Just reach in through the wheel and drag your finger across the face of the rotor (where it's shiny silver) from the inside to the outside edge and see if you feel a ridge right at the outside edge (where it looks rusty). It should feel flat all the way until your finger falls off the edge. If...

Did the garage that did the brake job cut the rotors? Is there a ridge at the outside edge of the rotor? If the rotors were not cut there could be a ridge and that ridge can cause squeaking.

Well I don't think I ever updated with what I ended up with. After the first serious fail I called Corey and he gave me some real good advice. So I decided to try again. I went over the whole car with Reflect and a white pad to get rid of all the streaks and smudges. Following Corey's advice I...

DP High Performance Glass Restorer removes etched water spots from auto glass and restores perfect clarity. Apply with a polisher or applicator for

I agree with Ryan....G2 is good stuff! Color match or just black and do the rotor hats while you are in there.

Yea other people were talking about the Flex and Rupes and what can actually be done with a DA and he just talked about wanting "more power". I wanted to reference AG and how much there is to learn here about DA's but I knew it was pointless...he's one of those who already knows everything. I...

I was just reading a thread in a car forum I am on and it started out about PPF and Opti-Coat then turned more into polishing. Well this guy started posting about wanting a rotary and I just thought it was funny. Here's what he said: Should I just get a rotary instead of an entry DA? All I read...

I used to work as a mechanic and I have mounted hundreds of tires and I can't remember one time that I damaged a wheel. If you are careful and attentive to what you are doing it really isn't that hard not to damage something. When I had my Honda I painted the barrels of my wheels and the paint...

Keep them coated and try one of these: Speed Master Wheel Brush Works great for me!

I've never used Flyby but used GTechniq G1 on my past 3 cars and with all of them I have noticed that when my windshield starts getting dirty (because it hasn't been cleaned in a couple of weeks) it doesn't sheet water as well. After a good cleaning it is back sheeting just like new. OP, you...

I had G1 on my tC which had more glass than paint and I was amazed at the results. After 2 years it was still going strong so when I got my 86 I put it on all it's glass and have been just as amazed. I have experienced absolutely zero wiper chatter but then again I have never turned my wipers...

It's only cool when you put them on a very scratched up car with missing lights! Your eyes are so busy admiring the tire/wheel setup you don't even notice they are mounted on a $100 car!

Oh I believe it, I see them on the road all the time and it just amazes me that some of them spent more on their car than their house. I think it's all about the badge for them, as long as it has a high dollar badge on it then it doesn't matter what the rest of the car looks like. Sorry I just...

And why does Toyota put Prius tires on the FR-S and BRZ, cars that are supposed to have such a great handling suspension? I guess because they aren't any faster than a Prius so they don't need better tires.

So you are saying that 1/2 degree of camber will cause a car to pull? I've never seen camber cause a pull, caster is what will cause a pull. The factory alignment specs for my car give a +/- factor of 3/4 degree camber. So I haven't seen anyone comment on changing the offset of wheels over the...
