Have any of y'all ever detailed a Lionel O/027 lionel locomotive or cars. If so, what did you use? And how were the results? Thanks, HRP

Any information, experiences, or suggestions you have regarding "portable" carports would be appreciated. Our daughter is in the midst of "moving home" and needs an inexpensive shelter for her Corvette. We are considering the use of a "portable" carport which can be moved with her in the future...

With 4 grown kids living nearby and 2 driving grandkids and a herd of bicycle riding ones (and their friends), my water hose needs some sort of protection where it crosses my driveway. Somehow, a sign saying "ACHTUNG!!! MINEN" with a skull and crossbones won't go over with the wife (and probably...

My car has a leather hood belt; 3" wide and not backed. It is exposed to engine heat, sun, and rarely rain. I'm primarily a Zaino user, and have Zaino's Leather Cleaner, Leather In A Bottle, and Tire Shine. Recomendations for care and protection, please.

Has anyone a quick method or tip for cleaning rocker panels? I have a '91 Reatta with black rocker panels which are covered with accumulated grime, road tar, etc. In the past this has required a lot of elbow grease etc. Any suggestions and/or products to make it easier would be appreciated...

Netscape.com has been my homepage, but they changed it (again) and screwed it up. When I log on I like a good concise well laid out homepage that updates me on world and USA headlines. I've checked out CNN, FOX, Drudge, MSN, and my local paper's website, and none are really exactly what I'm...

One of the fog light bulbs in my '91 Buick Reatta died, and I'm considering replacements of both fog lights with 1156 LED's. Has anyone had any experience using LED's as anything other than tail lights (specifically fog lights)...

For those who expressed an interest in this 61 VW Beetle with only 36k on it which had been parked under a shed since 1970, here are the latest pics (preceded by some earlier ones). Yesterday after making it mechanically sound, my son spent 8 hours with clay, a PC, and various cleaners, then...

My son is getting the 61 VW back together mechanically, (see my previous posts. It has 36k on it and has been sitting in a shed for the past 30+ years). He has asked for some help with the interior. It WAS white originally. Now, with 45 years of dirt and grime the vinyl is tan. We've tried...

Thanks to all those who responded to my original post requesting advice and expressed an interest in this 1961 VW (with 36 k on it) which had been left in a shed since 1970. Here's the first set of followup pics after we washed it! Here's before...

Yesterday, my 28 year old son brought home a 1961 VW Beetle which had been kept in an open shed since 1972. The car has only 36k is all original and complete including toolkit, spare tire, radio delete trim, manuals, service receipts, etc. He, his two older bropthers, and his brother-in-law are...

I'm sure there have been instructions and directions posted somewhere on this site as to how to reduce pics to post them. Please refer me to those instuctions as to how do I do it? I can't find them with the "search" function. " File Too Large. Limits are 440 x 380. Your file is 720 x 480."...

The driver has to be an Autopian!!! http://www.bofunk.com/video/355/dont_touch_my_car.html

Located in Greensboro, N.C. (the piedmont area of N.C.) and am seeking a local supplier of #83 DACP. The area dealers listed on the Meguiar's website do not carrry it Before I added to the seasonal delivery services and paid extra for shipping, thought I'd ask.

Y'all, my wife and I are driving to Orlando (from N.C.) this weekend for a week. What's the lovebug situation? I know that May was the "minor" season when we lived there several years ago.

Finally got around to reading yesterday's (6 May) Wall Street journal. Just about everything shows up in the WSJ sooner or later. On Page D-1 there is an article on The Hypoallergenic Car which finally gets to the hypoallergenic point at nearly the end of the article. I am retired and detail...

Finally, Wf is on the right side, Zaino Z-5 +ZFX is on the left. Sorry about my screwing up the earlier post.

Spent the afternoon detailing this thing; now I'm spending the evening trying to post the @#*&^%$#* pic.

I'll try again. My pics are too big, so I'm trying to reduce them to an acceptable size. And may have to try a couple to make sure they go. And thus far am not having any luck. Please bear with me. This may be harder than the detailing was.

Well, I finally got a "round toit". Began yesterday afternoon and detailed the interior of my '91 Reatta Convertible using Z-9 and Z-10. Then Dawn washed, vinegar rinsed, and then clayed the exterior. Finished up with a regular Zaino car-wash. Today, because of light scratches and swirl...
