That's a novel idea, but I don't think their employee inspector signing off on a form of my own would go very far. I do plan on video documenting the inspection which I will make sure is precise in its details. I thought of that, but didn't want something that could be so easily ripped off or...

Hello AGers, I'll soon be shipping two cars back from Hawaii to the mainland. I shipped my wife's car over here without issue a few years ago, but that is far from the norm. Typically, it is nothing but horror stories about the major marine shipper, or the other two smaller players. Cracked...

Just make sure the seal is intact. I had a plastic container of Chemical Guys Lava where the lid had a tiny hairline crack and it developed mold within two months.

AG carries at least 25 brands of compounds, polishes and cleaners. Research it (just keep browsing the forums), or not, then pick one. If you like blue bottles, find a blue bottled product and go with it. If you like the Broncos and Rockies, try the Prima line. In any case, continue with a...

If you don't want to wait for AG to carry CG's reformulation, you can always give Leatherique a try. After I ditched CG stuff, it's what I went with and am very happy with its results.

Before I found AG/DW/etc., I made the mistake of using a water blade - never again! Even cleaning it with alcohol before and after every use, it left its marks. I could never get Waffle Weave drying towels to work right for me, but have had great success with non-WW, drying-specific MF towels...

Salt-Away is also what my brothers and I used back in PA to combat the winter salt, and which I continue to use here in Hawaii. Ideally, drive to the self-serve car wash, pressure wash the underside to knock off the big stuff, spray on Salt-Away in a garden pump sprayer with wand, and rinse...

I'll support SwanicYouth on the Prima Infinity. It goes on smoothly, leaves a satin finish rather than high gloss shine, and a little, thin layer goes a long way. It doesn't sling and lasts several weeks. Ultima Tire and Trim Guard is also excellent, and in my experience was slightly easier...

What bugged me about the Ultima autospa MF applicator was that it linted at bit. I hated chasing those specks after with a lint-free MF towel. Not like you can wash and rinse them, which is why I was looking at other options. I think I'll order some of the new LC coating applicators. Figure...

I have no complaints about my 2010 Challenger R/T that is currently driven 75 miles daily. It is what it is - a muscle car cruiser. Some interior space and comfort? Check. Room for a big dog, or two friends for a night out, in the back? Check. Naturally aspirated V8 power for the street...

I'm just an amateur hobbyist, and not quite back home in the 'Burgh yet, but I'm in. It's always a good thing to have local contacts - helped my brothers when Jeeping at Rausch Creek.

Okay, so the blue microfiber(MF) applicator pad that came with my Ultima Paint Guard Plus was temporarily misplaced and is now destroyed (to someone who cares about their paint, that is). Knowing how picky everyone is over MF towels, anyone extremely picky on which MF applicator pads are wiped...

Ultima Tire and Trim Guard Plus for me on the trim. Simple, effective and durable. Tuf Shine cleaner and clearcoat is my choice for tires. So much so that I doubt I'll experiment with anything else. Couldn't believe how clean my tires looked after 500 miles and frequent rains! The best part...

Great detail, excellent write up, and superb photography. That "fence" shot is downright incredible. How'd you handle the body lines? Tape them off, or work up to but not over?

Furious Fuchsia pearlcoat was a one-year factory color in 2010 - only 998 R/Ts and 400 SRT8s were made in it. A darker 40th Anniversary color of 1970's HIP (High Impact Paint) option FM3 - Panther Pink on Dodges and Moulin Rouge on Plymouths. I can inquire at the dealer, but I think I'll...

Will FOX ever get their programming right? The SPEED Channel will be missed.

Tire to fender gap went from 3.25" to 1.25" - now the 20" wheels and 45 profile tires look right on the car. Watch out speed bumps, here I come!

Okay, so what is this!? Just put some lowering springs on the Challenger, and now I see this THING on the roof glaring at me. Paint smooth all around; doesn't catch on my nail; just a tiny, spidery, wrinkly star THING...
