Interesting read. I remember years ago some guy (in England I think) did 50 coatings of Zaino on his car. The prevailing view at the time was that he probably removed a layer previously applied every time he added one. Me? I kinda liked BFWD and got a good 2-3 months out of it and it was easy...

Nobody's said it, so I will, son - you didn't screw up your car. You may have screwed up your life by getting the detailing bug, but that's a subject that's too subjective. Anyway, I once polished out a Honda Accord hood where the owner had cleaned some bird poo and bugs off....with a...

I was 15 and took my girlfriend to see Blazin Saddles; we both laughed till we couldn't breathe! Well, technically her parents dropped us off at the movie - but I paid for the tickets and popcorn... RIP Gene, you were an original and will be missed. It's funny, but here, 42 years later, I still...

I don't doubt the floor was slippery, but, I wonder why there haven't been more issues brought up? It seems to me the OP got a bad batch and the thing the company should have done was to investigate and get a few samples back, determine what happened and then made it right. If I had been the...

Local WalMart use to have the full line, now it's only a few items. I liked the tire shine.

For the price of admission - it's silly not to try stuff like AA or Turtle Wax products. In my experiences they worked as well as a lot of boutique stuff that costs more.

Everybody has their own style and likes/dislikes. I can't count how many times I researched some purchase to death and after getting it - was bummed out. If you can, reach out to some forum members close to you and see if you could come over, try their machines and see how you like it. You'd...

Clockwise is good. At least for right handed folks like me.

Hi - PM sent you way

Mike, I'm assuming you aren't Popeye and that the one handed action on the car is due to the balance and smoothness of the machine! I wonder, does it rotate clockwise? And how loud is it compared to the direct drive model?

Black Magic, $4.79 at Wal Mart. I finally tried it and guess what, works better than stuff costing a lot more.

FYI: Electricity is measured in terms of amperage, voltage, and wattage. Amperage (amps for short) is a measure of the AMOUNT of electricity used. Voltage (volts) measures the pressure, or FORCE, of electricity. The amps multiplied by the volts gives you the wattage (watts), a measure of the...

It's been a while, but, I seem to remember Johnny Depp has a 51 Merc also. It's nice to see the old ones and not another tri-5 Chevy. My dad also said he thought his '51 Buick was the best car he ever bought. I wish I could have got him another before he died. Keep on rockin it old school Mike!

I bought a PC ten years ago right here on the Geek, later bought a PCXP as a backup. I had one problem with the PC and it was fixed during the warranty, they replaced the switch and something else and it ran better than new. I bought the Flex when it the greatest thing ever made, i didn't care...

Good thing my boss took the afternoon off, a review and 13 pages of comments is quite a bit to read and digest! My thoughts, first, to all the Flex fans - happy for ya, but I hated mine and traded it to Todd Helme for his Cyclo. Next, I was considering the Rupes but after trying one out, it just...

Wait, did you say you wash your Wrangler? The boys over on the Wrangler Forum just called 911! There's lots of good products here and plenty of advice. I would give it a good wash by hand, and apply a wax/sealer - plenty to choose from and price doesn't always mean better.

After wearing out my B&S microfiber cutting pads - I tend to work on old cars, I was faced with about a forth of a car left and no cutting pads. So, tried the B&S microfiber polishing pad - and man! That thing did BETTER! The foam was not so stiff and allowed me to hit areas that the other pad...

I didn't care for the Flex and actually traded it to Todd (yes - that Todd) for a Cyclo. I kept the Cyclo for a few years and then sold it since it wasn't used much and I got a good price for it.

I guess I'll try to avoid splinters in my butt, cause I'm still sitting on the fence about this. I'm old enough to not let the "oh shiney" new toy make a grab for my cash. But, just looking at the spec's on these, the Megs looks to be a winner due to the huge increase in spreed, 7000 vs 4200...

I started in 2006, and boy! wish I had that article back then. I did EXACTLY like Mike said and even though I've been accused of not learning from my mistakes (married twice!) I did learn quickly that Bubba was thinking I was "mental" for cleaning the brake/gas pedals on a simple wash & wax. I...
