    D114 first impressions

    i finally used this on MY car; i've had my car garaged since the fall. i moved it from my old garage when i needed to get the roof redone in the winter, into my new house garage and it has sat there ever since. i have been so consumed with everything "house" for quite some time, especially since...

    2008 SI sedan

    my wife had a '07 FBP Si sedan from new. by the time she sold it in the late spring of '14, it had like 160k and had pretty much every panel repainted by Honda. as a paint nerd, it was hard going through that, but it was her car, not mine, she drove the wheels off and honestly "decent" repaint...

    utility sink help

    yep, it's an attached garage guys. thanks. in our other house we used to have a hot/cold feed on a shared wall and it used to freeze here and there, so i ended up using heat tape which worked flawlessly, but, the point is i experienced freezing during extreme temp drops prior to the tape and...

    utility sink help

    I bought a new house and one thing I miss from my old spot is that I had a hot/cold feed in the garage. I had to use heat tape on it though to prevent freezing. heat tape is a thermostatically controlled length of wire attached to a pipe that heats up to keep the pipe from freezing. anyway...

    Are these paint defects fixable?

    this forum is baffling. detailing and related are so visual dependent. yet, the forum limits the size of attachments to something that almost always makes it impossible to see what's going on. so much so that many members despise other members for using the built-in attachment protocol. and to...

    Optimum power clean APC dilution ratios

    you can't let OPC dry on glass or paint. it stains/hazes. so, no, i definitely would not suggest this.

    CQuartz Dlux Plastic & Wheel Coating

    ahaha, i'm not talking about rash/scraping. come on hahahaha i mean road wash in particular, on top of brushes w/ brake dust, etc. over time. the chemistry dictates it's not that tough. if you can remove something with an alkaline APC and elbow grease, there are better options for wheels. i'm...

    CQuartz Dlux Plastic & Wheel Coating

    there are better options out there. i know it has its followers. i'm not one of them. DLUX is susceptible to alkaline cleaners and abrasion. ime it's just not that tough. a lot of non-acid wheel cleaners are alkaline. and abrasion...welp, road wash is abrasive. is it better than a lot of...

    Griots paint prep

    i agree with this post. but, i would replace "would" with could. machine polishing will decimate any wax or sealant, and that wax/sealant won't affect the polishing process. but, yeah, you need to prep the paint for polishing and you want to wipe down the paint after prep but prior to...
