Ok guys and gals, Another off topic question: My 2008 Craftsman 17.5hp riding mower is noticeably louder (to me) than when new. I understand that the blades make a good bit of the noise, but with them off the mower just seems a lot louder than it used to be. I wear ear muffs, but just...

Not sure if anyone here is in the landscaping/mowing business or stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night and can inform me a little. We built a house recently and the centipede sod was laid down in December, so naturally it has been dormant for the most part after being laid down and is...

I haven't used my little cheapo pressure washer since I have moved into our new house. I think somewhere in the move, the GFCI plug got thrown around a little bit, as the unit won't turn on. Is there any harm in replacing the GFCI plug with a standard 3-prong as long as the house outlet is...

Ok, Going to ask an opinionated question, but what microfiber towels are you guys using for rinseless washes? I have used the two bucket method in the past with ONR and a microfiber mitt, but am about to try out the DP Rinseless Wash and Gloss and would like to give the "Gary Dean" method a...

My wife has a black “new to her” 2007 Yukon. The vehicle was maintained by an older couple that kept it in good shape, and actually chose a decent detailer to clean the truck up before selling it looks like. They look to have done an AIO to get the paint cleaned up, and there are no buffer...

Ok guys and gals, Took a break from really any detailing and doing it for a little side play money. Looking to get back into it on the side to have a little mad money again. I would like to get a decent sized vinyl decal to match my logo in all white (no color needed) with my phone number...

Ok guys and gals, Been a while since I have been on here. Family changes, new baby, etc. Anyways onto my question: My wife has a new Sonata that I try to detail every now and then as I have time, but my new to me ride is a 2002 white Silverado. It had the typical peeling clear on the...

Well, looks like I had this all written up with pictures attached and only viewed it in Preview and didn’t follow through. Ooops, let’s try this again. Ok guys and gals, I washed the ol girl (2005 Nissan Xterra Black) a few weekends ago after riding some dirt roads and being filthy. The...

Ok, guys and gals. I did my first (for money) headlight restorations this weekend. Everything worked out great, but I am thinking machine sanding could really speed up the process. What is everyones preference? 3" sanding discs aren't that expensive, but what about the backing plate? I...

Ok everyone, take it easy on me. Tell me what you think: Shiver's Optimum Shine I am trying to keep it as true HTML as possible so that it is fast loading and pulls up on any device/machine. The only thing I don't like is the "fading" of the background of the logo, but that is being...

Hey guys and gals. Is anyone here good at logo designs? I had a design mocked up when I was looking into starting a part time washing business, but due to family and health issues at the time I had to pass on that at the moment. Now I would like to start out slow and start with headlight...

I am not sure if this has already been done, but on most of my other forums, there is always a dog thread. So show us your pups. Most of the good pictures are on my wife's laptop, but here we go: These are of my baby, 2 Year old Golden named Kota (My wife got her for me on xmas 2 years ago)...

I am cluless on what to get my father this year for Chritsmas. I am getting my Father-in-law the Griots Starter Kit, but my dad will wash his truck maybe 3 times a year, so no need in wasting the money on detailing supplies. Any ideas? He does carry the dog around in the back, so I may get...

Ok guys and gals. I applied some Ultimate Black to my wife's bumpers almost 2 weeks ago. The front now looks like this: I cleaned the bumpers with APC+ first. Is this common for this product? Did I skip a step maybe? Or is it just wearing off and needs more applied? I can post this...

Ok, You guys are going to get tired of my soft black paint posts, but per a couple of posts months back, I was buying grout sponges to wash the truck. I washed the truck yesterday, and I just feel like they are too harsh and are causing marring. After I polish the truck once my AG order comes...

Hey Guys and Gals, I am getting ready to put in an order with AG for some more pads. I have plenty of White and Orange LC Flat Pads, but the White just simply doesn't finish down on my wife's vehicle that has soft black paint, but they work fine for my truck. My original plan was to get...

Hey guys and gals, My wife's Black Xterra looks good when it is clean, but there is something (besides the faded bumpers) that take away from the looks, and that is the faded trim. It is on all of the windows in both sides. Any ideas would be very appreciated:

Hey Guys and Gals, I got a Griots 6" and LC pads for Xmas. Well today I had a chance to try it out, so I headed out to get some Megs Ultimate Compund and SwirlX for now. I have and used the following: (After an ONR wash and Megs Clay/ONR Lube) - 3 5.5" Flat Orange LC Pads - 3 5.5" Flat White...

Ok guys and gals, While cleaning the interior of my wife's new to her 2005 Nissan Xterra, I ran into a problem. I use APC+ 10:1 to clean panels and then use ICE Total Interior Spray. I know, Turtle Wax, but it is what I have for now. Well, I have never really deep cleaned the inside of my...
