I think I've tried a half dozen boxes of nitrile gloves over the years and haven't been happy with any of them EXCEPT the handful I grabbed at the doc's office awhile back. <chuckling> As for the store bought "detailing" gloves, some are too large, some fit alright but are a pain to put on and...
I recently subscribed to Cars with Keave and enjoy his content. Among the products reviewed recently was the Zebra Clean Short pressure washer gun and he says it is his favorite gun. I didn't look back in his clips to see which guns he had tried but decided to pick one up. Unfortunately, our...
It is still difficult for me to believe but these two other gents both live within a mile of me. We only all had been acquaintances for a few months but had been talking about having a photo shoot. Unfortunately the weather was uncooperative until last Sunday. We met up at one of the guy's...
There is a corner property across the street from our subdivision that is about fifty acres or so. At one time, it was spectacular and I regularly drooled over it when driving by and wishing we could own it but unfortunately, when the original owner passed away, the property became overgrown and...
Took delivery of "MYSARAH" (her license plate) in February of 2020, a Shelby GT500 with the Carbon Fiber Track Pack and painted stripes options..
The following summer, I decided to put a ceramic coating on her. Despite being almost new, she did have some light marring in the clear coat here...
I don't know how long it's been since I washed the vehicle but for sure it's been at least a couple months, probably longer. It's just been too damn HOT! But when I went outside first thing on Tuesday around 0700, it was the first time I felt some slightly cooler air instead of the solid wall of...
The wife had a little "fender bender" leaving the grocery store last month. She thought the woman in front of her was going so she hit the throttle. Problem was, the woman decided NOT to go and with the wife looking for oncoming traffic, she bumped into the woman. Right front fender, headlight...
Sarah didn't really need a wash but it was a nice day except for the damn wind, and much to my surprise, I actually found some motivation to do something and with nothing better to do, I decided cleaning her was the perfect solution. This one will be mostly "pitchers". <grin>
Didn't do the...
One of the members on fordgt500 dot com has a business called Laserscribe and among the products he sells are custom supercharger lid plates to go over the factory versions. I ordered a set and they came yesterday. Too darn cold to install them at the moment but its supposed to get into the...
I haven't driven my girl in almost a month but she was uncovered in the garage and wound up getting pretty dusty. So, with the OAT in the mid 70's, I decided to give her a bath.
Brake Buster on the wheels..
Rinsed her off then foamed with Reset.
After about ten minutes of dwell...
My brother and his partner who live outside Pasadena, arrived last evening to hang out with us for a few days. So, in preparation for their arrival, I detailed all three vehicles. Then yesterday, the day of their arrival, my wife needed to make a grocery run BUT, it was RAINING! I asked her to...
Tried this guy out on Sarah yesterday and while it's a fine wash pad, it's a bit firmer than the OG counterpart I've been using for some time. That may be simply because it's new and it may soften up a bit so I'll keep it around as a backup.
I was so impressed with the product that I HAD to gin up a celebration image! <grin> Used it today on Sarah after she had a bath. For that I used Reset.
When I finished, I pulled her into the garage, gave her a blow dry with the Max Blaster, did all the black trim with VRP, ditto for the...
Finally managed to make some time to give my pickup a good detailing, the poor girl sure needed it and the perfect opportunity to put the IK Foam Pro 12 through its paces.
I used Brake Buster in it diluted slightly to increase the amount of product, aired her up, and had a go. Foam was thicker...
Mornin' everyone. This thread is simply to show my happiness over the increased traffic on the forum recently. There was a while there where I was worried that it might not survive but thankfully, those fears were unnecessary.
This is a superb forum with SO many knowledgeable, helpful, and...
As long as I have had a pw and foam cannon, I have been rinsing first (with the thought of getting the heavier grime off,) and then I foam, dwell, rinse. Odds are I am in the minority here though based on what I saw in multiple places this morning while doing some searching.
After watching a...
Sorry but this one doesn't include any vehikle photos. <smile>
After we had the pool resurfaced last year, I picked up one of the robotic pool cleaners and what a huge improvement over the previous booster pump-powered, dumb cleaner. But, he ain't cheap and like most things, I wanna keep him in...
Had some pw wand and cannon issues yesterday. First, I noticed that the o-ring on the 3/8" QD coupler at the end of the wand had been partially pulled out by action on the coupler.
Did the usual Web searching but for the life of me, I couldn't find a replacement. Have any experience with...
Gave Ruby a good bath on Thursday and she sure needed it. Beeyooteeful day but very windy, even for here and once again, got a late start. (spending too much time in PS during the mornings. <grin>)
I've had a bottle of Lift for some time although not sure why I waited so long to try it. Being...
