    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Today was the first outdoor detailing of the season. It was 36 F this morning but by 9:00 AM it was 42 F. I had gotten most of my gear lined out on Friday but the rain set in Saturday evening and yesterday. I saw a small window this morning and pulled the little blue car out for a good look and...

    Rinseless Washes - 2022

    We are from the same era and have the same memories, a Sears card was the first credit anything I ever had and the only one until I was in my mid 20s Dad issued us a Chevron card when we started driving There are a couple of Shell and Chevron stations in Anchorage that are generally 35 to 55...

    "Service Stations" are all but nonexistent here Oregon used to be no self service but I think they finally got away from that a few years ago I guess for a person who stays close to home, doesn't fly or rent cars or reserve hotels, a cash life could have advantages We used to bank exclusively...

    Favorite rinseless towel?

    I guess I haven’t worried about how much time difference a sponge vs multiple media makes but I have noticed that I have much more liquid on the garage floor when using the sponge, and depending on the weather in winter that can be an issue I have gotten sloppy and frozen the garage door shut a...

    That still is here at Shell and Chevron, 5 cents off for cash The one self serve Shell station at the local market doesn't have a kiosk so it is all credit card but they go with the lower price, partly because they only offer regular and diesel

    Yeah, I get what it is for and many of them even put up a little sign explaining that they make no profit off of it. The cost had to always be there, perhaps at a smaller percentage, so it is a cost of doing business. I guess it just rubs me the wrong way that we have done everything possible to...

    Are you guys seeing more and more businesses that are charging an extra 2.5% to 3.5% if you use a credit card? It is becoming a pretty big deal here in many independently owned businesses Some are even enforcing the price hike for debit cards Are we headed back to a cash society?

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    We got crap from a lot of people after buying our first Hybrid in 2020 and the second in 2024 "How can you gamble on unproven technology" they would say I got tired of explaining anything to the great unwashed and finally came up with a one word answer... PRIUS There was a Toyota flow chart...

    Favorite rinseless towel?

    I have been on a sponge kick for the last few months, although I was one of those "I would never do that" guys for the better part of 2 decades I always used the Gary Dean method with a dozen or so super plush 500 weight towels I bought 2 packs of the Autofiber Double Flip last year and didn't...
