit...
