    New car horror stories...

    Does anyone here have a "new-car horror" story? Mine, was with our new Passat. On the third day after purchasing our car, some idiot decided to back into it. Luckily, VWs have really good 5-mph bumpers, but still, there were a few chips and scratches in the paint. The scratches were taken...

    Attn: All recent-model Volkswagen and Audi owners…

    I just bought a new Passat as a daily-driver so I can detail one car and still not be stranded at home. :D However, the B-pillars are already covered in swirls! It’s a glossy, black surface… what should I use to get rid of them and keep them away? I haven’t washed the car yet...

    FSPSUPP-C review

    Okay sorry, this product isn’t part of the acronym list yet. But if you guessed Four Star PLATINUM Series Ultimate Paint Pre-Cleaner, then you're right. About a month ago, I was searching for a new paint cleanser. My goal was to find the mildest one out there that can still remove road...

    2007 Silverado "Trail Rash" correction by Immaculate Reflections

    I washed the Bimmer yesterday morning and finally had some time to take a few pictures. After 1 month, the 3 or so layers of SG are still holding up really well.

    Neatitems vs. Miracle

    I currently have a few original Miracle Towels. They are really plush and super absorbant, but not bulky in any way. I also heard Neatitems are very close in quality, but they are a lot cheaper. So the question: Which one should I get, considering the fact that I can get 10 Neatitems for $35...

    Proton Exora detail with ONR and other Optimum products.

    I just read Sal's response to Greg's Meguiar's vs. Zaino test, and I have a few questions for all you enthusiasts. What are some products that are loaded with "Silicone oil [that] is inexpensive, greasy, smeary, not durable, but shines?" I know that there is much more to a polish/wax than just...

    Some new parts

    After seeing numerous positive reviews on Pinnacle Paste Glaz, I just had to check it out. The test car was a friend’s gold 1986 Volvo 240. It has never been garaged or waxed, and has some bird etching, and “ferrous oxides.� For the prep, I washed the entire car with...

    Wheel restoration

    I have this old set of silver wheels (original '92 325i) and a friend of mine wants 'em. However, the cap that covers the bolts and lugs is yellow-ish and the rest of the wheel is fading. Even when scrubbed, the front wheels are still darker than the rears. Is there a way I can restore these...

    Paranormal Activity - I am never sleeping again

    My interior is getting dirty, and I was wondering if you guys (and girls) can recommend an affordable, economical, and powerful vacuum for the interior of our 3 Bimmers. I currently use some sort of a red Dirt Devil. Thanks in advance! BW

    2001 Ford Lightning , only has 544 miles!

    Can someone here rank some microfiber towels? I know that the original CMA Miracle Towels are the best, with the Neatitems being close. But I heard that the Top of the Line Imperial Miracle towels are just as good as the CMAs. And anyone try 3M Perfect-It detailing cloth? Thanks!
