    First time detailing with a Hitachi SP18VA... any advice?

    Re: 2001 Explorer roof: Maybe a good place to start practicing with the rotary? The panels are horizontal- easy to see what you're doing; the rows are fairly narrow- make you work in a small area; and if you mess up, you're working on a roof that not very many people will see...

    Anyone else have trouble getting dressing to stay on Continental DWS tires?

    No problems here.. I used Meguiar's (I think Gold Class Endurance tire gel?) wiped it on them once, about 6 months ago, still on there but I don't like them too shiny so I don't reapply very often. Try cleaning the tires with Wesley's Bleche White first. Kind of works like a primer does for...

    Anyone do Leather/ Vinyl & Fabric Repairs?

    I ran into a guy at a car dealership. His mobile business is going to dealers to repair leather (and fabric I assume) seats on the lot. He only charges $80 per panel / section, so I have to assume there isn't much overhead to his business. I had him replace the pieces from seat-backs where TV...

    What's the Limit of DA Correction with 105?

    What exactly are you seeing after 105? Any change at all? In my (quite limited) experience with M105, I have found a few people think the M105 isn't working, when it is actually just leaving a haze that needs another step (such as 205) to see any improvement. Kind of a "it may look worse before...

    New from Southern NJ

    Gloucester County... after 20+ inches of rain over two weeks, including the 10" in one day from Irene, my sump pump had a workout, but no damage. Some neighbors without pumps had about 5" of standing water in their crawls, but easily pumped out and no damage, so overall I would say no big deal..

    Just did a side-by-side - help please!

    My new PC came with some Pinnacle pad cleaner and I think the stuff works great. I did notice however that the white pads, which are more absorbent than the others, are a little harder to clean.
