1. I think my speedometer is off.

3. How many wash mits do you guys use each time?


You should check out some of the detail vids on the forum, lots of info. For example even Junkman2000 is a good place to start you will find that on this forum :tup:

Then if there is also anyone else who is serious into detail, they should check out autopia.org a detailing forum. LOTS OF STUFF, hope you have time on your hands :rofl2: I am addicted to detailing, mainly sealants, polishing and waxes :yum:

For me I use two wash mits one for the top down to around my door handles not the full door as well as the hood and trunk, then I use the other mit for the rest of the door, bumper and wheels :tup:


Hope your other issues get fixed ASAP :tup:

This thread needs a Twitter style digest version where I can get a summary of the last 5 days in 140 character snippets!
I'm not even going to attempt to catch up.

Oh, and Ken-San: You suck! I just detailed the fark outta my ride Sunday...and today, it looks like I haven't washed it in months. :shakes head: :roflpuke2:

As a fellow Griot's whore, I use their lambs wool mini mitt for the wheels, a netted sponge for the wheel wells, and rocker panels, and a brush for the tires. All of this with a bucket of soapy water with a grit guard in the bottom.

Once the lower section of the car is done, I empty and clean the bucket and refill it with soap and water. I then use a Griot's microfiber mit for the body, starting at the top and working my way down - roof and windows, hood, sides and finaally the frint and rear bumpers. Same sequence for drying.

Back to work.

Have a great day all. :tiphat:

Cool stuff here: Watch the Wonderful Mechanics of a DSLR Shutter in Super Slow Motion

Seeing how much the mirror bounces emphasizes why mirror lockup is a good tool for those long, zoomed night exposures.

hummmm... my nuvi and speedo are pretty much dead-on.

someone can calculate the circumference of the 18's with tires vs the 19's with tires and see if they are the same or not. if they aren't then, that's probably the culprit. :)

GOODAM everyone! :tup:
