    I actually filled up the Passat at $28.60 :down It was like 16.6 gallons. $1.81 is pretty high, hope it stabilizes soon.

    A nice car compliment

    So I was rinsing my car off in our waste-treatment bay at work on Friday and an electrician that is working on our plant asked me if that was my car. Then he told me how nice it was and asked me how old it was. Looking at my watch, I had realized I missed my car's b-day (oops) and my car had...

    bucket choices?

    Anyone have a double bucket and actually use it? Right now I just put supplies in it so I can lug them around. It works quite well. Is your bucket special, or is it your run of the mill cheapo discount store bucket?

    From the makers of how do you close your door...

    It's winter time, so I wonder how you clean your shoes before entering your car. Any unique methods? I definately use my snow brush to brush snow off my shoes, but what else do you do? On a side note, after I wash my car normally, I get in the car without touching the floor and drive...

    Is you car smooth after you wash it?

    I'm curious when you wash your car, how much do you go out of your way to make sure the paint's finished is as smooth as possible. For example, if you were to take your finger and run it over the lower panel of your car (disclaimer: this is hypothetical ;)). Aside from the chips, which you...

    Is your used wash mitt still white?

    I'm writing to call to attention that, yes, your wash mitt should be white. You might ask how? Here's some of the stuff that I incorporate into my car washing regimen: Most of the reason is because you shouldn't let your car get that dirty. Of course this is unavoidable in many...

    Klasse for thought

    So after many months (11 to be exact) of not re-Klassing and using no QD, but washing with Pinncle Bodywork Shampoo, I've come to some conclusions (hypotheses, more like it), but they are only limited to the circumstances to which I have applied to my car. 1) Klasse lasts a long time. A lot...

    the glove and the kleen kone

    I think the klean kone would be useful, but you have to get the glove first. That, I would probably shy away from, except for maybe the windows. They should make a mitt version ;) Anyone try it?

    Ok, time to duke it out. Cell phones and driving....

    It seems to be a touchy subject (well on yahoo message boards anyways). But how do you feel about laws prohibiting cell phones entirely (and/or hands free options only) or not at all. Just curious, Steve.

    Cleaner waxes a thing of the past?

    Hey Autopians. It's been awhile, time flies and you know how it goes. Anyway, haven't been back in a while and was wondering what people used for paint cleanser. Do people only Dawn/Clay for Z (and or with a swirl remover)? What do you use to remove SMR residue or clay residue or...

    Does anyone else practice vacuum dusting?

    Sometimes there is nothing better than just plain removing dust from every iota of your car. I take the little narrow vacuum attachment and suck up every speck of visible dust from everything: creases in the seats, crevices in dashes, air vents, and of course everything else. Of course...

    First Tire Tint now Paint Tint?

    At my autozone there's a whole line of Paint Tint. That's right aerosol cans that spray specks of colored, I guess, glitter on to your car in like 4 different colors. Hmmm, I always wanted dualtone paint color :xyxthumbs If you don't want to clean your car just spray color over it; it is...

    I am not a happy camper!

    For some reason there is water building up in one of my side markers on my car. So I unhooked it from the side and let it hang so that air could get into the back. Well this morning I drove to work without putting it back in! grrrrr:mad: I hate when I do stupid stuff like that. I had the...

    Old cars using Klasse pics, anyone?

    Someone asked me if anyone with older cars (pre-1990) use Klasse and have found success. Anyone have pics? Perhaps on a car that hasn't been babied, mile wise, since the day it was bought.

    Just curious about consistent K and PBS users and their thoughts on how K reacts towards it. If you are a consistent PBS user and don't have Klasse, I'm curious as to what you think of it too. Thanks, Steve Oh and btw if you haven't read the foam dispencer thread Now's the Time
