I live in the Bay Area part of NorCal and at least in my county, they ask people to use no more than 35 gallons of water per day per person. That is for indoors only, outdoor restrictions are a little more confusing, but luckily, washing cars the 2 bucket method is fine as long as the nozzle...

Hey fellow AG'ers. I just wanted to share my experience of using some old Lake Country pads and Cobra Crossgroove pads I had in my stash. I didn't want to spend anymore money towards the Rupes 21 I had purchased. I know most people like to use the Rupes pads or Meguiar's pads with them, but I...

You definitely would want to start with foam pads first. I would say, try some light polishing foam pads first before anything else. Microfiber pads would be fairly aggressive to begin with. If you do want to use the microfiber kit, start with the finishing pad first as it is the least...

I live in the Bay Area where everything is liberal & progressive. If you even as much as disagree with anything they say, you are labeled a "racist" or "bigot" before you can even give the reason why you disagree. Very unpleasant people to be around to talk about anything that has to do with...

Where do you live?

The combo has worked out as expected. The downside is occasional waterspots on some panels. I had to pull out CarPro Spotless a few times on my brother's Chevy Colorado truck in metallic black. This coating has a very glassy shine to it by itself. With Synergy, it gives the paint another...

Hey there Valky, which part of Thailand are you in? I'm currently living in Bangkok right now. I coated my brother's truck here in the PBL coating and topped it off with Synergy.

I'm 5'4" also so I always bring out my Werner work platforms. For most vehicles, I can reach the middle of the roof with a few exceptions. Some of them being a Honda Pilot and F-250 trucks. For those, I call in backup in the form of extra helpers who are about 5'11".

I take my Saturn out to take spirited runs behind the hills of Martinez and Orinda in the California Bay Area. We have some twisty and fast roads there. Lucky for me, I know those roads very well. A lot of off-camber turns that will put you in the creek if you're not careful. Very narrow as...

That was totally amazing. This is the first time I have seen this write up. You did an awesome job turning around the old SS paint. I thought the paint on my '91 Saturn was old, this is even older! I hope to have to chance to work on some old pony's eventually. I've done newer Mustangs though.

Thank you so much Rob. Ah, you had the pop up headlights I presume. I appreciate the thought man. I haven't tweaked anything with the motor since I drove it. Only added an AEM short ram intake to it and a full cat back mandrel bent exhaust with an SPS straight-through muffler. Lately, it...

Awesomeness to see old cars looking that good still on the road. Most Camry's I see on the road are driven to hell and back. They are very reliable, but nobody really seems to take care of the paint on them. Great job on keeping up with the polishing and coating the car.

I have no words, LoL! But thank you. :urtheman:

Thank you. It is because of people I met on the AG Forum that encouraged me to become a better detailer and tackle paint correction when I first started out. I would love to see the look on the faces of people at the old Saturn dealership which is now a Chevy dealership in Concord, California...
