Well, after owning my first BMW for about 10 days now (2008 328 XI) - I have quickly realized that I am going to need to do something to help keep brake dust at bay. In the past I have used 845 on most wheels but I'm thinking there has to be something more effective given the degree of break...

I read on the forum here awhile back that a few of you were using disposable window wipes that had no lint to them. I'd love to try something like this but for the life of my can't find any posts dealing with it. Sound familiar to anyone? I think they were from some sort of janitorial...

My '08 328XI has this "velour like" door jam trim that is just a huge magnet for lint & threads and such. Up until now, I've just been wiping it with my finger moving down the length of the trim to the bottom and then pulling off whatever I caught up. I'm thinking that there has to be a more...

I'm going to be giving the wife's BMW the "once over" prior to winter. It will most likely only a need a wash (obviously), a quick claying, a mild polish (Meg's 205) and a LSP. It's the LSP that I'd like some suggestions on. The official color according to BMW is Titanium Silver Metallic -...

Just picked up a '08 BMW 328 XI for the wife. I'm looking for something to clean the interior wood trim. I'm not certain if it's actual wood or not but the options list indicates it's "Woodgrain Interior Trim". It's in excellent condition with no scratches or scuffs. Anyway, the...

The flashlight isle at my local Home Depot this morning at 8 am. Seriously??

Got to admit, I like this one... Camaro Lust - YouTube

A great site to cringe too. Some classic time machines sitting out there rusting away... CarsinBarns.com

So I recently sold my '68 Camaro convertible that I had for about 15 years. Made a nice profit on it but it was still tough to let it go. Basically, the reason I sold it was to buy a new Camaro convertible SS/RS next Spring. But the more I have been thinking about it the more I'm not so...

I've been doing some car shopping on E Bay for awhile. Just sort of looking for now. Anyway, Every so often I notice certain dealerships on E Bay have absolutely incredible looking cars for sale. I mean the car just looks "over the top" in terms of the detail that was done. This is a...

This thread will give a little different spin to before and after pics.... Thursday night and most of the day Friday, I detailed my step-son's '97 Integra. Paint was very "flat" and had very little pop to it. Being that it was silver, I knew that the results would be limited, but I gave it...

Just picked up one of these on Craigslist for $50. Virtually brand new. Now the question is...what's the best cleaning solution I should use for general carpet cleaning??

I like to consider myself pretty mechanically inclined. I change my own oil, partially restored a '68 Camaro convertible, have installed a sound system or two and generally know my way around cars... But for the LIFE of me I can't figure out how to take off the wiper arms on my Step Son's...

I'll be working on a car this weekend ('97 Acura Integra) and I just realized that I am out of clay. Have some old stuff that I can use for wheels but that won't cut it for the paint. So last night I went to my local Wal-Mart and picked up the Meguiars Clay Bar Kit. It comes with a bottle of...

I found three styles of tape in my garage and I either never knew - or have forgotten - which is the "best" to use for taping prior to polishing. Any suggestions as to which one you guys would use? - 3M Masking tape for Production Painting #2020 (1") - 3M Scotch Blue Painters tape for...

Don't kill me if this painfully obvious :der: Do I really need to use bags in my shop vac??? I have been using mine without bags and it "seems" to work ok. Then again, maybe this is why I buy filters every month.

Just ordered some last night and I'm waiting for it to be delivered. - Has anyone used this product with any success in removing etched on water spots? - The description of the product says it can be used with a buffer. Should I stick with an LC white pad or could I use something more...

Is there some way to set your screen or adjust your preferences on teh forum so you don't see the "4 videos available" window and the ad from HD each and every time you view a post? Thanks.

How well does Optimum Hyper Compound work using a PC/Griots? I read about it on line and it looks like it's geared more towards rotary use than a PC. Does is work as well as 105 with a PC? More or less cut? I would usually use an orange LC pad for correction with 105. Would I do the...

Please tell me that someone has another option other than the $25 brushes from Daytona and EZ Detail. $30 bucks + with shipping is not my idea of an economical detailing tool ...and from the reviews I have read it's just a matter of time before they give out some how. Thanks!
