    White Cotton Terry Towels for Interior work

    The 20 pack from Costco lint like crazy, even after being washed. Haven't found any that don't.

    Retail Products

    I'm an old timer too & as you said yesterday's products are but a shadow of what we use today. Not sure about what you mean by retail-available but if you're talking about going into Walmart or PepBoys there are lots of good things there: Megs, Mothers, Collinite, Leather Master and others that...

    Waxing

    DA is worth the money. Hand waxing 50 years later just isn't the same for these worn out arms. But I remember when...holding the yellow simoniz can in one hand and ...

    Incredibly Cheap Finds

    When I clicked on your link to product this message was above the $12.99 sale price: This product is on sale and is not eligible for any further promotional discounts, coupons or special offers. Odd.

    mixing back plates and black paint product ideas for noob??

    You don't need to use the GG pads with their backing plate. An 11 year old car that hasn't been taken care of will certainly need more than an all-in-one product. The usual sequence would be to clay the paint then use a polish then an LSP. You'll probably have to use an aggressive pad with the...

    The directions should be on the label.

    Pre-wax cleaner after Klasse All-in-one?

    I use it but only because I bought it after reading the marketing hype. Oldz is right I think.

    Another detail coming up need help

    Stickiness on carpets? What a moron whoever did that. I'd try Spot Shot.

    Anyone remember Danase Wet Glaze?

    Yeah Danase was really the rage until the marketing stopped then we heard less and less about it.

    Is this worth cleaning? Paint in carpet

    You'd need to find out the kind of paint first, acrylic, enamel or what, to know how to proceed.

    Pearl Metallic White Paint ... Wax or Sealant?

    Sealant has been my choice after trying wax; the look seems more crisp & eye catching.

    Depends on which president it is.

    Rejuvenating portlights

    Instead of going through all that, I'd try Meg's PlastX first. I use it on my license plate covers & on tail lights that are beat from the sun. Working by hand, a cotton cloth like an old thick T-shirt or terry cloth towel work well & brings back clarity where there has been fogginess.

    Free samples from the AG store - what's going on?

    I can't recall ANY company in any business telling customers that they'd be getting less than they had been getting for the same amount of money. Recent examples for me are big bags of potato chips with less inside, chicken with 15% rather than 10% of salt water added as 'a protectant', car...

    Senate GOP moves forward on health care bill in dramatic procedural vote

    I come to AG to get away from the BS of politics. Surely there are other places where this sort of thread is welcome.

    Detailing, a young mans game

    I know what you mean. With each passing year the same car seems more and more daunting; arthritic joints are the inevitable enemy.

    Question on cleaning/protecting silver

    You need to be careful with the bowl because too aggressive an approach will damage the plating. Here's a link to a technique that I've used with silver plated dinnerware & it works well, but I let the water cool a bit after boiling before putting the silver onto the aluminum foil. The water...
