Hey all, The wifeys minivan it quickly approaching 90K on the clock. We were considering trading it in but, at this point I think we are going to put some money into and see if we can keep it a bit longer. One of the things that I want to do is put in a remanufactured motor. I have...

Ford has finally announced the 2005 Mustang. It is built on the Lincoln LS chassis and uses the 3 valve 4.6 similar to the F150. The power is up to 300hp for the GT. I didn't think I was going to like it but, I am very impressed with what they have done. Now if I can only convince the wife...

Hey all, I would like to treat my leather as it is starting to show some signs of wear as far as wrinkles. How does the cold affect the product? All of the instructions I have seen for it say the rejuvinator needs to be applied and then left to sit in the sun. They seem to imply that...

Hey all, Now that my 'Stang is out of warranty I am in the market for an OBDII scanner to read codes. There are so many on the market that I am looking for some opinions on the various models. Ultimately I want to get a Diablosport Predator but, they are not available for the GT yet...

To any Mustang enthusiasts out there. The latest pic of the "production" 05 Mustang GT. The body style is very similar to the current Mustang but with a retro touch to the front and rear. It rides on a variant of the Lincoln LS chassis and the GT will probably be powered by the same 3 valve...

Hey all, I am in the market for a 3 to 31/2 ton floor jack and 3 to 31/2 ton jack stands. I have been looking at Craftsman as I am a member of the Craftsman club and get a 10% discount. I am trying to stay under $200 for the floor jack and 4 jack stands. Anyone familiar with...

What do you all use to wash your pads and applicators? I usually just soaked them in a bucket with water and dawn and then either dryed them in the dryer or let them air dry. I recently tried to wash a couple of them in the washer with plain old original scent Tide. It has no fabric softeners or...

I have been seriously considering starting a mobile detailing business some time in the not so distant future. For now I want to get more experience detailing friends and families cars and get what training I can find along the way. One question that comes to mind right away is logistical...

Hello all, I did a search on aluminum oxidation but, the results didn't leave me with much encouragement. Is there a product or process that will remove the oxidation and keep it from coming back? I know I am probably asking for too much but any ideas would be greatly...

Hello all, Looks to be more people than usual complaining about Zaino lately. Leads me to a question I hope you all can help with. Seems to me the only advantage that Zaino has over Carnauba is longevity. The down side seems to be lots of added work such as 6-8 layers of Z5 to...

Hello all, The picture below is a very small area on my front bumper cover. The area is a vertical part of the bumper. It appears to me to be etching from bug splats that were not removed quickly enough. It is a 3 year old Florida car so bugs are present pretty much all year long. I...

Anyone use APC for this purpose? How well does it work? I have done a dawn wash but, I just don't think it has removed everything. I want to ensure the best possible base to start my Zaino applications. I am going to give it a try in the morning but, wanted to see if anyone out there has...

Hello all, I have been slowly working the paint on my car over the past week in preperation for my first shot at Zaino. Between the kids and job hunting I don't have the time to do it all in one shot and the car has been driven daily. I am careful to wash it each time before I get...

I have spent on and off the past week working on the paint on my car in preperation for my move to Zaino. Spent the past two nights with DACP and my PC going over every panel on the car. At first I thought it was coming along great but, just bought a dual head 1200 watt shop light and there...

Hello all, Getting ready to detail the 'Stang this weekend and am making some major changes in the products I have been using for years. I am finally switching from Carnauba to Polymers. I am going over to the dark side and switching to Zaino :) Anyway I was wondering what everyone...

Hello all, Just finished detailing my car this past weekend and thought I would share the results with you all. I had some clear coat damage on just about every body panel due to a tarp I used when trailering the car a month or so ago. After spending a few days trying...

Hey all, I just finished my routine of washing with Gold Class car wash, buffing using my PC with Meguiars Medallion PPC to remove normal dailer driver wear and tear, Meguiars #7 to hide anything I couldn't remove and finally topped it off with Meguiars #26. I am very happy with the results...
