    poorboys or pinnacle

    On silver, my vote goes to another coat of Wolfgang. And my jar of Souveran sits right next to it on the shelf. On black or some other dark color, a resounding vote for Souveran.

    new car... maybe?

    Not to sound silly, but you might want to look into Porsche. I have a 1983 944, daily driver. It's got almost 300,000 miles on it and I love it as much as the day it was new. As for service, the costs can be expensive, but in the past 10 years all I've had to do is oil, belts, and brake pads...

    Who Are You? Just for fun.

    Mike, I'm a provider at WAMC (Fort Bragg). One piece of advice regarding MEB's: be patient. They never go as quickly as you'd like and the outcome can't always be predicted. But know this, even if the MEB makes a desicion you don't like, it's not always final. A duty related disability still...

    So after a month at school, is Neo still crazy about his car? Hell yeah!!!

    Just make sure you get those love bugs off the paint ASAP as the "juice" will eat right through the paint in no time. My wife's parents live in Titusville (due east of Orlando) and the front of her Mom's car is littered with holes in the paint. It looks like someone was doing target practice...

    Look what I scored

    I'm curious, exactly how does a wax enhance light colored vehicles? How is it formulated different from, say, Souveran. I must say that I like the look of WG over Souveran on silver, so I know there is a difference. But when it comes to one Pinnacle vs. another, I do wonder. This is based on my...

    is it OK to use a quick detailer everyday?

    keeping in my that I never drive my car (fun one, that is) in the rain, I qd it EVERY time I drive it. As soon as I pull back into the garage, out comes the Pinnacle CM. No ifs, ands, or buts. And, I have NO swirls!!! Just make sure you use a good, clean MF and lots of product.

    Spots on windows visible with polarized sunglasses

    My experience is that your brain gets used to the spots/rainbows and that you eventually stop seeing them. It also seems to matter how sensitive your eyes/brain are to them. When I got my first polarized sunglasses, it seemed ALL car windshields were totally covered in rainbows, like gas on a...

    How long do you keep your car??

    I gotta say, how long you own a car is directly proportional to the quality of the car and how it is maintained. To illustrate, my daily driver is a 1983 Porsche 944. Bought it brand new off the showroom floor. It has almost 300,000 miles on it and all I've ever done to it is basically routine...

    Suede Seats

    I have suede seats in my Cobra (mustang). I found an excellent product(s) for both cleaning and protecting. It is Leather Master Nubuck Leather Cleaner and Nubuck Leather Protector. Note that Nubuck is another name for suede. The cleaner works wonders and the protector makes the seats as...

    Poll: Favorite Interior Protectant

    Gotta say, it is very close between Pinnacle and 303. I do go back and forth. Pinnacle has a great fragrance and seems to just edge out 303 in terms of protection. Seems to attract dust a little less as well. Costwise, 303 goes farther. So, I've settled with Pinnacle on the more visable surfaces...

    waxing show cars

    In my experience, WG is definitely the way to go. Layering really does deepen the gloss and adds richness to the finish. The color then dictates whether to top or not. For metallic silver - go for another coat of WG. For black, top with souveran. I have no experience with other colors. BTW, I...

    Deluxe Water Filter and Softener Kit

    I'll be waiting for your review with baited breath. I too have a well (at my home) and was thinking about this system instead of using city water. My concern is how quickly the filter will clog up using well water.
