Today my father and I ventured to a South Aussie Subaru Dealership to pick up his new WRC blue WRX STI. The cars in the showroom were well detailed with quite smooth paintwork but the cars on the lot outside were not so great. Most had wheel wells and plastics brown and looked like they had...

For years i've always had an interest in chemicals, both man made and natural and i recently came up with a brilliant product that makes chrome dazzling bright. It doesn't polish it, you still use a metal polish like AUTOSOL and wax the chrome but instead of using window cleaner to shine up the...
