    You're making my life difficult...

    UGH! I can't stand that! There are so many in my neighborhood in Philly--a couple of A5s, some 3-series Bimmers and an S4--all in black and NONE of them clean. In the rain I can see that they have mild protection on them, like a car wash from the summer where they paid an extra $4.95 for the...

    What are your brands of choice?

    I'm surprised it took so long to see a Poorboy's mention. I've always used Meguiar's OTC prior to AG, then I tried out one of the Poorboy's Dark Perfection sample kits on my Black '08 Accord. This weekend I just went through the whole kit again with a Meg's mild claybar to start and...

    how NOT to detail a car....VID

    That's not even poor judgement. Me thinks someone got under the wrong car wash's skin.

    How to remove tiny pinhole pits in glass windows using a rotary buffer

    Mike, have you ever used Rhodite? I noticed it's not in the store, so I wasn't sure if it's been tried or not. I've never personally used it but saw it on one of those weekend car shows.

    Any Lancia fans here?

    Yeahhh...not looking to buy another one, just for the parts. In fact, if you look at that link, I literally only need the front up to where it turns white again (the "hood", but the engine's in the back). So the bumper, grill, headlights and the black clip in front. Sweet looking car...

    Any Lancia fans here?

    So this is way off topic, but I was wondering if anyone in here is a Lancia fan. I've been looking for parts for a 1977 Lancia Scorpion (known as the Monte Carlo in Europe), specifically, the front, i.e., headlights, grill and the first 4" of the nose. I've scoured the Jersey yards to find...

    Happy Friday!!!

    Nah...I plan on watching it from the comfortable confines of a bar stool in front of a glass of beer (<-TBD). Collinite = #845 I stopped by my folks' place a week or two ago and hit all of their cars with it after a quick wash n' clay. It took me the entire day, so obviously, my car's just...

    Yellow road paint

    I always try to post to these kinds of questions if anything to somehow back into an answer one day. I had the yellow lines on my car (NJ roads, in case different paints are used) and nothing could move it. Then winter rolled along, and one day while kicking off a bunch of built up slush...

    Collinite #845: The Definitive How-To Guide For This Legendary Wax

    I found these in one of the chain auto stores near me for the same price... 12 oz. Mirror Glaze Dispenser Bottle It works great. It lets out a tiny amount and fits inside of a large glass, perfect for running under hot water in the kitchen sink. It holds just a little bit less than the...

    A little Fun SEMA Giveaway!

    ...is "Vegas Blue". According to The Chairman himself, it is only ever possible to see Vegas Blue at 6am on the strip, so plan accordingly. And a little Very Best Of The Reprise Years would round out the whole trip nicely!

    Regional Problems

    City issues year round...road grime, trees, parallel parkers, trash, etc. The winter is the worst though, just like it is everywhere else, but I'd be willing to bet that parking is much more of an issue. People will bring out whole dining room sets to save a spot or two in the snow.

    Free Meguiars products...

    Without a garage or hose I'm ok for new products...thank you for offering them to everyone though. I am in Philly however and would definitely be down with meeting up sometime. I think the last "local" one was way up in North Jersey and I couldn't make it.

    turtle wax " black box "

    You have to admit, there's a lot to learn about proper detailing of cars, and the level to which most people go on this forum is far and above what the average joe does. Plus, with so many products offered, it does take some time to get comfortable with what you're buying (I know it has been...

    Anything to keep my windows from fogging?

    Thank you! I was beginning to think people thought I was pulling their leg or something. I've never tried the dish soap though...TO THE BATHROOM!

    Anything to keep my windows from fogging?

    I used to keep a can of shaving cream in my Bronco for this very reason, but it must contain Menthol. Try it out on your bathroom mirror before your next shower.

    What would you do?

    What I'd want to do. What I'd have to do. No one said you wouldn't get a little Fuzion love for the troubles/honesty.

    New black car paint

    Yeah...the road rash on my car is brutal. It's kind of a pain because she'll never be more than a 5-footer without a respray. I've actually considered just buying a new bumper cover. Definitely going the right way with the clear bra on the car OP...just don't forget about wax building up...
