    Scratching the car with Rinseless/Waterless wash?

    ONR using GDWM. trick is to use a sopping wet wash MF and no pressure or only enough to move the MF through each section/panel. same for the drying and buffing towels. id pre rinse if the vehicle were filthy to get any large debris off but that goes for the traditional 2 bucket method as well...

    Generators

    having been around my fair share of generators @ the racetrack, hondas seem to be the ticket as far as performance, reliability and noise levels are concerned. if it doesnt work out, resale value is high compared to other brands so youd get most of your money back

    TurtleWax Rinseless Wash

    is it the same dilution rate of ONR? or is it pre-diluted? ive told a few friends about ONR/WW, rinseless washes using the GDWM and most seem hesitant to try. this may be the ticket for them to delve into it without much investment if its indeed available at popular auto stores.

    Most lubricated car wash soap (2 bucket method)

    the rinseless concentrates all can be diluted less to be used as clay lube so it can be as lubricious as youd like :) i like ONR though for me using unfiltered tap/hose water, i dilute 1oz to 1gal. for rinseless washing using Garry deans method with ONRWW on the way, ill try their recommended...

    12x12 ez up canopy

    is it a straight-leg ez up? those will actually have the same shaded area of the footprinted size(12x12 canopy will get you 12x12 of shade), be better constructed and typically run above 100 and closer to 200. check the hinges for any bowing or deformity and the canopy itself for discoloration...

    Will topping opti-coat just add swirls?

    even if you do top it, it will only be to increase temporary shine (< 2wks) im not up on all the differences of OG v OC2.0 but i know the flash times are different when applying; OG being less "user friendly". does that apply to cure time as well? if it fully cures you can top it, if not id be...

    Help Me Pick A Camera

    i like SLRs but find them too bulky for day to day. and if youre not going to carry it, youre not going to use it. most mid-range point n shoots will have most of the same features and options an SLR has without the higher quality lenses. they wont be as good in low light or shots from a...

    Issues with black paint on a relatively new car.

    chances are if you're seeing it on your black vehicle, the same techniques are marring the others, just not as obvious. i have a CTS-V as my DD and the good thing is, it's black. the bad thing is...it's black. looks great at night, daytime or with ample lighting, any and every imperfection will...
