I got back from my deployment and my trucks paint looks pretty beat up. Before I left I put on Jeff's werksatt but I guess even that wore off with the summer heat and sunshine.    I'm not 100% sure if this is just water etching,oxidation or the paint starting to give out, see the photos for...

Well its about that time of year again to remove all the grime and gunk from winter from the belly of the beasts and was wonder what everyone is using. I've been using dawn in my pressure washer and letting it soak and giving it a good scrub but was wondering if I'd be better off using simple...

My girlfriend just got a new, well used car, a 2006 Mazdaspeed 6, Black Cherry Mica, Overall the car is good condition, it just needs a good detail however, I do have a concern with it. Its was an Ohio car and it has definitely seen some salty winter roads. the under-body has rust on it nothing...

With winter fast approaching I am in need of snow tires. I got a second set of wheels now I need to wrap them with a kick arse snow tire. I will be putting on 215/45/17. Or maybe a 205, not all to sure yet, I've read you want a skinny snow tire in order to punch through the snow and get the...

I've seen a plethora (big word of the day:dance) of ONR threads of "its the best" or "this stuff sucks", I myself LOVE the stuff and have converted a few non-detail people to the stuff GO ME! So I'm sure its self explanatory BUT what would be a good scenario of when NOT to use ONR on your car?

Was at pep boy looking for some aqua pel and when I found it I discovered that is was only: $4.00! :drool: I bought them all and Im going to raid the rest of the pep boy around town. Its the PPG brand aqua pel but same thing so enjoy.

My grandma has a old mercedes 560sl and she keeps it in her barn, she never drives as my grandfater passed away about a year ago. MY parents have found that the barn mice have infested it and now the inside skinks of mouse pee, from what they say it smells like ammonia. My dad was wondering what...

I upgraded my rotors and pads a while back to the TSW Rotors and the Porterfield R4-s pads all around, and well I have chewed through my front pads (not fully but about 1/4 or less left. I enjoyed the pads but looking for something a bit more "aggressive" there was a few times where I had some...

Here is a short clip of me removing snow from my Mini. The car is coated with Zanio Z2 and I use optimum car wax as a booster about once a month. As you can see it was easy. Also in the clip I said it was about 2" of snow, it was closer to 4" and when I pushed the snow off in front of my car I...

OK, so I think I understand the whole concept of letting a engine warm up full if you can (drive 20 min) but I'm still kinda lost, so far I've gathered: 1. its less wear and tear on seals as the heat expands them and they contract when cold. 2. allows you oil to get to its correct viscosity...

I'm glad I left work when I did, it only got worse I think I drove through a tornado the base sirens were going off but my wife was freaking out so I had to get home. My lowered mini only sits 3"...

I stripped off my old wax last night (water/ispa mix) and put on 3 coats of Zanio Z2(silver car) I must say it went on easy and came off just as easy I let each coat sit for 15-20 min and then removed. I was impressed with it for the most part. I thought it was going to be alot smoother that it...
