Alfisti: Thanks for the honest evaluation of Menzerna's new Cut Force Pro abrasive and your comparison to TW's-HS 1-&-Done. What model Subaru was it and how many miles are on it? I had a 2003 Outback with the Pearl White Metallic paint and tan cladding. Very nice car that I had for 19 years and...

Does anyone know how he (Ron K.) got the nickname "Grumpy"? (Here's a vintage/early post in this forum WHY he may have gotten the nickname "Grmpy": https://www.autopia.org/threads/anybody-from-northeast-pa.72558/

OK I was wrong about the Ohio DOT and the university in Ohio which was authorized to do the salt neutralizer study; It was the University of Akron (Go Zips!)...

OK, I'll bite... What IS the official Porsche name for this "insane color"? This IS a 718 Caymen and not a 911, right?? (Yeah, guess I am NOT a true Porsche-o-phile when I cannot tell the difference between a 718 and a 911....Dahhhhh, Captain Obvious!) The spoiler on the back lid looks massive...

OK, I will ask the Captain Obvious Question: Why not just power wash the underside of your car on a low PSI setting or nozzle? Or are you 'concerned" about forcing water into wheel bearings, CV joint boots, and the plethora of emissions, CPU engine and transmission controls, and safety sensors...

The Ohio Department of Transportation had the University of Ohio do a study of which salt-neutralizers was the most effective and am pretty sure that it was Salt-Away that was the best , with ValuGard's VG-502 a close second. I was under the impression that Salt-Away was more for marine use in...

Looked for specs on this hybrid sports car because I wanted to know if the body is carbon fiber OR parts of the body are carbon fiber construction, like the gull-wing doors. I would have to ask what made detailing this no-longer-in-production car "fun". Was it the unique (challenging) body...

Vegas1: A big "Thank You" for answering all my Captain Obvious questions. Nice Q50. Nissan's version of a luxury sedan of the 350Z . Is it All-Wheel Drive (AWD)?? Also see the dark grey Audi SUV in the background. Nice stable of vehicles for New England weather! I use Aerospace 303 protectant...

It is on their website: https://www.menzerna.com/car-care/car-polish/business-products/details/cut-force-pro I do kinda "question" how it can achieve BOTH a cut rating of "9" (meaning a lot) AND a gloss rating of "9" simultaneously without using different types of pads, especially foam pads like...

OK Vegas 1, four Captain Obvious questions: 1) You mentioned Meg's D110, which number corresponds to their HyperWash soap. Did you mistype/transpose the numbers and mean D101, which is their All-Purpose Cleaner (the light green stuff)? 2) Was the salt-and-grime in the pics from a full winter's...

Better late than never. Sorry to resurrect a 4 year-old post BUT you did ask: https://www.griotsgarage.com/the-boss-hybrid-micro-polisher/

Accumulator, I assume by Super Coupe you mean his Lincoln MarkVIII?? Ref: https://www.autopia.org/threads/old-man-full-filling-a-long-time-dream.169829/ In this thread from January of 2012, he stated he was 68-years-old then.

I was wondering about him recently. Thanks for posting his obituary. There is SO much that can be said about him and his influence on detailing, not only to members within this Autopia Forum, but to the detailing community at large and the automotive industry. We have lost (another) Autopian...

I suppose I could ask, Does anybody polish their windshield with the special glass polish and rayon fiber/foam pads, like that from CarPro? I have polished windshields with correcting cream/polishes and a yellow foam or HD microfiber pad for correcting in an attempt to remove baked-on hard...

I recently replaced the wiper blades on our 2015 Ford Taurus with new Bosch Icons 365. The previous Icons lasted about 4-1/2 years and roughly 45,000 miles, which is quite an accomplishment for wiper blades here in the upper Midwest on a daily driven vehicle. I do have to qualify this wiper...

Well, speaking of "old" detailing products , I have some Presta Chroma 1500 Polish, PN 133532 and Presta Strata Ultra Cutting Creme Light, PN 133423. I think you used the Ultra Cutting Creme first then follow with the 1500 Polish. Bought these twin when they were all the "flavor of the month"...

Yup, I see it now! Thanks Setec! Not that I WOULD multi-quote, but the possibility is there. PLUS is see your member number AND the post number assigned by this new software (for what it is worth!?)

I see some members doing the mult-quote in their posts. I don't know how to do that. No sure what BB Code is ; Bulletin Board?? Like I said at the top of this topic, " Can't teach an old dog a new trick." (You ARE an old dog, Captain Obvious!)

One thing that IS a little scary is that the ANY post can be shared on any of the major 7 social media platforms listed at the bottom of the page under "Share this page"by a member. That is just a common and acceptable practice these days for forums and social media. Not really liking it, as I...

Now that we Autopians (well, those of use who still use and post in this forum) have had time to get accustomed to the new format of the Autopia Forum, I am wondering about YOUR thoughts are on it and what are your "likes-and-dislikes" of this new format. Am I getting used to the new format...
