Sorry to ask again Sizzle Chest, but which exact LC foam pads do you used on Porsches, IE, what foam type and color for correcting and polishing. I ask because LC makes so many different types/series and foam colors(density and softness) that I could get an idea from your extensive correcting...

SO, Sizzle Chest , this is a 718 Porsche Spyder RS on the same platform as the Boxster and Cayman??? So much for my Porsche-o-phile knowledge! Love, love, love the color. So, the paint-to-sample is a customized hue by the buyer/owner and the color name of Shark Blue is Porsche's designation...

I was wondering if this mixture would work on old tires. Just curious because some restorers have OEM tires like Goodyear Blue Dots or Poly Glass for late 60's-early 70-'s muscle cars, and tire rot seems be a real concern and am wondering if this mixture works on rubber back floor mats, might it...

SO , five years later (nothing like resurrecting an old thread topic Captain Obvious!) and I did I miss something about how well the Shoe Goo adhesive worked repairing this de-laminating/disintegrating (technical terms for coming apart) Rupe's backing plate OR what the consensus was on why this...

GearHead1: Since you are no longer an "authorized" forum administrator, then who is? Do we get to know who to contact now? I personally trust you in having kept this forum, or more correctly, member topic subject matter, subsequent posts, and between member opinions and discussions "in line and...

I am confused (easy for Captain Obvious to be!) You want ANOTHER member name to log in on on this forum instead of your current "BDubya" because you want to use the NEW login name to be the SAME as what you have on Auto Geek.org forum?? It might be that IF you have used the email address for the...

Accumulator: You and myself are "tenured detailers". My intent of the above post is how "different" times are today in procuring "good" (well, common and well-know brand names or those trying to become as much) detailing products that are now available over-the-counter at many big-box stores...

Used to be you got top-shelf detailing products via mail order , like Malm's Wax or Zaino ( back pages of printed car magazines). Now you can buy a limited selection of Adam's Polishes detailing products OTC at Walmart . Times, they are a changin'! Best detailing item I heard about in this...

I really think you need to contact Rasky1, a now non-contributing member, but he has his own detailing business now and deals with PPF instillation, which , I assume, also deals with PPF removal from vehicles. I cannot link his website for his business due to forum rules, but Google Raskys Auto...

I miss reading about "new" detailing products and equipment because these days it seems detailing product and equipment manufacturers and suppliers are are reluctant to give out such items to be tested and evaluated by what was once independent "beta testers" who has no direct affiliation or...

NEVER thought about bird droppings etching thin paint thicknesses on newer vehicles and being unable to fully remove and correct that problem without cause paint burn-through trying to do so. Also gives good credence to the need to own a Paint Thickness Gage (PTG) by even hobbyist detailers...

OK Sizzle, you get my ubiquitous Captain Obvious questions 1) Do you ever use actual clay bars to remove contaminates? 2a) Who makes the "medium" clay towel you are using? 2b) I do see from time-to-to-time you have to "rewipe" with the clay towel to remove heavy or numerous contaminants, which...

Oh yeah, forgot to mention how good that Corvette looks, Merlin!! REALLY like that particular hue of blue, even if it has been said, "All Corvettes are red; the rest are color mistakes" or something like that.

For those who do not understand the "meaning" of Elkhart Lake and what it has to do with the color blue on Corvettes, it is the resort town in east-central Wisconsin about 30 miles west of Sheboygan AND the location for the road racing track of Road America. Cannot say the color of the said lake...

Someone once told me about my asking seemingly dumb questions because of my ignorance on mechanical design application or how to make good engineering drawings, "The only "dumb" question is the the one you do not ask. If you're too proud to ask, how will you ever learn?" Lesson learned and it's...

Love how this truck BARELY fits inside your work area where you took the pics. Not a fan of the color, but it is a great color for adding a few to decals to do Real Tree camouflage treatment for hunting, though. But you did a fantastic job on it. I assume the yellow tape are spots with the...

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...

Merlin, typical Captain Obvious question: What particular manufacturer and it's trade product name soap are you using to make this much foam?? Can you wash in Florida sun with it? Edit: I see you are using Adam's Mega Foam soap in some of the details you have previous posted, so I assume this...

OK, Sizzle Chest, who makes that roller caster blue detailing chair I see in the photos?? Vyper?? (Another Captain Obvious observation and question!) Bet it saves on the back and shoulders. What an iconic purist 911, an air-cooled turbo! Thanks for sharing. The patina on the leather tells me...

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...
