    Help build a G9 “kit”

    I could get both but I’m not sure I need both of them right now. Sounds like the GG6 is the way to go. Now to start building my GG6 kit instead.

    Help build a G9 “kit”

    @visitor - I do not own a polisher currently. While my nature is to dive head first into getting what I need all at once, I also realize that once I get our vehicles to a certain point, it’s about maintaining that and I would rather not have a ton of stuff sitting around only getting used a...

    Help build a G9 “kit”

    I want to get a G9 (first buffer for me) and use it to touch up our 3 cars. Each car is different in its condition. 2008 Accord Coupe -metallic grey - son’s daily - some swirling but not horrible has some water staining and such. Rock chips are present but overall decent condition...

    Pre-soak for bug removal?

    This is what I did today and while it worked-ish, not quite as effective as I’d have hoped. Overall though the end result was fine, just looking for something to make it easier. I may mix up some soap and water in my sprayer and use that for next time and just let it sit while I set up shop...

    Pre-soak for bug removal?

    I’ve got a 2019 Sierra AT4 that I only drive once a week or so but with the way the front end is shaped and the amount of bugs we have here, I need to wash it but not really the entire truck. What’s a good pre-soak product that I can get to help loosen up bug guts before a quick hand wash of...

    Headlight polishing technique question

    I just did this to the boy’s headlights on his Honda. Since aftermarket units are available cheap, I went after it pretty aggressively. Started with 1200 grit wet/dry and worked up to 2500 with soapy water before wiping down and transitioning over to 3000-5000 “spongy” pad before using the...

    Grass clippings on truck

    I’m guilty of this but when I’m mowing the right away (I live in the country and mow it with my other 12 acres) but keep an eye on traffic and turn the deck off and rotate the mower away from cars. I never mow when cars are passing. That’s just wrong. I just have a few passes where it’s...

    The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    Pulled the truck out of its spot in the garage to clean the floors. Needs a good wiping down from getting dusty just sitting.

    Interior LSP

    So being a fan of Griot’s stuff I picked up some interior detailer at the local parts store (was handy and had to get fluids for the wife’s Acura anyway) however I was disappointed when I used it on her car. It seems to leave things clean but the final finish was not was I was going for. I...
