    Paint cleaner before Klasse AIO

    These days, most municipalities mandate a catchment system to reclaim the non-potable, used water. While presumably filtered, some systems are maintained or just work better than others. Something is better than nothing, but a periodic, long session of decontamination and cleaning is warranted...

    Another good and genuine soul goes out. Bummer.

    bumper protection

    Sadly, my junker's no longer an option - long story with bad ending. After much scrutiny on the forums & interweb, I'll have the bumpers custom fit with clear film applied by the best local tint shop (expensive prophylactics), then fold down the ugly black rubber mat for parking. Car ownership...

    bumper protection

    with much driving & parking in several cities, I need something to protect against scratches and chips. The aftermarket seemingly offers three options: black rubber/foam skirts that hang from two straps secured inside the vehicle which must be dropped and secured from/for transit, hideous black...

    cold weather product application

    Loaned out my 3.0 this fall and never was returned, so I'll have to use the Klasse. Usual routine is three apps. with 24 hr. cure without rain to ensure coverage, but wonder about bonding issues at low temp. Generally acrylics don't like the cold. What is the critical ambient temperature below...

    Getting the PC

    Check to ensure that the glaze will allow a sealant to bond properly; some have additives that won't. Other than that, all of the product recommendations are solid and won't dissapoint. That said, plan at least two days for the routine you've described, more if you use a sealant. The PC is a...

    Cavalier Interior

    Always thought those to be an underrated, simple daily driver. Even the mundane Plain Jane can stand out with a bath and some lipstick. Well done.

    will the CCS red pads be restocked?

    Any idea how soon they will be available? Wanted to get some with my last order and hopefully with the impending order. Maybe I could backorder them? There doesn't seem to be a way to add them to my cart.

    I should probably know this...

    Depending on how often you detail the vehicle and whether or not you use a sealant you might consider any use of glazes. They're good for a well maintained finish that sees regular washing with waxes only, but unnecessary after a polish if a sealant is then applied.

    car wash soap

    Just about any will clean, but the difference is how the formula treats the finish. Premium "Ph balanced" detergents generally indicates that it will clean without totally stripping the wax layer that presumably was on it before washing. If desired that is done with a dedicated product such as...

    One #$%& Up Car.

    Whenever I see a vehicle like that in a scrap yard or beside the road I always wonder what became of its occupants, even those I've packed for the bus trip. Glad to know some actually walk away. Even so, an x-ray might be a good idea.

    Flex Edge Adapter - Initial Impressions

    So then is this finally the answer to the Flex rubbing issue? Hope so; I'll order if it is.

    2 Must Haves - Thrifty Info Inside

    Bought a case last year when the impending discontinued rumors were flying. Works great, especially for prophylaxis immediately after use before I can clean with the DP. Just spritz on a damp used pad and let sit until cleanup. Glad to hear it'll still be available.

    Edge adapter FLEX conversions are available

    As one who waited until the bugs were fixed I am hopeful that I will order a Flex DA soon. Is this the correct procedure: buy a machine from AG then send it to Aaron @ The Edge for a retrofit of the bp with a modified E2K adapter after which it can use the E2K pads? Does this mean that the E2K...

    Racer X is Speed's brother

    If you have the opportunity, go see Speed Racer in Imax. The graphics are astounding, and there's some message placement that would be lost on a smaller screen. Went last week with seven nine year old boys as part of a birthday celebration and felt like I was one of them. Also, it's very...

    Nitrogen in tires?

    My best friend dated a girl whose job was to place nitrogen tanks in tire shops so I asked her. According to her info, the primary benefit comes from the larger nitrogen molecules which impede dissipation so your tires remain properly inflated longer. This is less of an issue when you regularly...

    Storing pads?

    I wouldn't chance any moisture remaining in the pads. Deny a growth medium for any spores floating around. Personally use clean, clear veggie/fruit bags from the grocer with a few holes poked in them, then the rest in a plastic file box until called to action. Of course, that is after they've...
