Well, I think the title says it all. I'm currently looking for some new blades to try until I find the best one. Which ones have you guys liked the best and why?? *Note: I always replace the whole assembly, not just the rubber refill :bigups

Hey, I have never changed my own brake fluid before. Does it really require two people to bleed the brakes? Or is there a simple way to do it by yourself? And what about those bleeding machines. Anyone have experience with those? I want to replace my fluid with ATE Super Blue once spring...

The PT has been giving me some grief in the past month. About nine out of every ten times, it won't want to start. I took it to the dealer right when it started and they told me that everything(battery, alternator, starter) was fine. So I thought it was just a hiccup. But then it kept...

This is from a Jalopnik article: German scientists have been working on a number of different paint technologies that could appear on new vehicles within the next few decades. One of the most prominent is “chameleon� paint, which would change color to somewhat luminesce at dusk...

I wasn't sure where to post this thread, but I'll try here. Moderators, feel free to move this. I got this through an email. Some prince somewhere had Audi build him a special A8. Silver paint was too boring for him, so he had the body made out of SILVER!!! :shocked Real Silver! Talk...

I'm really excited about this model. It's supposed to be based on the next gen Opel Speedster, which is a sweet-handling little Euro car. And the MSRP will start around $20k. Gorgeous styling+Ecotec four banger+World-class handling+Low price tag=the first Saturn I've ever really wanted...

I just may have converted my neighbor to VM/s100. He was waxing his Durango when I grabbed my jar of s100 and VM and offered to do a panel for him. He was using some furniture wax from the 80s! :shocked Then he went on about how he used to work for a detail shop and they used this wax on every...

Do the comparisons. There's no difference. It's just relabled. This is news from a friend of a friend that works for Detailer's Pride. My jaw dropped when I heard this, and I will place my order now. :bigups *edit* I just posted this to verify the rumor. Hopefully this will inspire...

I'm thinking about installing a sub in the PT Cruiser. I already have Infinity Kappas all around with a midlevel Sony deck, and it sounds pretty awesome. My bedroom system also sounded good with two Infinity Alpha bookshelf speakers. However, when I added a Hsu Research sub to it, it totally...

I am looking at either the Goodyear Assurance Tripletreds or the Yokohama AVID TRZ in the size 205/55-16. I'm trying to get the best deal on these. Is there a trick or two to getting a deal? Sort of like car haggling for tires?? :lol Any help would be greatly appreciated! :work: (this is...

Okay. I finally got around to trying those new Detailer's Pride samples I had sitting around. Here's the samples I received: First, since I have a pic, I'll describe the Premium Surface Shield. It has a thin consistency(read:watery) and a very chemical smell. It went on really easily...

Well, now that I have my glass routine down, I'm wondering about your guys' opinions on vinyl care. I'm looking for people's weekly or biweekly routine with their dash and other interior vinyl and the products you use. Currently, I'm using Meguiars #40 Rubber and Vinyl Cleaner/Conditioner...

Well, I was frustrated with my chrome wheels. There was caked-on brake dust from my mother's neglect(while I was at school). I tried many things. I tried EO A2Z, diluted APC, full strength APC, clay....all with tons of agitation with some wheel brushes. I wasn't sure how to get them looking...

Now this is probably the bane of many detailers, but I'm really struggling with my interior glass. It seems that I've tried almost everything: lots of glass cleaners, mf, newspaper, paper towels. But I can never get it streak-free, and it drives me completely nuts when the sun hits it...

Hey guys, I will be taking my car to school with me in the fall, and it will sit outside 24/7. How can I best protect it, especially during our hard winters? It'll probably be driven about once/week. I was thinking about a car cover, but am so afraid of scratches and marring. But I also...

Hey, I was browsing the TOL site and came across their new "Black Velvet" carnauba. It's specially designed for black cars and the pic of that Saab looks darn good. Has anyone had the chance to try it yet? It also states that it does a good job of filling in minor imperfections like swirls...

Well, I haven't posted any pics of my car in a long time(I was at school without my car for eight months). This is my 02 PT Cruiser in Taupe Frost Metallic. It has 32k on its clock and I strive to keep it looking decent. It's my daily driver and it just went through its second harsh MI...

I remember when I used to dry cars with 100% cotton towels, and how easy it was. Can you guys recommend a great quality large WW drying towel at a reasonable price? And where could I get it? Also, I was interested to see some drying methods from people that have gone back to after trying a...

Hey guys, I just received my new Canon Powershot A510, and I just washed my mom's new Pilot. She's only had it a month! I love new paint to work on! It was a photo opportunity I couldn't resist.;) I detailed it last week, but I only now got my camera, so no "freshly waxed" pics. Sorry...

I found these at Meijers for $2.99 for two "giant" rolls. I used these with my new NXT glass cleaner on the Cruiser. In feel, these are barely different from regular paper towels. A little more clothlike would be accurate, but not a huge difference. Results: After cleaning my windows...
