    How do I prevent product drying, iron decon.

    All of the "iron-decon-products" commonly used on wheels (& "above") require a dwelling time of many minutes. But, we live in a LOW humidity desert clime. Products with a 15-20+ minute dwell time will dry on the paint/wheels, despite being inside the garage, shade, etc. No "diff" at night...

    Gonna buy new Sled. Need opinions on naturally-aspirated engines vs turbos

    I have been perusing 2017 coupes for a future purchase, but am undecided about choosing a naturally-aspirated V-6 or V-8, OR "going turbo" ...obviously what all "Euro Companies" want ALL of us to do? I also detest the eco start-stop function that comes onboard with all EU cars now. I have...

    Radar Detector power cord trashes stack

    My CTS-V has only slightly over 8,000 miles on it, and despite my careful handling/detailing, the super-shiny center stack continues to be marred by the coiled power cord from my radar detector.

    Barked 'er up in front. Solutions?

    Like an idiot, Negotiating a bad gravel/rocky driveway in the outback, I scraped up the lower plastic trim piece on one side of my 2012 Caddy CTS-V. The front lower trim piece is very visibly scraped/"wounded". The leading edge of the trim is abraded/"lightly shredded". This is more than a...

    BlackFire on new paint...When?

    I recently traded out rides. Left behind my sexy, wonderful, 2007 XK convertible Jag, and now have a stodgy 2012 CTS-V Caddie sedan parked in the garage bay. I always credited the amazing exterior appearance of my XK to Black Fire. Love most of the the older product line. I want to "Black...

    Hi....from the Ultra-Sun SW

    I am from the extremely-sunny, very-high UV portion of the SW. North TX, and southern NM are my haunts. And my/our vehicles mainly cruise TX, NM, AZ, and CO. We live a smidgeon over 4,000 feet in elevation. The sun in brutal here. We are blessed with wide vistas, fairly high mountains...
