    I used to want a wax that lasted as long as possible, but usually ended up with one that didn`t last that long.



    Now I know which products give me 6 months protection and use them, but reapply every few weeks anyways.



    I used to want one product that did the job well in one application.



    Now I layer until there`s no tomorrow, and ponder layering different products in every conceivable fashion. BF over Zaino? Zaino over Klasse? Klasse over BF?

    Then I strip off 15 layers so I can try out some hot, new product which is more likely than not a bunch of marketing BS.



    I used to have staying warm as a priority during the winter.



    Now I wash the car when its cold out regardless of how numb my hands feel.



    I am so messed up.

    You know, you`re right. I`m glad you brought that up. It`s a reality check.

    the numbness is okay, it`s when you get back in and the hands hurt from all the warm blood rushing back in to them :down

    It`s impossible to hang around this board for long and not turn into an Autopian. Completely impossible, no kidding. In fact, today I needed to go pick up some vinyl/rubber protectant from Wal-Mart for the wheel wells, and just when I was about to grab the STP Son-of-a-Gun, I remembered its silicones and how the post a couple days back about how harmful silicone is. Not good enough for an Autopian`s wheel wells!! So I bought something else instead!

    I ended up giving away a lot of the products I had, and am going to go with Klasse AIO+SG only when the protection wears off (which hopefully isn`t for at least 6 months).

    I think that`s because you found great products that are so easy to use, and learned all the tips and techniques from this wonderful forum. Try using Zymol (the expensive ones that requires applying by fingers). You will NOT be looking forward to detail your car again.

    I made a video, let me know what you think?

    So I`ve always been interested in video editing, and I finally just got a laptop that can handle my HD footage for editing.


    I have had Adobe Premiere Elements 7, a video editing software, for a while now but with my Flip camera being HD, every time I tried to practice editing, the play back would be REALLY choppy and I couldn`t do squat with it. So now with my new laptop computer, it can process the HD footage and everything plays back smooth I got a chance to put this video together.

    Computer specs

    Sony VAIO VPCEF44FXBI

    2.5GHz AMD Turion II Dual-Core P560
    4GB (2x2G RAM
    640GB Hard Drive
    SuperMulti DVD Burner
    AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics
    17.3" LED Backlit Widescreen Display
    Integrated Webcam and Microphone
    802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi
    Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
    6.7 lb


    The camera that was used for the video was a FLIP HD Ultra, and I know a lot of you guys on here have this camera, it`s not to bad for $130 bucks. The FLIP does have a built in editing program but it doesn`t do everything that I was wanting for my video.

    Anyways here is the video, Any tips or suggestions on video editing are welcome. I`m still learning this new hobby.

    Hope you enjoy!:
