I run a dedicated set of winter wheels and tires on my car and I bought a new car so I had to buy new wheels. They are BBS SR painted in the Anthracite color. (Kind of a gun metal gray but I digress) I am considering what I should do with them as I am a few months from installing them. I was...

I waxed the inside of my garage door so it wouldn't get dusty and get anything on my cars when I opened it. It worked.

I am not deserving of such a beast but the DA I have has been used with great success on my stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, mirrors, windows - basically anything flat that I like shiny. I wax basically everything in my house. Seriously a quick polish and sealant on stainless...

I, for no logical reason, do not like to leave soap on a panel for longer than necessary so I... 1. Wash the panel with as few strokes as necessary 2. Rinse the panel The rest of my process is identical other than I use a leaf blower to take the majority of the water off and have a dozen...

Mike, Yet again you changed the way I care for my cars. I have a ton of drying towels now that I do not care to think about how much I spent. I have a ridiculously overpowered leaf blower that takes care of most of the water which certainly helps with patting vs wiping. It is again a situation...

This thread is making me so happy. I have evolved and ride a current model and don't miss the geometry of the old bikes but man, the old ones are so beautiful. There's a BMX shop in Clawson, MI called Albe's. They have a vintage BMX show every year and if you can find their facebook page they...

Mike, Due to you linking this article in the thread I started I came home from work and had 45 minutes before dinner. I did a gentle two bucket wash, dried with my RedMax EBZ7500, stretched the car, wiped down the sills and had everything clean and back in the garage before dinner. Autogeek is...

It shows and I have basically memorized it. I am an engineer so over-research is my forte. You take a lot of the mystery out of detailing paint which was my most difficult mental barrier. Becaue of this book I have dropped around $500 on Auto Geek in the past year and I have yet to be...

Thanks so much Mike! I made the best looking Cruze at the Milford Proving Grounds with your book and WAY less work than I thought. I can't believe you share so much wonderful information but I promise that I spread the love.

I have no pictures (so it didn't happen?) and I have decided that M205 with an Orange CCS Lake Country Pad topped with The Wolfgang DGPP it a significant improvement. I did (in a moment of weakness?) succumb to the 20% off coupon last night and ordered (among other things like 6 orange pads) the...

The paint looks complex if that is even a thing. I am due a PBMG box in the next couple of days. I might have a late weeknight coming. Seeing the swirls in the sun today leads me to believe that there is significant potential for a striking appearance.

Ah Cadillac. My Cadillac. A Cadillac is a very special car. In Warren or Milford, where I work, there are Cadillacs a plenty. I spend my days working on Escalades and CT6s. I spent a lot of time in SRX development mules. I got to use a 2014 CTS-V for a week. Cadillacs, Cadillacs everywhere but...

I also have Wolfgang Perfekt Paint and the Uber Coating. :-x Like I said, addict. I guess there are worse chemicals to be addicted to.

So I bought a Griot's 6" DA with Meguar's 105/205 in a package here. I don't remember why exactly I chose that particular package but I agonized a long time. I had a 2014 Chevrolet Diesel Cruze finished in Black Granite Metallic. After following all the directions here I topped it with WGDGP3...

Perhaps not what you are looking for but I bought a 2016 Fit Bike Co Benny 2 and no longer miss the old geometry at all. That said a soak will be ok but the pitting is a little concerning. BMX frames typically lead very hard lives and even something like a Mongoose Expert could very well have...

Waiting for the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Polish 3.0 to cure. 1. Washed with Wolfgang Uber Rinseless. 2. Applied Wolfgang DGPP 3.0 with a Griot's DA and a CCS Blue Finesse pad. 3. DP wheel coating 4. Hand buffed it with Cobra mirofiber The interior was cleaned and treated with Blackfire.

All brakes have dust but I think I know what you are insinuating. There are three brake packages available in the ATS line. The base brakes, which are fantastic and the Brembo packages. The lower one (which I have) have the upgraded calipers but solid rotors and high performance pads. The...

Ah, I do not know for certain. When I do finally take the two days to fully detail the car - probably in a week - I go so far as to put the car on jack stands and remove the wheels to clean and coat both sides. Also, I have the upgraded brakes that include the "Cadillac" branded calipers that...

Wow, thanks for all the replies. Instead of multi quoting I will just try to answer everything. 1. I am turning into a total Wolfgang fanboi as well. I am running out of things to buy. 2. For the process. a. I used two buckets with grit guards. Rinse and solution. The directions did not...

Was it really that easy? I bought a new car and it immediately got rained on twice. I had the Uber Rinseless sitting in a cabinet since last fall. I finally tried it. HOLY EASY. Seriously, three gallons of water? Carefully doing one panel at a time gave me the unintended bonus of carefully...
