Ok, so maybe it's a little smaller than the rest of the stable. But it got a Pinnacle wax job nevertheless!

Used the Big Blue Towel for the first time. Was very impressed. It's waffle texture really soaked up the water by just pulling it across the surface. I could do the whole car almost without wringing. It's very soft and I expect it to get better after after washing.

Couldn't resist an obligitory reflection shot on such a nice day today!

<strong class='bbc'>I think I might just do it! I might just look for another project. But the Jag would have to go first. Here are the specifics:[/b] <strong class='bbc'>Crème with red leather interior. Chrome wire wheels. 4 speed with electronic overdrive.[/b] The car is a current...

For BMW 2002 owners this is a big year, a commemorative year for the most important model (BMW's words, not mine!) in the history of the marque. I am particularly honored that my car has been chosen to represent the model at Gateway Tech, a national annual BMW event being held in May. I...

The question has come up lately on what difference it makes to QD with Z6 after every wash and what difference it makes to use Z7 with every wash. Here are my findings: I must admit that I am not a big shampoo user. (No body odor jokes, guys!) Many shampoos are harsh. For my cars, which are...

Everyone has their favorite, most memorable vehicle. Mine is Betsey and this is her story: My buddy Dave and I did everything together. We were childhood friends. As long as I can remember his family had this VW camper. It always made me smile. They drove it every where. It went from St...

This was a fun car. My first Audi. A Coupe GT. It was quite a looker and pretty rare. I laugh at the gold wheels now but back then I was stylin'!

Among the many British cars I have owned quite a few have been TR's. Fun cars. Great sounding, torquey engines, especially the six cylinders. This is one of two identical TR-6's I had at the same time.

It had a pretty cool engine and a lot of nice wood in the interior.

This one is a 1966 S-Type. It had the same fully independant suspension as the E-Type, same engine, same brakes. It was a great car with the reputation of being a gangster car in British movies of the '60's. We too a National Championship in Jaguar Concour with it. We sold it sight unseen to a...

I did some minor surgery on my S4 this weekend. I fitted a BMW E46 M3 rear lip spoiler to the Audi. The spoiler is exactly the correct length but needed a little more curve pushed into it to look just right. It is flexible so it worked out easily. It adheres with 3M double stick tape just like...

For what it's worth, this review was submitted by someone on the NSX forum. Happy reading. http://www.nsxsc.com/nsexcitement/waxtest.html

Winter is here for many of us and the proper storage of detailing supplies is important. I am investigating many manufacturers recommendations for temperature tolerances of their products. The following is what the manufacturers rep for Zaino, I think he said his name was Sal, ;) suggested...

I use Eagle One Tire Swipes with my tire dressing all the time. (Zaino and Eagle One Concours Satin). My swipes seep to get all leaky and slimy after a few uses. So much so that I can't pick them up without getting the gunk all over my hands. Does anyone else experience this? If not, what is...

Looking for an excellent set of Kinesis Supercup RS 3-Piece modular wheels. 8X18(2) and 9.5x18(2) to fit the Porsche Boxster. Email me at bradb@autopia.cc

Most of you know I am a bit of a clean freak. Well, I have a selection of brooms, brushes, sponge mops and squeegees at my disposal for keeping the floor of my garage clean. But short of vacuuming I am never happy with the results. Now with the fall leaves endlessly blowing in, it was getting...

My wife called me from work today, she had to park the S4 in a "foreign" spot since someone grabbed her favorite location in a downtown parking garage. Upon coming out later she found large chunks of concrete and handfulls of smaller debris, dust, etc all over the roof of the car! It seems to...

Oops, I misplaced this post. Anyway...... As Footy said, I bought one for my Boxster and last week made one myself for my S4. Cost about $2. I simply bought some sheet rubber, cut a rectangle the size of the flap I wanted and then used a spraypaint cap as a guide and cut a circle in one end...

I spent the evening with a lot of nervous energy and butterflys in my stomach. The World Trade Center tragedy is hard to comprehend. I spent a couple hours out in the garage listening to the TV reports of the horrible event while fiddling with my cars just to keep myself busy. One the...
