OPTI COAT! OPTI COAT! OPTI COAT! You'll never get white to really pop but the Opti Coat gives it a beautiful glow...like shiny new dishes. Plus all the long term protection. You can do it yourself for about $75.00, it ladts for years and you'll have enough left for a second coat if you like!

Let me get this straight....Some people here think it's ok to risk KILLING some guy because he was passing another guy and then slowing down? SHEEEEEEEET! He probably just wanted to get another look at that Big Block, Lowered Gigantic Ford Wagon running on Huge Wheels with Goodyear Racing...

I would think this stuff would be really popular in Florida, Mike. I used to live in WPB, and I do remember the "Love Bugs" They mass by the millions during mating season ...hence the name. But for some reason they seem to be attracted to I-95, and will cover the front of your car if you travel...

Not a big HF shopper myself...but I did buy the DA Polisher, and so far so good. Did a polish and wax on the Beemer and it's still in one piece. But when I do go in there I end up getting a bunch of junk I had no intentions of buying. Kinda like a trip to Costco, but cheaper....I don't come...

The carpet in a wrangler isn't like plush carpet you'll find in normal cars. It's an acrylic open weave like indoor/ outdoor carpet. It dries very fast. You can actually remove it and hose it down and hang it up to dry...if you need to! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using AG Online

Can't thank you enough Mike. I'm no youngster, and for years now Ive had new cars, and always kept them nice..My wife would say Im obsessed, but hey...At least Im not out spending time and money on worse vices eh? Anyway, my stepson came to me asking how to detail his '87 F150 which is in...

This week I went to HF in San Diego and bought the DA polisher. The price was $45...... It's on sale for $59.99, and they accepted the 25% coupon I got on line. The coupon is a one item coupon and cannot be used with "CLEARANCE" items. Brought it home and works fine.

jbwallace....how is the quality? Does it appear to be of substantial quality?

I'm buying the DA polisher. Price is $59.95 minus the 20% online coupon for a final price of $47.98....Basically, I'm betting fifty bucks it will be good enough for the four times a year I buff out my car. Besides, I like a trip to HF every once in a while.....A lot of junk yeah, but some things...

Now for a lesson on how far detailing has come in 45 years....Back in "The Day" we didn't have tire dressing back then. Hell, we didn't even have ArmorAll! To get our wide oval, raised white letter tires to shine, the secret was Johnson's Kitchen Wax! Those of us who knew the secret had...

And now for something you've probably never heard...Back in the days BEFORE ARMOR ALL even hit the shelves...long before any type of tire dressing, we used to use Johnson's Kitchen Wax to shine up our Goodyear Wide Oval tires....it lasted until the next washing, but those of us who knew the...

303 leaves the rubber looking new, but natural...I don't like my tires all shiny. For wheels, I leave them for last and use the same soap&water as the rest of the car, with a dedicated brush...On my BMW I'll spray first with Eagle brand (Yes Eagle) wheel cleaner to help with the brake dust...

If you don't see the harm in using clay that was dropped on the ground, you really just don't get the whole idea here. If even one grain of sand is rubbed repeatedly across your finish, it will look WAY WORSE than when you started. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using AG Online

Your dad is a lucky guy to have a son who just happens to enjoy detailing the way you do. And that A/M deserves nothing less! Great job! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using AG Online
