    Help! Lost jewelry next to driver seat rail

    I dropped an empty gold money clip (shaped like a large paper clip) my wife gave me 25 years ago next to the driver seat of my 2011 CTS-V couple. It landed between the seat rail and the console and when I wedged my hand down there to get it, it "dropped" into a channel or hole next to the seat...

    Alcantra inserts on CTS-V Recaro seats

    I have a 2011 CTS-V coupe with Recaro seats, that are black leather around the edges with a yellowish alcantra insert on the back and seat cushion. The insert is dirty/stained in the area where my legs meet the front leather thigh support. I've used Leather Magic foam on it and it helped, but...

    Greatest present ever!

    My son told me that when he made the PGA Tour, he would buy me a Ferrari. He was about 18 at the time. After a successful college golf career (including qualifying for 2 US Amateur Championships), he turned pro and played the Hooters Tour. He "Monday qualified" 2 times for PGA events and...

    Pet peeve drivers!

    What activities of other drivers make you the maddest? For example, is it the first guy in a line of 25 cars at a red light, who accelerates to a 14 sec. 0-30 time when the light turns green, thereby insuring only about 3 cars behind him make the light? Or is it the guy in long line of cars...

    I've hung around here for years and am thinking about purchasing a 2011 CTS-V Coupe with the Recaro Ebony/Saffron seats.

    I'm confused now...Leather issues

    I have a 2005 Cadillac CTS-V that has 12,000 miles. The seats were like new a few thousand miles ago, but now the driver's seat is developing "wrinkles" at the front thigh area. I put Leatherique reconditioner and Pristine Clean on it and it appeared a little better for about a week, but...

    Following 106FF with a white pad

    If I'm able to get some slight holograms off my black 2005 Cadillac CTS-V by using 106FF with a white pad (using a 7336), should I follow that with 106FF on a gray pad before going with my LSP? Mike

    Cadillac SRX "chrome"

    Last night I bought my wife a new Cadillac SRX (black). In washing it off today, I noticed that the "chrome" trim on the top of each door had rusty specks on it, from having sat outside for the last few months. This surface seems to be an ABS "chrome" surface, and not a metal surface. What...

    Griot microfiber wash mitt

    I took a road trip in my 350Z this week and it got reasonably dirty (rained on, too). I decided to try the Griot Garage microfiber wash mitt I just received (you get 2 -- one orange and the other "ricer" lime green). They have microfiber "mop dreadlocks" hanging all around the mitt surface...

    Do you ever just default to retro?

    I've put just about everything on my 350Z in the last 2 1/2 years. After going back to straight Zaino a few months ago, I recently used some SSR 2.5 to remove some swirls. I followed that up with Wolfgang polish and LSP, just on one panel of the car. After washing it today, I covered the...

    Good air wrench?

    Any opinions as to a good (inexpensive?) air wrench just for removing and putting back on wheels? (maybe 80 lb.ft. of torque) Preferrably one that will work well with 4.2 CFM @ 90psi or 5.6 CFM @ 40psi. Thanks.

    Polishing wheel lips

    For those who have noncleared lips on their wheels, what is the preferred method of polishing them [assume they are in excellent condition with no curb rash]? Do you use a dremel or some sort of rotary device with a buffing pad? I've been using Mother's Aluminum and Mag polish by hand and...

    Great school; HOWEVER.........

    Went to a BMW Safety School Saturday. Excellent program and a lot of fun. HOWEVER, as part of the wet skid pad drills, a fire truck shot water from a fire hose as we drove around the pad, trying to experience oversteer and understeer. It misted rain the rest of the day. I got up Sunday...
