Just wondering, why would you apply a booster to a freshly coated surface? I was under the impression that a booster is not needed until further down the road to revitalize the coating.

Suspension will have to be replaced, shocks only last 75,000 and none of the components have most likely been changed. Many people neglect their suspension as it is easy to not fix worn parts there. If you really want to know exactly what needs to be done to it take it to an auto shop and ask...

I keep a tiny sample size bottle of a waterless wash and a microfiber or two in the glove box for bird bombs or bugs or whatever else I may find on the car when I come out to it. When I take trips with the car I throw the whole spray bottle of waterless wash and a handful of microfibers in one...

Best shoes I have found for when there is a high probability they will get wet or for use as boat shoes or for river hikes is Teva's. The soles are very durable and they are made for the water so you can rest assured that any of the ones they make will suit your needs and they will last a very...

Waxes are a very subjective product when it comes to appearance. You want one with plenty of fill capacity to be able to fill in the swirls. While it is not a wax I like Poorboy's Black Hole Glaze for its filling ability. It is black in color like you are desiring but it is also glaze and needs...

+1 Your choices are to spend more time with the elbow grease or buy yourself a polisher to make correction much less time consuming and easier to achieve. A porter-cable or Griots Garage orbital polishers are great machines to get you started without breaking the bank after a recent vehicle...

I typically use a waterless once or twice a week just so I dont have to pull out the buckets but once a month. With many of these wash products having carnuba in them or some other form of a wax or LSP and with frequent, weekly, use of said products, do you really need an additional LSP in...

Some people would say cleaning it every other day (once a week plus 2 or 3 times in between) is a bit excessive but that is all personal opinion. You can clean it as often as you want and if you are using proper techniques you can keep it clean without swirling it. The real question to be...

The big surprise of the weekend for me was to find out that Indycars produce around 700 HP while the formula drift cars produce between 1000-1200 HP

Just got back from the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach and had a great time this year! Indycar, Indy Lights, ISMA Tudor United Sportscar Championship, Pirelli World Challenge, Formula Drift, and Stadium Super Trucks were all the different series racing here this weekend. Pirelli World...

Continue with the excellent environmental work!

Just making sure! When I bought one of my bikes a few years ago the dummy decided to put some type of dressing all over the tires right before I showed up to buy the bike, worse ride home ever! I never had so many "oh crap" moments riding before. I had to pull over and clean off the front just...

You need to go out to that bike immediately and scrub off whatever you put on those tires! You cannot put dressing on motorcycle tires as it makes the tires VERY slick and you will cause the rider to drop the bike again. No part of a motorcycle tire should ever see an type of dressing period...

This is what a clean chain should look like, clean and properly lubed.

Lol. The chicken strips comment was just for fun.:) Congrats on the bike though! He'll enjoy it a lot I'm sure Rear stands are a must though. Those two black spool looking things on the swingarm are used as a contact point for the rear stand in order to keep the bike level and raise the rear...

You NEVER put anything on the tires of a motorcycle, makes it extremely dangerous and slippery to ride till that all gets worn off! Scrub them clean and that's it

Cleaning the chain is very important and you must lube the chain once you clean it. Every biker has their preferred chain lube and cleaner but it must be lubed and cleaned regularly - every other gas tank or so. That chain is extremely dry and neglected looking so the owner may not even know...

A lot of it is razor dependent as well. One of my razors works great with Voskhod blades but those same blades are horrible in another razor.

I know Leeland West is the official supporter for the Porsche club for agreed value insurance but I have no experience with them. Curious as to what value you are wanting to insure your car at. 1996 SVT Cobra's are regularly selling around $10k and that includes convertable models with less...

I really don't understand why you won't just go next door and talk to them. No need to look up ordinances or notify the city or anything like that. Get legal ideas out of your head and go over and talk to them, be friendly, and do not go over there upset. There is absolutely no reason...
