The SEARCH function is giving me fits...could somebody please school me on this product? I gather it's off the market, but I have access to a case or so of it. Can't remember the exact price, but it's maybe $3-$4/can. Does it work? Any downsides? Does it have to be applied to a "bare"...

2007TBSS- Yeah, pick a test spot other than your hood, just in case. I'd make an educated guess regarding the starting point. Your TBSS? It's gonna be hard. Generally, I seldom start with a *VERY* gentle combo unless I have a good reason to think it'll work. M205/LC tangerine HydroTech...

JJ- Thanks, but you might be way ahead of me on this topic, at least with regard to current products. I hardly ever use anything like this other than the SRP...been years since I used my Pinnacle PCL (and it's still the very old version!). I did use 1Z WaxPolishSoft on the Yukon a few...

Friends of mine are working dogs in the Sandbox, so this hits close to home for me: Military Working Dogs - Cooling Vest Project [Note that the opening sentence of this post can be read two different ways :D ]

I'm trying (with zero success :o ) to find a specific type of prelit Christmas tree; I'll try to describe it: White wire branches (real "bent coathangers" effect!), *no* needles, just branches with white-wire lights attached to them. The idea is that the lights from the back side shine...

I'd like to pick up a few sample-sizes of universally useful products (QD, shampoo, stuff like that as opposed to, say, polishes) to contribute to the Jag Club's raffle at the upcoming Christmas party (the proceeds go to Providence House). In the past I've contributed close-out-priced...

My latest project's mechanicals might actually be finished next month, so I'm starting to think about its cosmetics. The plastic rear bumper cover got "flexed" (by the previous owner) beyond the paint's flex-additive's ability to cope; it has some pretty severe cracking in spiderweb-like...

How thick/thin is M205 supposed to be? I just finished my first (quart) bottle yesterday and I refilled it from my new (gallon) jug. The new M205 is much thinner than the old stuff was, about like Half & Half. It shakes up differently (very easily), pours/primes differently ("oops!") and it...

I usually avoid internet discussions about politics/etc. like the plague, but I'm curious about how my fellow Autopians feel about the Cash for Clunkers program. I have all sorts of issues with the govt. spending (my) money on this to begin with, and the idea of deliberately destroying the...

Accumulatorette recently bought me a little 3" Random Orbital from Griot's, and I like it! Other than Griot's, and the two offerings at TOL, who sells 3" pads?

This subject came up for the umpteenth time on another recent thread and I felt compelled to post the following- Layering is simple enough to test for, and reasonable controls (well, controls sufficient for *my* acceptance at any rate) such as equalized starting times are easy enough to...

Who has the thickest, plushest, softest MF mitts *without an elastic cuff* these days? The blue ones I got last time are OK, but I can't remember who I ordered them from, at least not for sure :think:

It seems they’ve discontinued Four Star’s Spray Sealant and Ultimate Gloss Enhancer, or at least replaced them with different products. Besides using them on the S8’s paint, I also use these products on various textured and smooth black plastic items. I simply loved the idiot-proof...

Hey folks, TH0001, who's one of the more distinguished members here, got some nice recognition in the Feb. 23 issue of AutoWeek :xyxthumbs Some other pros who are familiar around here got mentioned as well (e.g. Superior Shine). Nice to see credit given where credit is due.

Just found out that he passed on Wednesday (2/3/09). According to Reuters he was 62 and died in CA of a pre-existing heart condition. I've always liked The Cramps, good psycho-billy with a great sense of humor... YouTube - The Cramps - Bikini Girls with Machine Guns

AFAIK there are only a few companies currently making BHBs and I know from experience that the quality can vary greatly, even within a single manufacturer's production runs. I need a new BHB for the S8's wheels and I want to get the best, most gentle one currently available. I was leaning...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but anyhow... Anybody have a good service facility for Metabo and/or Makita rotaries? For some reason *BOTH* of my rotaries have wobbly spindles :hairpull I'm no rotary-Meister to begin with, and this is making things even harder for me...

Summary: The Lake Country 3.5� Purple Foamed Wool (3.5� PFW) pads can be used for aggressive correction of major defects via PC. The resulting finish will require further work as there will probably be significant hazing. This approach is probably not advisable for soft to...

I was ordering some Edge 6" wool pads from AutoGeek (tried Danase, he didn't have 'em) and couldn't find the *white* ones in that size. Called 'em up and the friendly customer service guy wasn't any help at all even when I asked about special ordering them. So where can I get these things...

I once rode in a vehicle that had a true concealed-V1-conversion, with the antennas mounted at either end of the vehicle and the rest of it mounted in the dash...so I *know* it can be done. What I don't know is where I can find somebody to do it. Any ideas? And no, the people who did...
