    Remote starter

    I want to get a remote starter so I can defrost the windows without going out and starting the car. Do I have to remember to leave the car in defrost mode every time I turn off the car in order for the remote to work? Does anyone have recommendations on a particular model and where to get it...

    Zaino and humidity

    I've been holding off on applying my first coat of Z1/Z5 because I'm waiting for the humidity to let up. Can anyone give me an idea of how low the humidity has to be in order for it to dry in one hour? How about two hours?

    Waiting for shampoo - need wash now

    I couldn't find any of the recommended shampoos in the Autopia book in my area. I ordered some shampoo and other stuff yesterday. We had a storm last and the new car I bought 3 days ago looks horrible. It will be several days before I get the shampoo - what can I do now? I feel like an idiot for...

    Car washing for apt. dweller

    I just got a new car and I'm determined to take better care of this one then the last one I had. After reading a lot of the great info here I'm starting to wondering if taking good care of my car will leave me enough time to earn the money for the payments. I can't wash the car where I live...
