    Before and after new tires cleaning and dressing

    Guys, sorry to go off topic, but I can't see these pics. I'm using an old Chrome browser on an ancient (not supported) laptop running Redhat. The images are from tapatalk, do I need an account there to be able to see the pics? Thanks, AJ

    Which more aggressive compound/polish might I need

    Thanks, I'll just give the TSR (yet another acronym on this site! I've never seen a site with so many acronyms!). I had to research before I realized that TSR was the WG Swirl Remover that I ALREADY HAVE and mentioned in my post! I'm just getting used to WGDGPS, AIO, WOWO, LSP ... Holy...

    Which more aggressive compound/polish might I need

    Thanks in advance, I'll be doing a exterior detail on my daughters 2014 focus in about a month. I'm a newbie w/re DA polishing (I am very handy with all other sorts of tools, woodworking, metal work ...) I initially planned on just doing a swirl removal, so bought the Wolfgang Swirl removal...

    The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    I haven't posted to this thread before, but figured since danbro posted a picture of a white RAM, so could I. Used WGDGPS on this guy yesterday. AJ

    First 2bm/decontaminate on the big truck (3 hours!)

    I haven't cleaned it yet, I decided to try the Wolfsteins kit. I'll know how it holds up in a few months. AJ

    First 2bm/decontaminate on the big truck (3 hours!)

    Dayton eh? Hey that's only 4+ hours from here! Get that shop built!!!! haha BTW: nice trucks, my last truck was a F250 PowerStroke, I only put 240k+ miles on it before I decided it was time for a new one! Thanks, AJ

    First 2bm/decontaminate on the big truck (3 hours!)

    Update: I washed again today (to remove any claying residue from yesterday). Then prepped the paint with WG Perfekt paint cleaner. Then sealed it with WGDGPS. I feel a bit like the Karate Kid! I then wiped all the plastic trim with WG Trim protectant. Looks like cold weather tomorrow and...

    First 2bm/decontaminate on the big truck (3 hours!)

    I did the 'baggie' test today and it felt pretty bad. So I picked up some Maguires clay/lube and clayed my truck. It is a lot smoother now. I 'think' it looks better, but it may just be my way of convincing myself I'm not wasting time ! haha The clay did pick stuff from the surface, it had a...

    Quick spring detail on the Ram

    I didn't notice your login name, or I'd have known it was a Cummins! :xyxthumbs: AJ

    First 2bm/decontaminate on the big truck (3 hours!)

    Thanks, I was going about as fast as I could. Carrying all the rinse water from inside. It's a 1 ton. I have a Power Washer, but this truck will rarely get its feet off the pavement, so will just use a Foam Gun. I'll be installing a hose bib with soft water. My other hose bibs are all...

    Quick spring detail on the Ram

    Nice. It's great that you can keep it garaged. Is it a Cummins? What size camper do you pull? I just got a 3500 Cummins/aisin/air level rear suspension this year to pull our 31' 5th wheel. AJ

    First 2bm/decontaminate on the big truck (3 hours!)

    Hey guys, Temperature was a sweltering 45F today, so i decided I had to wash the truck. I picked it up on December 21st and it now has just under 2000 miles on it. I took it to the self wash and sprayed off the heavy grime. Then I washed it (2BM with WG Auto Bath), rinsed, Iron-X'd it...

    Silica Spray Showdown: McKee's v. Gyeon v. CarPro

    Excellent idea. Not to add to your efforts, maybe keep a small diary of the weather (rain,snow,salt ...) that the vehicle sees during the test. If there is a difference, it could be due to some environmental factor that a duplicate test elsewhere (different season, temperature ...) would not...

    Newbie

    Welcome, there is a TON of information here. So just use 3/4 of it with that little F250! haha I found the forum in the same way after buying a 2017 Ram/Cummins 3500, I don't have to stop at 3/4 ton! AJ

    Home speaker suggestions

    I have Thiel fronts (nice but pricey, overkill for an echo). I second the DT, I have a pair of their outdoor AW6500's that are impressive. I use them for my second zone (sun room/bar) most of the time. But once or twice/year I take them outdoors and use them for an outdoor movie night with...

    How do you choose.

    I just went through the same decision processes. I haven't received all my stuff yet! I settled on (for a start) Wolfgang products for paint/trim/tires. Mckees for Glass, Wolfsteins for vinly (tonneau cover) + Iron-x + PorterCable DA + Lake County CCS pads + micro-fiber and applicators. I...
