Eraser reminds me of Fruity Pebbles. Gyeon Prep smells good too, but it's not Fruity Pebbles good!

Gotta pay off my truck and make room in the garage first!

If you're looking at models that are still in short supply, they are still getting away with this garbage. As inventory has increased and sales have decreased because of the markups, I've started seeing the dealerships willing to deal on cars they have a lot of on the lot. When we bought our...

Apex Blue or Performance Red. Black interior.

Very cool cars. I have my eyes on an A-spec with the 6 speed for a daily driver. It's a Civic SI for adults.

I'd put the apple tag on the flex. Put your bottles in a ziplock bag. Not all baggage compartments are pressurized. You may find a mess if one comes open in flight.

Read my post on MOHS. It started sweating within seconds for me. There was no question on when it time to wipe off. If I could let my truck cure in the garage it would probably get it also. I'm starting to rethink my "use up what's left in my garage" on sealants and switch to can coat now.

My wife wanted Modern Steel Metallic. She "settled" for this one but as soon as she saw it she liked it better. The metal flake is subtle until the sun hits it.

300 miles in and we like it a lot. The tech and features are pretty on-par with the explorer limited we had previously. CarPlay/android auto is wireless so that's a nice touch. I really like the USB ports at every seat, and the cupholders in the door can hold a large insulated bottle. It's...

We had a 2020 explorer for just under three years. In that time it spent almost 9 months at the dealer for warranty work. After the second trip for transmission issues it went carmax as soon as we picked it up. Then over to our local Honda dealer to order a Pilot Elite and were told it would...

Scrub a tire and see what happens?

I'm still using it. Usually do an AIO in the spring and McKees Hi Def in the fall. My truck sits outside, and my neighbor loves to turn her sprinkler on it regardless of where I park in my driveway. I need to polish it yearly. Once I run out of the Hi Def I'll probably switch to can coat on...

Your client is saving the manuals, you're saving the paint!

Nate, How's MOHS holding up on the MDX? We just took delivery of a new pilot in platinum white pearl metallic. It's getting PPF right now and then I'll be doing my first coating possibly next week if STL cools down a little. Not much rain to judge with lately but how is the longevity...

In all honesty, the pads are the expensive part if you're wanting to get the best performance. It's important to have different cuts, but it's also important to have quantity of each. If you only have 2-3 of each you're going to be cleaning them often, or not getting the best out of them...
