Hey guys, Been a while since I have been on here. Been busy with life, work, etc. Really havent been spending a lot of time detailing (until last night). I just bought a new Acura TL in Crystal Black Pearl. I polished the DISO out of the front end last night. Will do the rest in the near...

Just bought a new HE washing machine. As the title says, can it be used in an HE compliant only washer?

This is another one of my passions. Today it is 16 Boston Butts (Pork Shouder). 130 pounds precook. Will cook about 12-14 hours. Here is my rig. Hand cut and welded by a local guy. Lives about 1/4 mile from me. 6' x 4' cooking surface. Big enough to fit a decent hog on. I will be doing a hog...

My brother in law was getting ready to trade this in on his wife's new Explorer. I have a daughter that will be getting her license in November. I would have preferred a Front wheel drive car, but, I knew the history of this car and it was a good one. No mechanical problems. Washed and waxed...

I am waiting to buy a 2003 Mustang from my bro-in-law. He is getting a new Explorer built. Apparently it is built and awaiting shipment. As soon as it gets here, the Mustang is mine. As soon as the Mustang is mine, it will get detailed. It was already my first DA MF test vehicle. About a month...

The Megs DA MF 3in cutting discs? I tried the 5in and love them. Now I want the 3in and see the cutting discs are backordered.

I see AG offers a Makita 9227C, while Amazon offers 9227 CX3 and 9227CY. Are there any differences in the machines? It looks like the C and CX3 include the bag and pads, but, I see no difference between these 2. The CY looks like it includes a sanding disc, but, no wool pads or bag...

I was going to wait until the roads cleared a little more. Then I saw Darkhorse's thread about waking his. After seeing how sweet his Mustang looked, I was getting the itch. Then Mother Nature threw a 60+ degree day with sunshine at me and it was all over. Cover came off, engine fired up, a few...

Am fairly new to polishing experience-wise. Have actually been using a PC with Griots pads and polishes for about 7 ot 8 years. I wanted to go with something a little more aggressive, so I started researching this site and decided to buy 6.5 CCS pads by LC and Pinnacle XMT polishes 1-4. I...
