Anyone on here polish outside? I don't have access to a garage right now and was thinking of purchasing a car canopy to cover the car from the sun so that I can polish outside. Is it okay to polish in sunlight? I had a tried a few searches but nothing came up. Also if you know any places to...

Some or scratch that almost all of my interior gauges/AC controls lighting have just decided to short out on me. She is going to hit the century mark soon so I figure that is what is causing the problems. Anyways, how can I fix this? (Pictures below) I know, I know, it's filthy but I'm...

Hey guys I was searching on ebay in between my finals and found this dirt cheap RX-7. I wish I could afford it but I can't and I thought that since most of you guys are all car guys that one of you might be interested in it. As far as I can see it looks like it's in excellent condition...

So my dad was running some errands this morning and when he came back to the car he noticed a big tear in the front bumper. There were no other cars around so we're assuming it was a hit and run:bat since no information was left. Basically the whole front bumper needs to be replaced and I...

So my tires were low so I went to the gas station to fill tem up. I fill them all up to right about spec. When I got home I wanted to double check them even though I know when they warm up they expand, I just wanted to make sure everything was fine. So when I took off the valve cap on...

I picked up some IG and was wondering if it is only for exterior windows? Right now I have some Eagle One 20/20 glass cleaner but it's a spray bottle and it's hard to keep those aimed at where you want it to go so I picked up some IG and was wondering if it's okay to use on interior windows.

Hey I've posted quite a few topics to critique my washing plan. It's been a while and I'm finally going to be able to give the car a full wash this labor day weekend. I'm planning to pick up some scratch X but I was wonderng if I should pick up some meg's cleaner wax (apart of the 3...

I did a few quick searches and found out that alot of you use it on your wheel wells. I just wanted to make sure I had the right process down. Should I just follow the directions for the tires? The tires directions are to spray the sidewall and wait 5-10mins then rinse away. Would...
