    Timber!!!

    Fascinating to watch the climbers work; the way they use ropes, friction knots and such to keep things moving all while dangling 150ft off the ground.

    Matte Black on Jeep Hood?

    Neighbor came by, wanted something to protect for upcoming winter. I`m not wanting to have much to do with it, was just gonna give him some CanCoat or FK1000P and let him have at it...until I noticed the hood and the matte black insert. Thought CanCoat would be nice cuz it`s so easy and could do...

    Poorboys Strip Down

    Had heard a review a while back that mentioned it comppromised a coating during a test. Since starting to get car ready for re-do, figrd I`d give it a go just for fun. Have tried the McKees Coating Prep wash previously and it really didnt have any effect on coating or anything substantial I...

    At about 21 months & 40K hard, daily driver miles it looks like the Kamikaze Miyabi x 2, ISM x 1 is about done. Applied July 2017. While the car got the Gyeon Tar, Gyeon Iron Spring cleanup, it appears as if life is nearly over for this combo. Things I`ve noticed recently: 1. The coating...

    Seemed like a good idea...

    Get out of Corporate America, I thought. Trade your cubicle for a van so you can drive around in the summer sunshine, fixing pool equipment and cleaning pools at some very nice homes. Shorts, flip-flops and sunglasses are the attire of the season. Somehow, unloading a truckload of pool heaters...

    Kamikaze Zipang

    Finally got around to giving this a go on (yes, another) 2019 Ford Race Red Transit Connect van...at least this one was a bit smaller than the regular Transits we get. While I woulda loved to do the `ultimate` application of Zipang + Miyabi + Zipang, even my fiscal alarm went off at the prospect...
