    Uh-oh... Should I freak out?

    Hello everyone! So after a long Canadian hibernation (aka contactless-carwashes-that-do-a-craptastic-job-but-they-get-the-salt-off-at-least) I finally decided today to get my car back into shape. I started with washing the exterior, and what I found while drying it off scared me. It probably...

    Neighbors...

    My turn to vent a little... One of our neighbors is... something else... Six weeks ago he decided to re-pave his driveway. No big deal, it's gonna be done in a week at most, i tell myself. But not quite! After six weeks, it's still not even halfway done. He hired some "friends" and...

    Slickness durability

    Hi geeks. Three months ago i put WG DGPS on my car and was impressed by the slickness and beading. The beading is still very good after all that time, but the feeling of slickness is completely gone. Dry MFs and my skin feel grabby on the paint. Is it normal for the slick feeling to fade even...

    Quick question about ONR

    A quick forum search didn't yield an answer so i figured i'd ask. I was getting ready to wash my car with Optimum No-Rinse for the first time and when i mixed up 1oz with 2 gallons of water, as indicated, the solution still felt like plain water, not slippery or lubricating at all. I was under...

    Unscented interior care products?

    Hi all! I was wondering if there is such a thing as unscented interior care products, or at least products with scents that don't linger or are discreet. My car still has that new car smell, and i would hate to cover it up with coconut or bubble-gum or whatnot... Specifically im looking for a...

We have pretty harsh winters here and my one year old Kia Forte EX sedan (spicy red) looks like crap from all the salt, flying road abrasives and brushing snow off of it. As a...
