Hello everyone. I am curious, are there any amateur radio operators on the forum? I have my General class license and am thinking about going for my Extra Class license. I have an old and simple station, nothing expensive or fancy. Any HAMs on the forum?

Can the car still be washed to keep it clean while the paint is curing? I looked up "outgassing" and saw pictures of politicians. LOL

Hello everyone. Our car was recently resprayed under a warranty. Well the roof and hood were anyway. We were told to not wax the car for 30 days. This makes me curious. Why do you not wax a fresh paint job for a month? I know fresh paint takes time to cure but why 30 days? What would happen if...

No, it has not been over 30 days yet. I would like to learn more about options to protect the clearcoat so maybe this will not happen again. My solution was not good enough or the clear would not have fail. Unless, it was not my car care technique but rather a failing paint job that I could...

Hello everyone. Our Nissan hatchback has been repainted. The car was damaged 6 years a go. The hood and roof were repainted. The clearcoat was failing from the repair. Well, they have repaired the repair. The hood and roof have been resprayed with the PPG Deltron system and it was sprayed for...

The car was hit by a flying tractor trailer tire when the car was two months old. It took out the hood, windshield, and dented the roof. A new OEM hood was used.

Hello everyone. From this coming Monday up until Friday our car will be back at the body shop that did the repair work on it in 2012. The respray they did in 2012 is failing. The clearcoat is failing on the hood and roof. They used the PPG Deltron paint system. The work is being done under the...

Here is that Subaru scratch. I think it will need a body shop.

Hello everyone. I have not been on in a couple of weeks. As some of you know, I am legally blind. I have been experiencing some bad headaches that will not go away. I am feeling better now. I have a VP Shunt which drains excess fluid from the brain. It is called hydrpcephilus. Anywho, we are...

AUTOGEEK FOAM GUN REVIEW Hello everyone. I thought I would type about my first ever use of any type of foam gun or foam cannon. I realize that the foam gun is all over FaceTube, YouBook, and YouTwitFace so it seems to be popular right now. I did a lot of looking around and noticed that you can...

Hello everyone. I have used retail level clay bar kits before and they work well. However, I have a Nanoskin fine clay mitt coming. I have never used one before. My guess is that you wash and dry the car like normal. Now, do you simply treat it as a clay bar by using an instant detailer as a...

When it comes to a cleaner wax type products verses and all in one, they are similar or the same type of thing, correct? Would an over the counter Meguiars cleaner wax or Mothers California Gold cleaner wax still be able to be used like an all in one on a DA polisher?

I have spoken to the body shop that did the work on the car back in 2012. The work has a limited lifetime warranty on it. I was told that they use the best quality items and paints that PPG makes and therefor that is why there is a warranty on it. I am waiting a call back on how the owner wants...

I went out and rubbed on the car a bit. I did not have a polish that was white or clear in color so I used what I had. Also, there is more to this story. Back in July 2012 when the car was two months old, it was hit by a flying tractor trailer tire. It did $5k in damage. I am wondering if the...

Bump? Any takers on this one? LOL

Hello everyone. My wife and I have a 2012 Nissan Versa S hatchback in black. I washed it and dried it today to get mug off of it. It is way too hot to start detailing it with clay bar and swirl removal with a DA polisher. That having been typed, I do plan to start cleaning the car well once it...

The Big Brown Truck Has Arrived Apparently, someone out there did not like the idea of me using a Harbor Freight DA Polisher. LOL OK I am being goofy and having fun. But, you say….get to the freakin’ point….so I shall. Someone, whom has asked to remain nameless and genderless has sent me two...

I have only used over the counter wash soaps. I keep hearing that the Meguiars Hyperwash is some really good stuff. It would seem then for my use that getting a bucket locally is much cheaper. Get a grit guard and keep using the wash soaps that I have and then maybe look into Hyperwash when I...

Well if there is nothing extremely special about the quality of the buckets or the wash mitts....then it is back to Wally's World. Last I looked the blue Walmart branded bucket was under $3 each. So, there is no major difference in the various wash mitts, just personal preference?
