    Engine Detailing: Blackmagic 2-in-1 Smell

    I took a shortcut on Friday and used Blackmagic 2-in-1 Engine Degreaser and Shine to clean my engine bay. While it worked really well to clean my car's engine bay (but the shine is terrible, nothing like what CD2 does), it has left a terrible kerosene smell. It has been 4 days since I used...

    Farnam Company Rejuvenating Oil

    Has anyone had experience with this rejuvenating oil? I recently tried a decent amount of Leatherique rejuvenating oil (and then Prestine Clean) on my driver's seat to try and soften the leather which has become cardboard hard, and I had very good results so far. Since I borrowed the...

    Alternatives to a PC buffer?

    I've been wanting to bite the bullet and buy a quality PC random orbital... but can't bring myself to it since I would only rarely use it. Are there any other (cheaper) alternatives? Perhaps a Ryobi or a Coleman? Thanks!

    Best trim dye?

    The mud flaps and some trim on my car has discolored of the life of the car. I used Mother's Back to Black, but it's just a dressing. I have looked at Forever Black Bumper Dye, but havent't tried it yet. They claim it's a dye that lasts for 2 to 3 years. Does anyone have an suggestions?

    My Swedish Cruiser :D

    New member to the forum... This is my '95 Volvo 850 T5. I keep her nice and clean, with a weekly two hour-long wash (inside and out). These are old pics that I took when I still had my Sony Cybershot F707; since then I've been using a Canon EOS D30 with a few lenses. It may be...

    I've been reading many of the interesting threads here on the forum for a while now, but just recently decided to register to share some work I'm doing in my soon-to-be automotive/electronics garage. Glad to be here :cool:
