    Really off-topic, but is there a decent alternative to AOL IM service (not software)?

    Thanks, but those don't have standalone apps on the computer. I did look at google hangouts chrome app, but it works kind of weird. i really like how Pidgin (or the old AOL IM sofware) is a small, simple, piece of software that loads on our computers.

    Really off-topic, but is there a decent alternative to AOL IM service (not software)?

    Is there a simple replacement service for AOL IM service? I don't need anything fancy/secure, just a simple way to IM with the wife on occasion... We use Pidgin software, and I thought AOL was just shutting down their software, I didn't realize the service was going away too (yes, I should...

    White 'haze' on my car

    A regular 2 bucket wash and KAIO seemed to do the trick! Thanks everybody.

    White 'haze' on my car

    I don't have much in my arsenal (and no equipment to do any 'real' work). An AIO by hand is the most aggressive I can do. Other than that, Power Clean is the next most aggressive.

    White 'haze' on my car

    Also, if it is a stain, would something like Optimum Power Clean possibly work? Or should I stick with an AIO b/c it probably needs the polishing effect? I don't want to try OPC without being able to properly wash it off, and I can't do that unless I go and turn my hoses on again. Which I...

    White 'haze' on my car

    Ugh. Thanks for the info (though of course not what I was hoping to hear). I do have some Klasse AIO so I'll give that a try. I hope/assume it'll work, given that my my finger is able to rub off this 'gunk'.

    White 'haze' on my car

    Here's what I mean. I tried again today with a waterless wash, and really scrubbed hard an inconspicuous spot and it did nothing. I tried claying as well which worked a little, but not perfect.

    White 'haze' on my car

    I'll post pics tomorrow (my phone was left inside earlier). Even using the ONR soaked MF and agitating basically as hard as I could, nothing happened. Only my finger worked for some reason.

    White 'haze' on my car

    I'm guessing it's road salt, but is there anything else that could be causing the white haze on the mid-to-lower half of my black car? Haven't done any detailing over the winter, just a couple of trips through the touchless to try and remove the salt/etc. before it sets in... Tried cleaning...

    Which auto fogger to use?

    Going back to this for a minute: 1Z Einszett Klima-Cleaner Air Conditioner Treatment, can anyone advise how to specifically use it in a 2014 Buick Enclave? I have the newer version of the Klima that goes directly into the blower behind the glovebox, but I can't figure out exactly how to do...

    Which auto fogger to use?

    Was thinking of trying this (1Z Einszett Klima-Cleaner Air Conditioner Treatment) as well. Any advice on how/what vent to apply it to on a 2014 Enclave? Just want to make sure I don't cause any damage to the computer or anything else for that matter... Thanks!

    Which auto fogger to use?

    Any thoughts/experience with Dakota Odor Bomb - Car odor bombs for smoke odor removal, pet odor removal and more for a clean, refreshing scent! or Clean Air Auto Interior Fogger would be much appreciated (or some other option). There's a general, slight funky smell to the car I just purchased...

    Looking for a used car, confused by Carfax

    Hi again. I found another potential vehicle, but my concern is that it's being sold by a 'generic' used car dealer. It's not CPO from Buick and it's not even CarMax 'guaranteed'. It's a 2014 with only 15k miles, so even if they hadn't been maintaining it they probably only missed 1 major...

    Looking for a used car, confused by Carfax

    I have another question on a potential car I found. This particular carfax shows 2 owners, but I can't tell if it's really due to a correction. Also, should I be concerned about a Fleet and or corporate? Maybe fleet not so good as that could be a car rental? This one shows a corporate lease...

    Looking for a used car, confused by Carfax

    Hi. I've been looking for a 2013 or 2014 Buick Enclave and have found several that I like from various CarMax locations near me. The price is a bit better than CPO from a Buick dealer, but many of the ones I've found had no service history in the Autocheck (provided by Carmax) or Carfax (which...

    Anybody here have an Infinity JX35 or QX60?

    Am very interested in purchasing a used 2013 JX or 2014 QX, but the reviews (KBB, Edmunds, Car & Driver, etc...) are not the great. In addition, I came across this website, http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchSafetyIssues, and if I put in a 2013 JX35 there are 5 recalls, 2 investigations...

    Detailers in my area

    Sorry if this is in the wrong topic, but I'm looking to find someone to do a good wash/clay/decontamination/etc... I'm near Bridgeport, CT and can either travel to the person or, preferably, have a mobile detailer come out. Any thoughts? Thanks!
