Car Detailing – The pain we all know, well some of us know, well some of us torture ourselves with for the good of the clean vehicle. I recently got a new vehicle and have swore to myself that this time would be different so a week ago I went on a journey to become a better vehicle detailer with the use of youtube and reviews and hours of cramming info into my brain. First if you ever thought there was a topic more controversial then you have not met car detailers yet. Also with the slew of products available there are just as many opinions. In the end to narrow down 3 million videos from everyone from manufacturers to newbies I have found the following to be true. Clean cars are cool and seem to go faster. Aside from that I have found that there are 200 ways to wash a car, but really the best way it seems is the two bucket method or if your into pure insanity go to Ammo NYC and check out his video that covers all the steps but in the end https://youtu.be/uWmtLSQYbys (Overkill for me but a ton of great tips.

Just a quick couple photos on how to replace the cap on your RRS ball head if it happens to show up with the cap broken. No idea how but RRS support was very good like usual and sent a replacement. It simply pops out and the new one can go in its place
I guess this has been going on for some time but for those that do not know and have an older Black Rapid Strap you can upgrade your existing strap (well turn it in for a discount on the latest version) http://www.blackrapid.com/tradein-program I assume this is due to issues they had with the old style latches backing off.

I will be reviewing the new one vs. two other straps I have based on my eternal search for the perfect camera strap setup.
As a user of the first set – I just picked up the second set today to check out the latest creative items for Photomatix. Yes we could all spend weeks and months creating these ourselves, but honestly, they are worth the 14 bucks Trey is charging to save me 2 years of creative time I sadly rarely have anymore. 🙁 Check them out at this link TREY’S PHOTOMATIX PRESETS – VOLUME 2 If you buy Volume 2 which contains 27 brand new presets, whatever you do, don’t click on the preset called “You’ll Regret Clicking This.” You will. Oh, and there’s another preset called “Facebook Drama” that will make you roll your eyes just like you do when some distant relative posts something insanely stupid. And if it’s the middle of the day, why not try out “Underoos Moist” or if your partner leaves to run an errand, dip into “The Pr0nstash.” You really can’t go wrong with these presets. Scout’s honor!
Finally a tape measure I can actually read……
