scratch that

Winter is coming, and so is the cold weather (well actually it was 80 today, but that's aside from the point :)). I have all of my products in the garage, which is not insulated from the outside. It could get as cold as 20F around here, which would mean the garage would be about as cold...

Does anyone know what the best bang for your buck torque wrench is out there? I've heard a lot of good things about Norbar wrenches but they all seem to be around $100. I need one for suspension components and lug nuts mostly.

I saw it drive up next to the bus so I grabbed my cell phone and took some pics. I think it's a Gallardo. Anyone have any clues to specifics? BTW I was on I-95N somewhere around exit 11-15 in NJ.

Dent Wizard is insanely expensive and I'd like to get a decent amount of little dents and one larger dent removed. Does anyone know of any good PDR guys around here?

I just finished washing and spot claying my dad's 2 month-old no swirl '07 bmw 525i (black). I pulled out the PC and a sonus sfx blue pad and was about to prime it to AIO the car when... rain! I felt a couple of drops and did a mad sprint getting everything out of the way in the garage to pull...

I was planning on sanding and polishing my headlights to get rid of some imperfections and return that clear shine you see in any new headlight. I know the 99 540 has a clear film on the headlights. Does the 99 528i? If it does, what can I do? I don't want to rip it and make them more...

Is it safe to use Optimum HC in the sun like you can use the ssr line?

What's the best way to get the dust off after it's been on there for a while. I'm eventually going to clay it and that'll probably work, but it's stuck in some small areas that are hard to get to. *clayed and I had to scrub on the windows to get it off. I don't know how I"m going to get it out...

One of my friends has a new chrome rims on his Mustang (already a little curb rash :/ ). What's the best way to make them 'pop' and care for them in general? Thanks, Alex.

I have some dust that got into tiny places (I know I know, I should've taped. Well I didn't :nixweiss ). What's the best way to get rid of it? I clayed and that only got it off with scrubbing (on glass). It's stuck in places like behind the door handle, under the windshield wipers, etc...

After looking around a bit I'm trying to figure out if I can handle Meg's Diamond Cut. What kind of compound is it compared to ssr2.5? Ease of use?

Anyone know of any inspection places in NJ that will pass you with tints on the front windshield/front windows? I want to get 80% on the windshield and 50 on the front windows (mostly for the heat factor, I have a black car), but it's not exactly legal in NJ.

$18 + shipping (that's what I got it for).

Well actually, the paint isn't terrible aside from the nasty orange peal/fading (not sure which one it is; it's a red that looks light pink) and swirls. Anyone know if this is this single stage or clearcoat? Also, i've heard AIO is works wonders on faded paint. Should I try it?
