Well, I finally took some pix of my new G35, but considering the digicam only cost me $140 a year ago, the quality could be better I guess. The car has about 5 coats of ZFX on so far and the clarity, sharpness, and DEPTH is really nice IMO. http://mls1.homestead.com/g35.html Hope you...

Just got back from AutoZone after buying some motor oil, filter, and the new Eagle1 "Wax as You Dry" detailing spray. Something I noticed on a special display was this polymer sealant called Auri Gold. It was bundled with their shampoo and what looked like a MF rag. Just curious if anyone...

Hey guys, Well, looks like my currect Kenwood eXcelon deck has died, after a relatively short life in my car, so I'm hunting for the best reciever under $200. I've been out of the loop, so to speak, from new car audio gear for a few years, so I'm having to do my homework, as usual, before...

Background: Well, I've had my eye on the sport sedan class for quite some time, and now that I finally got a new job I'm ready to stop reading auto mags and internet reviews (I've done PLENTY of homework) and start taking serious test drives of some of my top favs and do my own personal...

Well, I had a chance to try some 3M PI-2 Rubbing Compound Fine Cut, by hand only, over the weekend. Here's my review: Car needing attention: a 94 Nissan Maxima Paint Condiditon/Problem: Glossy from Zaino, but lots of heavy scratches and swirls on horizontal panels (that were never...

Here' s some shots I snapped this morning of our weather. Anyone for a car wash? hehe http://mls1.homestead.com/files/DCP_0001_3.JPG http://mls1.homestead.com/files/DCP_0002_3.JPG http://mls1.homestead.com/files/DCP_0003_3.JPG http://mls1.homestead.com/files/DCP_0004_2.JPG...

I'm curious if anyone has used Meguiar's Fine Cut Cleaner or Medium Cut Cleaner by hand only? If so, how did it work for you with the abrasives and cleaning? I know Meguiar's states that these are for use by machine only, but these products supposedly do exactly what I need for another car...

Well, just now got home from visiting my local NAPA superstore and it was quite interesting. I was purchasing some Meguiar's Swirl Remover 2.0 when I asked the guy if they carried 3M polishes (SMR and Rubbing Compound). Sure enough, they did, but they were on another display away from the...

Hello all, Well as an experiment, I put one coat of Blitz Wax above the belt-line on the drivers half of my car, including half the hood and top. Since Zaino is already so super shiny and pretty deep on my car, it was a little hard to tell a huge difference, but there was a noticeable...

Hello everyone, Well, I've lurked here since around last October or so, so I thought it would be about time to start contributing instead of just lurking. From the short time I've been in the shadows, I've already learned a great knowledge and new tricks, thanks to all of you great folks...
