Has anyone heard of this or tried Simoniz Self Drying Car Wash? I just came across it at O'Reilly's this afternoon and while I'm not generally a Simoniz fan, I could see benefits if there was anything to their claim of self drying. Not that I'm just being lazy, but it would make for less chances...

I got my car back from the body shop a couple days ago and now I'm trying to deal with a couple challenges on the new paint. First of all, they buffed it out and left obvious swirls...the only buffer I saw in their shop was a rotary with a wool pad. Second, the day after I got the car home I had...

I finally bought a PC at Lowes tonight and I need to get a backing plate for the foam pads. I already have a few pads I've been using with my Bosch RO, but I need to put my PC to use ASAP. I just got my car back yesterday from having some body work done and they managed to install some nice...

Tomorrow my car goes in for some bodywork and they'll be repainting a few panels; the rear bumper cover and trunk (minor accident) and the hood (my request to deal with rock chips). In conversations with the owner of the shop, I'm not sure if I'd rather have them paint just the panels or spray...

Found this article in my local paper. http://www.news-leader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060313/LIFE/603130303/1093 I love some of the quotes here, and Yeah, that's it. Run right down to the discount store, buy TW rubbing compound and use that in place of wax! :lol

Has anyone here used 3M Fill 'n Glaze (05976)? I'm talking about the old pink stuff. It's discontinued, but I recently found a couple gallons of old stock at a local store. I know most of the time we all want to avoid using fillers as a crutch, but sometimes it makes sense; e.g. when the paint...

...for this poor, neglected engine out of a 7-series BMW. I found this on another board and thought I'd share. Car specs call for full synthetic and it was subjected to dino oil for 60k miles without changing the oil or filter. Even sadder, the guy sold it like this and it didn't lock up till a...

Found the California Car Duster at Bog Lots for $6.99. I know their inventory varies a lot from place to place. This was in Springfield, MO. Might be worth a look at your local store.

I've read a few people here say you can't determine whether wax or sealant is still offering paint protection by water beading, gloss, etc. Then what standard can you use?

This post was originally planned to show off how well I was able to detail my wife's very neglected black 2000 Focus. After a phone call from her this week telling me that she totaled the car when she hydroplaned in the middle of a curve on the highway, I had to pull my 1990 Olds Touring Sedan...

I'm not exactly a Nascar kind of guy, but I used to love watching rally racing on SpeedTV. Since they've dropped the coverage, I'm wondering if there's anyone out there that's picked up coverage on the Dakar Rally or WRC racing. Can anyone help me find a fix?

This last Saturday it got into the mid 40s and I decided to a quick wash then wax with NXT liquid. The next day I did another quick clean and applied a layer of NXT Spray Wax to top things off while inside an unheated garage where it was probably also in the 40s (colder day outside). After I put...

I've had my Chrysler LHS for less than 2 months and today it suffered it's first major insult. On the highway on my way home from work today, I'd just glanced at the truck in the lane beside me and as I looked forward again, I caught a glimpse of a dark blur flying up and over the car followed...

Yeah, I'm new to this stuff, taking it seriously at least. I've been reading threads for awhile and yes, I've read the "Repairing Scratches" article in the Learn section. I just bought a 2001 Chrysler LHS with the deep garnet red pearl coat. I itching to give it a proper shine and have picked up...
