  1. Re: How to restore the original paint on my 1967 GTO.

    Some good points here. Considering the old lacquer is "parched", moisturizing the paint is a good move. I've used the Meguiars' #3 as a machine polish, since it is similar to #7, but with some...
  2. Re: How to restore the original paint on my 1967 GTO.

    Start by following this link from 2010: The Secret to Removing Oxidation and Restoring a Show Car Finish to Antique Single Stage Paints
    The cleanser idea isn't all bad, but I've done a few single...
  3. Re: What's Your Favorite Go To All-in-One Interior Cleaning/Protecting Product...?

    Ever since I got the recommendation from Dr. G, I've been using Optimum Opti Clean, diluted 3 to 4:1, as my interior go-to for all non-cloth surfaces.
    It's a slightly less aggressive cleaner than...
  4. Re: Your thoughts on vehicle service maintenance

    I can't speak for the other brands, as I've always worked at GM Dealers, but the Oil Life Monitor is simply an engine hour meter, nothing high tech. Obviously, if your averaging 30 mph, it's counting...
  5. Re: What do ya'll like for windshield protectant?

    I've become a fan of the Griots. I'll do it every 2-3 months, depending on the "breakaway" speed, the speed at which the water droplets start to show some real movement. Once it goes beyond 35 mph or...

    Re: *Your first car*

    Had a couple short-term rides previously, but this was my first "real" car when I went away to college in Michigan in 1969.
    '64 Impala SS, 327-300HP, Muncie 4-spd and factory tach. It held its own...

    Haven't seen any of your posts for a long time, but I did enjoy them over the years.

  8. Re: Cleaners For The Cheap & Lazy - Interior and Tire

    My favorite interior cleaner is Optimum's Opti-Clean. Advertised as a waterless wash, it is approved for all non-fabric interior surfaces by the owner of the company, including touch screens. Diluted...

    Re: Not enough duct tape...

    I think they need "Jelly" from "Analyze This" to open a duct tape repair shop in Florida, since Paul Vitti is still serving his time.
  10. Re: Other hobbies or past times outside of detailing

    We've been winding down our schedule as we all get older and less energetic, but I spent much of the last 30 years of my life as part of a local Dirt Sprint Car team. After being fans for many years,...

    Re: Quick tip regarding wet/dry vacuum filters

    Thanks for the tip, Eldo.
    I've been doing the same thing for years, using "Plus Size" Women's "Knee Highs", kinda a much shorter version of ladies stockings. You're right in that it drastically...

    Re: Wash Mitt Battle

    Personally, my favorite is the white Meguiars MF mitt. It's thick enough to be safe and releases dirt more easily than any other one I've tried. I also have one of the Griot's MF mitts. It's much...

    Re: Rinseless wash question

    I've been doing 90% rinseless washes for the last ten years or so, using ONR, Meg's D114 or Duragloss rinseless. My favorite tool is a Meguiars Microfiber mitt. I wipe in one direction only, which...

    Re: Unknown Bubbling in paint

    Is it only on the roof?
    Z06's from that era had a recall for failing adhesive that required removing and replacing the roof panel, so it possibly could have been repainted by the dealer doing the...

  18. Re: Spray wax streaking .. solved & Collinite 845 diluted

    I remember reading here a few years ago about some similar problems with Aquawax after multiple frequent applications. Apparently, AW has a higher solids content than many spray waxes, so it can...
  19. Re: Finally going to start doing/using RW and WW's... Here are my options

    I'm not a fan of waterless , except for my garage queen Camino, which never sees rain. I do much more rinseless than soap 'n bucket for the DD's in the fleet. All of the ones you mentioned are good,...

    I've had a Zero-G for over 5 years as my backyard hose the wife uses to water all her plants and flowers. She loves it since it's so lightweight and it's been faultless so far. About the only...

    Re: Non abrasive cleaner wax

    In the DG line, both 501 and 105 have some good cleaning properties, with 501 being the more aggressive of the two.

    Re: Cleaning White Car

    I agree with using a cleaner wax or AIO periodically, especially on lighter colors. My favorite when serious correction is not needed is DG501. It never ceases to amaze me how it makes white paints...
