    Detailing lesson to be learned here?

    I Move the vacuum because I hate dealing with/pulling hoses with a passion that exceeds the fire of a thousand suns. Generally I'm just vacuuming with a small handheld portable that we got from a bank promotion back in 1989 :D Would love to get one of these cordless hand vacs from MetroVac but...

    Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    ‘Abandoned Cart’ e-mails are a handy part of nearly every ecommerce platform…on both sides of the transaction. If I’m buying stuff online that I don’t need right away I’ll always fill the cart and then abandon it. More often than not, an email offer will arrive within 24 hours…and then I’ll...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    And in the case of Amazon, you can sell in (at least) 2 ways: Fulfilled by Merchant (FBM) & Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA). FBM the order comes to the merchant’s Amazon Seller Center and is fulfilled by merchant like any ‘ol order that is placed on merchants direct online store. With FBA the...

    Suggestions for coating a PPF car

    1. 50ml is more than enough for a car; generally 30ml is plenty aside from larger SUV’s. No real need for PPF-specific coating for the most part although usually they are easier to use. 2. Plan seems sound although Gtechniq Panel Wipe is pretty aggressive as far as panel wipes go, never really...

    Kinda Nice Not Having to Do the Work....

    Although had done many coatings myself, when we had PPF done had them do all of the coatings too; paint/ppf, wheels, glass, trim and general interior detail as well. Was glorious to let someone else do it and just hop in and drive away. I’m sure it rained the next day but for a few hours...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Yep…so many “Was gonna’s…” could have easily avoided it: - Was gonna close the hood - Was gonna mention it the night before - Was gonna pull other car out front to take Didn’t do any of those even though I thought about each one prior. Household was severely depressed for many days. Quite...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Well this didn’t quite go as planned [emoji853] After prepping, polishing, applying I stupidly left the hood propped open (unlatched) overnite & neglected to mention it. Wife was up early the next day, hopped in car to go to church, made it about 1/4 mile before hood flew up on road. Now needs...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    A bit of prep and some side-by-side evaluation to see what post-wash ‘frosting’ I’ll be using this Summer. Cosmic 2.0 came out last Fall, used it a bit & Overcoat 6.0 dropped this Winter so not too much time with it since weather broke. May as well do 1/2 the hood with each and watch it from...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Not that I’ve found. Drop down to 19” wheels and a few options but 20” stock sizes, no joy. [emoji1787] Yeah, probably a better option! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    It does OK w Michelin All-Seasons; low ride height is the biggest issue if much snow falls. Could do better w dedicated winter tires but nobody makes ‘em in the 20” sizes that would fit existing wheels. 18” or 19” narrower would be ideal but don’t wanna buy another set of rims/tires. If lotto...

    Thanks…good to see it clean again; all in my head I’m sure but it just seems to drive better when clean! About an hour all told.
