    Me & the WG twins had to go a little bit medieval on my son's new to him '10 328i

    My son knew what he wanted in shopping for his car, but it turns out he got some extra options with his purchase - incl DISO, with side helpings of swirls and scratches. I went with him to the buy; someone had to drive him, and hey, ya never know, maybe they'd be looking for some extra help...

    I think my GG6 is going TU - please look at pics and give me thoughts here

    See below pics. Just noticed today it seems to me that the shaft has excessive play - not on the plane of rotation, but the shaft "rocks" The pictures show what I mean. I put the backing plate on snug, and tried to show by the way the pad rocks re: look at the gap change between the pad and...

    Quick Product Review – Covercraft “Noah” after 2 years

    Quick Product Review – Covercraft “Noah” after 2 years After reading and replying to RedXray’s thread in “Off-Topic” on his looking for suggestions on a car cover, I realized that I went through some of the same decision processes when deciding on a cover a couple of years ago. And since I...

    Easy after dinner detail of late model AWD

    The vehicle was in good shape, and was evidently kept in a garage (or shed). Inspection after washing revealed no swirls or even RIDS, although it was clear that I, er, I mean "the owner" didn't have any kind of protection on the paint. No beading at all! Products used: Water M205 BFWD Megs...

    Easy question - re after WG twins, but before sealant

    Used the WG twins on wife's car. No rush, took about a week. Now am looking to take care of the final pieces and use BFWD. Since this was a drawn out process in the garage, my plan is to pull it out and just do a regular wash of the car to take care of all the dust and stuff that exists in...

    Cleaning the clear plastic over instruments and audio

    I haven't seen a lot of discussion on this, but I think most would agree that the clear plastic used on dashboards, usually gauge faces, audio and nav screens, etc., is easily hazed by over-enthusiastic cleaning. I have been using the Invisible Glass lens wipes (pic attached). I don't have...

    Tried something new today........

    Maybe this is old news to some, but I decided to use my GG6 with an orange pad to clean the leather seats in my 12 year old car. Lexol bottle says agitate and work up a foam using a damp sponge, so that's what this process did. Speed was generally 3 to 4 depending on the surface. My goal was...

    And here I thought my car was clean........Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion

    Working in shade so these pics from my tablet are not real bright. I had clayed the car last night, and it stayed garaged, and I went over it again with QD before the Pinnacle, and I still got this result on the pads. This is a garage kept, and usually covered, car, so I sure didn't expect...

    2005 Tundra - hit it w/some M205 this weekend.....finally

    Curses to you all - I was blissful in my ignorance, and then found this site. Joined. Lurked. Read. Bought a DA. Ordered stuff. Ordered more stuff. Unable to "see" cars and trucks anymore. Just see swirls and stuff. Like out in my driveway....... So, thanks all. Mine eyes have been...

    Just how necessary is using a wax or sealant.........

    My 2011 Camaro SS stays garaged and covered (in the garage) to boot. Comes out on goldilocks days only. While I would probably enjoy waxing it, it's a silver car and I've read here (somewhere) that a sealant may look better. Yeah, no excuse for not doing anything yet. Yep, you read that...

    New from central Wa.....

    Read through this forum for a couple months, and bought a handful of things to get an older Camaro squared away. See post w/pics in "Show & Shine" (?) section, assuming that was the right place to post that. Then intend to expand skills but not beyond maintaining my own 3 or 4 vehicles, plus...
