    Backing Plate Question

    Would I be right in assuming there is no need to change the counter-weight on the GG6 at all? Just install my 5" lake country backing plate and I'm good to go?

    Backing Plate Question

    Another related question, so I thought I'd pose it here rather than start a new thread. I recently got a GG6. I've had an old PC 7424 for years. Back then when I first got my 5" backing plate, I had to also swap out the counter weight to a different one. I was intending to re-use my old 5"...

    Sweeping snow off car

    Unfortunately in Edmonton last winter they started some kind of campaign about cops/bylaw ticketing people if they didn't full clean snow off their cars. Not sure if that was just our city or province wide.

    Sweeping snow off car

    It's actually snowing here in Edmonton today, but still warm enough that its pretty much melted when it hits the ground. Calgary on the other hand I hear is even worse off today, and from what I heard they are getting accumulation (of snow). This is waaaaay too early, even for up here!

    I have something COOL from Flex to Giveaway!

    Hard to pick just one, but I guess my favorite at the moment is: Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 2 coats of that and my space grey 335i was glowing, and it held up well too.

    Any great performing leather conditioners that atcually smell good?

    As mentioned, Zaino's Z-10 Leather in a Bottle is probably the best smelling one I've used. I also used to like the smell of Mother's leather condition. That was ~15 years ago. I'm not sure if it's changed or not since then. And I also don't mind the smell of Optimum's Protectant Plus. I...

    Shelf-life of products, in general

    The first general rule I'd say is: Longer than the manufacturer claims. 3-4 years? I can't think of any detailing product I've ever had that wasn't still good in that timeframe. Most should be able to go much longer than that.

    Gas smell on hands

    That's what I do. I wash with a citrus hand cleaner (Dojo or similar, the kind that has some grit in it) out in the garage, and then wash my hands again in the house with regular soap (mainly to get the scent of the hand cleaner off. lol) and that usually does the trick for me.

    Have you ever used your Fuzion refill?

    I can relate. I don't own Fuzion, and I don't even have all that many paste waxes but I've got jars of PS1S, Meg's #16, Souveran, Natty's white, and Natty's Red (and maybe forgetting one or two), and none of them are even close to being finished.

    Do coatings take the fun out of detailing?

    I'm not sure if this thread is the right place to bring this up, but given coatings have been around for a few years now is it generally known what the resultant impact is on the autobody repair industry? ie. If you get a panel hit that needs to be repaired and refinished, does having a...

    Optimum No Rinse

    I believe the key to the rinseless wash is how it encapulates dirt, and I don't think that has to necessarily correlate with the slickness you feel by your fingertips. If you're still concerned, limit yourself to a single panel to start with, like a door. Drive your car in the rain or through...

    Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    Here's my latest haul. This is from the Christmas in July no exclusions sale from a month ago. I only work on my own vehicles, and the occasional relative's, so some of these supplies are going to last me a LONG time. * The free sample is Wolfgang Deep Gloss Spritz Sealant.
