    Hydra-Sports 600 horsepower-35 foot boat

    Looks good. I would have expected it to take much more time. I know I've spent much more time on my 22' boat.

    Vacation detail for the parents

    In the 4th pic, you can really notice the marring left behind by the Nanoskin. They are fast, but I wouldn't use it unless I planned on polishing immediately after.

    First Time Clay Bar, Wax, & Rim Polish!

    I've seen this damage before on powder coated wheels. If it was me, I'd get them recoated. I tried Sonax on some damaged powder coated wheels thinking there was dirt still remaining after initially cleaning them, but the Sonax stayed green, no further contaminates to be removed.

    It's about knowing how to work the pad.... And the vehicle being mostly flat... Thanks! Just saw your thread where you cleaned that Jeep, looks sharp!

    2009 140k mile Black Chevy Avalanche Work Truck

    Yup. Meguiar's Maroon 7 inch Soft Buff 2.0 pad, Yellow 7 inch Soft Buff 2.0 pad, and a Black 7 inch Soft Buff 2.0 pad. I've been using them for years with success. IDK if it makes a difference, but I'm not using a PC 7424XP, I have the way old 7336.

    2009 140k mile Black Chevy Avalanche Work Truck

    Wow. This one kicked my ass. Black 2009 Chevy Avalanche that had only been run though gas station wash racks since 2009. Take a lesson here guys, wash racks are bad. Think about every time you've driven your excessively muddy vehicle in to one, all that dirt is now on the equipment. That...

    ATD Detail: Switch Blade Silver C7 Stingray w/Sonicwax

    FWIW, in 2008, I was 27 when I bought my 2004 C5 Z06. I was living in Las Vegas, had a pretty clean driving record, and my 6 month premium was $406. Yes, for full coverage.

    New C5 Corvette in garage

    I just remember controlling the throttle with my right hand and wiping my visor like crazy with my left hand. We're talking full on wipers set on high action.

    New C5 Corvette in garage

    Porsche's are from Germany!! Most people don't think about it, but it snows a lot over there in Bavaria! I've heard many stories of people driving them through really rough weather and living to tell the tale. I would assume with them being RWD and rear engine that forward propulsion would...

    New C5 Corvette in garage

    Looks awesome, one of my all time favorite Vette colors. Also love it on a 4th gen F-body. I'd say drive it! But that's just me, I don't keep them long enough to worry about it. Come to think of it, every car I've ever owned has been driven in snow. Heck, I just took the CTS-V out yesterday...
