I can understand how you feel, because I felt the same when I first started visiting this site. I still come across a lot of acronyms that I can't decipher here after 10 months, and I apologize for using them without thinking about how it can frustrate new members. And I'm an "old school" type...

Congratulations on a good find. I think I saw it at Target also, but for some stupid reason ( I think I got distracted, which for me happens frequently) I didn't pick one up. Maybe I can get one before they run out.

I've gotten better lately; I cut down on the impulse purchases. I try to limit myself to $50 to $75 a month. I'm a hobbyist and since the beginning of the year I estimate that I spent $3500 to $4000 in total. It was getting out of hand, but I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I'm just...

I got into a bad accident last October and my Pilot was destroyed. I had to get a car for transportation fast, so I ended up buying a 2008 Civic that has a dark exterior and a beige cloth interior, the combination that shows swirls, dirt, and other defects the most. I stumbled across AG because...

Congratulations, Oscar, on your 1000th post!

I agree with you. I should have bought a rotary. My fear was burning my paint, so I always stayed away from them. But I guess the normal progression is to move up to a rotary after getting your feet wet with random orbitals, so that will be my next move.

I'm like Oldmodman; I'll use a light mist of water or mineral oil when working with M105 with a alcohol mixed with water wipe down after each panel. It prevents dry buffing and cuts way down on dusting, which drives me nuts.

Not really. Once you get used to the way it moves and adjust to it. I really appreciated how it can cut your working time and give you better results than you ever could expect. You won't regret purchasing any type of DA or random orbital buffer that is of good quality, and Flex, Meguire's, and...

It got pretty bad here overnight, and I was amazed I got through it without losing power. We hear that over 2 million people on the east coast lost electricity and that it can take 3-4 days before power is fully restored. Man, that's a long time to be without the things that we take for granted...

Red Robin Fuddruckers Five Guys All these places have pretty good burgers. I'd like to try your place.

As of 11:00 A.M. Sunday, my vehicle sat outdoors through the worst part of the bad weather. It (the hurricane or tropical storm) hit us about 10:00 P.M. last night and I worried about it all night. In the metro D.C. area, downed trees, branches, and power lines was about the extent of the...

I considered one when I was in the market for a steamer and talked to a rep for Vaporclean on the phone. I was told that a steam cleaner such as Vapamore and others like it that have plastic exterior parts and steamers in that category usually have a life expectancy of about 2 years at the most...

I live in D.C., and we felt it pretty good. I was sanding my wood floor when it hit and shook my house for about 10 seconds; my home felt it was swaying SIDEWAYS! I thought for a moment that it would collapse, but fortunately it held up until the quake stopped. At first I didn't know what had...

I use them for target practice. I place them on clothes lines, tree stumps, stick them on poles and assign each color a different point value. Then my friends and I have fun plinking away with 22.s. I have a big back yard with a lot of trees, so there's no danger of strays going where there not...

I use Klasse AIO on my windshield and windows, and I get a kick out of watching water bead up and fly off when I'm on the highway and it rains. But looking for a thunderstorm? I haven't reached that stage in the illness we all share YET.

Fantastic job. Great looking car, looks brand new.

Yes, very hot. I, like Elite Pro, just make sure the felt ring is lubricated.

Good advice from Arkus,and the other forum members. I know that for myself, I think I'm one of those who have a "addictive" type of makeup to my personality.(cigarettes, alcohol, and chemical addiction at some point in my life.) I don't do things in half measures, I seem to go off the deep end...

Jesus, that is some pad collection. Question: how many pads do you use to polish and wax? On the average.

I'm with you, Mark. (I hope) When I first got bitten by the detailing bug I was buying products like crazy, and I think it's a process to find what works best first hand. Now I have stuff I don't even use because I've settled on a few that I think are the best for me. My list looks a lot like...
