    Micro Fiber towels

    Autogeek runs some pretty good specials on microfibers. I typically use bulk type microfibers for things like interior cleaning and wax removal. Waffle weave microfibers area really great for window cleaning. For drying towels, I like them to have the layers stitched together. If they...

    Water Spots

    Keep your truck wet throughout the washing process. Drying in the sun is a challenge, especially with a black vehicle. Use a drying aid or "wet wax" type product and a microfiber towel specifically designed for drying. As you work through drying body panels with your drying towel and product...

    Recall 37A for Engine Stall

    That is not an easy paintless dent repair. My advice is to find a very reputable PDR guy who has experience working with aluminum as it's much different that working with steel. Aluminum is easy to stretch, and if that happens, it won't ever look the same.

    Ram Issues “Last Call” For EcoDiesel Engine In Ram 1500!

    Sounds like like we better find ways to correct and safeguard against poor management before increasing our reliance on EVs.

    Ram Issues “Last Call” For EcoDiesel Engine In Ram 1500!

    Why not? I'm just asking to increase my own knowledge. Over 20% of the US population lives in CA or TX.

    Do I need a dually to safely travel the western US for a year with a 4,750 pound payload or can I upgrade my SRW suspension to handle it?

    If everything goes "right", then you're probably fine and shouldn't do any damage to the truck. If things go "wrong", you run the risk of encountering an unsafe, hazardous, or catastrophic situation. Should you be in an accident, and it's identified you're over payload, you could have a real...

    Foam cannon

    I pressure wash the vehicle, then foam. Leave the foam in place and hand wash. The foam helps lift surface contaminates and enhances lubrication during hand washing to limit scratching. I use a cheap Amazon foam canon. I find that making the spray pattern wide and during down the flow...

    EPA Releases Fuel Economy Ratings For Hurricane Twin-Turbo Grand Wagoneer!

    The reported numbers are also on premium gas. I wonder if all Hurricane twin turbo engines will call for premium.

    Starting a Side Detailing Gig

    I do a few cars a year outside of my own vehicles - maybe 5 to 10. I agree on polishing skills, but also interior detailing skills. Getting upholstery clean is important. Having some quality, expensive equipment also helps set your services apart even if you are just a weekend warrior. Here...

    Upholstery Shampooer Recommendations?

    Check out Bissell SpotClean Pro. It's not exactly a "shampooer", it's an extractor. Use an upholstery cleaner and a drill brush, then use extractor. Extractors don't use soap - the goal is to "extract" the soap from the carpet fibers - you shouldn't leave soap behind after cleaning. There...

    Undercoating?

    You have my attention. I'm going to look into acf50. My truck is kind of a tacky, oily mess underneath with using Krown and Fluid Film.

    Undercoating?

    I had mine sprayed professionally with Krown a couple months after I bought it. After that, I have been maintaining it myself by applying Fluid Film. If you go with Krown, a tip is to wipe down any rubber with silicone to keep the Krown from penetrating and making it sag. Some of the areas...

    Can't decide between these two used Laramies

    I like the 2020 because it has the Off-Road Package. Flame red with all that chrome is quite visually stimulating; I like the Delmonico red better. Tough decision with the 2020 having more miles though.
