    What's happening in Greece???

    You may or may not have heard about the current situation in GR. Basically the government decided in one night to shut down the state owned media (both TV and radio). The pretence is to save money and reinstate an agile private owned successor. This constitutes a blatant violation of the...

    Used Glasur for the first time!

    I didn't resist this deal after reading all this time how good Glasur is. I used it this weekend on my recently detailed EOS (http://www.autopia.org/forum/car-detailing/137020-vw-eos-semiannual-paint-care-session.html) I prewashed with 1Z antiinsekt, washed with DG901 and dried with WW...
