    Quick Flitz Review (Or, How I learned to stop worrying and polish wheels)

    A great tip for polished wheels.. First, buy your mom a Buick Encore. Next, pre-treat the mirror polished wheels with some curb rash and a Pennsylvania winter of road brine, salt, blue stuff, and other assorted evils that our tax dollars pay for. Spend a few hours washing, paint correcting...

    Paint porn

    Just caught this still from my helmet cam footage and am dumbstruck. Taken while parking at the office. Bike was polished with Blackfire Total Polish and Seal, then topped with Fuzion Estate Wax. It was a bit dusty from sitting in the garage, so it got a quick once over last night with Wolfgang...

    Sonax Net Polymer Shield - First Experience

    Took advantage of the nice weather these last two days to catch up on some much needed polishing on Rocket. (My '13 Juke.) I hadn't really polished and waxed since October, just doing my Uber waterless as needed. The Collinite 845 was holding up beautifully, but I wanted to catch the swirls I...

    Sealing freshly polished aluminum

    Hi guys, I had been trying to get a very old gasoline stain off of my stator cover. It turns out, the stain is in the clear coat. I attempted to use my DA to clean them following the directions of someone who did the same with their aluminum wheels. In doing so, the clear coat started to come...

    Gasoline stain on aluminum engine cover

    Hi Guys, Finally got my 88 Magna back on the road and spent today enjoying unseasonably warm weather. Since she just came home from the shop Monday (riding in the rain) I also started cleaning her up a bit. My beloved Flitz is working like magic on the chrome and other polished metal, however...

    Winter wash - presoak?

    Hi Guys! I'll be visiting either the coin-op or a touch less wash that I've found in the next couple of days to get the salt off of my car while the weather is a bit warmer. Would it be beneficial to presoak with WG Uber to help loosen things up, or am I just wasting good product for no...

    VERY dirty paint question.

    Hi Mike, I've been working on cleaning and polishing the paint on my '72 Chevelle which sat for many years in my father's garage, and was only washed a few times when I was home visiting in warmer weather. There would be a layer of dust sitting for extended periods that seemed to have...

    Microfiber towels and HE washing machine

    Hi guys, We just got a new HE (high efficiency) washing machine to replace our failed front loader. So far so good, but I have a question regarding cleaning microfiber towels. I wash them separately and use a free and clear detergent with no problems. Dry on low heat, etc. My question is...

    Blackfire Total Trim & Tire Sealant

    After having no luck with Mother's Back to Black, I decided to give Blackfire Total Trim & Tire Sealant a shot. I cleaned the exterior trim with a terry towel and some deep plastic cleaner. I then applied Blackfire Total Trim with a microfiber applicator. The trim looks great, I'm just hope I...

    An open apology..

    Hey guys, It's with no small shame that I admit my mistake and offer my apologies. To those I may have accused of witchcraft, sorcery, shenanigans, tomfoolery, mischief, hanky-panky, high jinks, chicanery, capers and knavery as they extolled the virtues of waterless wash. My sincerest...

    Ragg Topp Convertible Top Care Kit & Ragg Topp Brush Review

    Finally got to test out my Ragg Tapp Vinyl Top Cleaning Kit, as well as my brandy new Ragg Tapp Convertible Brush, complaints of Autogeek (Thanks guys!). Let me premise this by defending the cleaner right off the bat. My beloved Chevelle sat for many years in the garage without proper care...

    For the love of Nanoskin!

    As many of you know, it's tough raising parents these days. My mother, in an effort to kill me as slowly as possible, runs her 2003 Lincoln Town Car through a tunnel wash every three years, whether it needs it or not. With the recent rekindling of my interest in detailing, I took it upon myself...

    Amazing Roll Off - WOW!

    I decided to pick up a bottle of Amazing Roll Off because I had read such great reviews and was "$13 curious". I tried it out on the engine of my mother's 2003 Town Car, as I don't think it had ever been cleaned. Dirt that is almost old enough to vote. I wasn't really in the mood to do a...
