    Wolfgang Uber Coating

    My new daily driver arrived at the first of the New Year. The dealer did nothing more than check in the unit, no cleaning was ordered and followed. Upon receipt of the unit , we have had several cool fronts and lots and lots of rain. I took the time and use of the garage to prepare and...

    WeatherTech Cargo Liners

    A big part of car care is trying to avoid those long detailing sessions to repair something that harmed your finish -OR- your interior. I have found over the last several new car purchases (both sedans and suvs) that a WeatherTech is warranted and a best practice. We have one in the CTS...

    Engine Additives

    I love to walk the aisles around car care while shopping at the big department stores. I often notice the engine additives like Slick50, ZMax and Mystery Oil amongst others with their shiny boxes. I also notice in my car magazines Xado and others in the past claiming to reclaim lost horsepower...

    Scholl Concepts Shampol Car Shampoo

    I got a chance to try this wash this weekend and found it to be quite interesting. The label suggests its a polymer based wash and has a Lotus Drying Effect. (it should be noted I use a foam gun with all my soaps) Upon initial application to the car, I did not recognize any real heavy...

    Pinnacles Black Label / Synergy Paste

    Got a chance to clean up the daily driver this weekend and really wanted to use the new Pinnacle Black line including the Synergy Paste Wax after applying the coating the previous day. Application on the coating and wax are Pinnacle easy, and the results are equally stunning. Just kept it thin...

    Quick Review -- Scholl Concepts SW20 Speed Wax

    Scholl Concepts SW20 Speed Wax Cost: 17.99 for 500ml I love spray waxes and quick detailer + type products. I know Nick recently tested the carnauba based spray from Scholl, so I decided to try this version. As I spritz it on silver metallic paint I noticed a slightly pinkish color and...

    Power Washers -- How Do You Extend its Life

    I don't use a pressure cleaner (washer) for my cars but have gone thru two around the house over the past -5- years. That might seem like a long time but these are used 3-4 times annually around the house. What have you found to extend their lifetime and any maintenance items that one can use...

    Spruced Up Rental

    Took the Buick in for some warranty work and upgraded the tires to Motivo's from Nitto. The dealership wanted to give me something similar and so I was given a Baby Lacrosse (Verano). Car had 700 miles and nicely equipped, but very small. In the end it was no loaded Lacrosse. I decided to...

    Avengers

    Ok, did anyone see it yet ???? Thoughts ??? I like the new song from Soundgarden released for the premiere. I took the boys (5 and 7) out of school early to catch a matinee. While Shane is pure IronMan, I think that Hulk stole a scene or two with the kids. Anyone stay past the credits to...

    Stuart Florida Attractions / Restaraunts ...

    I have received more than several PM's and emails lately from visitors coming to Detailfest and looking for "other" items to do while in Stuart, Florida. To be honest I live more than 60 minutes South and don't know the area all that well. So hopefully everyone can post some favorites here for...

    Murphy's Law as it relates to Detailing

    Long story short, I bought myself a new daily driver with all the bells and whistles. The Aura, while holding up extremely well with Opti-coat, just wasn't what I personally wanted for the daily commute. The next owner will wonder why the surface is still so glossy and why all dirt just seems...

    Royal Purple Oil and Filter

    My wife found a discount coupon for Pepboys that offers 5 quarts of Royal Purple Oil and a Royal Purple Oil Filter for 35.00. I picked it up and saved 30.71 over the shelf pricing. Now I am wondering as a diehard Mobil 1 user, should I have any concerns using this product ?? I plan to use...

    Quick Rental Car Cleanup

    You gotta love the shape of a rental car, even when the rental agent "just" ran the car thru the carwash and is giving you the best one on the lot. Wife needed a car while her truck was in Cadillac for some maintenance. Of course, being Thanksgiving week the choice was limited to an Impala...
