Haven't done a lot of recent detailing but there aren't many of these left running around so I thought I'd share. Abbreviated writeup, I don't know how some of you folks find the time. Since I retired from the swirling radar scopes at Club Fed I can't figure out how I found the time to ever go...

After spending a leisurely Bike Week in Daytona with 700,000 of my closest friends I figured on wandering around FL working on my sunburn. Some not-too-serious issues have arisen with aging parental units but they require a timely and decisive resolution. So I'm blasting northbound on the bike...

Everyone enjoys the stark contrast of before & afters and 50/50s. The worse it is when you start the better the results look. This is pretty lame for a Show & Shine as it's nothing but a simple wash. Not quite as simple as some of the southerners enjoy. I almost like it when my vehicles are...

UPS rolled up the other day with a tube of Opti Coat 2.0. I'd been in the garage cleaning the tar and crud from the underside of the fenderwells of my truck after being unable to avoid some highway construction. Mucho Tarminator and clay later they were once again spotless. Not bad for a 3 year...

I've been putzing around on my own vehicles as well as those of friends, family, coworkers and anyone else's vehicles that I could use as guinea pigs to improve my detailing abilities and refine processes and narrow down products.. As I'll be undergoing forced retirement at 56 from ATC in a few...

I recently received a PM with suggestions for cleaning wheels in response to a post I made. Huh? Oh! That post! Posted two years ago I was looking for suggestions on cleaning the inner barrels of the wheels on my 2004 GMC Sierra...

I've been beating my brains out trying to get Harley-Davidson Vivid Black to finish marr-free for a long time. It's the softest, most miserable clearcoat I've ever encountered. Researching problematic soft clears I ran into an article where someoneoranother had similar problems with an '07...

Posted here, there & everywhere.... What we have here are OEM coated, cast aluminum wheels from a 2004 GMC Sierra. They've seen 60k+ and 5 Ohio winters without ever getting a really thorough cleaning inside and out. The outer wheels are in pretty decent shape with just a few defects in...

Just tried this stuff, works as good as anything else I've tried for similar applications. Am I the only one that noticed this stuff smells and looks almost the same as Westley's Bleche White? Leaves the same blue stains on white, painted surfaces too :-[ TL

After claying I usually do an IPA wipedown to remove previous wax before polishing. How would one go about removing a sealant.... say, WG DGPS or Jetseal 109? TIA.... TL
