Not longer have a WRX and was wondering if a mod could change my username to STL 350Z Thanks :)

New to the porter cable 7424 and machine polishing... bought the Griots Garage Swirl Remover Kit as a starter kit and was wondering if I made a good choice? Any tip's for me before I get started? My 350Z is going in for a new paint job at the end of the month (Pike's Peak White). I figure there...

Ordering these wheels next month for my 350Z and I would like some recommendations for the care and protection (wax) of them. They are a mixture of matte black spokes with a gloss back step lip. What kind of wax should I use to care for the matte sections as to not make them shiny but add...

I am the 2nd owner of my Pikes Peak White 05 350Z. When I bought it I thought to myself "Wow the paint looks great for a Z with 88,000 miles and nearly 5 years old!". I was applying detail spray under the lights in the garage last night and started noticing high and low places in the clear all...

Has Walmart stopped carrying MGC? I noticed last night they had no place on the shelf for it anymore. If so what would be a good replacement wash because thats all I have used since 2005.

I wrote this review a few days ago and wanted to share with those of you here on Autopia. I want to say if you are a lazy person this product is not for you. I easily spent 4 hours doing this right and if you are not a person that pays close attention to detail you will not get good results...

Since everyone loves kittens I thought I would post a couple up I took of my friends. 1. 2. 3.

How well would this kit do on light swirl/washing marks? I have a 2006 Chrylser 300C SRT8 with 22k miles that has been maintained perfectly by the previous owner and has very light imperfections in the paint. I am also a beginner and have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata to practice on before touching my...

Looking at Griot's micro fiber wash pad's or sheepskin mitt. What would be the best choice for the new red paint on my 350z? Already got 2 five gallon buckets and grit guards and now just wanting to keep from messing my new paint up with wash swirls. The first to items listed. Car Cleaning...

My 2003 Redline 350Z will be going into the shop on Feb 9th for a complete strip down and repaint of it's original color. When I get it back I know how to wash with the two bucket methods and drying with a Groits Garage micro fiber dry towel. My question is this... the shop manager said their...

Picked up Swirl Remover 2.0 and Fine cut cleaner for my Redline 350z thats been neglected. I will be using my random orbit buffer for these and I want to know if anyone else has used them and if anyone can give me any tips?

Runs great and looks ever better... :D 1. 2. 3. 4.
