    I need to rent a car

    Thanks all. Patents live in KW. Been there many times (always during Thanksgiving), but only via plane to KW. I'm making a weird diversion from Cuba, so it would just be a one way drive from Miami to KW. Definitely going to do the slow drive with frequent stops, because I've only been to KW...

    I need to rent a car

    Excellent point. It will be the last week in Nov, which is generally pretty nice in KW. I've never driven a convertible of any sorts, so the thought was appealing to me. Not having any kids made it even more so! Either way, the time by myself on the road will probably be the main factor in...

    I need to rent a car

    This will probably be an easy question to answer, and I am sure there will be no strong opinions either way. :) I'll be flying into Miami and driving to Key West. Since my family will be on a separate flight (long story), I will be driving to Key West by myself (long story). I figured I rent a...

    McKee's SIO2 Wash

    Man, I'm a sucker for shampoos. I'll have to add this one to my cart for my coated vehicles. However, I have two bottles of Gyeon Bathe+ and a bottle of TAC Mystic Repellent! Ah, what's another shampoo!!!

    Did I go through the clear?

    I agree with pdqgp. There are some reasonable paint gauges that are <$250. I suspect I have the one that many have - the Nicety paint thickness gauge, and it cost me $100 or so on ebay. It came with calibration films. The PTG are very useful in that they -- as Mike Phillips warns -- tell you...

    2001 Carerra 4 Goes from Meh to WOW!

    Outstanding turnaround on a trashed Porsche! How did you correct the paint on the hatch lid vents?

    Favorite beer, if not a beer drinker, favorite beverage in general.

    Historically, my favorite had been Guinness. However, I have grown to like more and more the Belgian beers. Having said that, I tend to drink more wine: Pinot Noir (Oregon > California) Bordeaux blends Cabernet Sangiovese (Sent via my mobile device...)

    22 hours per day? Consistently? No. No you don't. (Sent via my mobile device...)

    NEW MC KEES sio2 WASH

    If this product has a similar amount of silica as does Bathe+ or Mystic Repel, which are around d 5%, this is going to be a nice bargain at $50 per gallon. The test will be the incidence of streaking with dwell time. (Sent via my mobile device...)

    Post Your Beading Shots!!!

    I didn't think Dodo Juice was streaky. Oily, but after a quick light buff, there was no sign of it. (Sent via my mobile device...)

    Video: Which car air fresheners do WOMEN like?

    Yes. I've found that very few like mine. [emoji12] (Sent via my mobile device...)

    Video: Which car air fresheners do WOMEN like?

    Interesting take on things. However, I must object to the methodology! Your test subject did not first perform a validated test of olfaction, such as the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test or the Sniffin' Sticks. Once the test subject(s) is confirmed to have normal smell...

    CarPro Essence Plus on Uncoated Paint

    I think this is going to get you a couple of months of decaying durability. I've used it several times for spot "repairs" of swirled areas, and the areas are fairly quickly noticeable again -- usually a couple of months later. On the other hand, it is nice to have around for doing quick visual...

    Water spots on vehicle coated in June 2017

    I think that what I've found with coatings is that there is a need to wash ASAP after the rain. That and frequent use of toppers to keep the hydrophobic properties strong. (Sent via my mobile device...)

    Water spots on vehicle coated in June 2017

    This has been an interesting thread. I think there are valid arguments on both sides of the issue in terms of whether a water spot remover actually removes the coating. Chemically speaking, the weak acids in water spot removers shouldn't be able to break the SiO2 bonds. However, I do firmly...

    Logo feedback.

    It's pretty neat. A couple of thoughts and suggestions: 1. what is the little red line above the "M" in the word "IMPERIAL"? 2. why is the "M" in a different font? My suggestion is to remove the little thingy above the M and match the font. Also, consider the expense of doing any print work...

    Has anyone tried carpro fog fight

    Well, I don't smoke and my window wasn't dirty 3 days later... But I agree with you that off-gassing does create films. (Sent via my mobile device...)

    Has anyone tried carpro fog fight

    I've used it, and after a few days, I no longer saw any benefit. I also tried it on my mirrors in the bathroom, and it didn't work there at all (not surprised about that). (Sent via my mobile device...)
