Went to get cat food at Target today and, of course, wandered over to the car detailing aisle. I was looking for the EO All Wheel and Tire Cleaner and noticed it wasn't there, nor were any Eagle One products for that matter. Have they stopped carrying that brand? There wasn't any empty shelf...

So occasionally, I accidentally miss a shift and crunch a gear. It's rare, but it happens. I don't get the shifter all the way into second, for ex. I was wondering exactly how much damage this might do. Can anyone clue me in? Again, it's rare..in the three years I've owned my car, it's...

Has anyone typed out a message then clicked 'Submit' only to realize that you weren't logged on? The reply is then completely lost! What a wonderful feeling! It's no big deal if you just typed a line or two, but I just hammered out two fat paragraphs and don't have the energy or will to...

Are there any Lumines fans here? It's one of my favorite games for the PSP. Such a simple concept and so addictive. It should have been packaged with the PSP the way Tetris was with the GameBoy. Love the music, love the graphics, love the gameplay!

Read about this in the Times today. I think it's a nice idea conceptually. Just needs to be a little cheaper and include a quality QD. http://www.grumpy-girl.com/frames/ggframekit.htm

Here's a documentary about the 2003 Gumball 3000 from San Francisco to Miami. Kinda interesting.. http://www.dpccars.com/car-movies/08-16-06pageGumball3000.htm

So who else loves the Pakshak Micropak Ultra-Soft WW towel (the light blue one)? It's become one of my favorite towels. It's so wispy and light (and nice-looking, too). I bought it based off of SilverLexus' review in February...so thanks SilverLexus...

Well, I just bought my brother some darn expensive tuna for his birthday. I bought it based off a recommendation, although I had never had it myself. Just wanted to see if anyone in Autopia land has tried it before and what you thought. It's Ortiz ventresca tuna and costs $15 for a 4 oz...

With the right bonnet and wood polish, would a cyclo be safe to use on wood floors? Just curious if anyone has tried this. Thanks!

Does anyone have opinions on RimWax by Smartwax? Is it worth the $17 to get a wax specifically for wheels? Does it yield better results than using a regular sealant like SG, for example? I'm getting some other stuff from Top of the Line and wondered if I should add this to my cart...

I've heard that it's not good to wash mf towels used to clean glass with other mf towels used for buffing, qd'ing, etc. Is this true? How about mixing waffle weaves used for drying with towels used for buffing wax? I specifically recollect that people experienced problems drying with...

..and not the drinking kind. I'm talking IPA wipedown. I had some spotting yesterday on my hood because of it. The problem was fixed with some AIO, but still I've never seen this before. I didn't use a 50/50 mix of alcohol to water. Maybe this was the problem? I diluted the 70% IPA...

I know it's been playing for a while now, but I've never seen "Six Feet Under" (no HBO). My brother rarely watches any tv, but this is one show he absolutley loves. I just wanted to get some other people's opinions. I was thinking about renting it.

I have yet to use either of these products, but after reading more about the two sealants from Finish Kare's site, what's the advantage of using FX-100 instead of 185? Besides the obvious difference of FX-100 being in sprayable form, it seems that 185 is at least as good or, in fact, trumps 100...

I really like Griot's Car Wash. The only other shampoos I've used are Jeff's Werkstatt Auto Body Wash, Optimum, TOL Bubble Bath, Meg's Gold Class, and Z7. To me, Griot's is the best--excellent lubricity, great smell, plenty of suds, not at all harsh. Plus it's one of the cheapest shampoos...

I just received a sample bottle of Griot's Spray-On Wax with my car wash purchase and wanted to get opinions from people who have used it. It's described as a base wax enhancer to be applied after washing, so I don't think it's intended to be an lsp-type wax, like Mother's spray wax or Optimum...

Is there a significant difference in results when applying RMG by PC compared to applying by hand? The few pads I have I'd like to reserve for polishing, if possible. Thanks

May I please get some advice on the correct claying/AIO procedure? I already have a glaze, sealant, and multiple layers of wax on my car. I want to use clay, so should I clay with all this stuff already on my car then apply the AIO, or should I use AIO first, then clay. If it's the latter...

P21S Wheel Cleaner! The thing leaks like crazy, both at the collar and the sprayer exit-hole. I've spilled/lost quite a bit of product already and everything was secured as tightly as it could be. So if you have this wheel cleaner, you may want to transfer to another bottle or at least...

Dear Autopians, I wanted to put a second coat of NB on my car, but haven't yet had a chance. I'm giving a friend a ride home from work tomorrow, and so it would be nice if it were in tip-top shape. It could definitely use a QD'ing (it's been raining), but would this have adverse effects on...
