A month or so ago, I bumped into Accumulator's thread regarding an inquiry about Static Cling Protection Films. http://autopia.org/forum/car-driver/92408-static-cling-paint-protection-film.html This got me intrigued right away and started doing my own small research looking for a solution. I...

So, my beloved '07 Honda Fit Sport was poorly sprayed with rustproofing before delivery. This is the one and only time I will have this done to any of my future purchases. Rustproofing out here is basically a necessity, but if the job is going to be done this poorly, then I might as well either...

Hey fellas, Recently, I've been placing orders outside Canada. Some are car care related, others not. I've purchased on 2 separate occasions both from the US, and both shippers using UPS. First instance was a camera valued at $800US, and I got raped for $185CAD for brokerage/custom duty fees...

Hey fellas, Some waxes recommend that you go over and re-buff the entire vehicle about 2-3 hours after you've applied the wax. I forgot to do this, and instantly just applied a second coat. Am I losing any of the wax's potency by forgetting to re-buff? Thanks. :)

Hey fellas, I'm curious. Is an alkaline solution just as bad as an acidic solution? For example, APCs. Some are acidic, which we know are bad and have to be careful where it is used. However, are the alkaline ones just as dangerous, or do you really get the best of both worlds...ie. the cleaning...

Hey fellas, I need help on finding out if it's my washing technique or my drying technique that's marring my clear coat. How should I go about doing this? FYI, 2 bucket method with grit guard, was using sheepskin mitt now using MF mitt, & drying with MF towel (not waffle weave). Thanks :)

Hey fellas, Before I make a stupid mistake, I want to make sure that what I'm about to do is the right thing. The car is a '07 Honda Fit Sport. It's got some really fine swirls all over my hood, and some on the roof. It's so fine that sunlight has to hit the paint the right way for me to see...

Hey fellas, So, my Honda Fit comes with the 5-year rustproofing. Any advice on how to clean the wheel wells and possibly the underbody as well without stripping any of the rustproofing off? Thanks. :)

Hey Fellas, I apologize upfront for the newbie question, but I did search first and couldn't find the answer I'm looking for. I recently purchased a 2007 Honda Fit in Storm Silver Metallic (check out attachment for colour reference). I've decided on using Collinite Super Doublecoat 476s as my...

Hey Fellas, New to the forum. Are there any Indoor self-serve car washbays in the GTA anywhere? And how much do they normally charge? Thanks-a-bunch. :)
