After some recent camping and hunting trips my truck acquired some light to moderate scratches and swirling. All of my polishes and my PC are home in Dallas and I am at school in Lubbock and don't plan on going home anytime soon. I need a detailer in the Lubbock area to polish the exterior of...

Well I just got back from picking up my truck from the dealership for transmission repair. It has been to three different delaers so far far for transmission problems, the first time it wouldnt shift into 2nd gear at WOT they replaced the torque convertor, the second time it slipped a little...

I just got back from Wally World and on the car care aisle they had 2 packs of microtex microfibers for 75 cents. The were avaliable in 4 colors and even though they aren't the plushest towels they would still be good for door jambs, wheels, windows, etc. Sorry if this is in the wrong section...

On my Mom's BMW 1999 M3 the catalytic convertor went bad 5 months ago, and was replaced. She opted for the non BMW branded replacement because it was $500 less. 2 months later the catalytic convertor went bad again. She bought the BMW branded one this time. Now this one has gone bad and it has...

My mom has a BMW M3 and just got the oil changed , the place where she gets maintenance done (which specializes in BMW performance) charged her $86 and said they used Royal Purple motor oil. I told her that she did not need this oil and quality regular oil would be good enough for how she drives...

I was watching TV and saw a good tip for cleaning glass, wipe the outside of the window with vertical strokes and the inside with horizontal strokes so if you have any streaks you know which side they are on.

I did a Honda Civic today with PB SSR2.5 and used a little less than 1/4 of the bottle. Am I using too much? By the way it worked great took out almost every scratch and I was able to go straight to the LSP.

I bought the 4" Brush Attachment for my PC, the heavy duty one advertised for cleaning bed liners. I didn't think of this until now, but if I use it to clean my bedliner with soap and water won't the water get tossed up in the PC and fry it? Has anyone else used this attachment, how did you keep...

Here It is my washing machine! I was itching to try out my PC, but my pads and polishes havn't come yet so I tried it on on the washer with some 3M SMR that I already had and the pad that comes with the PC. Left side is with 3M SMR at speed 5 and NXT by hand, right side is just QD'd. <img...

The mirror in the passenger sun visor on my truck came loose, I guess the adhesive gave out for some reason, i tried to fix it myself but couldn't get it to look right. In order to fix the problem I bought a sun visor off of ebay, the problem is it is kind of dirty. I was wondering if there...

I went out and bought a PC7336SP at Lowes today, ordered the Meguiars pad kit that comes with the backing plate, 2 polishing pads and 1 finishing pad, and some Poorboys SSR2.5 and SSR1. I already have some Meg's MPPC and 3M SMR. I am a complete newb at using a PC and was wondering if this plan...

I found this bottle of Cleaner Sealant in my mom's garage and was wondering if anyone knows what it really is, and if it is any good? It has to be repackaged something. Edit: If anyone can fix this to show the pictures instead of the links please help me out!

I am thinking about getting a new car, my truck is starting not to be practical and gets horrible gas mileage (5.9L V8, 3.92 gears, and 33" tires = 10mpg) The truck is also hard for me to park in tight spots at school and my apartments so I end up parking far away. I saw the Scion tC at a car...

I am currently in College Station, TX and there are these damn love bugs everywhere. I'm from Dallas and have never seen them before, but here you drive around for a day and 200 of them (no joke) are stuck to the front end of your vehicle. I wasn't really worried about them until one of my...

Has anyone used these? http://www.kleenwheels.com I did a search on here and came up with nothing, I was wondering if they would actually do any good and if they make your brakes heat up too much. To me it looks like they would inhibit airflow to the brakes.
