    Car covers

    I know a lot of people are against them, but my slk will be stored in a garage over the harsh Wisconsin winter. I was thinking putting a cover on the car would be ok since it will be inside and won't be flapping in the wind and wil protected it from dust and what not. So with that said what is...

    Mothers product for exhaust tips?

    I say mothers because I was going to do this tomorrow and it would be the easiest to get. What product would be the best for the tips? Billet or metal polish? I guess I don't know the difference. Also could these be used on my rims? Yes I'm a dumbass and don't know what they are made of...

    Can you compound or polish too much?

    Ok, I've gone completely crazy. I've gone from going through car washes and applying turtle wax to buying a pc7424, only washing by two buckets, and applying premium waxes. I've never used a da before, but I really really enjoy detailing my own cars. So much that I'll wax a vehicle every 3-4...
