    1999 Dodge

    Dang! Impressive. That's more work than I would be willing to go through for an old Dakota, but you made it look brand new. Thanks for posting!

    Collinite 845 questions.

    I would also mention that proper lighting is extremely helpful in being able to see the product on the paint. When I've applied 845 to a red vehicle, I couldn't see anything on the paint except from a very specific angle with just the right reflection from my shop light. Tapping the pad on the...

    A small Christmas gift to a Forum member

    Kind of tough to see, but if I got one of the Autogeek banners I'd put it on that wall on the left side. Great idea btw!

    Headlight Lens Restoration: Bug Spray Trick Vs. DP’s AIO Vs. Meg’s Plastx

    I'm impressed with the DP product! I might look into getting some of that as I have some family cars that need headlight care. Glad to see someone testing the bug spray....a good example of when something goes viral, but doesn't actually do what it claims. Thanks!

    App update

    I don't mind it. For me it loads a lot faster than the previous version, which I like because I usually browse for just a few minutes at a time to see what's new.

    Nitrile Glove Smell

    I've used the 5 mil (I think) gloves from HF and though I do notice that they make you sweat a lot, I haven't noticed any smell...maybe only the thicker ones have that issue?

    Chemical guy odor remover work on clothes?

    I'm sure it would work...you probably just don't want to use the "stripper scent". =P

    Buying a used car - '09 Hyundai Sonata

    It's on the lot for 7k, but I'm positive I can get them down almost another thousand. Drove it and it feels good, mechanic said it's in great shape. No major issues. I'm going to consider it but will keep my options open. Thanks for the help guys!

    Buying a used car - '09 Hyundai Sonata

    It has been a very reliable car for her. We need to get something that will be good for us a few years down the road when we start thinking about kids and whatnot. The camry is going to need some work after not too long and we don't want to keep pouring money into a 94.

    Buying a used car - '09 Hyundai Sonata

    Yeah it is a ridiculous amount of miles for a 2009. I'm having a mechanic look it over today and that'll have a big bearing on what we decide. Not sure if I will be able to get the records. The dealer doesn't have them and I don't know how to get them otherwise.

    Buying a used car - '09 Hyundai Sonata

    My fiance is getting rid of her '94 Camry to step into a nicer, more reliable car. We're looking for a mid-size sedan with decent mileage that will last us for a while. My question is this - we found a 2009 Hyundai Sonata with a 2.4L 4 cylinder engine that is within our price range, but it has...

    Any Meg's wax worth trying?

    I used to use Meg's Gold Class, but have switched over to #845 for durability. I always liked the look of the Megs though...I do feel like it's worth trying for the price, and you get a good carnauba "glow" from it.

    Any Audiophiles Here?

    Golden ears? Maybe not. I might have bronze ears though. I've been putting aftermarket audio equipment in my cars for a long time though. I love having deep, rich, rattle free music during my drive time. It's a dream of mine to put a hi-fi audio equipment in my car someday but at this point, a...

    I got some 303 recently and it works good so far! Can't speak to longevity yet though.
