I noticed that as well.

No. I went thru pilot training at what used to be Williams AFB in Phoenix and stayed there as a T-38 instructor. When Williams closed down, I transferred to Vance AFB in Enid, OK for another couple of years in the T-38. I had alot of friends who went thru Sheppard. It was a good deal for...

Thanks. I had a great career for sure. I had wanted to fly since I was just a couple of feet tall. The T-38 was by far my favorite. It is a great jet and a ton of fun to fly. It does burn a bunch of gas. Troy

I was a T-38 instructor, then C-5, T-1 and finally finished up at Edwards AFB flying test support in the C-12 (King Air). Troy

I had the exact same problem you have with your leather having a gloss look to it. I really liked the nice matte finish of my '07 Explorer when it was new, especially the steering wheel. A few hours ago, the steering wheel looked like it had a few coats of gloss clear applied to it and I...

My brother just bought a 1969 complete Meyers Manx dune buggy that is in rough shape. He is going to restore it to it's original look. Somewhere in it's history, someone decided to spray a single stage black paint job on top of the gold metalflake gel coat finish. The black is peeling in some...

I am guessing TOL stands for The Other Label as in the people who sell the Citrus wash. Is that correct and if so how do you like TOL clays?

Thanks Mike for the great tips and welcome to AG! You are right about those little spots bonding. I am thinking about doing an IPA wipedown to try and melt them off. They are on there like concrete! I had not even thought of taping off just for waxing but that is exactly what I am going to...

It has to be the natty since that is the only thing I have used. I didn't have time to use the menz yet. The spots are blue. I am back in AZ now but will get some pics when I get back to CA a week from Monday. I am thinking about using some IPA to test an area and clay if that doesn't work.

I finally took the plunge and ordered the 7424XP Menz kit a few weeks ago. I was so excited when it came that I couldn't wait to use it. I work in CA during the week and have a trailer that I stay in while there. That is where I had the kit sent. I was leaving the next day and did not have...

I tried to order some last week. I called Penny and she said they are on backorder and won't be in for a few weeks.

Re: 2001 Lincoln Continental Keeper's Makeover - autoLavish rejuvenates vehicle 8 yea Very nice job!! If you don't mind telling me where you ordered those brushes used on the leather, I would appreciate it! As with the entire detail job, the leather turned out great!!

I live in Phoenix where it cools down to about 105 by dusk. Is that too hot to DA polish in the garage? I don't know how hot is too hot for the paint before I am doing damage instead of polishing? I have a severely neglected Camry that I was going to use Menz SIP/orange pad followed by...
