Mike: I've of coursed watched your Show Car Garage wash video that you washed the Mini Cooper in as well as read on the forums some of your washing tips. However, in that video, the Cooper was already pretty clean. This has been the case with my Civic for over 2 years. However, lately, there's...

Mike, do you have any tips on applying Meguiar's #16 Paste Wax via DA? I plan on using a plastic knife to put a very thin layer on the pad. I've never used the DA to apply a paste wax before. I have been warned to use an EXTREMELY THIN LAYER of M16 though due to it being hard to get off if I...

Mike, I have a question for you. How on earth do you not get carpal tunnel syndrome!?!?!? Feed back please

To all wondering about how to maintain a nice and swirl-free finish and then some, I am going to tell you almost all of what you need to know to meet your detailing goals. This is something that I call the protection state of mind: First of all, if your subject car is a daily driver, your...

I was reading about doctorates in the U.S. today on Wikipedia and saw this list of all of the doctorates: First of all, I think it's interesting that there are this many. All we ever hear of is Ph.D but you could be a Doctor of Church Music or Physical Education even... Since Wikipedia can be...

Mike, The other day I pulled out my G110 and put on a used (but clean) yellow polishing SoftBuff 2.0 pad. I shook up the product and put it on the pad in a "cross" formation. As soon as I put the pad on the paint and fired up the DA, tiny yellow pad particles shot all over the front of my...

Here's the deal: A (relatively unintelligent) co-worker/friend of mine decided to play a joke on his friend by writing something in his friend's car's dirt on the hood. Unfortunately, the car was filthy; so filthy that my co-worker actually grabbed a receipt to put between his finger and the car...

I signed up because Mike Phillips moved here. I've been a member at Meguiar's Online since I bought my first new car (2008 Honda Civic EX) last September. I've attended all of the Meguiar's clinics and although I don't make a ton of posts over there, I've learned SO MUCH from the forums and from...
