A buddy called this morning and said.......Let's have a Photo-Shoot at the Lake..... Great weather........80 degrees.......no wind....... Here's a nice one....... The rest are here: Three Ponchos by the Lake.........

What a CHALLENGE!!!!!!! This little project took about 3 hours.

Here in Missouri the first car show of the year is a BIG DEAL.......after a long cold winter..... First car show was today. "2003 Project Graduation Car Show" in central Missouri........weather was cool but sunny. Here's what I brought home. Hard work paid off! (1st place - Modified -...

I have the misfortune of having to work "off-site" for a couple of months. At the off-site location, it is necessary for me to drive on a gravel road for about 2 miles each direction. After only 2 weeks, I have seen SIGNIFICANT tire wear! Especially on the "shoulders" of the tires...

I'm getting used to using "Big Blue" WW drying towel. After one or two dryings, its not really dirty. Maybe just a couple of dark spots from the wiper blades or rubber weather stripping. Should I wash it after every car drying? Or do you guys do a few dryings before re-washing it...

I have both the "Big Blue" Drying towel (waffle weave MF) and the Absorber synthetic chamios (sp)..... After using the Big Blue for about a month now, I really prefer the Absorber. I know that I am in the minority here, but the Absorber just seems to do a better job for me. Yes, I do...

What a great weekend.....77 degrees in KC......its about time! Here was my weekend project.... GOOD-BYE SALT!!!

Most people don't reallize it, but detailing cars is an excellent cardio-vascular workout! Even if you just wash, dry and QD, we're talking about a minimum of 1-1/2 to 2 hours that you never stop moving (and fairly vigorously). When I'm asked if I excersize, I tell people that I detail...

I have been a Zaino user for about a year. For car shows I would like that extra edge, so I am planning to apply a coat of S100 or P21S just prior to the show. Car shows are sometimes several months apart and I want to continue to use Zaino between shows, because of its longevity. Can I...

Is there any reason not to use MF towels on tinted windows (window film)....? The only restriction I know of on window film is not to use ammonia based cleaners. I don't use anything stronger than a solution of water with a few drops of soap mixed in. ????\ Thanks......Bill

Wheel wells collect dirt like a magnet! (for obvious reasons...) After I clean the wheel wells, they need to be dressed to give the car the finishing touch. I am looking for a wheel well dressing that will have a DRY FINISH. Dry to the touch, but still give that finished look. Car...

My car has been sitting in storage for about 1-1/2 months. I had the wisdom to not disconnect the battery and not start the car periodically.:nono The car & battery are about 28 months old. GM/Delco batteries are notorious for crapping out before their 36 month life expectancy. I can't...

I know that no question is too absurd for a bunch of detailing-obsessed fanatics... Does anyone clean the back-side of your tires? This is done, quite often, for Concours events and car shows, but what about you non-car-show car or truck? Personally, I completely clean the back side of...

They are super soft.....in fact, they may be softer than MF's that I paid 4 times more for at PremiumAutoCare.com. Wal-Mart price was 5 for $4.86....I bought 10....(that's all they had). I'll be getting more. Only drawback is that they are only 14 x 14 rather than 16 x 16. Good quality...

MY LEAST FAVORITE JOB!!! I love detailing, but if I never had to clean the inside glass, I'd be happy. Most of this animosity comes from the fact that I have a torn rotator cuff and the 'fastback' rear window and the windshield are extremely difficult for me to clean (shoulder pain!)...

I'm talkin' about daily drivers..... I've known guys to take an entire week off work just to detail the car before a show. I think that's a little extreme. Let's say you can't take any time off from work, but you still want to make your car look great on Saturday. Monday night -...

My car has been parked in the garage for a month.... In about 4 or 5 more weeks, I am planning to take it out and do a little sping cleaning and driving. Is there anything I should do in the way of engine maintenance or anything else now? (My wife drives this car because she only drives...

I started using Zaino last spring and I have very satisfied with the results. I know there are hundreds of Zaino posts on this forum and I have performed several searches, but still need an answer to one simple question. The Zaino Brothers Website states that you should Z-1 at least once...

Spring is coming and time for the car-show scene to arrive! I have been looking for a wheel-well brush with a fairly long wooden handle. I've been using a plastic handle brush and its only a matter of time until I bust it off! Does anyone know where I can buy a really heavy-duty brush?

Since this a customizing forum, I am interested to know what kind of modifications you have made to your cars (and trucks)....... And how much you've spent on after-market mod's......(although its none of my business!):D Here goes: 17� Motegi MR7 Chrome Wheels BFGoodrich Comp...
