Hey guys, so I recently just put my 2013 Subaru STi away for storage and did not consider a car cover as I am nervous of anything touching the paint. But due to possible dust issues, I felt I needed to get a car cover. I went with the Covercraft Dustop Custom Fit cover (which claims to be the...

So I did my first detail w/AIO polish (Meg's D151) on a 2010 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson Edition, and wanted to discuss some of the results w/everyone.
