i have to disagree with the hot water remark. in the winter i use hot water cause common sense if i use cold my hands, the ground, and the car itself is going to freeze. thats a must do when at least hosing off salt/sand. and i think people dont wax their cars because they dont realize that...

awwwww!!! black pontiac, no pinstripes, with cragars, tooo f'ing cool man! that thing is gorgeous!!!

cadillacs had their own polish back in the day? now im REALLY impressed cause im an OLD SCHOOL cadillac fan!

its all trial and error. like taking supplements.

ya, just sucks that i paid $60 for it. i dont even think that touch up paint from the dealer thats prematched even costs that much. oh well. :-/

i like the vacuum lines on the carpets, very clever! though im LOVIN that transam in the back there.

ya i have to man, its too complicated with the liquid stuff and the pressure needed to take the excess off, its just such a pain. the chip is still there, its colored but still there and in my opinion if you can feel it with your finger then its not even 25% gone and if im going to rid any chips...

the paint came out excellent

that would seem like the right thing to do anyways is to mix the base with the clear heck even the hardner too so long as it stays capped it shouldnt go bad. as for dr. colorchip, i gave up on it. i even called their tech support line and i just cant get it right its just not working for me. i...

its for both. primarily daily driver but it looks like a show car. im just laid off from work and i want to keep busy. plus i just want them to look better all the holes and slots are clogged with crap so i wanted to clean them. i dont have to take the wheels off cause i have skinny 5 spokes so...

hi guys. i have drilled and slotted discs for my brakes. i tried using a pipe cleaner to get the crap out from each hole and score the built up stuff off the slots, but they keep bending. i was told one of those wire cleaners used to clean pistol barrels. whats everybody think?

i didnt know that until you explained it. thanks for setting the bar straight.

oooooooooooh ok so it DOESNT get rid of the chip, its still there, its getting rid of the primer mark. ok so then i am doing it right then. i thought it was just filling the chip, rubbing the excess paint away and the paint that was there just comes right up and the chip reappears. ok i was...

i didnt like the dr. colorchip system. and it sure as hell was not worth $60. im being told to go back to the traditional way with the capped brush or a toothpick and fill the chip cavity with the paint.

i remember my grandfather teaching me this on his car which then became my car (87 caprice classic which was in exc shape.) first use sand paper to get all the crap off the rubber strip. then use rubbing alcohol to thoroughly clean the rubber strip. and then optional for me was rain x on the...

thx for the article, very insightful. i mean its not like it bounces up and down it vibrates and doesnt have alot of torque and im just worried that the vibration will crack my hood, my spoiler or even the glass on my roof. i think i might go at it by hand just to be safe. i mean ya cant screw...

so i found my dad's old craftsman "polisher". its a 9-10" disk with a white styrofoam pad and he had some different colored terry cloth wraps in there. i remember seeing them frisbee away and i would be cracking up and i like velcro better. anyways, im not sure if i should use this only because...

i will try. i mean i dont need 100% of it gone i just want an improvement and the paint to pop. thx guys i will post pix on how everything went.

this is a light thats like 17" long (i think). either that or i can use one of them camping style spot lights i have that have that big square battery. i guess the only way for me to know is to take what i have and shine them to the car and if i see swirls then there it is... my dad was laughing...

so whats the difference between this and a high intensity light. i have my dads back when he was a cop and that thing is quite bright and he has the interchangable led lense.
