D (and anyone else who uses a Kranzle with QC connectors):
You may remember that I mentioned this product awhile back, Pump Saver. Well, since the Kranzle has QC connectors, up to this point I had been borrowing a connector from the DIC-20. That got old so I finally picked up another connector...
D: I was at OG's site to order a QC fitting and of course, it's impossible NOT to browse, and I came across this product that I hadn't seen before. MOF, I had never seen a pw-powered surface cleaner that reverses into an undercarriage pressure washer.
Yeah, it's crazy expensive but it's...
I have been wanting to check the fluid level of the transmission for some time since SO many folks have found the level to be low from the factory. It took a few months to find the time but I got it done.
It's an easy job and all you need are 8 and 10mm sockets, a 6mm Allen wrench, and a...
Found some motivation yesterday morning and gave Sarah a Reset bath. After a blow dry, I got out the BigFoot and polished her windshield in preparation for using D's recommended glass prep product, Gyeon Quick View.
Super easy to apply and they say to let it dwell for at least five minutes then...
I have been so busy with a new deck project that I had to neglect Sarah. Meanwhile, after a few drives, she was quite dusty and dirty so I got after it yesterday. I also recently took delivery of Wolfgang's Vinyl and Rubber Protectant and wanted to try it out. As soon as I pulled the mats out, I...
After spending half a day greasing the mower yesterday, I wanted to give her a good degreaser bath. She came out cleaner than I expected especially considering she is eighteen. After that I decided to wash my poor golf cart which had been abused over the last couple big projects and she also...
After giving my girl a bath on Thursday, I took the opportunity to put a coat of CarPro Reload on her yesterday while it poured down rain outside. It took most of the day and it is nearly as intensive buffing as a dedicated ceramic application.
Got it done then wiped out the wheels from rusty...
I had to repair my pressure washer cuz I broke it. :-) Took about ten days to get the correct parts but by then, the car was REALLY dusty. Gave her the much needed bath....
The next day, I did a wipe down using GTechniq's Panel Wipe and then spent a number of hours putting a coat of...
I started seeing positive numbers on the DIC-20 display after seven months of regular and frequent use. Ordered the new carts and did the swap yesterday.
The original carts were not "see through" so I couldn't tell how "dirty" they were but the exterior of the new carts is clear. I added the...
A headline from this morning...interesting reading.
"2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 revealed with race car-style V8"
Built on an updated version of the Stingray's mid-engine platform, the Z06 swaps the Stingray's 495 hp 6.2-liter pushrod V8 for a 5.5-liter overhead cam V8 equipped with a...
Long story short...a young, aspiring photographer saw my car on my window tint guy's Fakebook page and called him to get my number. My buddy called me to ask first and when I agreed, he gave the photog my info.
This fella lives two hours south down in the Rio Grande Valley and works for...
I was in northern Ohio the past few days, grew up there. Hadn't been back in a few years and this time, the MUCH slower speed limits in the area really hit me.
It quickly dawned on me that I would definitely not enjoy the car if I lived there, it was quite frustrating, even in a dinky Nissan...
Rather than intrude on Jaime's thread further, I figured I'd post separately to get opinions. :cool:
So I sorta kinda took him up on his suggestion and added one. Curious to see which is more popular. Top to bottom...my best guess for:
Brushed Titanium
Brushed Rose
Brushed Bronze Tinted...
Since DB turned me on to this product, I have fallen in love with it. With a ceramic coating, this "topper" spray is perfect. It enhances the hydrophobic properties, deepens the gloss, and doesn't leave any residue. It is now my GoTo product for a post-detailing spray.
Yes, it's true. My good friend and fellow Track Attack attendee, Jaime O., sent me a PM last week. Through some crazy circumstances that I'm still not sure I understood, he somehow wound up with an available Beith Performance CF steering wheel. He didn't need it and...
..did I want it?
As I...
Heck, it only took me a year and a half to get it done, geeze. Went with the best they had to offer, "ceramic" allegedly, whatever that means in terms of vinyl film. (you got me) Stayed legal up front with thirty percent and twenty for the triangles and rear glass. Nothing on the windshield...
I got ambitious yesterday and put a coat of Reload on the wife's vehicle. I was prepared for a tough buffing job as with the ceramic liquid but it was noticeably easier. Pretty much same drill though, spray on rag, wipe the product over the typical polishing work area, flip the towel, wipe...
I confess, most of my new ideas and procedures come about after watching OG car wash clips. <grin> Matt has learned a few things over the years and thanks to YT, many can emulate. As an example, after watching him duit, I tried using PS Brake Buster with the foam cannon the other day on the...
Edit: I MEANT to post this in the "Cosmetic Upkeep" section..NBD I suppose.

Still waiting on some QD fittings from OG but I had enough to test out the CR Spotless DIC-20 for the first time yesterday on the other half's vehicle. (The Mustang was clean and covered.) :cool:
I...
