    Got a new van. no really, I have it.

    Glad you got the six cyl. My 5.4 is a pita to work on. Weatherguard may give you some ideas about layout planning for your van's "red zone" and headache racks. Renny Doyle has a PDF doc on setup ideas as well.

    Considered Republic Wireless? WiFi at home and then it rolls onto Sprint when you're out and about. $23.45/mo Been with them a while and it's saved me $160/mo since switching.

    Spraying a small area to match Lexus pearl

    It's a tough call. Even going with option #1, you may not be happy with the outcome. It's probably 3 stage paint and as VAS mentioned it's hard to match. You wouldn't think that there'd be some much trouble with white, but it drives painters nuts because there are so many possible...

    Need help with 1979 trans am with lacquer paint

    You should be able to find a Meg's clay bar kit at most parts stores. Comes with one or two clay bars, quik Detailer, and a towel I think. That'll get you started and you could even try a little spot polishing by hand with applicator pads or MF towels before your order arrives. I think Meg's...

    Hammered Work Truck

    Mid 2000s Tahoe owned by a construction worker/farm owner. This particular creampuff has also seen duty as a kid hauler and shows it. It belongs to a friend and I really just wanted to do the work to see how my timing and order of operations worked out after a long winter nap. I was blowing...

    Mobile setup question

    I'm looking into setting up something similar, but I think that I may go ahead and get a sprayer tank that's set up for a pump just in case my needs switch from gravity feed to pump feed since the sprayer tanks already have a spot for it.

    Water Based Spray Dressing Questions

    I work around body shops and finally ended up going with TireNu from Malco. Digging through and trying to decipher what I could use from MSDS listings was growing tiresome.

    Limo Pricing Help! Quick!

    I saw one at the car wash not too long ago and the owner let me look inside. It had been out for a night and there were food wrappers and dirty foot spots around. It was an older limo, but that's an awful lot of paint, taping, and vacuuming. I can't imagine cleaning one in the heat.

    If clay works well, then it stands to reason that the NanoSkin pads could do the same. I'll have to give that a shot.....

    Interior Detailing????????

    In addition to whatever electronics might be harmed, what about the interior of the vehicle looking a lot like an undocumented flood car for insurance purposes? Those seat tracks are going to rust like crazy.
