    What to swap m105 with?

    I'd highly recommend Ultimate Compound. It is 1 under M105 on the aggressive scale. I had the same problem with M105... it just dusts _really_ bad. I've never had this problem with UC. I'd say that you might need to work UC a little longer than M105 but, as mentioned above, this is fine as it...

    Megs ULW & UFF - Tips for application

    First, I have about 10 bottles of UFF and I like the stuff. The price has dropped on Amazon to $8.64 and Walmart was getting rid of their stock at $6.00. Both of these are great prices for a bottle. I also highly recommend ULW as it can easily be bought, applied some some direct light and wipes...

    Polishing Aluminum Wheels

    Good info. I'm _guessing_ that this is aimed at just cleaning the wheel by an average everyday person. I'm not sure why a correctly used polish would damage a clear coated wheel.... unless they are not clear coated? Sorry... you are correct about the type of wheels. Really good job at matching...

    Polishing Aluminum Wheels

    I was using Megs Ultimate Compound. I have M105, M205, as well as some other less abrasive polishes but to me honest, UC is kind of my go too polish. I change type of pads (orange down to white) as needed rather then change polish. I just find that UC is close to M105 but does not flake like a...

    Polishing Aluminum Wheels

    I'm pretty sure it is the clear as it is all scratched up. Seeing the scratched I can just visualize the person using the wash brush at the self serve wash right after the guy who went mudding washed his truck with it. :(

    Polishing Aluminum Wheels

    I've posted some photos of my aluminum wheels. I'm 95% sure that they are clear coated. If correct, I've read that the best way to remove the scratches is to polish them as I would clear coat on paint. I've used my Flex PE-8 with a 2" orange pad but it did not seem to have any effect. I thought...

    Colourlock - Leather Shield

    I've not seen much discussion about this product. Any thoughts? I've watched a few videos of their products and they seem to have been around for awhile and specialized in leather repairs and maintenance. I have an issue with my 2014 Ford Fusion and the aniline leather dye rubbing off. I...

    Toro 51585 Power Sweep or Toro 51619 Ultra Blower?

    I have both the Toro 51619 and the Worx WG520. I want to like the Worz more... and it had it's advantages... but I like the Toro a little better. The Worz puts out more air but the difference is that it's very much spread out with the larger opening. The better part about this is that it covers...

    what to do if in a car accident and the driver at fault doesn't have auto insurance?

    If the child was under 18, his parents should be help responsible or his actions. They allowed him access to the motor vehicle as well. The police should have also set up their report so that the child needed to appear in court. A judge should then order restitution to you. Not saying you'd ever...

    what to do if in a car accident and the driver at fault doesn't have auto insurance?

    This happens in every state. There is a system in place (I think its an SR-22 in FL) that _attempts_ to curb this. The court requires that the person have an SR-22 on file. If their insurance stops for any reason, the insurance company is required to notify the state. The state then suspends the...

    what to do if in a car accident and the driver at fault doesn't have auto insurance?

    There is... to a degree. States should suspend the person's drivers license until they show proof that they have paid for the loss. Sometime the police don't do their job so it never gets reported in such a way that this happens. But also, many people don't care if they drive without a license...

    what to do if in a car accident and the driver at fault doesn't have auto insurance?

    Wow.. you managed to work a dig in on Obamacare when it does not even fit and you are also 100% incorrect on it's application in this situation.

    what to do if in a car accident and the driver at fault doesn't have auto insurance?

    No, the reason why MI premiums are so high is because you have true no fault laws... even for property damage. The only thing you can collect from an at fault driver is your deductible. You need to pay for your own coverage to repair your vehicle even if the other person is at fault. Also, your...

    what to do if in a car accident and the driver at fault doesn't have auto insurance?

    As mentioned, a police report should be filed. If there was, and the police do their job correctly, the person is issued a citation and needs to show up in court. A judge will then usually require that they show proof of insurance and that they satisfy your loss (which most likely won't happen)...

    Free samples from the AG store - what's going on?

    I have chosen some free samples. I've also then ordered them as I had a chance to see what they were like. I'd think a manufacture would LOVE to give free product out for this reason.

    Detailing and Working on a Jeep

    Been detailing my own vehicle's for a few years (10) but I'd say it's a hobby that is 3rd or 4th down on my list. Stepped up from the PC 7424 to the Flex 3401 a couple of months ago and just got the Flex PE8 in yesterday. About a month ago I detailed my friends full size truck. That was a bear...

    Flex PE8 vs cheap rotary

    Had kind off a crappy week so I broke down and bought the PE8. Well, that and I got a good discount so it ended up being cheaper than the PE8 with just a few pads. Looking forward to giving it a try. Stamping out my own pads? Yeah, not really an option at an additional $200 investment. Might...

    Microfiber Detergent is it really necessary?

    Pepsi fire

    Taste like whisky and Pepsi... without the whisky. Not a big fan of Pepsi though.
