    Explain rail dust to me, please

    Alright I know what it is, and how to fix it, but what exactly causes it? Since moving up to an apt. for school, I've had to park about 100 feet away from a very active train track. The train itself does not need to slow down anywhere near where I am, so I know rail dust isn't caused by the...

    BAD rattlesnake bite!

    WARNING This is definitely not for the faint of heart, or those with a weak stomach. It is by no means disgusting or bad or any of that.. more like what you could see on one of those discovery channel surgery shows. I found it to be really interesting though, because..well the pictures will...

    The Reposessors

    Have any of you guys seen this show on the Discovery channel? It's about repo companies and the guys that go out and tow vehicles or even lockpick them. Some of it is pretty harsh though.. when they have to get the job done fast, they'll tow a car whichever way is convenient, even if it means...

    Replica Colt?

    So I've been wanting to get a replica Colt SAA for a while now, and I think I'm going to take the dive. I've been an avid fan of guns, although I would never need/use an actual firearm. I suppose I want a SAA mainly to learn some neat tricks. I've found what I want, but I'm crossed when it...

    Today's Detail - Dodge Stealth R/T

    Pretty impressive car with a very nice stock rumble at idle. It isn't a twin turbo, though. The exterior is in pretty bad shape and I have yet to purchase and master a rotary, so I just gave it a thorough wash and topped it with some Meguiar's Gold Class. A shame since the metallic green color...

    Today's Detail - BMW 540i

    This is a really well made car, even though I think it's a 97 or so, it's still light years ahead of most cars on the road now, and as you can see from the initial photo it isn't in bad shape. Worst areas were the interior carpet, mats, and engine bay. Exterior Clean wheels with NXT wash...

    Which would you rather have?

    It felt like time for a fun thread... Which of the following would you rather have for each number and why? None of these can be fixed, btw, so what you choose is stuck with you forever. :har: 1 a) thousands of small rock chips on the front of the vehicle b) severe sap all over the...

    Can hail leave small chips?

    I kept thinking I had tree sap on my windshield because everytime I drove into direct sunlight, I'd see lots of speckles all over the glass, but today I cleaned the outside of the windshield with full strength APC, claybar'ed, followed by IG, and then IG on the inside, and finally used...

    Explanation plz!

    I have always wondered why when I see a car ad on TV or in a magazine, there's usually an actual license plate on the rear of the car, but it's painted to blend in. Is there some sort of rule behind this? Why not just put on a factory vanity plate? :confused: BTW, everyone have a great...

    What's wrong with my wheelwells? :(

    :scared: They look fine if I dress 'em up, but is this normal? I did a good scrubbin today because my propel pads should come tomorrow so I can do my first PC detail. http://img296.echo.cx/img296/5272/16eu.jpg http://img296.echo.cx/img296/3200/23dn.jpg

    Technique?

    Sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't think of how to search it without having to sort through a jungle of irrelevant results. When you are polishing with a PC, do you lay the entire pad on the paint and polish, or do it from an angle? I remember watching Trucks, and the host...

    UPS employees?

    Anybody here work for UPS, any position? I applied at the beginning of this year and took the tour of the warehosue but I was unable to get the job because class conflicted with being able to do 5-10 each night. I'm thinking of applying again this fall because it seems like a great job with...

    Shipping wheels?

    I did a search, but it returned no relevant results... Can anyone detail the procedures for shipping a set of 16x7 wheels, about ~20lbs each? My main issue would be getting proper boxes...

    hammering out dents

    Hi all, I've got an '02 F150 and the other day my ma somehow backed into the rear quarter portion of my bed on the driver side. I managed to touch up the chips and polish out the scratches, but I'm still left with a oval-ish, 4" wide x 1" high dent in the body that is visible from certain...
