    Myths In Detailing ?~?~?~?~?

    I love the people who think the $1000+ paint treatment they got from the dealer means they won't ever have to wax their car! Jim

    F-150 Honeycomb Grill

    I could see where this would be a major PITA as there are so many honeycomb areas to clean. I would try one of those small foam painting brushes to coat every area with product (Megs Ultimate Detailer?), and perhaps twisting a small MF towel and pulling it back and forth in every hcomb area to...

    HDTV Purchase advice needed

    The array of choices out there is mind boggling, making a choice is often a roll of the dice. Six months ago, I found a 47" LG (47ld650) at Costco for $800. This set did not have LED,3D, but did have 240 MHZ) but most of the user comments said the picture was better than most LED sets they...

    To glaze or not to glaze

    I use the same combo (well, I use Danase Wet Glaze, which must be similar, but will have to find something else now that DWG is discontinued), and it's a killer combo! DWG really makes the paint look super wet and adds lots of POP to the finish. DWG is also the only thing I've seen that makes...

    New from Minnesota

    Welcome! I'm in Minnesota, too (Red Wing). I'm afraid you won't be able to do much paint correction without a DA (unless you have a trained gorilla). Buy a Griots 6", some pads and Megs #105/#205/#7 (or Ultimate Polish; Ultimate Compound). I use BlackFire Wet Diamond and Danase Wet Glaze for...

    1966 Dodge Charger Exterior Correction

    Had one of these when I was a kid (back in 1970 or so). Mine was black; 383 4 spd. The flip down trunk panel was great for sneaking friends into the drive-in movies. Never looked as nice as this one. Have to laugh at the "new" Chargers based on a 4 door sedan; a travesty. Yours is a REAL...

    The Cure for M105's short working time and dusting issues

    Haven't tried the baby oil method, but I have found a solution that, for me, has worked perfectly: BEFORE applying #105 to the pad, lightly mist the pad with a couple spritzes of Megs #34 detailer (maybe others will work, but I use this). Then, prime the pad using the Kevin Brown Method and go...

    Flyer templates

    Does anyone have a good source for flyer templates that are specific to vehicle detailing (sorta like just filling in your business name, services, etc.)? They could be created on MS Publisher, Word, powerpoint, MS Digital Image Suite, Serif PagePlus, etc. Jim
