Thanks for the help! It's not as hopeless as I thought, I'll see what I can do.

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...

The only jerky i've ever tried was much like chewing on a piece of leather... i guess i haven't tried the good stuff lol

Wow that sucks. Maybe try a tar remover like the new CarPro TarX. If that doesnt help i dont know what else to suggest except a more aggressive compound, Menz PowerGloss with yellow pads would be my last resort.

I don't think a dead mouse would smell like coffee... lol

I for one would be scared to death to spray anything inside the car, for 2 reasons: 1- infiltrations in places you dont want it, it could damage electronics. 2- overspray on the interior glass, which you will have a hell of a time cleaning afterwards... And its not because youre spraying...

I'm pretty sure the top layer of clear coat does not have better UV absorbance. And as someone else pointed out, i think it's a "mistranslation". Let me attempt to explain... In spectrophotometry, absorbance is the property of a material to absorb a particular wavelength of light at a specific...

Haha! No but we can tell. Hiring a contractor always seems like a gamble. Even when you hire one with a good reputation you might end up with one bad worker who destroys what the team would usually do pretty well. If you want something done right you have to do it yourself. Unfortunatly thats...

We're usually on good terms, except when he starts one of his projects, we just keep quiet because it would ramp up fast... I'll do a bit of research.

Ya, we are pissed. But it's not the first time we've had to deal with weird stuff from him, and to be honest, we learned it's not worth it to confront him, it achieves nothing. And calling the authorities seem like the best way to make an enemy, and we don't want to find out what other horrors...

Wow... People have no respect, this is appalling. I hope you can fix it. Next time you have to leave your car for an extended period, keep your keys with you, and if you can't leave it there without keys, find some other place.

There's no point talking to him, he's just as clueless. When the guys go home at the end of the day, sometimes he comes out with a shovel and undoes some of the work because he doesn't agree with it... They argue a lot. And loud, sounds like spanish, which i don't understand... That's why i say...

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...

Just type 1 or 2 letters of the address in the bar and it will almost certainly display where you want to go if you go there frequently. It will also display a few of the top Google search results for those letters.

Chrome FTW. I even use it at work.

I thought this was going to be a thread about caring for black paint... lol

I'm not sure Opti-Coat would last much longer than Aquapel on the windshield given all the friction from the wipers. The best way to know is a test :P For me, Aquapel lasts for 6 months easily, as advertised. It is also completely different from RainX, Aquapel makes a covalent bond with the...

I'm almost tempted to post a thread about gay detailers and count the milliseconds before it gets closed. But i won't. All that counts is that my car is shiny. And not purple.

I wonder if he'll be able to maintain it once its actually his own property in 3 years. A 300k house isn't cheap even after the mortgage is paid (or in this case there was never a mortgage lol). Certain upscale communities around where i live can slap you monster fines if you dont keep your...
