    No problem, I think it would probably look pretty good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    out of state tax ?

    No way I’ve been here for like 98 years. The shadow man won’t let me die. If you don’t let me get an invite I’m gonna be peering through the bushes (and sneezing cause pollen is crazy) [emoji102]. I don’t have bike boots but I can throw on my pair of NMDs and look real freakin hip. Sent from...

    Best Cheap Microfiber Towels

    I’ll spend an hour or so if I get new ones cutting the tag, and then fishing the rest of it out of the edge with needle nose pliers. It usually come out in one piece, you just have to push the stitching around to get a solid grip on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What's the deal with people nowadays?

    I can agree with this. I don’t think it’s universally true, but I think the perception is skewed towards youth for some reason. I’ve seen more retailers than I care to count fall victim to baby boomers berating them about things that simply aren’t their fault, and that they have no power over...

    Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

    I’d think an initial non diluted application with a damp microfiber, followed by a diluted spray to use as a drying aid would make sense. Whether that be 1:1, 2:1, 7:1, or what have you. The product is certainly thick, but I think even at a lot lower or a dilution it would be a lot more...

    how to coil an extension cord

    Exactly like that. That’s the video I watched when I was looking for a method to roll up my cords better. It was between that and the daisy chain method, and I ended up going with the over under. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    After cleaning and drying it I sprayed it down with some ONR on the horizontal panels and just ran my hand across the panel while it was wet. It didn’t feel as bad as before I clayed the hood/roof, but it’s definitely not smooth as glass like it was after I clayed. I had polished my hood...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Rinseless washed my car, yet again. The onslaught of pollen is insufferable this year. I’m thinking I need to just give it a break until it chills out, because I took the time to clay the horizontal surfaces a few days ago and they’re already collecting contaminants again. Definitely not worth...

    How to inspect paint for swirls using overhead sunlight

    I hardly ever see this mentioned, but polarized lenses really are priceless. I got a pair back in like 2006 when I was polishing the hulls of boats with a rotary, and simply couldn’t frickin see what I was doing and it was killing my eyes. I kept missing spots and wasn’t able to see the residue...

    how to coil an extension cord

    I’ve alway been willing to spend money on something that’ll last longer, as I see it as an investment. Certainly didn’t get that trait from my parents growing up (or maybe I did just out of frustration) because they never wanted to invest in anything. Not even things they’d use daily. Constantly...

    Does anyone routinely do underbody wash/detail?

    I’ve never really done it other than the touch less washes that include it. I’d maybe be inclined to do it 2-3 times a year if I was set up with quick jacks, or something similar that would make it feel more manageable to get up under there. But on the other hand, I doubt I’ll keep my car for a...

    how to coil an extension cord

    I’m an over/under guy. Nothing beats throwing 50+ feet of extension cord like a horseshoe and having it unravel perfectly every time. I leave the ends loose and hang them on a hook Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I enjoy the 303. Definitely leaves tires much more black than something stronger like hooper bean. I’d never used a dedicated rubber cleaner before this, but I think they’re probably worth the space on the shelf. I swear the tires on my Altima just looked a little better than usual after...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Went out today to clean up my weathertech floor liners with my 303 tire cleaner, which worked pretty well. No pictures, but I’m sure you can imagine a dirty floor mat and then a clean one. While I was out there I also decided to do two rounds of cleaning on the tires of my work van...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I could see that. Even cheap chenille mitts feel like clouds. Maybe I’m just used to it at this point, but I don’t store my BRS in ONR (I did after yesterday’s wash, just to save time in a few days when I wash again) often but even when it’s dry I think it feels about as soft as any low nap...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I’d say at this point it doesn’t seem to do any more harm than I feel like I’ve seen my towels do in some rare cases where I’m being particularly negligent and lazy. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Yvan do it in videos, but I just kind of started pinching the back of it as I’m going across a...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I think if it was all condensed it would make approximately one bouillon cube. One butt ton of pollen = one bouillon cube. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
