    $5.000 detail and $9.000 wax can ?

    You guys do realize that video is 6 years old? He has been discussed here and everywhere else countless times. That wax is the Zymol Royal, which use to be their most expensive stuff until the Solaris Glaze came out. Overpriced wax IMHO, yes. However charging 4 figures for a detail isn't...

    iPad question.

    If you are out and about, then yes, 4g is amazing. Make sure you go Verizon, because AT&T LTE is basically non-existant, and HSPA+ on AT&T isn't much better then 3g, if at all; Verizon LTE or WIFI. Proof? AT&T's website says they have reached 28 cities, whereas Verizon is up to 196, and is...

    In-Out-Burger....

    Had 5 guys, had in and out, the counter, and theynwere all good, but by far, the best burger I ever had would be from Tip Top Meat. Nothing compares for just a simple cheese burger. It's a German meat place that is also inexpensive....just awesome.

    cell phone canceled

    I actually work for a cell phone company, and I can honestly say having a smartphone is just an amazing thing, but it can easily control you, instead of it just being a tool. I've stayed clear of the serious addiction by just not allowing myself to download games, as this is the big killer, and...

    Hi Tech Magna Sponge instead of clay?

    I've been getting a few emails on a review I did on the product previously, and let me clear something up. If you have never used a clay bar before, I would recommend buying a kit and using it before you jump onto the Hi-Tech Sponge, or any aggressive clay for that matter. I say this because...

    Does anyone have experience with Xzilon?

    You are essentially paying for a warranty. The product itself IMO is alright but nothing to really write home about, but the warranty is ok. Keep in mind it does have a lot of loopholes so make sure you stick by them. Even though at my previous job we offered it, I would never sell it because...

    Why it's important to clean your pads often...

    A method I have used with some success is to fill a bucket about 1/2 way with water/solution, and when it is time to clean the pad, hold the grit guard in one hand, while the other is holding the polisher running. You basically have to hold them sideways vs flat like in a normal pad washer, but...

    Chroming wheels

    Still too expensive for my taste. Gotta wait till Monday (all the businesses are closed weekends), but I am probably going to pursue the powder coating and still spray on chrome. Honestly, I am looking into the $200-300 dollar range, maybe $400 if all hell breaks loose. I know it sounds like...

    Chroming wheels

    Is a mirror like finish possible with powder coating though?Well where I am at is I have a set of factory BMW wheels that have a bare aluminum lip. I know this for sure because I stripped the coating off in the attempt to polish it, but quickly realized just how much work this would entitle not...

    Chroming wheels

    Alright, so made a few phone calls getting pricing and quickly realized that traditional chroming here in CA is amazingly expensive (~$200/wheel), and places that do it are few and far in-between. My question is for those down here in SoCal; I happened to watch a video from Jay Leno's Garage a...

    Help ME pick my next car

    Personally I would rather have a 2005-2007 Corvette for that little bit more money. To me the C5, while having great exterior lines, had one of the worst interiors I have ever seen to the point where I would consider even a cloth Camry an upgrade! While the interior of the C6 is no award-winner...

    Your Preferred wash mitt and drying towel for rinseless wash?

    You won't regret it. It is actually my preferred media for a normal bucket wash as well. The only time I every go to my microfiber mitt is when the paint has a lot of bird droppings or such where I need that added ability to pull it up away from the paint. Otherwise if it is just that there...

    100% polymer sealant in paste form?

    Paint Sealants like Klasse, Wolfang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant Do you have a personal gripe against Carnauba or something? M16 and Collnite #476 are both Carnauba waxes, and are both known to be two of the most durable waxes ever made. As far as protection, while NXT 2.0 doesn't last long, it...
