Eagle Edgeless are good. The Rag Company's stuff is pretty good in general. They gave me one sample microfiber of their "split purple-nality" on my last order, and I thought it was awesome for a conventional cloth with a sewn on border. I'll be ordering more stuff from them in the future.

Stupid question (or stupid person asking), but being that sometimes standing on a platform is awkward and tiresome for long periods, is it unprofessional or unwise to physically stand in the bed to wash or polish the top of the cab?

You don't want to do it right after it's hot for obvious reasons, mainly that cool water on hot exhaust manifolds can cause them to crack, same goes for hot aluminum components such as the cylinder head and or engine block if it's late model. Best to wait until it's sat for at least and hour or...

Most oil leaks are usually from valve cover gaskets (top end) front seals, rear seals and oil pan gaskets (bottom end), and the rest is usually built up grease, dust and grime. Oven cleaner is a little overkill where plastic would be, which is usually on the top side where your air box/mass air...

I'm a mechanic by profession and clean up a lot of engine bays, so I suppose I'll offer my two cents... For gnarly leaks, especially on the underside of the engine where you don't have to worry about damaging paint as much, I find what saves a lot of time, gets everything perfectly clean and...

I had looked for one similar to the one at the top of the list in the link at Lowes and Home Depot, and couldn't find anything except bulky step ladders. I ended up getting the Werner one through Amazon. It was a little over $100 I believe. It's light for sure, and convenient. But is it me or is...

So I recently had my van wrapped. It came out awesome, and features a matte black finish with glossy reflective green text overlays throughout. As cool as it looks it was pricey, and I want to protect it the best I can, especially being out here in Arizona. I've read up about matte vinyl care...

Why do Aussies and Kiwis always get the good stuff and we get the second hand junk? I mean hell, it's a GM (American) brand, but they always get the sweet models years and years before us, and when they do come here, they are uglier or lost some of their best qualities (See Holden Monaro/Pontiac...

I have a Mytee HP60 and a small steamer. I find myself on most cars using my hands/brushes/folex to do spots, and the steamer to clean out consoles/cupholders, etc. The HP60 is just so heavy and bulky, I often don't use the extractor unless the carpet and mats are particularly filthy. I'm...

I laughed out loud honestly to this one, haha.

No need to thank me, I actually thought it was unusual that someone like you has such a presence in a place like this, giving lots of free advice to novices and experts alike, and that made an impression on me. I appreciate any insight, it goes without saying that I'm sure everyone here does...

Double check your Amazon seller. I bought mine on Amazon, and it actually was through autogeek (palm beach motoring). My bottle of 205 has the same problem, it's like milk.

Wow, that Z looks like a mirror, man. Nice work!

Hmm, I'll keep that in mind for my next one. I found what seems to be working for me right now: On panels that don't have heavy orange peel, I'm using Meg's microfiber cutting pads and D301. Afterwards I go over it with Meg's microfiber polishing pads and D302. All of the swirling is gone, and...

Well, I don't think I clearly articulated my idea, so let me try to be more precise: Due to the circumstances of this particular S2000 having a terrible respray from poor prep work (there are adhesion problems/chipping, overspray, inconsistency in application with heavy clear in some areas and...

That sucks, I might just keep my compounds in the house then. Thing is, none of this stuff has been around for more than a week, and it's actually spent most of it's time here left in the boxes in the house until I pulled it all out a few days ago.

On foam pads I'll do a few spritz of pad conditioner, and three dime size blobs (the 205 I can't measure because it just pours like water). I'll use two dime size blobs for working product on each pass following, ditto for the carpro pads minus the pad conditioner step on first pass. I am...

I have the aqua green in the smaller pad. I have white ones, but they are much thicker and in 6.5" size, and I was going to try to use them with a Rupes 21. Should I try a different material with that pad on the Rupes?

Take a guess? Lol. But in fairness, everything else I've gotten from Palm Beach Motoring (aka autogeek) has been great, aside from UPS and Fedex damaging and losing some stuff on the way. I haven't contacted them about this yet.
