Took my truck (95 Dakota) into the garage with a emmisions problem and while diagnosing the problem the mechanic found a broken frame. It is broken on the pasenger side just behind where the control arm attaches to the frame. Anyone hear of this happening? The truck has neaver been in an...

I detailed a car Monday with quite a few scratches all over. I decided to us Megs DACP for the first time because it is more aggressive than other products I use. I found it VERY difficult to wipe off. I wound up using 50/50 mixture of water and alcohol to remove the residue. Could it be I...

I remember reading that just before the customer picks up their car, the detailer would qd the car to freshen it up. Just wondering how long one should wait before using a QD if using a carnuba. Does the wax need to "cure" before using a QD? Does this have any benefits?

After cleaning the film on the inside of the windows of my truck I noticed small (short) scratches all over the area. I used Plexus and a MF towel. These scatches look almost like stress cracks (if that makes any sense). They are most visible in the sunlight. I live in Arizona, the home of the...

I have an Infiniti I30t with gold plated badging that is fading badly. Looks like the plating is wearing off leaving a dull brass/ copper color. Now that I know how to remove the badging (thanks BW :xyxthumbs ) I am looking for a source for good quality gold plated badges. Anyone have any ideas...
