Evening all, Long time since I've posted here! I have a crack in my dashboard, and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations in this area. I was checking out the 3M Leather & Vinyl Repair kit but I am not sure if that would work here. The crack is about 6 inches long and it's a straight...

Evening, geeks! Been on vacation since last Wednesday, and took on a mighty project. I re-dyed the leather on my steering wheel. On my old car, I simply covered it up. This time, the worn out 12:00 position needed something better - that and I couldn't stomach putting a cover on this car...

Received an e-mail the other day about a white whine spill in their trunk. Said it soaked into the back seat, and the car now smells of alcohol. From my knowledge, once it's soaked and dried their isn't much you can do about it. Is this true? My other thought was a polishing pad cleaner. It...

So, come spring time I want to delve into the touch up paint world. I've read Dr. Colorchip is a superior product, so I figured I go with that. However, my front bumper has a lot of road rash which leaves me questioning: Is it too late? My pictures aren't that good since I decided to take them...

Hello, everyone. I was on vacation this week, so I decided it was appropriate to finally polish this car. The victim? A 2004 Infiniti M45, 65k miles. Twilight Blue Pearl, a swirly, hologrammed mess. The previous (only) owner, took terrific care of this vehicle. Unfortunately, the dealer I got it...

Just bought a Blue 2004 Infiniti M45 a few weeks ago. Swirls, and holograms EVERYWHERE. I did a test spot on the hood, thought I made it out easy but as soon as I tried it on a larger scale, its failing me. The swirls are out, but I can't seem to get the hollys out. This is only my second...

Just picked up a 2004 Infiniti M45 two weeks ago. My vacation is two weeks away, so I need to get an idea of what I'll need. I'm used to my explorers ceramic rock hard clear, and I know japanese cars tend to be softer. So my question is, what's a great swirl remover for the paint? Has the DISO...

It's nearing the end for good ole' Clifford, the big red Ford Explorer. 180,000 miles done, many more to go (for someone else). 30,000 miles over 3 years done by myself. I've finally located a car I like, want, and must have! A new to me, 2004 Infiniti M45. Going to put a hold on it tomorrow...

Not exactly a detail, but something cool I wanted to show you all. A long bit ago, I re-covered my steering wheel with some new leather. The old was faded, cracked, sagging, and looked terrible. This has been the most painful 'repair' I've done on the car to date. I did this back in October...

Hey guys, I'm bored, and seeing as I couldn't find a thread about this already, figured I'd start one up. His name is Hashi (Pronounced Hah-she). He's a 7 and a half year old Siberian Husky that I rescued this past May, who loves to run around, then take nice long naps!

Had knee surgery yesterday... Out of work for a bit, cant do anything but be a couch potato and watch tv or go on my macbook... Somebody help!!! I'm going nuts :cry:

So, I'm having a little trouble coming up with a price for this job, it's a little different than what I'm used to but I'm confident I can get it done. This is a customer of mine from work who heard I detail, so she showed me her car... Its a accord coupe, and she needs to turn it back in from...

It's time to replace my headlight bulbs... I do it yearly, don't ask why but I do! Right now I have VisionX 55/65 watt. They aren't bright enough What I'm asking, what are the whitest and brightest for my god awful night eyes? Standard halogen. I know the silverstars are good but they are way...

Just cleaned this one up for a co-worker yesterday. She bought it 2 months ago, hasn't washed it since. Wanted to share it because this color has some awesome shine! Used Megs Ultimate Wax on the paint. Before Before Before After After After After After - She took this picture once...

Getting a promotion at work, means it's time to hang the keys on old Clifford, 2000 Ford Explorer. I can finally afford something nice, and new, or kind of new. I want some opinions, I've got it down to these: 2008 Saab 9-3 Aero 2011 Kia Optima EX I have some others in mind, but those are...

Did the inside of my friends car, he's leaving for the Navy and is getting rid of his car. Did it for free, so wasn't shooting for gold but it looks a lot better now! Used my steam cleaner, meguiars leather cleaner for the plastic (yes, it works well!), and A LOT of elbow grease. I ruined...

I'm going through my pictures and found a picture of my Explorer the first weekend I had it. Found it significant since I am looking for my second car. So, my question to you, is, what was your first car? Do you have a picture? Did you clean and wax it like you do now? First weekend home after...

It was only 19 degrees outside, my car has weathered two storms and looked terrible. Got out of class early today so what else would I do but wash it? Did I mention it snowed yesterday so there was still snow on the driveway? Yea, I'm crazy. Used left over Meguiars soap from forever ago, and...

Those are my top two next car choices (within budget, never mind what I REALLY want). Whats the clear coat and paint like on them. I'm especially curious about the Saab because the Lincoln is probably close to my Ford. Thanks, Mike

Have a 2000 Ford Explorer XLT, red paint. I'm the 3rd owner, college student so I need a cheap way to 'hide' this. The entire hood has road rash, but I'm not worried about that. There are these white lines, the size of a grain of rice, all over the car. Any way to fix this in an affordable...
