    Went to a Show N' Shine today

    More like Swirl N' Show!! I was pretty amazed, I checked every single vehicle and there was only 1 that had 0 swirls on it, very few (maybe 10%) had few swirls, the rest had lots n' lots of 'em.. a few more were coming in when I left, but still!! Thats 50+ vehicles, most were classics, and only...

    Big Lots: Pad Storage Solution

    Hahahahahaha... :p In the west! But really, if there are people who want yellow clay that bad and are willing to pay, when I take a trip down south later in the year I could stop by a post office and ship some out.. would be much cheaper to ship it from within the US than from Canada.. just...

    Menzerna IP and Wax

    Looks like light coming in through the tree to me. The Menz looks good on the white, I may have to try some, so you did not use the final polish?? Just went from IP straight to the wax?? Is the edge blue pad the same as the LC white pad?

    Nica..you scored

    No kidding, Xenon's are BRIGHT, I have them on the front of my car and did the same thing, wanted to see how it looked to oncoming traffic, well I was near-blind for a few minutes, probably isn't that bright though when your further away/driving towards it.

    I've been working away at my garage..check it out!

    Idea: dig a hole!! If it was rebared/cemented properly it will hold a pad of at least 6'x6' with a little bit of beam reinforcement just in case....Cellar baby!! You could hide ALOT of beer down there and maybe something else too hehe.

    Oil Filters?

    As far as aftermarket filters restricting the oil flow that is something that you would have to find out if your vehicle manufacturer approves of that such filter or not. Lots of these things depend on if you are still under warranty or not, if you are under warranty you have to do what the...

    On a dealers lot- I think they need to hire me

    Sooo true, every single stinkin vehicle that I lay my eyes upon I notice swirls now, especially since there are no quality detailers in town I take an extra good look at all the new Corvettes etc. and man are they swirly!!! Even just saw a red corvette from at least 10 feet away as it was...

    please read! final plan, I think

    I thought that the problem is that the polish stains the trim?? Or do some not do that? If so, does anyone know if Menzerna stains the trim? I've read that with most wax/sealants there is no problem so you don't need to tape if you aren't polishing? Also to the OP, you mention tape residue...

    Poor mans "not so foamy" soap gun

    Haha I saw one at my house in the backyard while I was suntanning and I got the same idea, went and got some cheap stuff from the garage (Eagle One...parent's stuff) put 5 oz in and sprayed it at the fence and there was no foam at all... The thing is 10 years old though so I'd imagine there are...

    The dollar store around here has alll kinds of different sized spray bottles, some 2 for $1, and I'm actually surprised at how good the spray nozzles are, they are the same as ones you get anywhere else for $3 each.. the one thing I cannot find however are clear plastic squeeze bottles for...

    What's wrong with Windex?

    I got streaks using Stoner's here and there but I think it was from using a really cheap MF towel.. However I just started using some Shaklee 'Basic H2' stuff recently... I really like it. Costs around $10 for a 16oz bottle. It is concentrated so you add 2 drops of it to 16oz of water in a...
