    whats a schmitt mitt?

    Many opinions on where specific wash tools follow in order of greatness but I believe you will find that most people rank micro fiber mitts below that of a quality lambs wool mitt. The ShMitts in my opinion rival the level of the wool mitt. I also happen to like a good Natural Sea Sponge but...

    Talking about it is usually where the process begins to get a product to that point in its life cycle.

    This was on my friends F-150 though I have had an Eaton on two of mine.

    What do you find most disappointing about your car's exterior?

    The most disappointing thing about my vehicles exterior is that it doesn't say Saleen S7 on the side of it.:D

    How many of you do your own maintenance??

    Man the way my bones feel in these recent sub zero temps I think I might agree. I however would miss the mountains just like you would miss the ocean. I look out my front door and could hit an 11,000 foot tall mountain with a rifle. Just can't get that down your way.

    How many of you do your own maintenance??

    Well.... yes and that too, but I don't think you have to be in order to take care of your own. Those credentials are much more important when you start charging someone for your work. I have a number of friends that don't hold the certifications I do but do marvelous work on their vehicles. They...

    How many of you do your own maintenance??

    That goes to show you there are two mindsets here. Some wouldn't trust a dealer on a bet, others trust the dealer above anything else. I fall into the former camp, after all who can I trust more than myself assuming I'm capable of doing a job? I believe it's the difference of being someone who...

    How many of you do your own maintenance??

    I do it all, though much more slowly than I used to. I recently put a Super Charger on a 5.4 Ford SuperCrew and upgraded the automatic transmission with a few goodies to handle the extra torque. I also put a SuperCharger pulley, injector kit on a friends 05 Ford GT. It came from the factory with...

    Cleaning Cast Aluminum Suggestions ????

    Machine shops use it to clean all kinds of metal parts. It's just media blasting in a blast cabinet and the media of choice is glass beads. It works extremely well on aluminum that has something less than a full polish on it. It leaves more of a satin finish. The downside is that when it's used...

    Cleaning Cast Aluminum Suggestions ????

    You could always have them glass beaded and then have a clear coat added. This will preserve the look you want and keep the shine down but will be much easier to clean.

    Polishing "Fun"

    I saw this post too but assumed the word "not" was left out of the sentence having read the balance of the thought.

    Polishing "Fun"

    Obviously all hind sight vision is 20/20 and the last thing you need is a bunch of people pointing their fingers at you. That said, there are a couple of things worthy of note that perhaps I would do differently. The Orange Edge pad has a pretty decent amount of bite to it, using it with...

    Ahhh... I guess I wasn't thinking about having a need for a more stringent shampoo. Makes sense.
