Should have probably done this long ago, so that I as an actual person, not a nick name that no one knows who I am get credit for the 1000 plus posts I've done over the years. Never really thought about it that is until this week when there was some confusion on who is who and are you that guy...

I was at SEMA a few weeks ago and while visiting the Mothers display I got the opportunity to use the new Wax Attack 2 polisher on a test panel with 3000 grit sanding scratches in it to replicate typical marring on a daily driver. Looking at the polisher and pads I really wasn’t expecting it to...

I received a surprise package from Jimmy D at Mothers a week or so ago containing Mothers newest product, Mothers California Gold Waterless Wash & Wax. I use waterless washes on almost every detail but rarely do I use them to wash a car. I normally use them for door and trunk jambs, bird bombs...

Does your car or the car you just scheduled to detail have the potential to make you sick? This is a question I imagine not many have you have ever thought of and to be honest in my 30 years of detailing I never did either. We put more thought into making paint shiny or getting that stain out of...

HD Orbital Pad Review About 4 months ago I got the opportunity to try out Lake Country’s new HD Orbital pads with a Rupes 21. What was very obvious right away was that the shape and size of the pad was similar to a Rupes pad the construction was nowhere close. These were not just copy cat pads...

On Sunday the Hot Rod, Mothers Power tour made an unscheduled stop by Rad Rides by Troy which is about 5 miles from my house to check on the Mothers 59 delivery wagon that they are rebuilding. So I took a drive over to meet Forrest and take a look at the 59 along with the other stuff sitting...

Introduction: I’ve been a long time user of Meguiars APC + but with it only being sold in 5 gallons containers now I went in search of a replacement APC. To find a replacement isn’t as easy as one would think. If I were to only be using it on the exterior of the vehicle a lot of the things I...

Like so many other detailers out there I’ve bought and tried a lot of trim products that make the claim of being a restorer only to find out the claims have almost always fallen short. I say almost always because recently I used Solution Finish Trim Restorer and was very impressed with the...

The owner of this 2004 Mustang contacted me wanting to know if I could freshen up the paint on it because he was going to be taking it to a car show In Charlotte North Carolina in two weeks. So we set a time for it to be dropped off that would give me a couple of days to complete the work. I...

For the past year or so I’ve been testing trim cleaner formulas for Mothers and was highly impressed with the very first version. I contacted Forrest and said this stuff is great; you really need to market it. So when the 2013 line came out and it wasn’t there I’m thinking what are they...

Last week I got a phone call from a friend asking me if I could get water spots off of a Jet Ski. The conversation went something like this. Me: On your red one? Him: No I bought a black one at the beginning of summer and it’s bad Me: black??? Him: Yeah it was a left over and I got a good deal...

This Touareg is a 59,000 mile car that was due for a interior detail a freshening up of the paint and some winter protection. Overall the car wasn’t in all that bad of shape considering it’s used to haul horse supplies and the family dog which is a good sized dog. It had your typical swirls...

About a month ago I won a Bottle of Car Pro Reflect and Iron X Lemon Scent and finally got a chance to try them out. I was very impressed with the Reflect and found it a joy to use. Am I going to feel the same about the new scented Iron X. Well we all know what Iron X smells like and we all...

About a month ago I won a Bottle of Car Pro Reflect and finally got a chance to try it out. Having used CarPro Fixer in the past and being very satisfied with it I had high expectations for Reflect and wasn’t disappointed. Using a Flex 3401 on speed 5 with a Megs Soft Buff pad I primed the...
