They ran an RX-8 at full throttle on a test track for 24 without any problems. Pretty impressive! http://media.ford.com/newsroom/feature_display.cfm?release=19107

My wife bought the last '04 at our local dealership this past Sat. The saleslady looked at me like I had 2 heads when I told her I didn't want them to "detail" it. "We owe it to you" "No, please..I will take it the way it is..." 1Z PP / White Pad on the already swirled hood and a few other...

Hey all, My wife's new (1996) Eclipse is going to be delivered soon and I was wondering what I can do about some white "fold marks" in the convertible top. Is there anything that is going to be able to get these marks out? Also, I assume the paint is going to need some polishing. Does...

I am really liking 1Z MP. It has lightened the color of my Dark Blue Metallic Avalanche. Areas of direct sunglight / edges are definately lighter. Previous wax was VM. VM looked wetter but 1Z MP looks deeper / richer. Just a matter of preference I guess. The only issue I have with MP is...

It would have been nice if I wiped the chrome polish off the rear wheel center cap BEFORE I took these pics...Ah well. Pics are a little out of focus. I was playing with the manual focus on my camera and was using a small aperture in aperture priority mode, so my shutter speeds were a little...

Another quick wash-n-wax. QEW VM applied with PC

I know there is another thread already out there concerning this Ducky stuff, but it started out negative and is pretty old. I am going to start a new one. I bought some at my local motorcycle dealer when I went in for some Plexus. I tried in on some waterspots on my minivan when I got...

First time with an orbital buffer, first time with Vanilla Moose! It turned out pretty well, but I should have clayed it first. Ah well, next time. Not really a full featured detail, but a nice wash n wax. Color is Dark Blue Metallic PC with grey pad / Vanilla Moose then Quick Shine 3M...

Hey all, just got my Monte Carlo back from the painters and I have some detailing / paint questions. 1. I have to put some decals back on the car (Monte Carlo decals). The painter put some wax on the car before I picked it up. I am assuming that I need to get the wax off of the areas where...

I am going to pick up that PC 7424 polisher but have never used one of these things before. I understand the polish, seal, wax steps that I am going to use but have a question about the removal of the products. After polishing, will there be a residue on the paint? If so, what should be...

Since I'm such a newb, I was wondering if anyone has put together a glossary for all the abbreviated terms used on this website? Like AIG, UBB, PC...things like that?

Hey all, My 1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe will be done at the painters in about 2 weeks or so. It was painted with PPG in the original silver color but with a Sikkens violet pearl on top of that. (With clear on top of that). Does anyone know of a good wax/polish that would complement and...
