    Experiences with these 2 brand touch ups

    Yes I did a search to start. Has anyone ever used Automotivetouchup.com or Paintscratch.com as far as ordering and using touch up paints? I have given up on the dealers non matching garbage pen. I am just looking for my own personal car. I keep a really good distance from others on the...

    Poor handing with shipping

    I just wanted to see how many people have had poor experiences with package carriers. I recently have received 3 out of 5 packages from UPS(shippers choice) that had some sorta of leakage or cracks or damages. For those who have placed a claim before for package damage you can imagine how...

    I was looking for another 50 or 100 ft garden hose to carry along on details and everyone(and I have no idea how I noticed the first one) had on the packaging something like " Attention this product contains material known in the state of California to cause cancer. Wash your hands well after...

    Small score

    Picked up the discontinued Slide Lock brush and Versa angle tire brush, both for 6.40. Everything in the store was sooooo overpriced that I made an offer. Couldnt find them anywhere. The local place also had A2z tire cleaner from E0. Im gonna call later today and see if maybe they have some #16...
