    Furnace Filters

    What kind of filters are you guys putting into your furnace/ac return units? I've been buying the mid-range filters that usually cost $5-$8, but I've seen some 3M ones that go as high as $20. I'm curious to see if anyone has experienced a dramatic improvement from using a certain kind, as...

    Answer this question! If you can...

    I think some of you guys will get a kick out of this.. Alright, say you are on the East coast, maybe in Virgina. There is a road that goes straight West all the way to California; no turns, no curves, just straight. You are sitting in a car facing West on that road. It's summertime...

    "Cheap" gas v. Cheap gas

    I was watchin the ol' tele and saw a Shell commercial where they try to show how their fuel doesn't cause carbon deposits on valves because of their added cleaners, etc.. Now, I was under the assumption that gasoline was mostly standardized by formula so 87 octane in one place should more or...

    How effective can PDR be?

    Looking for some opinions from PDR pros or anyone with relevant knowledge... Long story short, I've got a dent on my passenger side fender. The dent is unfortunately on a body-line crease that accents the wheelwell. I talked to the local PDR guy--apparently there's only one that goes...

    Is my ONR spoiled?

    I think the pics speak for themselves.. I keep seeing ONR in this form everywhere else... It SEEMS to work okay, but this is the first time I've bought any rinseless wash. :nixweiss

    "Truck" license plates?

    I have only noticed this on Texas license plates so far, but it seems that trucks have a "truck" specific license plate. Is there a reason for this? Is it to deter people from just reusing old plates when they get a new car?

    I Can't Park

    I cannot make a left turn to park into a perpendicular (not angled) spot. Am I going to die?

    SILVERSTARS and night driving?

    Has anyone noticed that these bulbs don't seem to illuminate much in the rain? I'm pretty sure my stock bulbs allowed me to see the road stripes when I drove in the rain at night, but now it's like I don't even have my headlights on. :sadpace:

    New Tires! (Long read, go grab somethin to drink)

    I'm proud to say I'm the happy owner of a set of Kumho Road Venture HT tires on my Ford F-150. :spot It has been a bit of a struggle up until now, and I have learned a lot from the initial set of Goodyear Eagle GTII tires that really helped me realize what to look for when buying tires...

    Extremely dirty Pontiac Sunfire

    Well, today's detail was an adventure in grime removal. The interior of this car had several large Coca Cola stains that formed productive, expanding colonies by the time I got to 'em. The exterior was typical of a neglected daily driver, nothing too surprising. The emphasis of the detail was...

    What's your power source?

    I'm sort of standing on the fence in my decision to quit my current job and to do detailing within my metro area. The main issue I'm having is how will I power my PC/rotary/vacuum? I notice from many details here that the nearest power outlet is provided, but I feel like that is...

    Carnauba isn't cutting it.. Klasse time?

    I have noticed that lately my finish has been losing protection/slickness/beading within a relatively short time after detailing. My apartment complex has a few pines/evergreens here and there, but I avoid parking near them so sap isn't really the culprit AFAIK. I DO park near a dry cleaners at...
