    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I walked a car show in amazement over how many people have zero clue about cleaning their wheels and tires. The sheet metal is washed, then they quit.

    what's your weather currently like?

    Here in MN it was a misery index over 100 yesterday with a storm hitting at 5 am this morning that was unlike any I've seen. The lighting and thunder was continuous for over a half hour. It was a strobe light experience with total sound.

    Harley hard leather covered saddlebags

    Doc Bailey's Leather Black. Wear some rubber gloves when you apply it. It's a leather dye. Worked like a charm on my leather bags.

    PPF on your headlights?

    The thought that hot headlights would melt the PPF and void the warranty. My wife and I are high maintenance. Traveling light is not achievable yet. I travel with a #11 Bankers Box with a Cbeast, Pixie and chemicals back and forth. She unloads the kitchen spices etc into 2 large boxes. We...

    PPF on your headlights?

    I have over 1,250,000 miles in a 30 career on the road. 900,000 of that on three minivans. It was still controversial in 2014 about PPF on C7 lights so I did not do it. They have rash but I keep'em polished. I was in Rapid City SD for a wedding, having dinner with two other couples. We...

    PPF on your headlights?

    2022 white Odyssey with 36K miles. 10K in the last two months! I picked up two visible cut/scrapes recently on the hood. Not happy but it would be worse without. I took a 1/2" long rock strike in the spring that required a "dent doctor" to push out. The uncut film looks undetectable to the...

    Headed to Mecum in a couple weeks - reccomendations needed to achieve best depth and gloss on black

    Not sure which which Mecum you are attending. From my experience as a spectator, the number one pet peeve I see is big dollar restorations covered with dust and an absent owner to look it over and answer questions. Sure the detail for hire guys might get around and push the dust around but...

    Nothing wrong with a PC. I decided I wanted to get things done faster. I was frustrated with pad stalling and went to a gear drive.

    I moved from a PC to the gear driven Flex 3401 a decade+ ago. Now the Harbor Freight gear drive Hercules seems to be a great step up.
