    Kids playing near my truck is worrying me

    I agree with what all has been said before. Nothing you can do. Grin and bear it. Asif

    How to do you apply tire dressing with paintbrush?

    I received a bottle of SwissVax Pneu dressing with a brush as a gift last year. Save it for my garage queen only because it is so expensive (but not the greatest dressing IMO). Typically, I hold the brush against a MF cloth (to prevent overspray), and spray the dressing straight onto the...

    What is this? How to remove it?

    I think the wheels are pitted due to the brake dust being etched into the finish. A refinish of the entire wheel is all I can think of to solve the problem..... A

    favorite product

    Having been a Zaino addict for the last 14 years, I recently tried the Wolfgang line which came as a "combo" with my new Rupes 15. I have to say, I'm sold on the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant which is m new favourite product of choice. I'm hooked! Asif

    Engine Bay Detail: what should I tape off?

    I don't tape/cover off any components either. I use my electric PW, albeit from a distance so as not to force water into any parts. Just use a little common sense as suggested above, keep the pressure down (shower setting should be just fine), and don't spend too much time soaking the engine...

    Honda S2000 Firecracker Red

    Looks stunning. As a former S2000 owner, I'm smitten when I see pictures like this. Good work! Asif PS-The anorak in me says the colour is "New Forumla Red" :)

    Foam cannon process preference

    4 for me. And the only reason I rinse after the dwell stage is so that the soap doesn't dry on the paint. Asif

    pitted door handles

    I agree; look like cheap ABS plastic, made in China specials that have been exposed to the elements without regular cleaning and TLC. I'd say its time to replace them personally. Asif

    How do mobile detailers get shade?

    I have a 10X10 version that I purchased for the shade benefit. Regrettably i've never used it as it is just too much of a pain to pull out, set up and then put away again; taking precious time away from my detailing time. Fortunately however, they are quite compact; my version when folded...

    How do you remove sticker residue from paint?

    Keep in mind that even if you remove the decal and related adhesive residue, if the decals have aged in situ and have been exposed to the elements for some time, the paint beneath them may be permanently damaged and the residual "ghosting" practically impossible to remove. Asif

    Anyone here used the EGO 56-Volt Lithium-ion Cordless Electric Blower

    The Ego model doesn't seem overly powerful. I had a B&D one for years that I recently replaced with a Toro (likely same as PapaChop" and it performs much better than the outgoing model. I'm not a fan of Li-ion tools, so perhaps I'm a little biased. A

    Power washer?

    A little late to the party, however here is my 2 cents from personal experience: I have had a Honda GC Powered 3400psi gas machine for the last 15 years. It runs like a champ with regular bi-annual oil changes. I use it for medium-heavy duty work like washing out our back-yard water feature...
