Heya guys...haven't been here in a while! Anyway, I have a new '02 VW GTI that I'll be ordering a clear bra for in the next couple days. Just wondering if any of you guys have experience with both StonGard AND X-Pel. Are StonGard's claims about having better coverage around corners true...

Okay, some of you guys with "classic" or just older cars probably know what I'm talking about. I drive a 1987 VW Scirocco, and I love it. However, after driving it 30 miles to work (and even worse after driving it 30 miles home)...I feel like I need to take a shower. I've done everything I...

Heya guys... I washed my car today...mostly just for damage assessment purposes, as I really haven't had a chance to take a good thorough look at my car since I got it back from the dealer on Friday (ruined, as far as I'm concerned). I also took a few pics...I got a lot of the swirls (let me...

(I thought I posted this last night, but....) Anyway, I took some pictures of my car at the gas station last night at 11PM. It was dark, and the car was really dusty, but the swirls still came through bright and clear. Read all about it here...

Well...I took my car in for a fuel sensor recall last Monday...thinking it would be a fairly quick service, and that I would just wait it out and then drive the car home. Well, what was supposed to be 1.5 hour service became rather lengthy...about 5 hours, and then became extended...they had my...

Heya guys: I'm seriously considering picking up a 1986 VW Scirocco in the near future. I've not seen the car in person or driven it yet, but it appears to be in very good condition. It's red, and considering most older red cars I've seen, the paint looks to be in "phenomenal" shape. It does...

Hey guys... I'm going to be putting some Zaino on my parents' cars pretty soon (excellent opportunity to try the system before I decide to switch from Klasse on my car). I've got some P21S Total Auto Wash, and I was considering using it for that first wash...to get the paint really good and...

Heya guys... I'm getting ready for a pretty serious detail soon (switching to Klasse), and I'd like to get my paint in the best possible condition possible beforehand. I'm also trying to get first hand experience with a lot of these items before getting rid of my car and starting all over...

Heya guys... My car is pretty dirty and I won't really have the time to get a "real" wash in until this weekend. I'd rather not wait that long, so I'm considering doing this: http://www.autopia-carcare.com/quickdetailing.html I've never done this before, but it seems logical...I'm just...

Well...we can't ALL have PCs, now can we? I was actually steadfastly against buffers until I found this place...and now you guys have me wanting one! Anyway, I'm considering picking up some Perfect It III, but I don't have a buffer, and I'm definitely not letting anyone else do it to my car...

Heya guys... I live in Houston, TX...one of the most polluted cities in the US. On top of that, I live within ten miles of George Bush Intercontinental Airport, one of the busiest airports in the country, as well. Needless to say, I have a problem with acid rain! I have acid rain spots...
