    Optimum PolySeal quick thoughts

    I cavalierly bumped the edge of the wheel well trim with a white pad and poli-seal. It discolored it slightly either from the abrasion or the product. I am able to make it look good again but it seems like it tries to return to the "I got crap in my plastic" look if I clean it with APC. I...

    Requesting some cheaper Microfiber for jambs and wheels

    I picked up a bundle of generics from HD for wheels and exhaust pipes and they were cheap, for sure. Like under 50 cents each cheap. But ... they just don't seem like something I'd want to use on door jambs and my interior I guess.

    Optimum PolySeal quick thoughts

    Is that a blue LC CCS pad? I would have thought white might get you a little more bite without sacrificing finish quality. Also, contrary to what some people post on various forums, poli-seal sucks on plastic trim.

    Washing your car in your driveway a new crime!

    You don't trust the politicians. I don't trust the common man/business. I think I'll let this thread continue without further input.

    Washing your car in your driveway a new crime!

    No disrespect intended here, but before we stand up to the clowns and do anything, we need to educate ourselves about what the reality of the situation is. See my post about the specifics of the law Mike posted about. It does nobody any good to march on Washington with misinformation and...

    Washing your car in your driveway a new crime!

    The North County Times may not even exist anymore. Mike, how old is that article? I did two minutes of research on this subject specific to San Diego and want to put the alarmist fears to rest. San Diego does not restrict ALL car washing in your driveway. The following page summarizes the...

    Wheelin the paint on a Proweler...

    HERE is what I picture when someone says they were Wheelin': And I've only ever see it add dirt and damage to paint. :)

    Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. NOT!

    I was goofing around last night before bed and thought I'd see if I had the ingredients to make my own cheap as dirt deicer. While sort of a joke, I believe you could probably fine tune a mixture of simple household (my household) products to achieve the results of the 1Z product. Here's...

    Requesting some cheaper Microfiber for jambs and wheels

    Revised question: If AG carried something of good quality for a competetive price, would you still go elsewhere?

    Requesting some cheaper Microfiber for jambs and wheels

    I'm a hobbyist and don't go through MF towels as fast as some of the guys who do this for a living so I tend to not have a big stack of demoted towels readily available for grunt work. I think it would be awesome if Autogeek were to evaluate what's available and bring us some good quality cheap...

    Need help determining possible barter

    As an audio guy, I'd pass on someone elses random (even "big name") subwoofer boxes. Speakers can be like quoting that detail job without seeing it. You don't know how they've been abused over their life. Besides that, I've never been a fan of Sony speakers.

    Sneaking in forum time...lol

    Funny. My wife is also a political junkie (and why I moved to DC in the first place--I'm a Northern California transplant). But we share political views. I guess that's why she lets me hang out on the forums?

    Sneaking in forum time...lol

    Vegas, I can totally understand a restricted forum life. I frequent a few forums and seem to spend way too much time on them. I think it stems from a guilty pleasure of learning everything so I can do it all. But even if I couldn't, there's always "personal time" and a smartphone! Matt

    MINI Countryman and Collinite 476 by Machine

    Thanks. I forgot to add that I didn't do windows, trim, or wheels. I had done all of those last weekend along with the opti-seal and optimum car wax layers. Seems to have held up pretty well sitting outside for a week. Yesterday afternoon I added the G1. I've read a few places that people...

    How do I remove CarPro PERL from interior glass?

    No update yet. I will try to get some hand-applied CeriGlass going this afternoon to see if it cuts through the coating.
