    How To Fix These Tail Lights?

    Not really fix but perfect ... I used VHT Nightshades on them, and then I clearcoated them. The clearcoat was duplicolor clear acrylic enamel and had been sitting in my garage for a while in this heat ... so it looked like a layer of dust on my tail lights. I cleaned them off, tried polishing...

    Headliner Replacement

    Looking to gather opinions on this. My headliner is coming off more or less in my 03 mazda6. If I were to get it redone I read mobile detailers often do it for about 50 - 100 bucks. Or would you guys suggest taking it to a shop (not the dealer obviously rip off there)

    Rim / Caliber Painting

    My friend recently painted the calibers on his 96 mustang to red and rims to black. I have not taken a closer look, but from pictures his job looks solid. He asked if I would like the same done for my car, because my rims are rediculously beat up from previous owner. Worn down in parts, bit...

    Key FOBs Keep Dying

    I bought my 2003 Mazda6 in September. The car had 74k miles on it and the remote died about 3 weeks after I had the car. I recently got a new remote from ebay. Programmed it and it worked for about 2 weeks and now out of no where it broke again. I tried reprogramming both times with old and...

    Hey guys I have been sticking to using the heat and scraping away, however, this takes 10 - 15 minutes depending on how cold it is and how thick the frost is. Anyone use any sprays to cut through the frost?

    Mazda6 / Navigation Question

    For those who dont know, this is the interior of a 2003 Mazda6. If you notice the compartment that has the tv screen in it, that is not stock. So does anyone have any idea of how much that would cost me to put that in there? And what I could include? What is important for me is to have that...

    Sealing Door

    As some of you may have seen, I got my keys locked in my car and after a cop got them out the drivers side door does not lock the same way as it used to. The rubber does not press against the actual car 100%. Does anyone have any idea of what I could do to make the door go all the way back...

    Cleaning Inside of Windshield

    I need advice. Not to mention that it is quite uncomfortable to do it, but whenever I do it I still have smears left even when I use windshield cleaner. Could leaving the AC to blast on the window help while im cleaning it so it dries up faster?

    Locked Keys In Car

    Hey guys i was working on the car and accidentally locked the keys inside. All windows are up and doors are locked. The car is a 2003 Mazda6. The first locksmith I called gave me a quote of $150 dollars to unlock the car which sounds rediculous since I could go to a Mazda dealership and get a...

    Glue on Leather

    Hello everyone, I was attempting to glue a part of my cloth headliner back using super glue, which actually worked, I will have to see if it stays up. And I carelessly placed the glue tube on my armrest. A little of it leaked out and I wiped the majority of it as soon as I saw but a thin layer...

    Headliner Cloth Coming Off

    My headliner cloth is coming off near the back window right at the edges. I've heard that glues and adhesive solutions do not work in this situation so what should I do before it comes a problem?

    Tacking Floormats

    In the process of doing what I can for my used 03 Mazda6 the next thing on my list is to clean the floormats. On a scale of 1 - 5 of how dirty they are I would say a 4. Most of it looks like dirt that has set into it over time but who knows. So far I've got either soaking them in a bathtub...

    Brake Question - Not Exactly Detailing

    Although this is not a detailing question I loved the feedback I got in my other thread and thought I would run this by you guys. I recently bought a used 03 Mazda 6i. The car was taken good car of in terms of functionality not totally asthetics. When test driving the brakes made a VERY loud...

    Are These Rims Fixable?

    I bought a new car recently. The guy who had it before put custom rims on it and evidently took horrible care of them. I tried soap and water, aluminum wheel cleaner, sponging, scrubbing nothing has worked. Here are pictures: http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu314/ilb3/IMG_2198.jpg...
