If its "other," tell me! :D

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...

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...

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...

http://www.deckowski.com/wax%20off/greatwaxoffintro.htm I know its not "up to Autopian standards," but hey, its different. And no one ever said there was only one way to do something. I'm interested in seeing the results... What about you?

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.

How many of you have experienced hazing with Klasse?

Just FYI, the wax test will be back, new and improved with Formula 113 and Blackfire in 2002. Check out the cool intro... http://www.thewaxtest.com

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...

Just decided to add a poll in addition to my current post on the "Off-Topic" forum. What do you think or removing badges from a car?

www.thewaxtest.com Much better now, very detailed in the Carnauba vs. Synthetic section. And reading the disclaimer site is very helpful too... "A wax that didn't work particularly well for us might work great for you. You should keep using that wax, because ultimately, you are satisfied with...

Since you two are pretty experienced with the Auto Int. "ABC" system, I was wondering if you can only use the "B" to remove ferrous metal deposits or as a clay replacement. Thanks... your comments will be appreciated! ~bw (Oh and welcome back Ron! Here is your little buddy you missed...

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...

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...

Well heres an interesting pic I took:

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...

I'm helping clean up one of my parents car, a 1995 Volvo 940, and I have a few questions you experts might solve. The first one is.... 1.) The front seats have sheepskin covers, and are getting a bit dirty, dusty, and worn. How would you recommend me to clean it? By liquid Tide detergent or a...

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

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!
