    Your thoughts on 15,000 mile oil changes..

    15,000 miles is pushing it, but probably still safe depending on the oil, filter and engine. Newer direct injected gas engines are notorious for oil dilution with fuel, so no way I would take one of those to that kind of mileage. Older engines with intake port fuel injection have no problem...

    First attempt with BF One Step

    Thanks guys. My dad is really happy with how it turned out. Like I said, my previous go to was WG DGPS and that seemed to make it through the winter, but I usually applied it around Halloween. I’ve also used Collinite 845 and 476 for winter protection with great success but I was hoping to...

    First attempt with BF One Step

    Hey Guys, just wanted to share my experience using BF One Step for the first time. The test vehicle was my dad's 01 F150 Supercrew. In the past my dad's idea of "car care" was a few trips a year to the local coin op car wash and a thorough scrubbing/scratching with the old nasty scrub brush...

    Can you use a sealant with an all in one

    Yes, I think your thinking is correct. If you're planning on applying a sealant afterwards, there's really no reason to use an AIO. The main benefit of the AIO is that it accomplishes two things in one step, polishes and seals. Since you're planning on following up with a sealant anyway I...

    My bride is awesome!

    That is really cool! Sounds like your wife is definitely a keeper. Now for the question everyone is wanting to ask... what did you get her? ;)

    Final Inspection Auto Detailing moves into a new shop!!!

    That's the way to do it. I see you already have the cement floor, so too late now, but I put radiant floor heat in mine and it is amazing! Nothing like having a warm concrete floor when you're laying under something working on it. I'm looking into adding some mini splits for AC and to heat in...

    75’ run from bib to car: how would split hose length?

    I would use 50’ for each because I don’t have any 25’ hoses. :D

    Final Inspection Auto Detailing moves into a new shop!!!

    Congrats on the new house and barn. Are you planning to add a ceiling and finish the walls on your shop side? Morton builds some amazing barns. I built a 48x56 Morton a few years ago and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.

    What are some common myths and misconceptions about car detailing?

    Probably get similar results too after the first few cars run through it. :)

    How to type in a way that other people will read what you write

    I agree with this to a point. The major exception being people where English is a second language. I have received some emails from people at work where I could hardly follow their train of thought, but they have turned out to be some of the most brilliant people I have ever worked with. They...

    2021 Bronco reserved

    GM completely dropped the ball with the new Blazer. Like they really needed another meh SUV. A hardcore Chevy guy I work with was so upset when they released the new Blazer I almost felt sad for him... Almost ;)

    Dealing with Dust on "Garage Queen"

    A lot of good ideas and feedback guys, I really appreciate it. I have a small pop up style canopy that will cover part of the truck. I may try this just to see what it does. I’m thinking this should prevent a lot of the dust from settling on the truck as it would have to blow up under the...

    Dealing with Dust on "Garage Queen"

    Yep that’s a black truck under there. :) Not necessarily looking for a cheap solution and certainly not looking for a magic pill. Just wanted to get others’ ideas about what might work or not work to help reduce the amount of dust on the truck. I had thought about bed sheets also, but from...

    Dealing with Dust on "Garage Queen"

    Hey guys, I have a truck that sits for long periods of time (months) in a finished workshop without being driven and there is a lot of dust that accumulates on it. The truck is black and I'm basically having to wash it every time I want to drive it because it looks like crap with all the dust...

    Using A Pressure Washer

    A pressure washer works great for blasting off heavy mud or salt residue, just make sure to use a fan tip, (usually white, yellow, green), not the straight/zero tip (red). I mostly use the PW in the winter to rinse the salt off. I'll just blast it off with water every couple days and it really...

    Flex 3401 problems

    Might be a silly question, but since you say you bought it used, are you sure it is a genuine Flex tool and not a Chinese clone?

    Brand New Car, want a ceramic coating on it (I think). Which one?

    From the OP, it's actually got over 6 million (6500k) miles!!! :) Assuming that should be 6500 miles, I still agree that it probably has some small defects/swirls that are masked because of the color. I also agree about not believing the longevity claims. No way any coating is going four...
