Just got a '10 volvo s40. How is the paint on the new ones? hard soft? anything i need to know? Thanks!

A 200cc Vespa GranTurismo! We got this yesterday at Ferrari Houston, right from the box. My mother wanted something to drive around town in that gets slightly better MPG than her H3. I own a Hayabusa, but I have to say its a pretty darn peppy little scooter! You feel very confident merging...

Well I finally got a gps unit, but heres a problem. The only good place I have to mount the unit, is on the windshield. My V1 is already on the dash, and thus there is no real good mounting spot left. I HAVE to use a sunshade here in Texas, but of course the gps gets in the way. Anyone...

Well I just tried my first ONR wash, but it scared me off. I tried both a grout sponge and a mitt. 1. How wet should my grout sponge be? Should it be soaking or not? 2. How often should I clean the media? A few times a panel for a simi-dirty car? 3.It really feels like I'm marring the...

Sadly this is not my car. It belongs to my buddy over the pond, Andy Gallacher. Very talented guy who helped me debug my 2.6 build. I just thought I would share his impressive work! The car is 4wd and runs 668 bhp and 464 ft/lbs at 33psi. mmm, carbon fiber!

I'm about to order my first BMW, a 335i Coupe, and I'm still undecided about paint color. I hear allot of negative comments about the jet black. What is the difference between jet black and the black sapphire metallic? Whats the main difference as far as looks go as well as upkeep? Any...

In my last traditional wash before getting my ONR shipment tonight, I (Don't ask how) ended up using 8 oz of gold class in my foam gun instead of the 3-4 I should have. Is ultima tough enough to take strong soap? Or did I screw up my lsp?

In my quest to find the perfect car shampoo I've tried quite a few over the past months. I'd like to give a brief review on what I thought of them. They will be rated on a.) Lubrication b.) Foam gun foamification c.) Looks. This will be done on a scale of 1-5. All soaps are used at recommended...

MobileJay came over today for a wash/wax. I believe this is the 4th coat in 2 months. So far I've been very happy with ultima. [/IMG]

I've been on autotopia for a little while now and picked up a great deal of information (as well as credit card debt), but there’s one thing I can admit to really sucking at... drying. In my part of Texas we have HORRIBLE water. If it’s at anything over 80 (And it’s usually at 100...

I used my foamgun for the first time today. I used about 2 oz of dp xtreme foam and filled it with about 8 oz of water as to dp's instructions, making sure to give it a strong blast of water.. It ate through it pretty fast, and the foam didn't seem to stay put too long. Does the above procedure...

I'm going to be using detailers pride xtreme foam with my foammaster 2 and I want to know the best way to prevent marring. Is it ok to spread the foam over each section and then follow up with a mitt? Or should I use the two bucket method and just have the foam gun as a presoak? Thanks!

I need something to use for my plastic front wheel wells and I was thinking of purple power diluted to a 4:1. Would this be safe to use on my aluminum wheels at this dilution? I'm going to be spraying it with a mister on the wheel wells and I wont be spraying it on the wheels themselves, but I...

Just bought this one today. Had some bad swirling in the soft plastic trim parts. Used Poorboy's Professional Polish. And a final. Still needs to be washed (I was going to use sonus gloss) but 90-95% of the swirling was removed. I'll try to get some close up after pics, but as the...

Beautiful!

I tried my first poorboys product today in slick and wax soap. I usually use Sonus Gloss, and when I mixed the poorboys I was a bit surprised. Sonus feels almost like grease. VERY slippery. The poorboys didn't have any of that. It makes me question how well it lubricates a bit. I tried the...

My car got a good coat of collinite for winter and I have been amazed by its longevity, but I'm not sure if its the best thing for texas summers. My car sits outside 24/7 so I want something that will last in the heat and copious amounts of direct sunlight I get, but also stay strong for 3 or...

Anyone use poorboys Slick & Wax? Looking for a new wash and it looks pretty good. Would this be safe to use over a sealant like collinite?

I need a good brush to get my wheel wells, but it needs to be able to get into the small 3/4 inch gap my car has between the tire and fender, while still being able to reach all the way back in the wheel well. Anyone have a good recommendation? Thanks!
