    Have'nt seen the worst yet.

    I found this article on cnn.com. With the disaster in Louisianna and Mississippi it looks like gas is going to go higher and higher. Hybrid cars keep looking better and better. http://money.cnn.com/2005/08/31/news/gas_prices/index.htm?cnn=yes

    Water Stain

    My daughter and son are avid swimmers. My daughter is only 9 and she is going to Junoir Olympics in 2 weeks. She is unbelievable. But that is not what I am here to ask. I have a 2005 Toyota Tacoma with the TRD Sport Package. The seats look like they have a mesh type of cloth on them. See the...

    SSR 3, 2.5,2,1 or DACP

    I have a problem with a mark left by bird droppings. I can feel this spot in the paint. I am going to try and remove it with polishes, hopefully it will work.

    Bird Stuff problem

    I have a spot on my hood after a bird got it. It was only on there for a day and it really did some damage. What can I do to get it off. I have tried a few things, nothing too abrasive. Any help would be appreciated. Do you think that I am going to have to color sand?

    I hate my dealer!!!

    I took my Volvo in for service (oil change and stuff like that). I instructed them to not wash the car. I had to leave it over night due it being done late and I was not available. I was at work the next day and my wife went to pick it up with my mom. When she got there she went to the service...

    New Truck to detail!!!!

    I got tired of paying so much for gas here in California that I had to get rid of the Avalanche. The lift and the 4WD got me about 12mpg on a good day. I went out on Sunday night and picked this up. It is a 2005 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner with the TRD Sport package. It has a 4.0 V6 that puts out...

    SSR By Hand?

    I am seriously considering ordering some SSR 2,2.5, and 1. I am wondering if these can be applied by hand. I assume so, but I always see poeple applying them with a PC. I know I may not achieve the same results by hand, but I don't have a PC.

    Swiffer Duster

    Have any of you ever used this on the interior? I got one tha other day from my wife and I love the way it works. It can pick up any dust without leaving any lint. It also can bend to get into tight spaces. I think you can pick them up at the grocery store for not too much. I would post a link...

    Scratch Removal

    I have a scratch on the under part of the front spoiler in my car. It is underneath so it is hard to see, but it is still there. I want to get rid of it. I have heard that you can use touch up paint from the dealer and then wet sand afterwards. I have never accomplished this, but I figure since...

    Weekend Detailer?

    Is is possible to have a semi-successful business just detailing vehicles on the weekend? I have a full-time job during the week, so that is out of the question. I am not looking to make a living doing it, just to maily fuel my passion. I would not mind a little supplimental income either. Also...

    Volvo Paint

    I just purchased a Volvo S60. I have never owned a Euopean car before. I was curious if there are some differences in the paint from the American cars. It is dark grey and I want a swirl free, bright shine. I love to turn heads with a clean car. What are some good products for this? I don't have...
