Mike Phillips has a video here at Autogeek that shows how to do a wash like this safely (without inducing swirls). Effectively, folds a microfiber in quarters, and holds the front of a towel and "rolls" it to present continually new towel surface as he is making a wipe. Once he reaches the end...

I'm trying to gather the funds to attend this class. When I saw there would be one in Ohio, I've been aimed at going ever since. But until the funds are definitely available, I just can't commit. I sure hope I can get there!

I had quite a bit of luck using D300 with a fine cut Microfiber pad. Finished out very well on softer paint. Assuming your friend's Audi paint is a bit harder, you might try D300 and a medium cut microfiber pad, then the one step with a white pad if you need a second step. But as you'll read...

I'm from near Cleveland, so I have a few observations: 1) It WAS a huge 4 days financially for Cleveland. In addition to the dollars brought in by spectators and others, MLB left about $5 million here in the form of field improvements, mostly to fields in underprivileged areas of the city...

Bill, A coworker had a turkey vulture hit his windshield square on going about 45 MPH, with a newer (2016?) Silverado. Bird hit only the windshield. In addition to the windshield, the roof needed replaced. Funny, he used the same phrase you are. At dawn, I often see birds swoop in front of my...

OK all, I see discussion about bird bombs all the time. I pulled into my garage today with the intent to clean the accumulated bugs off the front of my car, and found this. How do I handle THIS bird bomb?

I asked for a set for father's day. I'm enjoying my new golf shirt.

I second the value of having at least one of these. I must be vertically challenged. I need mine for the roof of most sedans! I've been waiting for a sale to get another one. I also used some 3M anti-skid tape on the top and the side steps. I've already had it save me a couple of times, and...

And if you son will be travelling with an adult other than a parent, might I suggest having a notarized permission slip signed by both parents giving permission for the adult so that there can be no question about that adult's authority to take a minor over an international border?

When we collect birth certificate in our Boy Scout Troop to travel to Canada, we require families to obtain certified copies. These are available from the registrar in the county of birth. As with everything, there is a fee, but it has been our solution to a similar problem.

Paul, not saying you're wrong, but only a different perspective. My dad taught me that whenever I bought any tool, it should be the cheapest I could find. The only ones that break will be the ones I use often. When a tool breaks (used it often), THEN go out and buy the absolute best tool that I...

A LONG time ago, I worked for a company that had a very strict policy against any employee, even managers, from providing references for former employees, regardless if they were good or bad. I had a guy working for me that was a nightmare. I don't have enough room to list the problems he...

On the glass I used a glass pad and Optimum Hyper Polish, and it worked fine. On paint, I didn't try to polish any off, so I can't help you there. I did have one high spot the first time I applied, but I lived with it rather than mess around trying to fix it.

I've used Bead Maker on top of McKee's before as well, and did not notice anything like you describe. I stopped using it, as I don't feel the longevity is sufficient. I tried it because of the hype, and went back to McKee's Hydro Blue just because it did last longer. The only other think I...

I've used the McKee's coating three times. Each time, I sprayed directly on the panel, and spread in a cross-hatch pattern, then circular. I also made sure to overlap my sections significantly to avoid overspray not being leveled. The one error I did make the first time was near windows, where...

Bought the Speedmaster rolling stool. Had a cheap HF rolling seat, and the casters kept falling off. It was a pain in the a$$, but not too bad, until it tipped over with me on it, then it became an actual pain in the a$$.

I'm a huge fan of McKee's products, but this one to me is their best product. I don't do nearly as many customer's cars as most of you, but this is the "extra" I throw in to help make sure I over achieve and help make my customer ecstatic. It has never failed to get the "WOW!" reaction, and a...

Klasse, Generally, I think your method is more efficient. But when I'm trying to prep tires for a tire coating, your method usually takes three or four attempts. Using the machine takes me one attempt usually, and two at most. But you're right - If all I'm putting on is a tire shine product...

Mike, You did this same write up with the Mighty Mini about 8 months ago, and I went that route. By far the easiest method I've used to clean tires so far.

I feel like we're hijacking nakranij's thread, and for that I apologize. I only detail on the weekends myself (very rare occasion when I might be doing a friend's car that I am comfortable driving and letting him drive mine, then I might do one over two week nights). But sacrificing a weekend...
