    Re: Detailed my '03 Silverado

    The truck looks terrific! I've done lots of GM trucks & SUV's over the years, and your generation remains my favorite. Nice to see one so loved.
  2. Re: what do you use for a detailers spray - bulk size

    I'll toss out an old-school option, but one that remains one of my favorite products. Poorboy's Spray and Wipe. I love the stuff, and stock up by-the-gallon when it's on sale.

    ONR is certainly a...

    Re: Pinstriping removal

    FWIW...and not to be 'that guy' - but I'm sure this isn't factory.

    I use 3M GP adhesive remover, a bit of hot air, and a trusty old plastic putty knife. Mineral spirits (or lacquer thinner) will...

    Re: how would you do these windows?

    I so need to try CeriGlass. I too throw M105 at this problem, and have found it to be slow on the worst etching. FG400 should be perfectly fine. Good luck.

    Re: collinite 845 haze

    Not to pile on, but definitely....too much product. "Much less than you think....seriously!" is the right amount for any LSP. You can always apply a second coat if you feel it's needed, but...

    Re: Clarification please, WG DG Sealant

    DGPS is such an awesome product. I think of it as a sealant that looks like a wax. I too apply after polishing with M205, but I will do a quick ONR mist/wipedown if there's significant dusting. In...

    Re: wax/sealent on rubber near windows

    A good degreaser - APC, the Griot's product, even trusty old Waxblaster - and a nylon brush for agitation. And a roll of painter's tape so you don't make the same mistake next time. :)

    Re: Opti-Coated Wheel Failure? See pics.

    Before you spend a lot of time.... try a simple Dawn (or other fairly heavy degreaser) wash. What you're experiencing sounds very typical, and I think you may be pleased with the results.

    Re: Spotting cars that have had bodywork.

    Really good advice above. If you don't know the history of a vehicle, it's one reason (of many, of course) to pay close attention throughout your correction effort. Even really good...
  10. Re: Wheel well cleaning when doing a WW or Rinseless?

    Great advice above. I still subscribe to using the garden pump/sprayer for washes like this, especially in winter months. I start by spraying the wells, tires, and wheels, and then continue working...

    Re: Replacement for Zaino Z-16-Tire Gloss

    Fascinating. I'd heard this before, and now I'll just have to go buy some. I am a total Z16 junkie. After trying just about everything, I went with Z16 and haven't looked back. That was about...

    Re: Best Rotary?

    When I purchased I narrowed things down to the Makita 9227 and DeWalt 849. I pretty much tossed a coin and went with the Makita. Honestly...I lost that coin toss. I struggle quite a bit with the...
  13. Re: Another Ibis White Audi RS3 - Detailed by Lawrence

    Really, really great work! Ibis can be difficult to make look really glossy, but you did a wonderful job with the LSP, and obviously with the corrective effort. Kudos. And....what a car!

    Re: Acura RDX

    FWIW....I'd consider the tech package for resale reasons if nothing else, although I strongly suspect you'll enjoy using it. Otherwise, seems like a really terrific vehicle. IME, Acura is worst of...

    Re: 3" backing plate and adapter for 9227c

    I don't know about an extension, but Lake Country makes a 2-7/8" backing plate (5/8" 11UNC) that will fit. It can be had with a few simple mouse clicks....

    A different kind of detail

    Sort of a follow up to the Guitars thread, I recently lucked into an instrument from my youth. Back in 1990, I bought my first ever five-string bass, a Peavey Dyna-Bass. Great instrument, and in...
  17. Re: Poorboys SSR3 - Menzerna IP2100 or M105/205

    What's your hardware? Which polisher and pads are you using?

    Lots of polishes can be used in direct sunlight, including 105/205. Many years ago I used SSR3, but didn't much care for it. Aside...
  18. Re: Help me choose my Lake Country flat six pack

  20. Re: **Random photos of anything... (that YOU have taken)**

    ^ Nice! The best camera is the one you have with you. Well done. I've become increasingly intrigued by cell phone shots lately, to the point where I'll purposefully leave the other gear at home.

    Good luck! I'm anxious to see what you decide. Photography is fascinating and addicting. Aside from the desire to accurately capture what we do in a correction effort, I'm always amazed at how...
  22. Re: DSLR lens for automotive photography/detailing

    I absolutely LOVE the 35mm lens. Best $200 I've spent on photography gear, hands down. I shoot with my trusty old D90, and I have to tell you - the 35mm spends a lot of time on there.

    A good...

    Two great options for you from the Nikon catalog...

    50mm f/1.8

    35mm f/1.8

    You can find both in the $200 range. Great low light performance, and perfect focal length for this kind of work. ...
