		<title>Unsung Hero #2: the entire Duragloss line</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is part of a series of articles.  ”Unsung Heroes” are detailing products that I feel are overlooked, underappreciated, or forgotten, and are worth consideration. –Karl
I often get asked for recommendations on the &#8220;best&#8221; detailing products of various subcategories.  And often, those asking are people who don&#8217;t want to order products online.  I have good [...]]]></description>

		<title>Majestic Solutions: the best detailing products you&#8217;ve never heard of.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I could just as easily put this in &#8220;Unsung Heroes,&#8221; or in &#8220;Cheap Finds,&#8221; but really, Majestic Solutions deserves higher accolades than that.  &#8211;Karl
There are certain items that I wouldn&#8217;t be without as a detailer.  A lot of those products are from a company you may have never heard of: Majestic Solutions.  Majestic Solutions (MS [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cheap Find #1: Pro Line grout sponge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This will be the first in what I hope will be a series of articles.  &#8221;Cheap Finds&#8221; are usually locally found, or found in unlikely stores.  They also tend to be unlikely products altogether &#8211; stuff that you wouldn&#8217;t think is serviceable in detailing, but actually, does a hell of a good job.  &#8211;Karl

		<title>Unsung Hero #1: Vinylex</title>

I love Vinylex, which is made by the Lexol folks.  I&#8217;ve tried a bunch of other plastic/vinyl/rubber dressings, even dating back many, many [...]]]></description>

		<title>Black plastic trim.  I hate it.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure when it became the norm, but I&#8217;m guessing that somewhere around the 1980s, automobile manufacturers started putting unpainted, black plastic trim all over everything.  And I hate the stuff.  You&#8217;ve seen it, heck, you might even own a vehicle so equipped.  Bumpers, rub strips, windshield wiper cowling, mirror housings, grilles.  The stuff [...]]]></description>

		<title>The small things.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Detailing suits me.  If you&#8217;ve ever seen the BBS television show Top Gear, you&#8217;ve no doubt met &#8220;Captain Slow,&#8221; James May.  James and I share an affliction for having our cars just so.

James May claims that there is one item in his car &#8211; a paintbrush, to brush dust out of the crevices between buttons [...]]]></description>

		<title>House paint is the devil&#8230;or, Tom&#8217;s Mazda3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About a week ago, I was down in Atlanta, visiting with my buddy Bowie and his soon to not be pregnant anymore wife Sarah.  I had plans to do some detailing for people on RoadraceAutox.com while I was down there.  The first order of business was a Mazda3 that belongs to my friend Tom.
Tom&#8217;s car [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wet sanding: jumping in with both feet.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, disaster struck.  I was on my way to an S2KCA meet, and stopped at a city park to put my camera in the trunk, to stop it rolling around on the floor.  I pulled into a parking spot.  As I&#8217;m unbuckling my seat belt, I hear an awful, awful, awful sound.
Scrrrrrape.
Yeah.  Put the nose [...]]]></description>
