    Bizarre crystals on car...

    Not sure whats going on, but the past two days there have been white crystals on the paint. Up to 2-3mm in size. Mostly on the deck lid. They look like sugar. There's a bunch of them trapped under the spoiler. They're kinda stuck to the paint when I run my hand over the deck lid No, I didn't...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Invested in some new clay... after realizing the stuff I have is a few years old & probably past it's best :)

    Progress on the SB Honda

    Car survived running around town during the dust storm, but now it's parked outside again. Just put the trash out & the car looks like I could grow a crop of taters on it... Update.... Yesterday: Today: Grabbed the California Car Scratcher... I think it's as dead as the paint, all it...

    Progress on the SB Honda

    Bit blowy here today, CHP just closed 8 miles of freeway owing to multiple wrecks from the dust storm. I guess I'll be getting all my work sand blasted when I have to go out in about an hour.

    Progress on the SB Honda

    Just realized there's no pics of the sides of the car...So here ya go, all sorts of scratches, dings, dents & chips.... plus the PAX side door got keyed before I owned it. Actually pretty shiny. That small piece of wood next to the C25 gas bottle is Teak. About 25 years ago a guy I knew...

    What do you put on a vehicle that never gets washed or rained on?

    I live in the Mojave Desert. The test area with the 303 Graphene collected twice as much dust as the rest of the car. As for the bike: The main issue with Kaw's is the complete lack of UV protection in the factory finish. It's not unusual for the bikes to change color. Back in '76 they made...

    What do you put on a vehicle that never gets washed or rained on?

    I tried that Graphene 303 already, won't be using it again. Turned my car into a dust magnet.

    Underrated/Overlooked: Meguiar’s Hybrid Paint Coating

    I worked for a couple of years making *black stuff* for aircraft. There were all sorts of warnings about graphite & carbon. The scary one was CF splinters causing wounds that look exactly like Anthrax blisters... Knew what anthrax blisters looked like owing to working fur auctions for HBC in...

    What do you put on a vehicle that never gets washed or rained on?

    Specifically this '99 Kawasaki ZRX1100 that has 120,000 miles on it. TBH, it has been washed with soap/water maybe three times over the past 22 years & has been ridden in the rain no more than four times (rain is kinda scarce in the Mojave).. so ability to bead water off isn't an consideration...

    Progress on the SB Honda

    So I see the post about the Megs HPC so I decided to get some for the bike & the Camaro. Went to AZ & paid $28.65 for a kit. That was the good part... The bad part I backed the SB Honda out of the garage, paused while the door closed & the lawn sprinklers went off on the right side of the car...

    Progress on the SB Honda

    Car is in the garage until Monday, got ambitious. Did some clay work to get the yellow paint off the left quarter panel & rear bumper (aerosol can was rolling across the road, nailed it with the left rear wheel about three months ago). Bit more compound & polish work (on the left side). Then...

    What's everyone's thoughts on the Covid-19 situation?

    Probably for the same reason that total Flu numbers are just an estimate & if you aren't showing up at the hospital it's not worth tracking. I've had three Pfizer shots. My sister in the UK had the AZ vaccine & had a bad reaction to it. She was off for 9 days from the day after the jab. She...

    So Chemical Guys Eh?

    Thread from the dead... I bought some of their Heavy Metal Polish, it's great on shiny aluminum. The wheels on my ZRX11 have the edges stripped & polished. I was using Autosol that required another dab every 6inches of rim. This CG stuff will do the entire side of one rim with barely a drop &...

    Road Paint Removal

    I have to take care of this issue with the SB Honda. About 2 or 3 months ago I nailed an aerosol can of yellow paint that was rolling across the road with the left rear wheel. Looks like pollen on the quarter panel & left side of the bumper.
