Is there an easier way? This is my white cp pad after soaking overnight in APC and leftover car soap also used some dishwashing liquid to rinse the pads out but when I dug into the pad foam with my thumbs with a kneading motion, I kept getting polish/compound coming out of them. I did this...

This 2006 velocity red Mazda Miata Limited belongs to a coworker of mine. Finally got around to coating his car for him. All pictures were taken with my crappy phone with bad lighting mostly in the garage (apologies in advance) Products used Optimum Power Clean (straight and 3:1) Mineral...

On two separate occasions recently, I've had a beer leak when stored on its side, once in my bar fridge, and once when I bought some just before a get together. This second time, the box wasn't on it's side for more than a couple hours. Both times, there was a big mess to clean up which...

Noticed that the edges of my clear film were standing out a bit much the other day when I was walking around the car. The hood bra looks ok but the edges on the film at the base of the flares in front of my rear wheels looked like there was some white film buildup there. I took my finger nail...

This 1969 Camaro was built by a father and son duo named Dan & RJ Gottlieb to be raced in open road type events in the Southern U.S. The Gottliebs have continued to develop Big Red over the years, to the point where it has become known as the world's fastest '69 Camaro. Truly the catalyst for...

I thought I read something about this on AG but can't find it now for the life of me. It had to do with slowing breaking in the brushes on your DA before you went at it on speed 6 from the get go. Kinda makes sense. You don't take your brand new car and then floor it when you get off the...

Here is the result of a rainy day project I've been wanting to try for a bit. Bought the extra big chopsticks at TNT Supermarket for $2 and the mf mop at a Chinese supermarket for $4. Haven't had a chance to use it yet and for all I know, it'll fall apart after the first use but I don't...

So my poliseal hybrid durability test is a bust. Went by my aunt's place to drop off some stuff and there was a mobile detail guy there working on my uncle's suv. He used some runny looking compound in a nondescript bottle but the thing did look much better I must admit. Had a couple beers...

this is going to sound weird to you southern guys but us northern folk have got to get creative sometimes, especially working on a black car. went to the coin op on Saturday and had just finished my rinseless in the garage. It wasn't super cold out (4C) and I wanted the light, so I left the...

just noticed AG added Blackfire samples wheeeeee!

So I borrowed my uncle’s car to haul some big stuff home from Costco this weekend. Thought I’d wash it for him before returning it. Then I thought I’d try some of my new poliseal hybrid on it. Items used GG6 Two 5.5 inch LC orange flat pads Mother’s showtime Griots clay Collinite 845...

so the threads about mold in optimum compounds got me looking at my stash. Everything was ok but I don't like the container my 32 oz of poliseal is in. Was able to pour most of it into a megs self cleaning bottle but there is a bit left (not enough to warrant it getting it's own meg's bottle)...

just take a drive down this street and you're done... White stuff at Cleveleys - YouTube apparently it's sea foam churned up by the high winds in England

I've seen a couple people that keep their wax in a mini fridge. I can't recall what the temp was set at but I was in the basement last night smelling some of my products and noticed that my max wax and natty blue have shrunk a bit from the cooler temps. I could basically flip the wax out if I...

thinking of calling in sick tomorrow. Just had me a monte #2 and a fifth of glenfiddich 18yr "and I'm feelin' gooood..."

Finally got to prep my car for winter yesterday. Also tried out some new stuff so this writeup will be a mini review of sorts for those products. This is the first time in weeks I have been able to spend any appreciable length of time on my car and I found myself making random observations that...

So the new VIP is up VIP Special - CarPro CQuartz 50 ml. Combo says 50ml is enough to do one average car. Sounds like a lot though compared to OC doesn't it? is it the same process to apply or does it need to go on a little thicker?

Last night I was thinking of all the ways I've been reading to prep paint for the new coatings so I decided to list them: IPA / MS / Prepsol CarPro Eraser Glass Cleaner OPC 20:1 then damp mf Griots Prewax/Paint Prep Hyper polish followed by damp MF Feel free to add to this list and debate...

So the choice was golf today or OC my buddies jeep. Guess the title kinda ruined the suspense if there ever was any asked him to take it to the touchless first cause he just got back from a 12 hour roadtrip yesterday. Still had to soak some bug remnants with OPC at full strength, then iron...

Actually not my idea but saw it on a Foodie show and thought I'd try it. Bacon, coffee, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, onions, garlic, and brown sugar... yes please I give you... Bacon Jam! gonna have some on a slice of baguette tomorrow for breakfast... can't wait!
