    Hello All ! This place could be addictive !

    Greetings from NJ !

    Just wanted to say Hello!

    I`ve already learned some things just by reading the posts over the last couple of weeks. I don`t know what`s more addictive, spending time here or detailing my car!!!

    I became interested in this site when I needed info on waxes & car detailing. I just picked up a new Acura TL-S and after stripping off the dealer`s wax began applying Black Fire .
    So far I`m liking what I see. I plan to layer P21s over it.

    All the discussions on the topic have been very helpful.

    Thanks all !

    Welcome to DC! When you start to notice what a dust magnet Blackfire is you`ll have a good group of guys to come to and learn how to remedy the situation. Blackfire looks great but it is a little bad on the dust attraction side. Let us know what you think of it.

    Oh, one other thing... Do you respect the mullet?

    Thanks for the "Welcomes". It seems like a nice community of fellow detailing addicts. My wife is convinced that I`m beyond any rehabilitation ay this point! I tell her, at least it keeps me of the streets!!!

    Natty, where do you live? Are you really a "bennie"? (that`s ok, you sound like a nice guy!)
    Actually, there is no difference in the traffic any more after Labor Day. This area is so overcrowded with people and cars I think I`m ready to move to North Dakota!

    Anywho......a quick question: I have these annoying little "warning signs" on the sun visors of my new car about the air bags and child protection. etc. I don`t know how to get them off. They aren`t "decals" that you can just peel off, they seem to be a part of the plastic side of the visor that covers the vanity mirror. I tried lifting a corner with an exacto knife but all that does is scratch the visor - that`s why I don`t think it`s a decal. It`s probably "hermetically sealed"!!! Plus, on the fabric side of the visor a smaller label is really stuck. I think that sucker is on with super glue!

    Any thoughts on this???

    Thanks again guys!

    Not a bennie is the true sense of the word. My grandparents owned a house and bungalo on 16th ave. in Belmar for many many years. I spent a good portion of my childhood down there. The area has certainly changed.

    We are renting a house in LBI next week. The wife and kids (and I) are looking forward to spending time together and forgetting about the daily routines for a short while.

    As for those warning decals....I know exactly what you mean and personally I wouldn`t touch them. The chance to do more damage than good is very real. I agree, they all seem to be heat glued which would make them difficult to remove easily.

    I can`t believe those little buggers can`t be removed. They are most annoying. In fact when I have the visor down that yellow and red warning sticker sits right in my face. More of a distraction I`d say.

    If anyone comes up with a brilliant idea as to how to get rid of them please let me know. Of course, I could always rip them out of their sockets!!!
