    I just had my engine dressed by Ziebart. $49 but sometimes on sale for $29. Man what a difference, my motor & compartment didn`t look this good the day I took it off the lot new. Extremely pleased.

    I wanted to make my Cold Air Intake look like chrome. I don`t have a before pic (sorry), but it was very smooth, but dull.



    I used Mother`s Aluminum Polish and a buffer. It took about 3 hours to get this look.

    i used simple green on my friend`s celica and her engine bay was a little filthy. sprayed it down with simple green and covered the alternator and all electircal components. Left the simple green on there for about 5 minuts and brushed anything that I didnt want the water beating down on and then sprayed the rest. the engine bay looked like 100 times better. Now that I used her car as a test pigeon I will cover the MILLIONS of electrical components in my car and do the same.

    Hey Bill,



    With your last name, I can`t believe you`re not using "LusterLace." The stuff is fantastic.

    First thing your going to want to do is quit using a window cleaner. Use water instead :soldier:

    After you get the windshield wet, start wiping and don`t quit until the surface is 100% dry :sarge

    Make absolutely sure your window towels are free from any type of fabric softner Da Rules!

    Its also a good idea to leave your window/sunroof cracked so the interior can breath OMG!

    Follow these steps and this will help reduce your frustration with window cleaning :wizard:


    Trouble :-B

    Another suggestion. If you can, turn the car to face directly into the sun, so you will be able to see all the spots that need to be re touched. Try cleaning with a waffle weave towel, and polish with a dedicated glass towel.

    I love the waffle towels on glass.
    I hear voices in my mind and you’re worried that you’re the freak.
