    OPC for interiors

    This is a great idea. I got the small sprayer of OPC and recently ordered 3x 16oz bottles with sprayers from Chemical Guys (a thread here suggested them as the ultimate sprayer). They screwed up the order and sent me 32oz bottles somehow. They apologized and reshipped the right bottles with...

    The Official: How to Adjust Your Mirrors Thread

    This is one of those topics you don't expect to turn into a religious war but this mirror setting has probably saved my ass at least a few dozen times. My wife is not yet convinced. Maybe I should "fix" the mirrors and pull the fuse.

    How do I remove CarPro PERL from interior glass?

    Small update. I used a little CeriGlass by hand on the car with less window spotting. It seemed to clear it up most of the way but there were still some faint spots. I still intend to get in there with a new razor blade and see if it's just sitting there waiting for me to peel it off.

    First detail 14yr old F150

    That's some excellent white paint shine. Curious what made you decide to detail it after all those years!

    Camera Help!

    If you're spending big money on a camera, consider you're buying into a brand of optics. Canon wins that battle by a mile over Sony.

    The Picky Airport Parker

    I would take the open air risk BUT I would make sure to park far far away from any trees, lamp posts, or structures. I have read a few places that many birds poop just before or just after takeoff to lighten their load before a flight. Consider that when parking. Anywhere birds can hang out...

    Would You Let Christmas Do Your Tires...

    It surprises me that in 2012 this is still news! Sure I'd let her do my tires. She's cute and inked.

    Spray Sealant vs OCW?

    I really liked the idea of using Opti-Seal as a base for OCW. You can reapply both at regular intervals without removing either one. Maybe reapply opti-seal every 2-3 months and OCW whenever you like. Weekly may even be too often.

    MF Towels: orange & Green vs. Gold Plush Jr

    That's weird. I never noticed the discrepancy. The Gold Plush Jr is noticably more dense than the green and orange, though the original thread referred to them as 300 gsm. I wonder if the gold I have IS 600 and the new ones are less?

    Handiest little picture viewer tool I've been using for years now...

    Haha I put the kibosh on the "search everywhere for everything" function and limit it to specific folders where I store relevant pictures. But one really great feature that picasa web albums does have that even you'd appreciate is the ability to edit part of the picture's URL to change the...

    How to expand the message box

    If you use Google Chrome (and maybe other browsers) there is a little corner resize tool on text entry boxes that allows you to drag the box to a larger size to suit your needs. It shows up down on the lower right in the quick reply box.

    Handiest little picture viewer tool I've been using for years now...

    I'm a big fan of Picasa along with Picasa Web Albums (aka now Google Plus Photos). You get a free computer program that handles many common editing needs (resizing, cropping, color, exposure, funky effects, etc) as well as UNLIMITED FREE online storage for photos 2048 pixels x 2048 pixels or...

    Looked at a low mileage Miata, very angry

    Miatas are just a small economy car with driven rear wheels and a ragtop. People treat them anywhere from beater to show car. I've got a 2001 and I've seen the whole range. One thing I wouldn't sweat on a miata is the mileage. They are mechanically solid cars with cheap repair parts and...

    Detailing Vehicle / Personal Vehicle

    Honda Element can literally be hosed out and has a lot of plastic trim that can stand up to more abuse than paint. Probably would also save some coin at the pump.

    Next time your shopping for a new car

    I know google maps now allows offline nav and cached maps, but I think at the time it may not have. In any case, the infotainment system with the nav is way cooler than without. It uses the screen to show a lot more than just navigation information. But mostly it was a guilty pleasure...
