    I would also love to review this. I have been using my leaf blower and have been on the fence about adding a dryer.

    Using a da scrub brush and vacuum

    As he said if the system allows it. You need to check the guage of the existing wires to see if the circuit will support 20 amps (12 g ). just changing to a 20 amp breaker is a good way to start a fire.

    Most aggressive effective combo for Porter Cable 7424

    So far for me, LC microfiber pads with Car pro clear cut has produced great results with my PC. Even better than 105 and it finishes better too. But with just a PC you are in for some work no matter what pad/compound.

    Anyone else just sick of the NFL?

    I'm sick of the politics and rule changes. I'm watching to be entertained not to have someone else's political views shoved down my throat. I agree it's going the way of Nascar.

    Frustrated with dusting of Meg's M105. Alternative options?

    Give car pro clear cut a shot, it's my go-to now. Very little dust and finishes almost perfect.

    The case against multi-year ceramic paint coatings - Road Grime = Surface Staining Daily Drivers by Mike Phillips

    I also agree location may be the big factor here. For me living in NH one of the main reasons for using a coating was winter protection. I purchased my car in late November and the snow was already here so I waited for spring and did not get to test in the winter. I coated in April and for the...

    Show us your pet.

    So after losing my buddy back in February, we had decided to take a while before we got a new dog but that didn't last long. So we now have a new pup, Magnus. I forgot how fast mastiffs grew, he was 19 lbs in the picture at 8 weeks and now at 12 weeks he is 40.

    The case against multi-year ceramic paint coatings - Road Grime = Surface Staining Daily Drivers by Mike Phillips

    A few from the dealer and a few from washing the car. Also I know for a fact winter will add several that I would normally polish out in the spring. Again the biggest thing for me is I just enjoy the process of using a wax or sealant more than I do a coating. I don't think it's a chore to wax...

    The case against multi-year ceramic paint coatings - Road Grime = Surface Staining Daily Drivers by Mike Phillips

    So for the first time I used a ceramic coating this year and to be totally honest I don't think I would do it again. The coating went on without any problems and it looks good but having a black car no matter how careful I am with a daily driver I have picked up a few light scratches I have had...

    Initial Testing Thoughts: Carpro Rapid Cut Compound

    Initial Testing Thoughts: Carpro Rapid Cut Compound

    I have an Audi with hard black paint and I only use a pc so I made quite a few passes to clean up the scratches with a microfiber pad before I had any dust so no complaints from me. I used the same Pc and pads with both 105 and menzerna 2500 with no luck before the clearcut.

    Initial Testing Thoughts: Carpro Rapid Cut Compound

    I normally use 105 but I had a few deeper scratches in my black Audi that I couldn't get out with 105 and my PC. I ordered a bottle of clear cut and was able to remove the scratches without too much trouble. I will be using clearcut from now on. I did get a little dust but I agree is finishes...

    Is this Pollen?

    I would say yes I had the same thing the other day. My car was covered in yellow but after a light rain that was not enough to rinse the pollen off just pooled the pollen in the water beads then dried.
