I'm prepping the Jaguar for Concours season. It was so cold and rainy this weekend that I couldn't work outside. So I pulled some interior parts, brought them inside, and worked on them. I took lots of pix and will post some comparisons elsewhere. But here's my biggest challenge at the moment...

Just got an e-mail from a friend, on the various uses of Coca-Cola. Included was this little tip: "To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola." With all that we go thru to avoid any scratches, can you...

I need to develop a shopping list, as I have finally found a Harley dealership that carries S100 products. It's going to be quite a drive (of course, there's nothing in this one-horse town.) So I hope to load up on everything I'll need in one trip during lunch today. Can you tell me if these...

Spring is here, and I'm getting ready for serious engine cleaning -- on the white '75 Jag XJ6C which is in pretty good shape, and on the '93 Benz and white '75 Jag which have never had Autopian-quality attention. I've done a fair bit of reading here about engine cleaners, but am curious to see...

I've been talking this spring about my quest for a nice glowing carnauba topper for the white Jag. But sorting thru some of my old pix last night, I came upon this one and ... well, darn, to me there's nothing cold or plastic-looking about the Z look here. I'd be interested in any of your...

In response to a couple of requests, I've posted a few additional pix of the coupe in my Autopia gallery for anybody who might be interested.

The more I get into Autopia, the more aware I become of the risk of scratching/micromarring/swirls. So ... I tend to use foam applicators for Zaino and carnauba toppers, and have not seen any marring. But now that I'm becoming a Gen-u-ine Autopian, I'm looking more critically at the foam...

First let me say I know there's lots of info in Autopia and David's guide about scratch/swirl removal. I've been reading for quite a while, and have spent much of today using the search engine, but so far I haven't been able to find my question addressed. What I'm seeking here is confirmation...

I've done my best to search Autopia, but as somebody else pointed out you can't search on "MF." So ... at the risk of asking a redundant question ... I've been using (and loving) my MF towels, washing and drying them as directed (separate from ALL other stuff, no fabric softener, etc.)...
