I'm at a loss, I saw a thread a few days ago where someone mentioned a relatively inexepensive foam gun at Home Depot? Search didn't have any results. Anyone know what i'm talking about?

I don't think I have seen this talked about very much. 2 cars in my family. My '03 Focus ZX3 and my dad's new Infiniti FX35 The focus has trim between the 2 pieces of side glass, located on the door, I don't know if it's painted or plastic trim, I'm leaning towards plastic trim, what...

Ok, I know there's tons of them out there! Post pics of your old or high mileage cars that would normally be in so-so shape by this time. I bet there's some nice ones around :waxing: .

While my friend was parking his car in his narrow garage he scuffed his driver side pretty bad, he is fortunate it just caused a lot of transfer, we think it's from wood. Areas were: Clayed SSR2.5 w/orange pad, pc @ speeds 5/6 It was tough to remove! Luckily it turned out nicely! :woot2...

I'm using SSR2.5 w/a low profile orange pad and SSR1 with a white pad. After the 2.5 i'm getting a decent amount of hazing. Is it possible i'm using too much pressure with the 2.5 on the smaller pad? should I be going slower with less pressure? Regarding SSR1, what speeds does everyone use...

Sooo, this is my 2nd project car, and unlike the last http://autopia.org/forum/click-brag/84855-project-car-1990-vw-gti.html?highlight=1990+gti this one has some rust... fun. At any rate here's when I got it: Interior Before After F21, Light decreasing, Plexus on gauges, Eagle one...

WANTED: Skilled Person to wash/wax two BMW 7 Series Autos each week Weird how they expect a wax every week and machine buffing causes swirls??? Been using a dealership? lol I dunno the way that ad is worded just sounds really shady...

I posted in General, but I think this is going to be an on going project so i'll just do updates here... I bought this car for $300 from a guy in Chico, CA It has a blown headgasket and had been sitting for 4 months. After digging through maintenance records I found out that he lived in San...

Hello, I just bought a almost running MK2 GTI for a very good deal. I know it's hard to assess based on pictures but I would like some guidance on how to approach this thing, it's quite an undertaking. It has been sitting for 4 months and the previous owner was very very messy!!!! Thanks...

My friend's Acura Legend was hit 'n runned in the driver quarter panel, it was an SUV. There was some plastic transfer from the bumper. Any suggestions on removing the plastic? Clay? SSR1? Thanks!

It's going to start raining soon... I havn't replaced the windshield wipers on my car for a long time and they need replacing. Can I have some recommendation reviews on good quality ones? Thanks!

Are these terry applicator pads from autozone ok to use to wax? they also sell MF applicators, but i've heard the absorb too much. What does everyone else use? (I enjoy waxing so PC is out of the question haha)

Does everyone here use Wheel and/or Tire cleaner or an APC to get dirt off of those areas (before dressing tires, etc.)? I picked up some Megs Tire Shine and it says it cleans also, but i'm sniffing BS, I know you need to start with a clean surface(tire). Specific product suggestions...

Someone in my household accidentally dried all my MFs on a normal dry cycle (read: heat), are they ok? :( Thanks

Hello, Anyone have any good tips to dry pads after soaking them for a few minutes, it seems no matter how much water I get out they are still a little damp. Thanks!
