    Griot's Garage in Tacoma

    I love most of their products, and I've tried quite a few. Their DA polisher is second to none with its power and lifetime warranty. I've moved away from using dedicated quick detailers but Griot's is some of the best. Their soft clay is really good and quite inexpensive. I also like their...

    Is Ultimate Compound the better way to go?

    105 is hard to work with, unlike UC, but it has great cut, which is why I suppose it is so popular on this forum. To me, UC is more like a medium cutting polish. I've switched to D300.

    The 370Z is gone!!

    As suggested earlier, you should probably use a name that is not tied to a specific auto. Imagine if your names had been based on DA's ;)

    Buyer BEWARE

    Front load washers are suppose to be more gentle on clothes, towels and mitts because of the lack of an agitator than the traditional top load washer. Consumer Reports tests both types of washers and specifically tests "gentleness" and, while there are exceptions to every rule, front load...

    High mileage oil?

    HM oil may stop or slow down the leak, but, because it is naturally thicker, you will have a slight loss in MPG and possibly horsepower. I have a V8 Lexus, which doesn't leak oil, and i went the opposite direction--- from 5W-30 to Mobil 0W-20. I got a slight jump in MPG and car revs faster and...

    Ultima: "Clearly Different"! What makes it so?

    I found another usage for UWW Plus. I was trying to clean my glass TV stand and decided to give this product a try. Even my wife said that she had never, ever seen it so clean; that whatever product she used dusted way too much. When I told her that I paid about $21 for 5 gallons her jaw dropped...

    Looking for a AIO.

    Duragloss 501 will fit your bill. It has both strong cleaners and nano-abrasives, and because it is a sealant, great longevity. Oh, it's also very inexpensive.

    Does your Griot's DA say PROFESSIONAL random orbital on the side?

    Mark has had a love affair with several polishers and has dumped them all---he doesn't seem to be the type to commit ;)

    Does your Griot's DA say PROFESSIONAL random orbital on the side?

    Mark, you mentioned earlier than on speed 4 the power was different. Is there a chance that while the wattage and engine are in fact the same that the speed settings have been changed some? That seems like the most logical conclusion given (1) Griot's response, (2) your wattage test, and (3)...

    Does anyone know how to upload pictures from a IPad ??

    All you need is Tapatalk to load pics. If you hit "reply to topic" in a thread there will be several icons at the bottom. One of them is for pics on your iPad that you can upload.

    Collinite 845 1.5 Dawn with APC+ 0, CarPro Eraser.5

    I think that most people wouldn't be able to tell a difference on a very well prepped car between a very expensive boutique wax and your $15 wax. However, the very big difference, as you point out, is longevity and Collinite has that market cornered.

    Does anyone know how to upload pictures from a IPad ??

    I have an ipad2 and recently got Tapatalk just because I wanted to load some pictures from there and my iPhone 4---best decision I've made in a while.

    Duragloss Users/Enthusiasts

    I find it so interesting how many people top Duragloss with Collinite. I also am part of this group---best bang for the buck wax and sealant!!!

    Ultima: "Clearly Different"! What makes it so?

    Is Ultima Waterless Wash Plus also VOC and petroleum free? I absolutely love this product and it has effectively replaced all of my QD's, waterless washes, and clay lubricants! I want to try Ultima Paint Guard Plus but two things have kept me away: the price tag and Duragloss 501. While I see...

    How do you get the brown "bloom" off tires?

    Cee Dog, when are we going to see that Brown Royale comparison? OP, I used to have this issue with my Michelins when I used tire shines but then I switched to one that both cleans and shines and the browning has never popped up again.

    Does your Griot's DA say PROFESSIONAL random orbital on the side?

    Mark, didn't you say that the 2nd Meguiar's also exhibited less power? Oftentimes, more power equals more heat which equals less longevity.
