In a similar situation, apartment complex, new car..... Seriously, it's rare anyone's DD isn't outside most of the time, exposed to all the elements. If I had a mortgage (translated: "measure of death" ) noose I'd put around my neck again, it'd just mean a few hours each night in the garage...

A good carnauba smells good and feels good to use. The new sealants are amazing, but if you enjoy waxing, carnauba is a lot of fun. Years ago I used Mothers Cleaner Wax with Carnauba on my father-in-law's red Integra. He barely ever washed it, clearly never waxed it and the clearcoat was...

Ok good to hear. I prefer to do it all at once, but not THIS summer! :)

Hi, Just wondering given this sustained hot weather: would it hurt to wax a car in portions over time?

ZL1, no question. Order it tomorrow!

Just have to chime in and say, one thing I've learned over many years, mainly cleaning non-car things, is that the proper application of just plain water, with care and the right technique, is often one of the safest and best things to do. You'd be amazed how well this works; a lot of cleaners...

I remember The Great Switch-Off, as I'd call it, too. All the fun went right out of driving a car for over 20 years, with very few exceptions. "Economy" became the leitmotif and resulted in armies of boxy, unreliable, underpowered vehicles most of which were utterly soulless. The few attempts at...

Totally agree with that last post, but this is a fun thread, let's not let it get bogged down by politics, ugh. :) Mustang or Camaro, doesn't matter, they are both AMAZING cars if you've been around since the '60's. Really kind of magical what's possible now. I know people complain of the heft...

Man that's amazing. From your text description I thought we were going to see some funky scratched-up wreck. You really brought it back; that's a $500 job, easy.

When TV stopped being free (i.e. cable, many years ago)..... I just turned it off and never turned it back on. Will do the same when unlimited data turns into charge-per-MB data. Phone company text messaging costs are already criminally outrageous. People will soon find they're happier being...

Only problem with parking near light posts? Bird bombers.

As with many things, it's a question of balance. Experts here I'm sure are just trying to help, and perhaps on one side being over-optimistic about a do-it-yourselfer really being able to handle this correctly, or on the other, misinterpreting the extent of actual damage from afar. I'd go with...

Wisdom here. I just picked up a dark grey car as well, used to have dark green, kept the last one a long time. In the olden times, pre-microfiber and sealants and boutique waxes but post-single stage paint,.... Mother's Carnauba Wax with polishing in it (slight) was my erstwhile friend (on...

Sounds like someone should do a chemical analysis of that stuff/sap and then formulate a really tough paint sealant around it! (joking.... I think) ;)

Can anyone recommend the best way to deal with such "tar apocalypses"? I've seen or heard about this happening over the past few years. Worst case was a beautiful new orange Camaro that got into a road unmarked as newly tar-gravelled, the guy got it all over his car by the handful (literally...
