Earlier this year I bought an SA rated G-Force helmet to use on the track. Luckily it still has that new helmet smell, but I have a few friends whose helmets smell like the sweaty guys they are. :p So I'm wondering how one cleans the inside of a helmet. I thought maybe I could treat it...

I've got a dilemma on my hands. In April I had my track car painted white, because the old paint was oxidized and cracked beyond repair. It's a really nice paint job, no orange peel, no imperfections what so ever, and I love it. Although I'm not racing, just doing HPDE (high performance...

My dad owns a black '03 anniversary edition Z06. He insists he bought it as a collector's item, and that it's an investment for my sister and I when he passes. Anyway, the car is a garage queen, only driven on Sundays if it's not raining or snowing and there's not a football game on :grinno: -...

There are a handful of cheap "steam" cleaners on the market now, and I'm fairly certain that they're all pretty mediocre. This morning I purchased a Hoover SteamVac Jr., and I'm not that impressed. I don't feel like it does much more than I could with a wet/dry vac. The suction doesn't seem...

Hi all, Here's pics of 2 of my 3 babies! They're both dirty right now unfortunately, I hope you can see the paint well enough. Here's my truck, a 2004 Dodge Ram. The paint on this truck was ruined 2 years ago with a "courtesy wash" from the dealer. I've tried to polish out the swirls...

Hi! I was lucky enough to find this site by clicking on an advertisement in another car-related forum. Two years ago, I bought a brand new, 2004 Dodge Ram, quad-cab, 4x4, Hemi. When I first picked it up, it was a beautiful glossy black. Two weeks later I got a phone call from the...
