For me, it's a touchless car wash with an undercarriage spray, then directly home for a rinseless (ONR) wash and 25 minutes or so on wheels and tires. I used to do this a couple of times a month, but now that I've retired from my career, my driving is down by 75% right now, and I've only done...

That's what I use as well. My hands are too big to get in behind most handles, so the finger pocket applicators are great. For my wife's care, instead of coating, I added a protective film in that cup area behind the handle.

I can address one part of your post very simply. I moved from a couple of off brand DAs that spin clockwise to the Flex 3401 with the "backwards" rotation. I had the same trepidation as you. In my experience, that issue took all of 15 seconds to get past. It truly is not a big deal. You'll...

You know, this is a great point! My wife does a lot of painting in the house, and loves that I have the one I had. I bet she'll be happy with a second!

I just grabbed one. Now I have two, and I bet it'll save me 15 minutes a car now. I detest leaning on a car, so I use one on anything but a sports car. Not having to move it back and forth will really be a pleasure. If I can add, I am very happy I added foam padding on all the edges, and non...

I guess I'll be the guy who says yes and no. In the spring when I am prepping my regular wheels and tires to go back on the car, I coat the entire wheel, including the barrel, and dress both sides of the tire. But when the winter tires are off the car and I prep them for storage, I coat the...

Exactly what I do.

On my own car, I only do rinseless washes, and I use ONR and the Big Red Sponge. No marring whatsoever. You do have to be careful to understand that you are "applying" the ONR, not scrubbing. I was quite reluctant to try the sponge, but it actually does work. For customer's cars, I use...

"I am no longer, and will never be again “beholden to the lender.” Thanks to Dave Ramsey." Yeah, I'm a big Dave Ramsey fan too. Last thing I have is 14 months on my mortgage that we'll pay in 5, then I'll be completely debt free. Been saving for the new car for four years now, (got the Lexus...

This looks like a tremendous feat of engineering. As I have been debating my next tool purchase, and this incorporates all three of the tools I am considering, it seems like it would be perfect. BUT... I wonder about anything that tries to be all things to all people. Having been involved with...

"My only hang up with the G70 is the lack of rear seat space. It's very tight. I'd go G80 if I needed to carry passengers." Thanks for the tip. I've not yet started looking seriously, and suspect I would have realized that when I went to look at them live. At almost 62 years old, and with a...

Genesis 70 (maybe G80 if the market does well the next 6 months or so), in Mallorca blue. I have owned Hyundai products for the last 16 years until I was given a Lexus ES350. Love the Lexus, but I don't think the value is equal to the price. I've always been ecstatic with the three Hyundais...

Dr. Oldz, That's an interesting point about the amount of product, and one I will certainly try to confirm. I've tended to follow the directions on most product bottles that call for three - four pea size drops, although I've known Mike recommends using way more product. I suspect that even if...

Mike, I watched this evening. As usual, great info. I think the most valuable take away for me was the investment doing this will take. I bet you would use a half bottle of the abrasive for the entire windshield, the pads aren't cheap, and a couple of hours of intense work is what one has to...

I LOVE KC styled ribs, but Texas style brisket can't be beat. Oh, and I washed my car today.

"LOL. Dawn is a good product for certain things. I've read it's the product of choice when there's major oil spills, and used for clean-up of effected wildlife because it does cut oils very well." - MarkD51 True story. My mom started showing signs of dementia right about the time of the oil...

The transmission fluid in my Lexus is supposed to be "lifetime". In order to change it, requires serious gymnastics, a colostomy bag with a hanger, and I think you have to have a permission slip signed by two dead people. I've watched videos of people doing it, but I haven't gotten brave enough...

I got this car when my father in law had to stop driving, almost three years ago. At the time, as a 10 year old car, it had 23,000 miles on it, and was pristine. I've since put 90,000 miles on it in the three years I've had it. Engine still purrs, and thanks to what I've learned from AutoGeek...

It is not proper to discuss what my dreams are like on a family forum such as this :D

My 2007 Lexus ES 350 owner's manual calls for an oil change every 7,500 miles. That seems like too big an interval, and one that I struggle to remember (or at least did struggle before I began using a fuel and repair expense ap). I have gone 5,000 miles +/- 200 miles for almost all of my 45...
