What kind of industry is the government? What do they produce in return for the revenue they do receive? What makes you think that giving them more revenue will at all go towards the deficit? History shows that government loves to spend money, and spend it they will do. Everyone wants...

People keep talking about bipartisanship as if it were a good thing. Horrible ideas stem from both sides, so one bad idea plus another bad idea does not equal one good idea. What about voting on principle? How about following the Constitution? The problem is, these politicians are just an...

My suggestion is to prep the paint properly and it won't matter whether you spend $15 on a bottle of Collinite 845 or $100+ on a boutique wax, it'll look the same either way. I'm of the opinion that there is very little (if any) discernible difference in looks and you won't find anyone that can...

I haven't used a lot of different trim restorers or dressings. I bought Ultima Tire and Trim Guard Plus (UTTG+) based on past reviews. Since then, people are talking a lot about CarPro DLux (I think is the name) and how well it darkens trim and lasts quite a while. You'll spend more for...

I'm curious, does anyone have any documentation from MF towel manufacturers on what they recommend? We often look to the manufacturer to tell us the best way to dillute certain chemicals, or for the best application of a certain product, but I can't say I've ever seen anything on what the...

It looks like either bird droppings, or some other acidic substance sat on the paint for too long and etched its way into the clear. All the individual cracks (crows feet) are too deep to completely fix, but could possibly be made to look a little bit better with a light polish. You might use...

Hi Belbo, You've asked a great question, and you'll get a whole range of responses. Some may suggest getting a polisher, but for what I'm assuming is a daily driver, driven by someone who isn't looking for a show car finish, save yourself some money and don't worry about the polisher. For...

I agree that it's the cold weather causing the streaking. For me, regardless of whether it's 30 or 90 degrees outside, I use the same method for rinseless washes. I wash first, using a grout sponge. I then take a soaking wet MF towel and wring as much water out of it as I can and go over the...

I wash mine on HOT or EXTRA HOT and then dry on LOW.

"Necessity is the Mother if all invention." Great job!

Why not let the owner of the vehicle have some say in the question? Educate them on the pros (removal of etching) and cons (reduced or possibly removed clear coat) and let them make that decision. They may say they're fine living with it and then you have zero risk. If they want it removed...

I'm a member of SVT Performance. Haven't been on there in several years, but I remember Treynor and never knew he was a big time Google exec. That's pretty funny, though!

The Journey is a crossover. Great job on this one, Richy!

My intention was not to draw a direct correlation between guns and cars or guns and toasters. My point is, taking guns away from law abiding citizens will not stop this type of mess in the future. I don't own any guns; heck, I've never even shot a gun in my 31 years of life, but I'm long past...

Why do people need a Cadillac Escalade when most likely, a Toyota Camry will due? Why do couples with no kids buy 5000 square foot homes with 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms when a 1 bedroom apartment should suffice? Why have a 4 slice toaster when all you ever toast are 2 pieces of bread? Your...

City workers, at their finest! Picture 4 appears to have some holograms at the nose of the hood, so if you haven't already bought yourself a machine polisher, now might be a great time to pick one up.

Okay, now back it up into the sun and take pictures!

Ban alcohol? As in, Prohibition? Most of us know how well that turned out. Americans yearn for Freedom; that's what this country was founded on. Removing those freedoms never sits well with us and always leads to senseless killing. Take the 'War on Drugs' for instance. Who is winning that...

$2 grout sponge from Lowes. Squeeze lightly like Chris mentions and use the weight of the sponge. Then I use a wrung out mf towel to quickly wipe up rinseless off the paint, then final wipe with a waffle weave drying towel.

I agree with this, 100%. Good post, Dr_Pain!
