Got some rust forming in the crease of the trunk lip on my e36 m3. From what I can see its not coming from the inside, but I could be wrong. Is there anything I can have done now to fix before it gets any worse? I'm not a body guy or anything, just hoping that I could get away with having...

Anyone know? I've been a big Blackfire user for few years on my cars and customer cars, and I saw they launched the 2012 products. I didn't notice any indication that the "new" BWFD had polycharger. I saw a post on AG that indicated that it hadn't been messed with, but another that said it...

So I decided to give Dr. Colorchip a try on my 98 arctic silver M3, and ordered a kit. Tonight I got a little time so I went over to Rasky's and I tried it out. The color match was excellent, but the application and removal wasn't nearly as easy as it appears to be in the demos. Obviously...

Rasky and I teamed up again for this job, a Mini Cooper S that was in decent shape but definitely in need of some help. It was a basic 1 step/protect but we wound up doing some extra decon and polishing steps to make it really pop and send it out the door in a manner that was satisfactory to...

These things are awesome, pretty much the best drying towel I've used. Their "normal" drying towels are great for the money, no doubt, but these Korean towels put them to shame. 25" x 36" Korean Waffle-Weave Drying Towel - Blue (1 pack) Normally $12.95 (which is still a great deal)...

New to me at least. I finally found a late model e36 M3 sedan with very low miles for a price I could live with down in Florida, so I bit and had it shipped. I knew it needed some suspension work (as in all the suspension I found out) and paid accordingly. I've got a fellow e36 enthusiast in...

Microfibertech.com has a new group buy going on for their 16x16 530gsm Ultra Plush towels. These are the big boys that have been reviewed very well by lots of people on here. Regular price is $29.90/10pk, group buy sale price is $19.95/10pk. 16"x16" Extra Plush Terry 530gsm Microfiber...

I talked to Ian from Microfibertech.com and he was very receptive to getting a group buy set up on their new 460gsm Korean made plush towels for us. These are very well made towels that are plush on both sides and extremely soft. They're 16x16, grey in color and have black silk edging. Retail...

So i've had very good luck with OPC @ 3:1 and Optimum Protectant plus to protect with customers cars (which usually have some pretty grungy seats) but I just got the ol lady a 2012 outback with black leather, and I'm really trying to decide what to start with (I've never had "brand new" leather...

These are really nice towels from what I remember so I ordered a couple packs of 10. I think they used to be called the "elite" towel or something like that. Need 46 more people to bite to honor the price I guess. 16"x16" Plush Terry 360gsm Microfiber Towel - Yellow (pack of 10)

I've used older versions of OCW in the past with no problems, but recently after trying out Duragloss Aquawax side by side with a sample of a (fairly I guess) recent version of OCW I swore off OCW because of the streaking issues I was seeing. I cleaned up the wife's accord again today since it...

I was in a far away land (Tenessee) with none of my gear, and I got approached about doing a couple cars on the fly for some friends of my parents. It didn't actually pan out (probably for the better) but I had started to run through the list of what I'd need to get to pull it off, where to get...

Had a 2006 BMW 325xi (or just i, can't remember) to do sort of a quick turnaround on today. I've had decent luck with 205 and an orange lc pad for one steps on softer paints, but needed something with a little more punch for this. The almighty RaskyR1 gave me some Menz 203 to try out and I was...

I re-upped on Optimum stuff a little while back and have started using the megs mf system and 205 a lot more now. I'd like to try some other stuff, possibly geared toward one steps or some other finishing polishes (for when 205 won't finish down well enough, etc). I'd like to try some menzerna...

So I recently decided to try Biokleen TLC to see if it performs any better than my old standby Folex. I noticed when mixing it that it does seem like it will foam. I've been basically brushing dry, vacuuming, wetting with Folex then extracting with the LGM and clean water. Is this the basic...

I picked up a gallon of 902 and a bottle of 951 aquawax a few weeks ago when I ran out of Optimum and hadn't gotten a chance to use it yet. My wife's Accord was trashed as usual and I had some free time this afternoon and decided to give it a go. Wow, 901/902 is some fantastic shampoo. Felt...

The owner of this 1996 Camaro Z28 SS was getting ready to put it up for sale and wanted to get a little gloss back on the old girl. The paint is ROUGH on this guy, not just scratches and swirls but there are some fairly large areas with paint flaking off on the bumpers. I also found 2 or 3...

I polish a fair amount of cars and get paid for alot of them, but I don't really consider myself a pro. I usually wind up helping out people I know, friends of friends, etc and making a few bucks in the process. Some jobs are bigger and I get to stash away a few hundred bucks but most of them...

My friend bought a new Pontiac G8 a year or so ago, and I detailed it when he took delivery then (major dealer installed holograms, buffer trails, DISO, you name it). It's been a while and its taken some fairly serious abuse from daily driving, tunnel washes to keep the salt off during the...

So I picked up a bottle of Sonax Paint Cleaner for something like $6 shipped off amazon the other day (why not for $6) and was planning on basically using it on doors jambs, underside of hoods, etc. I've been told its not really a true "paint cleaner" since it has carnuba in it, its more of a...
