    Winter Sunrise in Ohio

    The warm temps here are killing my desire to get out on the slopes for some ski time. Fully grey cloud cover over here on the westside.

    DIY LED Work Light (much better than halogen!)

    I just bought the dual bulb holder, was $14. I have a large stock pile of manfrotto light stands (way overkill for this), and have yet to make my way to Home Depot for bulbs... but I don't think you can go wrong with anything from amazon as long as its a dual bulb holder. I'm not sure what...

    Foam gun over 2 bucket method?

    I use the foam gun and 2BM, I spray half of the car and let soak, then foam each panel prior to hitting it with the 2BM, then disconnect hose and rinse off panel. I've found that 1/2 a car is enough time to let the dwell action of the soap work, but not too much time as to have any risk of...

    Swapping Cutting Polish

    I ended up accepting the limitations of my current inventory.... and then running to AGO and buying more stuff :laughing:

    Swapping Cutting Polish

    That level of material removal is still beyond my comfort zone, I'm comfortable with modern polishes and not too worried about eating through all the clear with them, but cutting discs seem way more aggressive. This was on a 2011 GS Corvette which i've read has notoriously hard paint. cutting...

    Swapping Cutting Polish

    I only included the stuff that helped to guide me towards what I was doing wrong... in reality I tried about 5 or 6 different compounds, including Megs ultimate compound, XMT #2,#3 & #4, BOSS Correcting, Menzerna 3 in 1 I'm just curious as to the "cross contamination" of the pad from swapping...

    Swapping Cutting Polish

    Was working on removing some swirls the other day, and started with the least aggressive polish and pad I could, but was not getting the results I was looking for, so moved towards a more aggressive setup. I started with Lake Country White pad on PC7424XP with XMT #2 polish, when I wanted to...

    2008 Audi A8L - Big Black!

    How did you address the dealer "decal" located below the 4.2 Quattro? i assume you taped off the area but then did you hand polish over the sticker? or was the wash sufficient over that area? Looks awesome, quite the transformation.

    Swirl finder I can find at a store near me

    Is there something in the Brinkmann, where it has 2 offset LEDs that makes it better? I've always wondered why the official "Swirl finder" has offset light sources yet the best natural swirl finder (the sun) is just a single point light source

    2016 WRX Limited ISM New Car Prep and Optimum Gloss Coated!

    Looks great, I've got a 16 WRX Premium in ISM as well, so far the car has been hit with cicada after cicada, and a nice thick coating of pollen. I'm curious to see how bad the paint will be marred from these collisions and accumulation of pollen. Looking Good!

    Pseudo New Car question

    I have no intention to ever bring a MF towel near this vehicle for that reason. I fully intend on recommending an AGO vendor to handle it. I will look over the paint prior to sending him to a detailer to at least evaluate and "grease the skids" as to what the condition is so there is no sticker...

    Pseudo New Car question

    Hi All, A friend of mine is taking delivery of a "New-to-him" 2011 Corvette Grand Sport, black exterior, black interior... I believe it is called "Triple Black" but I'm no domestic expert. Now here is the thing, he's a busy guy, and has no interest in or time for detailing/maintaining the...

    3D rinse less wash?

    I received a 2oz spritzer of it from AGO as a "gift", I used it on some bird droppings on a car and it worked as advertised, that said I'm a 2BM myself, and have never even tried ONR etc.

    The Quad Fold Microfiber Towel

    The quantity of wax is probably the issue (partly) and I'm following exactly as Mike has written in the thread I understand the breaking of the surface tension for when a wax has hardened/hazed, but with a spray wax I don't see how the twist method helps? or maybe it does by creating a thin...

    The Quad Fold Microfiber Towel

    I must be doing it wrong, I try to fold my MF towels in to nice neat hand sized squares before wiping off some wax etc, but everytime they end up in a mushy balled up pile underneath my hand. Is there some trick to keep the towels from balling up? For example, do you always orient the seams of...
