    1994 caprice classic polished

    All I can think of is the expression, "Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes all the way to the bone!" I hope the owner did not pay much for it. In the 90's GM was making some of the world's ugliest cars and a top executive even admitted it publicly. In any case you did a really nice job...

    Review: McKee’s 37 Xtreme Iron Remover

    Thanks Marc. It's good to know staining is not a problem with other brands as well.

    Review: McKee’s 37 Xtreme Iron Remover

    Thanks SabbyNJ and Mantilgh for the replies. Sounds like I'll be fine with my usual practice of rinsing down the driveway following an application of anything other than wash products.

    Review: McKee’s 37 Xtreme Iron Remover

    I recently bought some for use this fall when my two daily drives get their annual full detail. Sometimes I worry more about what a new product will do to my driveway than what it will do to my paint. Many people test and report on the latter, but few mention the driveway. I have an asphalt...

    Why I'm not and never been a fan of waffle weave drying towels

    No one has mentioned drying, but if you air dry towels an a rack or a line, they will not be very soft. I always put mine in a dryer with medium heat and plenty of fluff time. They are much softer that way. I don't use or own any waffle weave towels.

    Review: Mckees 37 Plastic Trim Restorer

    Looks great Justin. I use a number of McKees products and like them a lot. I do not own this particular product, but I plan to put it on my list as a potential replacement for WETS. From your photos, it looks like the McKees might have a tiny bit more sheen, but still very natural looking...

    Bad Idea?

    I wouldn't touch it for any amount of money. My wife suffered for years with reactive airway disease that was caused by working in a sick office building. A car can be worse, don't risk your health on a cheap ride. They may be trying to sell you a car that was in a flood, and the mold may...

    To Have Xpel Applied or Not?

    Well, everyone has to do whatever they feel is right. Personally, I don't see the point in film. I take more than the normal amount of care with my cars, but I don't buy museum pieces. At some point in time I trade them in for a new one. By that time, I've eaten most of the depreciation and...

    Whats a safe product (wax/sealant) to use to protect a wrapped car with?

    The problem is his referrals will all be expecting the same low price you gave him.

    Whats a safe product (wax/sealant) to use to protect a wrapped car with?

    And I also seem to recall you dropped your price to $125, and then he said he can get it done for $65. I guess he thought you should do it for $50! Trust me, this is not someone you want on your customer list, at any price.

    Whats a safe product (wax/sealant) to use to protect a wrapped car with?

    Is this the same suburban that walked because he said he could get it done for $65? Under the circumstances, I wouldn't budge from $200.

    Rinseless/ Tires;Wheels

    Pump spay, let soak, wipe down with cheapest cloth I own, pump spray,let soak, wipe down with good MF cloth, then dry with MF towel. If wheel wells are really dirty with salt, etc. then it is a diiferent ball game. I back the car next to my outside winter hose and do the wells, wheels, and...

    Need a favor from a GG6 owner that has a decibel meter app

    One thing I noticed when looking at the list of earlier tests, the GG6 appears to be the older model, not the current one. My tests of the current model show lower numbers, so it could be the current model is quieter than the old one. However, comparing db readings taken with an iPhone app...

    Need a favor from a GG6 owner that has a decibel meter app

    O.K. Coach, here's some data for you. I'm not going to bother providing the iphone reading because the app suggests trimming the settings using a real sound meter for calibration. Without the calibration the app numbers were running about 4db higher. And of course, after the trimming was...

    Need a favor from a GG6 owner that has a decibel meter app

    O.K. In fact I'll give you two readings, one from my sound meter, and another from an iPhone app. I'll have to download one because I've never had a need, but now I'm curious to see how close the readings wifi be.

    Need a favor from a GG6 owner that has a decibel meter app

    I'm in PA, so can't help tonight but I'll give you a reading from a real sound meter in the morning. At what distance did you take your reading?

    Eagle One Surface Prep Mitt...Amazing

    Just purchased one at AA in DE - paid $7.49, but there's no sales tax there. I would have purchased the two they had, but the second one did not look like the coating was as uniform. I have never seen any of the competitor's products for comparison, but I'm not overly impressed by the quality...
