First off, yes I searched for D107 threads, but they were all quite stale and I didn’t feel like resurrecting any of them to ask this. The label on D107 says it can be used in “air-powered interior cleaning tools,” which I assume to mean the Tornador and its various knock-offs. However, the...

Cleaning up a barn-find 2003 Honda Element DX for my buddy. So far I've restored a cloudy headlamp, fixed a couple of mechanical and electrical issues and mapped out my plan of attack for cleaning the interior and correcting the original paint. One thing in my way: the driver's side is...

I was really hoping for the weather to change before conducting a fair review of CarPro's latest miracle product, HydroFoam. I was sent a 500 ml bottle of CarPro's new HydroFoam for review, which took about a week to arrive to Way Upstate New York from Florida. Another few days passed before I...

I know not everyone is a fan of them, but I find they add a nice final touch to a detailed interior. My question is how can I achieve nice, crisp carpet "chevrons" with the tools I currently have at my disposal? I normally only do quick interiors as part of my exterior jobs, but it seems on the...

I know, I know, why is the sky blue? Brunettes, blondes, gingers? I was at the local big Merc dealership today, waiting for my neighbor to come back from a test drive -- he's the service department foreman there -- so I could ask him a question about my car. When he pulled up he caught me...

Part of successfully marketing yourself and opening the door to repeat business is setting yourself apart, going above and beyond... but at as little cost to your business as possible. I've read here that many of you do little extras to show your clients you take pride in what you do, and that...

After ruining a couple of purple ultra plush microfiber towels when levelling and buffing EXO, I decided there has to be a cheaper alternative. The flat-weave towel that comes in the EXOv2 kit seems to do a fine job levelling the product. Because I'm not actually "forcefully" removing product...

My neighbor is not a car geek, but he's an all-round handy guy who knows how to fix his own cars (and farm tractors -- his sideline is winter driveway snow clearing). I've only ever seen one new car in his family, a late-90s Pathfinder that they leased for three years. Otherwise, he's very fond...

(Or UPS Mail Innovations) Ordered a package of merino wool dryer balls with free shipping from an Amazon seller. Size? Maybe a one-quart Ziploc. Gross weight? Right around a pound (the flat rate weight; the package is probably really a half pound). The "travel history" from Allentown, PA, to...

I was a fairly active member, and voracious reader here for most of last year. I spent thousands at AG last year, and many more dollars at B&M stores and Amazon. Alas, life, ADD, and other pursuits get in the way. I think my last visit here was some time in January, around the time I started...

OK, I've been toying with the idea of doing a full correction on our two daily drivers and topping with a resin coating for quite some time. With all the glowing reviews of Opti-Coat recently, I've had it in my cart more than once but have failed to pull the trigger each time, deciding to wait...
