    Hid Haze inside headlights?

    I noticed shortly after installing HID'S on my Ram that the inside of the lens started to haze. Fast forward two years and it's looking pretty bad. I keep the lens coated on the exterior with a coat of 845 and have never had any issues with hazing on the exterior. I even wet sanded and buffed...

    Purple Power etched glass and paint....

    So after 6 months, I contacted a previous customer of mine to see if he needed a fresh coat of wax. Turns out he does, but whats worse is he etched the entire windshield, hood, fenders, and headlights with Purple Power. Its Love Bug season down here, and his black Yukon is eating them up...

My guess it's the previous owner loved the drive thru car washes or used dirty towels to dry the car. He's a car guy, and likes to do his own car care and...

    HD Green Earth G-Foam Blaster for $5

    Yup, like the title states. You can get the foam cannon attachment for $5 on eBay! I'm sure it won't be as good as the $60-$100 MTM units, but it's a start. I would've been happy to pay $20 for it in store. But none of my nearest HD's stock'em. I'll post some pics and reviews once I get it...

    Is this right?

    Picked up some world famous Collinite 845 from a local boat supply store. But it's it the right color? How thick should it be? It's kinda watery, and they'd no foil seal insert the cap???? I'm afraid the store diluted it. Never used this stuff before....... Sent from my Galaxy Note II using...

    So today I detailed my mother in laws 09 Ford Fusion. Did a test spot, liked what I saw, and proceeded to finish the car. After a couple hours all I had left was the passenger side verticle panels. And for some reason there was more correction needed than the drivers and horizontal panels...
