    Anyone know anything about window tinting?

    I have owned my car just over 5 years now. I have always wanted to tint the windows but I have one concern. Will tint on the rear window damage the rear defogger strips? My dad (a long time mechanic) told me it would and to just not tint the back window but that's dumb to me. It just seems...

    Figures. (pad buyers remorse)

    So with the recent AG sale I bought a bunch of Hydro tech pads. I was going to go with the CCS but I read alot of comments about how well the HT work so I figured I'd try them. Seems like ever since I placed the order there have been several threads posted about problems with the HT's. Also...

    metal flake paint

    I have black metallic paint and I've always said, even when I first got it brand new, that it doesn't appear as black as regular black. Not saying that makes it fact but I agree with you. I think mine in some light looks to have a grayish tint.

    Purple Power Cleaner

    I also use it on the wheels and engine as well. I use it 50/50 on the wheels but I am considering going stronger. I wash my car enough though that it's still strong enough and I never let dirt/brake accumulate in the cracks/crevices. About 2 years ago I got an Olds Bravada as my winter...

    Polishing a vehicle in sections over a couple of days!

    Wouldn't you accumulate dirt/dust particles that will scratch/mar the paint when polishing though??

    I've had a few do it to me but not as many as I'd expect. I guess it's because I'm only in a "Grand Am on steroids" :rolleyes:

    Pad questions

    I used to have the regular 7424 and I used it once with an orange pad and Menzerna IP. This was in 2008. I no longer have it after a messy breakup where she claimed she didn't have it, yet I did not have it when I packed everything up. Last year I had an auto body specialist buff the car...

    Pad questions

    I received my new PC7424XP as a gift and the person ordering wasn't real knowledgable about this stuff so they bought the kit with the Pinnacle XMT cleaner and conditioner and the choose your own pads. The pads are 6.5 inch. I'm seeing alot of 6.5 hating on here. Are they really that bad? I...

    Absolutely *NO* drying towels were hurt in this thread!

    Love the car. I always wanted a WS6 until the new GTO came out in 2004 and I wanted that instead. I ended up buying an '06 in July of 2006 and though it probably wasnt the wisest financial move at the time, I managed and now it's paid off. Mine doesn't have 875 HP though lol.
