    My Camaro is pretty much finished.

    I'm so glad you removed the black plastidip from the wheels. Just that in itself made the car look 100 times better. When are you taking it to the track?

    New lightweight wheels for the SRT

    Yes, I went down from a 17x8 (wrapped in 245/40) wheel (44# per corner) down to a 15x7 (31# per corner). The new rims weigh about 13.5# each.

    New lightweight wheels for the SRT

    I dropped approximately 55# of rotating mass by installing these new lightweight wheels. While I had the car off the ground, I coated the wheels, calipers, and inner fender liners with Carpro DLUX. Next up is adding a layer of rubber to the front fender liners at the dragstraip. :awesome:

    Toyota Supra

    For $50k+, I'd want at least 400 horsepower out of a "sports car".

    Toyota Supra

    It's just another over-priced, under performing car IMHO.

    Earplugs Use Benefits

    I never used to wear ear plugs, but now I wish I would have now that I'm older and can't hear as well. I had a custom set of molded silicone ear plugs made at a motorcycle show about 3 years ago and use them whenever I'm doing paint correction, using the vacuum, and even when I'm using the leaf...

    Cleaning Fender wells (liner under the fender)

    That brush works fine with that HUGE fender gap. Good luck using that on a sports car or a lowered vehicle. This reminds me that I need to jack up my car, pull the wheels, and get in there for the upcoming Mopar show in early March.

    New Car - Thinking of Coating

    Not re-apply the coating, but do a thorough clean with something like Carpro reset and apply a topper like Carpro Reload. Since you've not used a coating before, I'd just give it a try. You don't know what you're missing until you try it.

    Video: NEW Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax! Is it worth the hype?

    I was there at 8:00am on the first day so some of the attractions weren't there yet. I got to go on a drifting ride in a Hellcat and raced my buddy in a Demon vs. Demon simulated drag race. The car actually came up off the ground about 2 feet at launch, so it was kind of realistic. Other than...

    Video: NEW Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax! Is it worth the hype?

    Either Carpro Reload or Wolfgang DGPS 3.0.

    Video: NEW Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax! Is it worth the hype?

    I just picked up a bottle of this at the Barrett Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ for $10 directly from Meguiar's . After seeing your video, I can't wait to use it.

    what does 9H mean in relation to coating

    IMHO, it's just a silly marketing ploy. I haven't noticed coatings being any less resistant to swirling or light scratches than the original clearcoat that comes with a car from the factory.

    Gotta love the world of autogeek, met an autogeek fraternity brother today.

    Cool story. I purchased my Flex 3401 and a set of Autogeek buckets with roller from a guy on Craigslist earlier this year. He had specifically bought them to detail his Porsche a couple years ago. That car was totaled in a wreck and he lost interest. I was reluctant to purchase new since I...

    Time to “step it up” .... thoughts?

    Foam cannon = Pressure washer Foam gun = Garden hose I bought the cheapest PW that Home depot sells in early 2018 and wish I had made the switch sooner. You get more than 2x the foam, and use less water. It's a win/win. I work out of my own driveway so I specifically do not want a loud gas...

    Flex cordless blower

    Honestly, I picked up a Kobalt cordless leaf blower at Lowe's just over a year ago for $89 and love the thing. It's quiet, light and does the job just fine. I really don't see what I'm getting for an additional $200 + shipping.
