Someone decided they wanted my Civic more than I did. Took it right off the street in the whee hours of the night.... The funny thing, they stole my daily driver 92 honda civic with plenty of rust, and left the 2001 honda civic sitting there. More later... gotta fly..... :mad:

Hey gang, Is anyone familiar with this recall on 2001+ Civics for the headlights? I got the notice a few weeks ago and didn't pay that much attention.... basically something quits working and the headlights only work on high-beam...... well, guess what, my low beams quit working last...

Are you going to try for the first time in 2005? I am talking about everything from MF Towels (certain brand, perhaps) to the CA WaterBlade, to a PC/Rotary, to a carpet shampooer. For me, I want to try a Waffle Weave (mmm....waffles...ahhhhh) and a boars hair brush. You? :) :wavey

Today is said to be the last nice day of the season, before it gets cold and snowy next week sometime. I have already been preparing for winter the past few weeks, so I already had 3 coats of UPP on the car, put on over the course of a 3 day weekend (which was 2 weeks ago). So today I washed...

So I am out detailing the 2001 Civic when I decide to go in for a closer look at & behind the mudflaps (which are the molded plactic kind that comes stock on some Civics) when what do I notice??? The thing has been rubbing the paint away behind it and out of sight so RUST is forming...

Hey gang... This is my moms 2002 Pontiac Aztek...they are about the funniest looking things ever, but she loves it, and I gotta tell you, its about the EASIEST car to detail EVER! Flat panels and lots of vinyl. I did it as a bday present for her...it took me and my buddy about 3 hours...

Hey everyone..... I am a long, long time member of Autopia.org and I hear about this website quite a bit, so I figured "what the heck, why not spend 3 more hours a day on another detailing site!" I see quite a few familiar names on here....2001CivicEx, eschawb(sp), 6-fury...and on and on...

I haven't posted any pics in a while...gotta see if I remember how to do this. If they show up: 2001 Civic LX...Klasse AIO 1x followed by Wolfgang Sealant followed by AS Liquid Wax followed by Race Glaze Glosshighlighter (instant detail spray).

I was flipping thru the ads in the paper yesterday and Fleet Farm had a line of Gunk car care products which included a foaming glass cleaner, rim cleaner, tire shine, and carpet cleaner. Anyone try these? I am interested in the glass cleaner...I LOVE foaming glass cleaners for some reason...

Hey Kats & Kittens! I am taking on the task of replacing the CV Joints in my 92 Civic this weekend. SUPPOSABLY it is a 'easy' job, couple hours for both sides and nothing too complicated... Anyone have experience with this? What am I in for?!?!?! Should I pick up some tranny fluid in...

Hi! I dont know whats going on with my 1992 Civic LX, but there seems to be a wierd, plastic-y squeak coming from the passenger side of the engine. (all the belts are on the drivers side of the engine) When the engine is reved, it speeds up and seems to go away, but when it is sitting in the...

Good morning! I want to start layering sealant on the ol' exhaust tip on the 2001 Civic. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? It is a muffler/tip thingy (vocabulary fails me right now) and I am really only looking to seal the tip part of it. I was thinking of using AIO followed by a...

Anyone hear whether or not Toyota is actually going to release a new FJ40 in 2006? I WANT! I WANT! I WANT! Anyone have any info about this???

So last night it was getting kinda late...close to 9pm and I had one of the Civics parked in overflow parking for some reason (townhouse, we have a 1 car garage and a 1 car deep driveway) so I pulled the civic that was in the driveway into the empty garage and I walked down the street to get the...

So the freakin' Bonneville is becoming more of a headache than it is worth. $700 into it this week because the fuel systems went out...pump, and a couple other things. About 2 weeks ago I put $1200 into new struts, brakes, and sway bars...not to mention there is STILL something wrong with the...

I don't know what is going on, but I am getting a wierd film after touching up the Civic (indigo blue) with Platinum QD spray (forget what its called right now). Its not tooooo noticable, but an Autopian would surely be able to call it out. It looks like the combination of water spots and...

Oh my, this is VERY similar to a post I posted about 2 years ago.... So over the winter I brought the 1990 Bonneville (125k Miles if you are wondering) to the shop to get the front brakes replaced. Done and done, stopped fine, all is well....for about two months. Then the back brakes...

I know we have done posts like this before, but from reading the post about the Grand Prix forum (about not letting wax touch a $50,000 paint job..yada yada), I think we should post all the bad advice and myths that we have heard thru out our days in detailing... I have a few, but I gotta log...

So the other day I bought a new Chevy truck and I was so excited to show the family that I parked in front of the neighbors house and ran in to show everyone. Well, I came out and this guy had just started mowing his lawn and he got dust and grass clippings all over it. Well, I asked him...
