    Terry cloth bonnets

    I have a question about the use of terry cloth bonnets. Do any of you use them in the application or removal of polish, sealants, or waxes? Since the material is coarse compared to microfiber, would you regard it as safe to use? I have some, but I've been reluctant to use them because I'm...

    Craftmens 10" Buffer/Polisher

    I bought one that's red in color in the 1980's. It's been sitting in my basement since about 1987. I think I'll give it to my son. Seriously, I don't use it because of the expense and hassle of obtaining pads and bonnets for a 10.5" buffer that feels like a jackhammer in my hands when I use it...

    turtle wax " black box "

    NY946, I have to say that those pics look awesome. The finish on the car before you started was swirled and dull for real? I have to admit I was kinda skeptical about the product because it was Turtle Wax, but after seeing this result my opinion was off base. Thanks for sharing the pics.

    Polishing Pal

    I agree with you about the fantastic feel of the Polishin' Pal. You can save your fingers from cramping and your arm muscles from knotting up when using one of these babies. I use it around the mirrors and on panels too small to get at with a polisher. It's a life (or should I say finger) saver.

    Which Steamer to buy

    VX5000. You won't be sorry for spending the extra money. It is well worth it, particularly if you are detailing for a living. If you're a hobbyist like I am, it's still worth it, because of the quality and the many different ways it can be utilized in the home.

    The Loss of my Lhaso Apso named Harley.

    Sorry to hear of your loss. Dogs can be as much a part of you as a family member; in my case BETTER than some of my family members. Loyalty and devotion without question or condition is what bonds them to most of us, traits that a lot of people lack. I hope that time will turn your sorrow into...

    Good to be back...sort of...

    Good to have you back. I was starting to wonder what had happened to you cause I didn't see any posts from you for awhile. I try to go somewhere at least once a year, this year it'll be Hawaii in October.

    Detailers Confessional

    It's been about 2 months for me since I did anything with my car. With the weather either being hot and humid as hell, earthquakes and hurricanes, and me mainly being lazy. I also need to have a garage big enough to work in.

    The "Stupidly Self-Inflicted Injury" thread.

    I once did the same with a Kershaw pocket knife and sliced into my finger to the bone. Yes, those knives are amazingly sharp, but for that reason they are one of the best around. You just can't afford to have a mental lapse when using them.

    What to buy?

    I think you can find Blackfire Wet Diamond at Autopia. I hope saying this doesn't get me in trouble. I think Autopia and AG are both under the same umbrella, so to speak.

    Which carnuba for the weekend?

    That's a good suggestion. All of them are definite winners. For me, I'm gonna go with Blackfire sealant topped with Blackfire carnuba. Have fun.
