The car is finished. The video shows the process start to finish with before and after pics. That was the first thing I thought when I saw all the silt and dirt in the trunk.... FLOOD CAR! But, nope. That's all dirt from the traveling the dirt roads of the desert along the US - Mexico border...

As the title implies, this is the story of a vehicle which was seized by the Border Patrol somewhere in the desert near the Mexican border which had been used to smuggle people from Mexico into the U.S. My next door neighbor got the car for free due to the fact that no one would bid on it...

Wow, I'm so sorry I didn't see this back when you posted it. The CQ at Ray & Arizona Ave. in Chandler has pulled all their inventory from the shelves and have it one small shelf behind the counter. Everything is priced at or near cost. I was a tournament girls' fast pitch softball coach for 10...

Thanks everyone for the great tips and suggestions. I'm going to try both brushing and spraying to see which method suits me best. Eat, Sleep, Detail, Repeat.

Thanks, everyone for the suggestions. I guess the problem I have with the spray method is overspray. How do you avoid overspray? Here's the truck.

:iagree:

My next door neighbor has a big, obnoxious Dodge Heavy Duty 4X4 truck with a 16" lift kit and all kinds of other various mods. The tires are enormous Nitto Grappler's with knobs that extend out to the sidewall. The knobs are big which creates fairly deep valleys between them. The pic below...

Regarding the Car Quest <> Advance Auto discussion earlier this last week.... Just went to CQ's site and for the first time since AA bought CQ, the merger is now acknowledged on the site. CarQuest.com still loads but you have to enter your zip to find a location. The page that then loads is the...

Oh man, the list is somewhat long of the things I've taken my DA to around here. An LC cc cutting pad with Meg's UC does an incredible job on cultured marble countertops! Follow that up with some M205 and it's like glass! Use an LC heavy cutting yellow pad and some m105 on a glass top stove to...

**sigh** The things the ignorant and unenlightened allow to spill out of their mouths.... :laughing:;) IF DG decided to grant me one wish, I'd wish that the "just wiped" appearance you get from anything that gets touched with AW had more last-ability! But, that's probably just me. I'm sure...

No one really seems to know. There's no talk of re-badging the stores, at least not right away. My buddy at the local store said he was first told all acquired stores would be brought under the AAP umbrella within 12-18 mos. of the acquisition. That time came and went and there had been no...

Yup, as soon as Advanced bought them, the store managers got a list of items, brands, etc. that were not carried by Advanced and they were to liquidate inventory. Since CQ is the only place in AZ that carries DG products, I got to know the guys at my local store fairly well over the years and...

The 2 standouts are a suicide note and a prosthetic leg. Have found a few guns, sex toys, a toupee (oddly, the car's owner had a full head of hair), various drugs, The oddest request I've ever gotten was when I was asked if I could be trusted not to open the trunk of one particular car. To...

I like it a lot! What I like most about it is its drying time compared to most everything else - especially when you consider how shiny it can be. You'd swear if was solvent based. Here in Arizona, it's dry to the touch within 10 mins. of applying it. It has good lastability and one added bonus...

I've had great success removing Endurance using a bucket of hot water, Dawn and a tire brush.

I have seen the Marine 31 forum mentioned in a lot of threads here in this forum as being the one to consult regarding gel coat-specific info. However, the Marine 31 forum has only 5 threads in it. Am I missing something? What forum should I read to get info specific to gel coat oxidation...

When I came back to the page to view your reply, at that time it was your 666th post! Yikes!

Here's your very own personal copy.

Advises you to stand back a little ways when he fires up his 250 psi Karcher power washer, which is just slightly less powerful than the water pressure coming out of the garden hose when turned on fully - without any spray attachments! Refers to it as his "Yellow Fellow", one mean and mighty...
