    Carpet Floor Mats

    Not trying to get down to specific model-specific mats, but generally, who makes a good, LONG LASTING, thick-pile carpet floor mat? Are Lloyd Luxe mats any good?

    This week's fun racer to smother in vinyl

    Wrapped the hood, roof, and decklid in matte black. Also added the windshield banner and spoiler lettering and replaced the numbers. Removed all the "orton" logos as they failed. I tried to get the customer to do the entire car in matte black, but to no avail. Started as: Then to...

    Downsides of extra clear as i'm painting my project?

    There might be a few drawbacks to it that i'm unaware of, but I can't think of anything bad about shooting a few extra coats of clear when I go to paint my project. I'm going for ability to correct the paint for years to come as well as zero orange peel, both of which will require eating...

    Responsibility versus pleasure re: cars

    I have the Element, but want something fun again. I have the okay from my girlfriend to do so, which helps things. There's nothing wrong with my Element, but it's just not pleasurable. I'm still in school and will be continuing to my Master and possibly Doctorate degrees. At what point do I...

    I am trying to get a general perspective of the cost of having something gold plated. How is it priced normally? Per square cm?

    Does any body else have this condition?

    I say it's a condition merely because it's been called such by some friends of mine. I have this "condition" that makes me want a new car every ~6 months. I am 23 and currently own my fifteenth (15) vehicle. I have lost a combined minimum total of $50,000+ between them from depreciation to...

    Light stains in very detailed cloth

    I have a few very faint stains in my Element's tribal cloth: (not my picture) Is there an off the shelf product I can use, or would it be best to have an autopian use an extractor on it? Thanks!

    Silver Honda Element (only finished photos)

    Worked with Al (PaintPolisher) yesterday. This was my first experience using ONR and it seems great. After that, it was clayed, hit with Meg 80 and then sprayed with Optimum Spray Wax. Seems like a great combo. One thing worth mentioning: We couldn't find any swirls. We used three kinds of...

    Any Atlantans want to help polish my box?

    I used to be on detailcity and met up with a guy down in Alpharetta and polished my Mustang. Came out great and I learned a lot, but that was years ago. I now have a Honda Element and it's new(ish) and could need a good polish and seal as it hasn't had one yet. Anyone up for joining me somewhere...

    Did some quick detailing today

    First one is my mom's Taurus. It has to be one of the worst-kept cars I know of. We've had it for five years and it's NEVER been waxed. No I did not wax it today, for it would be wasting wax and time. When my PC comes, i'll be busy for a few days trying to get the swirls and light scratches out...
