    Washing and Paint Correction on Truck/SUV roofs

    Just out of curiosity, how are you guys washing truck and SUV roofs? Do you get up on a step ladder or work platform and use a wash mitt and just keep moving the step ladder/work platform around the vehicle? Do you use a boar’s hair brush or mitt on a handle? I got a boar’s hair brush to do just...

    2021 Civic Hatchback - Spring Cleanup with Graphene Sealant

    So after ignoring my poor Civic for several weeks, I used the beautiful weather today to do a spring wash and get the paint decontaminated, cleaned, and sealed. I didn’t feel that any sort of correction was warranted, so I used an AIO by hand to clean and polish the paint and prep it for a...

    Not all that glitters is gold - Honda Ridgeline

    Sometimes it’s silver! This is my stepdad’s 2017 Honda Ridgeline RTL in Lunar Silver. Just over 30k on the odometer. This is not his daily driver, but it does get used for hauling mulch or as a work truck when he does handyman jobs on the side. It has been taken care of by me since it was new...

    Meguiar’s M27 is very runny

    Hey all. I was looking at some of my products today and noticed that my 16 oz. bottle of Meguiar’s M27 Pro Hybrid Ceramic Sealant is very runny. It was about the consistency of yogurt. Now it is the consistency of coffee creamer, and no amount of shaking will thicken it back up. Is it still...

    Hi-Yo Silver! 2017 Honda Ridgeline

    This is my stepdad’s 2017 Honda Ridgeline. Just wanted to get it cleaned and protected, as it hasn’t been washed in several months. Only has about 19k on the odometer. It was polished and detailed late last year, so no polishing was warranted, and the CarPro DLux I had put on the exterior...

    Any members near Mobile, Alabama?

    So recently decided to pack it all up and move from Knoxville down to Alabama. My folks had already moved down here and I just decided to make a fresh start and follow them down here. Of course I would decide to make my move at the same time the country is shutting down, so finding a job may...

    Product review: Gtechniq EXO v2

    I actually won this product from Autopia back in August. My apologies for being so late on this review. The recipient for this product was a 2006 F-150 that belongs to my mom's fiancé. I completed a detail on this truck last month but kept forgetting to put up my pictures. :dunno: Process for...

    Overspray on black plastic

    I have a coworker who just got a 2014 Honda CR-V. He has some sort of overspray (looks like paint) all over the front end, including the front bumper, which is mostly black textured plastic. I'm quite certain I can remove it, but what do I need to use on the black plastic? I looked at the clay...

    So excited! I'm getting my first new car! Going to trade in the Taurus on a 2014 Honda Civic LX sedan in Modern Steel (a dark gray color). I got a good deal on it through the Honda employee discount program. I had them order it from the factory so that I would not get one that had gone through...

    Building a new garage!

    So a couple of months ago I moved with my dad to a different house (parents are separated, and I am not financially secure, blah blah blah). Anyway, the house we moved to was built in 1967, and only has a single car attached garage. So, my dad decided he wanted to build a garage. It will be 24'...

    Dodo Juice Iron Gloss Paint sealant beading

    Forgot to do a sheeting portion for this, but thought you might like to see a beading video of Dodo Juice Iron Gloss Paint sealant. I couldn't find any other videos of DJIG sealant in action, so these may be the only ones out there. Not sure. Shampoo used was Blackfire Wet Diamond shampoo. Not...

    CieraSL forum name change

    It was CieraSL. Now it is Taurus731. The Taurus part is because my car is a Taurus (duh), and the 731 is my birthday (7/31 or July 31). Had CieraSL for almost 4 years, so I'm gonna miss it. But, with the new ride, it's time for a change. :props:
