Just bought a well taken care of (mechanically speaking) 1994 Lincoln Town Car from a guy locally. The car has 227,000 miles and doesn't look it. Overall the car seems to have pretty good "Performance White" paint. My question is how to take it from a nice looking car to a car that is...

Several years ago I signed up for these forums, learned a little and basically forgot about it. I check in every now and again, but with all the new products I feel lost. I forget which products I used to use, but the line up was MUCH smaller than what is now offered. I am now looking to get...

Well the best thing the car needs is all new paint I think. I bought this car on ebay thinking it was Laser Red(Metallic) because the owner said so, well I get the thing home and discover it is Rio Red(BRIGHT RED). Well then things started popping out at me that I had not seen before like...
