I know many of us heat our garages in the winter to work on our rides, but does anyone also cool it? It was 87 today and humid and the garage felt like an oven. My wife and i were out there together and I brought up the crazy idea of installing a couple of large ceiling fans to get air moving...

So after inspecting my new ride after her second wash, I noticed some light swirls in a small area near the trunk, and some light marks on the trunk lid itself. It took a Brinkman to find them and I'm not sure if they were there on arrival or if it was something I did. I've been pretty careful...

It may be how I'm phrasing the search function, but I haven't been able to find a discussion on the different blowers from Metro Vac (not vacums, but the stand alone blowers). I'm looking for guidance or experience from those who have used one of the four, specifically the performance...

Well my new car came in a few weeks early and thanks to all of the wonderful advice on the forums (and plenty of videos by Mike), I decided to tackle the new car prep on my own. When I ordered the car back in February, I made the dealer promise me not to wash it. When he e-mailed me my monthly...

Now that my new car is born and on a boat over here, I was wondering what I should use for a new car prep. The dealer has been instructed not to touch it on arrival. I showed him the kind of job his crew does washing cars by pointing out how swirled a display car was. Here is what I was...

Well I finally had time (and weather) to use some of my recent purchase from AG. For reference, I'm working on a 09 Mits Eclipse Spyder. Rave Red Pearl paint. Before I started the process, I had been testing different products on part of my trunk. The best solution for my swirls seemed to be...

The lease on my Cadillac CTS is coming to an end in May. I'm shopping for its replacement and thought I would come to all of you for an opinion. Here are my requirements (set partially by my wife who occasionally drives the car when I've had one to many single malts): -automatic (I know) -all...

OK, here's my bad day story. My wife got me a pad washer from AG for our anniversary tomorrow. Thought I would give it a whirl. I followed the instructions. When drying the pad I lifted the pressure. I must have gone to high or something. It got caught and ripped the back plate and holder...

I have some light swirling on my 09 eclipse spyder (rave red pearl). The WG twins were recommended to me, but I have the Pinnacle twins and decided to give them a try on my trunk. I've watched my technique, worked a small area, and did everything that's been recommended so far. Orange pad for...

Being new to detailing, I'm trying to learn how to keep my car perfect one area at a time. Looking over her, I was curious what I should do for her pipes. They aren't in awful shape, and I've read a couple of routines out there under show n' shine, but curious for more input. What is your...

Here are some pics from our two month project of a garage makeover. I don't have any before pics, but it was drywalled and that's about it. What we did: -walls plastered and painted -single bulb fixtures replaced with flourecent fixtures -floors epoxyed -cabinets installed (custom made) -sink...

Hello all from the frozen tundra, I'm semi new to detailing (I'm a hobbiest), and the forum has been very helpful to me this past year. Glad I've finally joined it officially. Here's a pic of my summer ride stored in the garage for now. Get to play with new waxes this winter as I stare at it...
