Birthday present from my lovely wife :) 3000psi/2.7 GPM. I already ordered a foam lance. My cars have clear bras and hardbody on them. I have been using ONR up to this point, but want to use something to get nasty bugs and dirt off without rubbing them in. I've been eyeballing...

I am in Orange County NY. I need someone to run a few cables through the firewall and to the trunk area of my car for a laser jammer install. Anyone know anyone reasonable and qualified? Car is an Acura TL.

Anyone have any recommendations on how to store a car for about two months in Georgia (probably Atlanta)/Florida (Orlando)? I plan on driving down there, but need to catch an international flight to be away for two months. The first option would be some sort of airport parking...but I would...

I parked my car near a fire hydrant--apparently too close (10ft vs 15ft...no painted curb...I'll gladly pay the ticket...but what I walked up to was agrivating). The NYPD tow truck was trying to wedge my door open with a rubber wedge, while trying to hook the handle so they could release my...

Zaino claims you can use Z-CS over a carnauba. Optimum claims if you use OPS over a carnauba, it will dissolve the carnauba and push the carnauba to the top? Is it a solvent issue or a snake oil issue, or ???

Amazon.com: Presto Bucket Collapsible Bucket Blue: Home Improvement I happened on these on Amazon. Perfect for the trunk of the Boxster. Anyone try them? It seems like picking up a few gallons of distilled water at any store + these = easy ONR wash when on the road.

So I decided to trade the Ford Focus in on something a bit more fun. I started using Zaino in 1998/1999. It worked great. Their whole line is pretty good and there was a local distributor that would drop off my order of Z2, the brown prep stuff, Z6, the leather cleaner/conditioner, the car...

What kind of car cover would protect well against snow? I am looking at the Coverking stormproof and covercraft weather shield. The car stays parked for a week to two weeks at a time and I want to prevent (in addition to general weather) accumulations of snow sliding off and scratching the...

I want to have the front bumper/hood of my Focus resprayed. Nothing special...it is a focus after all... any ideas? NY/NJ Area (Palisades/Garden State Parkway -- I drive them all the time).

I see amazon has a coupon on their site for $20 off $99+ in the automotive section with things like gold class for ~$7 a gallon.

First, where are the good places to wash/get your car washed? I go between Orange County, NY and Passaic County, NJ. Second, I was rearended and my car was fixed at A to Z Autobody on Staten Island. Has anyone heard of them? I've never been in an accident in the ~200,000 miles I've...

I just picked up a black 2005 Focus. I am in NY. Back home I have a 7424 w/ an assortment of pades, MF towells, Zaino line, Klasse AIO/SG, and some other stuff. My question is should I try to use some of that stuff? I have limited space so the 7424 might now be worth it... Plus my access to...

I want to deep clean some carpets on my car (heh and my room) and I was looking at carpet extractors. Has anyone used a "rug doctor" on their car? Their site seems a bit difficult to understand how their system works in comparis to things like the Sensei. Basically they are designed to be...

I need new wiper blades, anyone have some good recommendations? Something that can handle a little grit without getting knicked up is a plus as this is for my winter beater.

I've picked up a new beater car, a 1991 subaru with 170k miles. The car is fairly straight and clean, but it hasn't been maintained by an autopian. The only rust I can find is the rear wiper... So I guess I'll repaint that or something... Any tips on restoring a car? I am going to try...

I have a titanium silver miata that is ready for its first waxing. . I am debating between a carnuba like Griot's best of show (they are local to me) and a synthetic like Zaino. With a silver car which will make my car look most like a mirror (like this picture? The more important question...
