Well, it has been a while since I have visited the site - a combination of life taking place and the web nazis at work blocking Autopia. :furious: Not much has changed since I last visited - just my transportation. On May 21st, My wife and I were going home after celebrating my little...

I was reading the forums on Meguiars online and came across a review for their Versa-Angle Wide Body Brush where somebody was asking about how they would remove all dirt particles from the brush. Well, evidently while the brush will fit into a 5 gallon bucket, it won't reach the Grit Gurad at...

I took this pic at my Grandmotherâ€â„¢s house after a 180 mile road trip and quick wipe down with S&W â€â€œ the bugs were horrible. As of now, the car has a base of AIO and two coats of WG sealant. The tires have three week old WG tire gel on them â€â€œ I love...

Shame on me for not posting pics earlier, I have had these on the car for about a month now. The wheels are 18" Flik Wasp-A with 225/40/18 Falken Azenis ST115. I have to say that these tires are IMO just plain awesome. Of course, the only thing I have to compare them to is the factory...

As I have mentioned before, I have recently inhereted a 1968 Mercedes 230S in need of some love. I have been looking on the internet for parts for the car, and have found a few sites that carry the basic mechanical parts, but I have yet to find anybody that provide me with body and interior...

I have been thinking about selling my car for a little while now. My wife has told me that as long as my car payment doesn't go up, she is cool with me getting another car. I have been seriously considering a 2000-ish Audi A6 2.7T with the six speed. I still haven't sold myself completely on the...

Well, my wife and I were driving home from a nice lunch at Texas Land and Cattle, when a girl about our age hits us with her Taurus. We were stopped at a light behind a BMW, and when the light turned green, he took off and BOOM, I am looking at the roof of my car for some reason. I get out of...

This is a picture of my wife's Jetta. The Driver's side rear door to be specific. Notice the Hologram Swirls that Caliber Collision so lovingly installed for me: Now, would 3M FI-II Machine polish and a polishing pad do the trick for these? They are very light, and unless the light...

A friend of mine has had his Maxima at Service King in Frisco to have the bumper repainted three times. The first two times the paint bubbled almost immediately after he had picked it up. No washing, nothing touching the paint between delivery and when the paint failed. The bumper is finally...

This has happened to a lady on a site I frequent, and we are better at making cars fast than we are at removing crazy crap like tire shine out of upholstery. Evidently she was driving home, and a bottle of tire shine spilled all over her back seat (cloth), and she needs advice on how to get...

For those of you that don't want to read the following, ServiceKing PDR = :up My wife and one of her friends were at ServiceKing having the bumper on her friend's car looked at because of some paint issues they had with the repaint ServiceKing did. The front desk lady said something to make...

Is there anybody here from Texas in the DFW area that does paintless dent repair? My car and my wife's car each got one hail dent in a storm a couple of weeks ago. I would take them to the dealer, but I have lost faith in their service department, and therefore do not want to do business with...

This happened to my friend the other day, and I got quite a laugh out of it. My friend's neighbor bought a new Chevy truck on Saturday and he brings it home to show to the family. Instead of parking his truck in front of his house, he parks in front of my friend's house while he is mowing...

I was wondering if I should use a paint cleaner before I start applying my Zain. I have Z1, Z2, Z5, and the Z18 clay bar(I am ordering the Z6 too). Would my best bet be to use the cleaner and then use the bar to get any areas I feel are still contaminated, or should I just use the clay bar...

I was wondering if anyone here mixes a small amount of wax in with your car wash soap? I found this on the Griot's Garage website, saying that mixing 1 part liquid wax to 3 parts soap will help maintain the waxed surface, and make the car easier to dry. I have tried this on my wife's truck...
