    Anyone here in the Reading PA area?

    I live in Wyomissing just outside of Reading. Tired of sounding like a broken record but I've had 4 back surgeries and I'm in chronic pain everyday. I love working on my car but I can do so much then I have to rest or I really pay for it. I'm looking for a detailing buddy, even a newbie who...

    First time using CG car wash.

    I bought Chemical Guys car wash on my last order because I read some good stuff about it and it was supposed to make lots of suds for little product. Don't know the exact name but it's blue in color and you mix 1 oz to 5 Gallons. Maybe I have a hard water issue though my wife and mother in law...

    A Lambo just passed me in Pittsburgh

    There are several higher end kit cars that are Lamborghini clones and use a variety of engines. Many seem to use LS Chevy engines, some use BMW engines. Bang for the buck late model Corvettes are very affordable Supercars and claim 30 mpg highway if you keep your foot out of it.

    Newbie what dilutions should I make with APC & ONR?

    Thank you all for the replies. I did look at the ONR bottle and don't think I saw a dilution for QD. Are the dilutions and properties of QD and Clay Lube one in the same? Thanks, Dave

    Newbie what dilutions should I make with APC & ONR?

    Among my recent order I purchased for the first time a jug of Meg's APC and 32 oz ONR. I also picked up some Zep spray bottles at HD today. I'm new to both products. I expect to use the APC for engine detailing, cleaning my leather interior?, jams etc. How many different spray bottles of...

    Wash Bucket Options

    Thanks for the tips. I dropped by HD and picked up 2 White/clear 5 gallon buckets with foam handle, 3 Zep spray bottles, and a roll of 1" blue 3M tape. One step closer to detailing nirvana. Lol I wish I could buy their $19 foam gun but I can't find an adapter to my Karchner electric PW.

    Beginner trying to figure out an "essentials" kit

    Welcome and congrats on a New Car !!! A lot has been covered so I would add only this. Be extra careful where you park it. One of those fold out sun reflectors for the inside windshield when you park to protect the interior. And a spray bottle of quick detailer QD Meguiar's the red/burgundy...

    Does anyone know how to upload pictures from a IPad ??

    I want to load from my iPad also. I have TapaTalk. Did you need to buy the $1.99 image hosting option in order to load pics to AGO? I have images from a Meguiar's event a month ago that I need to put up here. I got an app to reduce their size, but like the OP I want to upload straight from my...

    Thoughts about car covers

    When we bought our black 96 SVT Cobra we knew it would sit outside for a month or so until the garage got cleared out. So I bought the Noah model. It protected pretty well from the weather, but I feel it did cause scratches on a clean car, with a brand new cover. Biggest issue was we had a...
