Good to know. I have no plans for a long throw DA, but if I start to get that itch, I'll start shopping for pads more likely to work correctly. Thanks!

Something BIG, indeed. Don't let us chowdahheads interrupt your holiday weekend, Nick. :)

It's no longer a secret. Yes, swanicyouth is the hall monitor. Let's all just enjoy the Austrian GP and the sale and call it good.

I believe Sonic is referring to the countdown timer, which has appeared to be meaningless in the past, but at the moment, it seems to be relevant. I'm not sure if there's been a problem on AG or if it's a browser issue on mine. Looks like I'll take the risk of missing out on something BIG and...

I agree on the wiper blade flyers. I hate 'em, and I suspect that's the general consensus of the kind of person that would spend money on having a car detailed. I don't like people messing with me vehicles, and I don't like the associated trash. You mentioned going to businesses, but have you...

Does LC's hook & loop not play well with Rupes hook & loop?

I'm sure Nick will be along to make everything right. He has to stop in soon for something BIG anyway. I'd like a heads-up on the end of a sale, but AG can manage their sales however they want. It's a free country yo. No complaints here.

Unless a product is UV reactive, don't worry about a little light reaching it. In the context of an automotive product, I'd be surprised if it was UV reactive in the first place, and even more surprised if the manufacturer didn't make note of the UV reactivity in the ad copy or the product...

Powered brush head on a vacuum?

I've been impressed with how well 303 products have worked on my camper and truck bed Softopper. Even after using a soft brush and car wash soap, I was still able to remove a considerable amount of filth from the topper with 303 fabric cleaner (not sure which one since they offer so many...

Old Product Amnesty Day! 50% off a new product of similar type. Old products must be Germanic, at least eight years old, and found in my garage. Wow! This really is something BIG. Nick, do I send my old Menzerna bottles to you?

So ... Chemical Geeks?

A commercial grade washer may be out of your budget, but they're usually good units that will last a very long time if maintained properly. If you're detailing full time, something like one of these would be a nice addition to the shop. A portable one with heat can be used for exterior building...

I like Karcher PWs due to parts availability. Frankly, after using a commercial grade, electric pressure washer with heat and high pressure soap, all of the consumer grade stuff is a bit of a joke. You may want to try Flexzilla hose. It's much easier to handle than the standard home store high...

Makes sense, and it may end up in my cart for the current sale. Thanks for the recommendation.

Agreed. Whatever is done needs to be planned and executed in the correct order or the end result will suffer. I'm not a professional detailer, but I have some experience with similar processes in machining. Much like his forum posts, I found Mike Phillips' Show Car Shine book to be informative...

Mike, if that's the original paint, you might find these articles useful. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-mike-phillips-your-detailing-questions/25304-secret-removing-oxidation-restoring-show-car-finish-antique-single-stage-paints.html...

I won't say how I obtained the video, but this may be a still from Nick's "Something BIG." rehearsal.
