Not knowing where to place or even how to begin this thread topic is difficult enough. First, it had been awhile since I have posted anything. Not because I have nothing to say, (What?! Captain Obvious being quiet and not saying something), it has become painfully obvious (no pun intended) that...

I saw this NEW line of detailing products from Armor-All called Podium Series as a collaboration with F1 Oracle Red Bull Racing at Walmart, of all places. Anyone hear or know anything about this new detailing product line? Seems kinda weird to see something like this at Walmart , BUT with...

I recently replaced the wiper blades on our 2015 Ford Taurus with new Bosch Icons 365. The previous Icons lasted about 4-1/2 years and roughly 45,000 miles, which is quite an accomplishment for wiper blades here in the upper Midwest on a daily driven vehicle. I do have to qualify this wiper...

Now that we Autopians (well, those of use who still use and post in this forum) have had time to get accustomed to the new format of the Autopia Forum, I am wondering about YOUR thoughts are on it and what are your "likes-and-dislikes" of this new format. Am I getting used to the new format...

OK fellow Autopians, I have three questions concerning "what-do-you-do-first" in detailing a vehicle: 1) On a full interior-exterior detail, which one do you do first: the interior or the exterior? Me, it depends on the customer's request of what is more important that they want cleaned or my...

As an extension of Setec's thread about "Come On People" and trying to get present and past Autopians to post in this new forum format, I cannot help but wonder if Artificial Intelligence programs and software are now having or making a much bigger impact on and to this forum than I realize. I...

Has anyone tried or now own the new Rupe's LHR 21 or 15MM Mark V series Dual-Action polishers? It looks like many of the design "flaws" or user-complaints of the Mark III (3) have been corrected or improved upon, including ventilation/over-heating, vibration, and the front cover. One of the...

Would it be nice for whomever "owns" this forum and it's new look and operating software to introduce it as such a long with some information on new features or what has been removed (or archived). Still, despite my whining (typical Captain Obvious!) it is nice to have this detailing forum back...

I did not know where else to "place" this topic thread, so it is in the "=?Everything Else" Category/Sub-Topic tab I am asking for suggestions and recommendations for a garden hose that you Autopians are using OR may have been researching for a replacement for your own use. I had to qualify my...

Because fuel pumps in modern cars are located INSIDE the fuel tank and are electric motor-driven, I was told that gasoline acts as the coolant for them in Hot Weather and it is best to keep your gas tank filled and never run it under a quarter tank in Hot weather, as this can expose the fuel...

Well, it seems Adam`s Polishes, ANOTHER higher-end detailing product company, is testing the consumer market waters at Walmart. I thought I was seeing things, but there they are. Not a lot of the product line; just a few detailing product items and less than the Chemical Guy`s product line that...

Edited note by Original Poster (OP): I had placed this thread topic in the Professional Detailer`s General Discussion sub-forum, but it got "buried" in its alphabetical listing rather than by date, nor did come up as a New Post, so I re-created this topic as a Post New Thread here in this...

Palm Beach Motoring Group is REALLY starting to upset me. I tried to find a phone number under Contact Us at the bottom of the front page (Home) on the Autopia Forum website: FILE NOT FOUND OK, try the Autopia Store : NO PHONE NUMBER listed; Contact Us only has e-mail form to file out OK, try...

This request for suggestions for an automotive degreaser is an extension of a Ron K.`s thread on lack of reading by end-user of detailing product and material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) as it related to knowing what chemicals are in those detailing products and how to use them safely and the...

No doubt you are well aware of my efforts with the exhortations for my fellow Autopians to buy their detailing products from the Autopian Store to provide them (Palm Beach Motoring Group and its affiliates) with the profits made from those sales to invest back into this forum to keep it up and...

My use of this particular product is an extension of the topic discussion on wheel cleaners. Reference: Concentrated Wheel Cleaners- What`s your preference? So rather than post my response about Dark Fury within that topic and have it get lost or buried, I decided to start this review. It is...

This question comes about as I was perusing the older thread about wheel cleaners and the OP said he is finally trying 3D`s Wheel Cleaner Reference:Concentrated Wheel Cleaners- What`s your preference? SO, I look for this product on the Autopia Store: Not there. Seems that there are very FEW 3D...

Someone asked recently asked "How do I clean my microfibers"? Please reference the thread: Help with Towel Choices and Process This detailing topic/subject keeps coming up again-and-again, so rather than add (and bury) my somewhat lengthy response within the above referenced thread, I will...

This thread topic really started in July 2007 when Superior Products was just getting started: Ref:Superior Products What precipitated this "Part 2" topic was my buying Meg`s Detailer Line Ready-to-Use Non-Acid Wheel cleaner (D143RTU) at O`Reilly`s Auto Parts Store. When asked if they could...

So my Toro Ultra Leaf Blower-&-Vacuum Model No. 51619 I have used for the past 6 (or 7) years for drying off vehicles after washing them via the 2-bucket method has died (fried the electrical 12-GA wire extension cord as well trying to use it too long to finish out a drying a vehicle...
