    What did you do today non-detailing related?

    Yeah, Briggs deleted drain plugs a while ago. And yes, the "no oil change required" thing is bullsh.t, clearly intended to shorten the life of the engine and prompt you to buy a new one sooner. Krohler do it too. Please ignore that sticker. You can drain the oil via the dipstick, just be sure...

    TWHS flex wax discontinued.

    Pretty much, they reacted too late and have been left behind. Perhaps if they replaced some of the older products with the new stuff, in turn spurring rather than diluting existing sales. As for shopping, 99.9% of what I buy is online due to the wider range, higher performing products and...

    TWHS flex wax discontinued.

    I know I harp on it, but the same applies to most American brands sold here, the only brand that is realistic with pricing is P&S.

    TWHS flex wax discontinued.

    I think there are two halves to the purchase of detailing products, both in the customer and type of retailer. Once upon a time, almost everyone would have purchased their detailing products from an auto store, I'm talking pre-internet days here. These days, you have a subset of consumers...

    Brand New Ford Headlamp Assemblies - to coat or not to coat

    Pretty silly regulation in the guise of road safety, which is in complete contrast to wearing seat belts being OPTIONAL in the US.

    How many diesel Ford Ranger's get their exhaust tip polished? After cleaning with soapy water from my wheel bucket, which was Megs Hyper Wash today, it was time for an old favorite, P21S Polishing Soap..................................... Following that, Dr. Beasley's Metal Coat, which...

    TWHS flex wax discontinued.

    For Turtle Wax's target market, all they see is two products from the same company sitting on the shelf that do the same thing, one is cheaper, one is more expensive. When all you want it a clean car and nothing more, then the cheaper product prevails. For the enthusiast customer, they will be...

    TWHS flex wax discontinued.

    Listening to a podcast the other day, the guest was speaking of Turtle Wax's struggle to market their newer, more premium products. As in, the general consumer see's Turtle Wax as a value brand, not the maker of top-end products, in turn ignoring the pricier line. Despite the new products being...

    Coating my new Car, critique my plan

    I think you are on the right track with all that. With the glass polishing, you can afford to be more aggressive with pad and compound, so choose you heaviest cutting pad (foam, wool, microfiber) and team it with you heaviest cutting compound. With the plastic trim, most spray sealants are...

    Brand New Ford Headlamp Assemblies - to coat or not to coat

    This is what Tas is referencing here, they are clear polycarbonate headlight covers that provide impact and UV protection. They don't impede vision or tint the light output. They are made by the OEM and commonly supplied as a dealer fitted accessory for pretty much every vehicle on the market...

    I don't know how obvious it is, but I've been getting more and more angry of late. "People" say having a "positive outlook" is important. Well, how do you have a positive outlook when you see nothing but negativity, both in those around me, but mainly within myself? It's not a light switch, I...

    For a long time now, unless its a number I recognise, I never answer the phone. Before I made that decision, I was being spammed multiple times a day and I didn't have the time to waste on nonsense. I remember someone trying to sell me an exotic holiday, to which I bluntly said that I don't...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Clarity Creme is on another page for ease of use. I'd still tape up before starting, and it will dust a little bit but nowhere near the mess created by CeriGlass. You also don't need supramental wetting agent or need to be extremely careful with residue and heat control. The only other thing I...
