    Your forum nickname? What does it mean?

    My dog's name was Rocky. He is no longer with us. The 'nickname' Rocky was not available so I just stuck a couple of e's between the 'k' and the 'y.'

    Felt wheel wells

    I have these annoying liners on my Lincoln. When a pressure washer is not available, what I have found works best is to clean them when they are dry. I use a rag (either damp or dry) and just rub them. Nearly all of the debris just rubs off. This is a tight area which makes using a brush...

    Best Garage Heater for MA weather

    This is what I use. This little propane heater puts out some serious heat when both elements are lit: http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Heater-MH18B-Portable-Propane/dp/B0002WRHE8 In 25 degree weather, I can have my two-car garage comfortable in less than a half hour. You can use one or two of the...

    Looking for a new DA: Should I go GG, Rupes?

    I've been using the HF DA for the past few years. It was my only DA and has never failed me. It's versatile, powerful, and inexpensive. I just purchased the Griots G15 recently and am glad that I did. I would not say that it does a better job correcting paint than the HF DA but it is sooo much...

    Gift Certificates, Really?

    I just got a G15 a couple of weeks ago and have used it on two vehicles. Very nice machine. So much smoother than the DA I've been using. I put one of the older style 7 inch thick Meguiars maroon cutting buffing pads on it just to see how it handled a lot of pad. It had no problem at all...

    Newb to DA!

    Although I recently purchased the Griots Boss G15 (which is a very nice tool), there is nothing wrong with the DA you purchased. I've been using my HF DA for three years now and it is still trucking along just fine. Near as I can tell, there are quite a few people who frequent this forum that...

    Dodge RAM Thunder Road-- Correction + Gloss Coat- B's Wax, Baltimore MD

    I'd imagine you needed more than a step-stool to finish the roof on that beast !! Just curious, how did go about detailing the exhaust stacks coming up out of the front of the bed ? They look large enough and accessible enough to use a polisher on. By the way, looks excellent !!

    More AG sales, uh-boy

    Just curious....who is TRC? These new supply outlets seem to keep popping up and perhaps I've missed one. It's not ringing a bell.

    Anyone Receive Their Black Friday Stock?

    I'm jealous seeing that some of you are getting your orders or know when they will be arriving. I am one of the unfortunate ones who found out after the fact that I placed an order on an item that is back ordered. So bummed :(

    Making the first big purchase

    Be warned. If you're like many of us, once you start buying you won't be able to stop :D I started out with an inexpensive DA and a few pads along with some OTC products. Fast forward a couple of years and now I have my original DA, a Makita rotary, a soon-to-arrive Griots G15, stacks of...

    Gift Certificates, Really?

    Done. Thanks for twisting my arm, Nick !!

    Gift Certificates, Really?

    Can these gift certificates be redeemed in conjunction with other discounts? In other words, can you purchase the gift certificate and then redeem it along with the 15% discount being offered? I don't see any restrictions or exclusions attached to the gift certificate?

    Alright alright alright need some paint correction help

    I have a 2014 Lincoln MKZ and have actually used Adapt on it....although not with a microfiber. The Adapt worked well and I did not find the black paint unusually hard or soft. In fact, it responded well to the Adapt. I also polished with M205 not that long ago using an orange LC thin pad and...

    What would you do?

    It's a shame more people don't understand how/why that approach would work in their favor in the long run. Unfortunately, many folks who sell for a living are under immense pressure to produce and will sometimes compromise their own morals and integrity to meet performance goals and avoid...

    What would you do?

    Just a suggestion..... You may want to consider having a polite, tactful conversation with the dealership you made the deposit with and let them know that some of what is taking place will be reflected in the survey you complete once the car is delivered. I wouldn't come right out and say that...

    PDR kits

    I have some experience with glue. It has worked for me but only about 25% of the time. It really depends on what you are attempting to pull. I have had success with simple door dings but anything with a crease in it requires patience and a bit more skill. I was pulling a few hail dents from the...

    Need Advice.

    If all he wanted was a "wash, clay, wax, full interior with either leather protection or carpets shampooed," what prompted you to begin correcting the paint with polish? I suppose it may have been because you take pride in what you do and you wanted to return a quality product...which would...

    Man talk about under charging

    Yep...probably something along these lines. Could be a young person 16-19 years old. Goes to Walmart and buys the least expensive soap and wax. Uses some of mom's old bath towels and other rags. Borrows dad's rarely used Harbor Freight portable steamer and shop vac. Fours hours worth of work...
