Since I no longer own a black car I want to change my SN. How do I go about doing that?

Due to an exhaust leak my gf's 95 corolla, it failed inspection so they couldn't test for emissions. They told her that the exhaust system has a hole in it(hope its not too big!). I was wondering if its ok to use one of those cold weld pastes they sell at auto stores for a temporary fix so...

I went to practice on my friends car. Only thing I have to practice on is getting the car moving without stalling in 1st gear. And the hardest for me right now is being on an incline with my left foot on clutch and right on brake. Then when I put my right foot on the gas the car will of...

I think I might have to get rid of my truck. Now I don't really want to but have to. The monthly payments of $600 a year are killing me:wall ! I mean I could pay for it but then I always feel broke. It is a $37k truck! I'm thinking of getting an lancer evo since its way cheaper and the...

Just got the last bottle at Pep boys too! Haven't tried it yet but will soon. Is this product acidic? I didn't see anything on the label that said it was or isn't acidic.

Well I got a chance go apply NXT to my black F150. Its hard to get a thin coat with this wax. I ended up applying too much because it was hard to buff off:( . The wax does give the paint a wet look and I like that. How do I apply it real thin? Do I have to put some pressure on the pad when...

Well I turned my garage into a gym so now I gotta detail the truck outside. I have a carport to install and wanted to know if any of you have one and your experiences with installing and maintaining it, securing it to the grass or concrete. Pics would help too!

I got a chance to use it for the first time yesterday. It was really easy to use and it was fun spraying tons of foam on the truck! I still got some questions about it. What procedure do you like to use when using it? Usually I'll have a rinse bucket, hand in mitt and foam gun in other hand...

Do you sort your mf towels before washing them? Like if you wash all your cheaper towels for dirtier jobs separately from washing your good(QDing, polishing, buffing) towels. Or do you just like to dump all your MF towels and do one wash cycle?

My Harley truck has this type of wheel. I wonder if they are clear coated. Also what polish should I use on it? Currently I am just using AIO on them but would like to try some chrome polishes on them. I have Mothers Mag/Aluminum polish and Mothers Billet polish that I haven't used yet...

I'm thinking of getting this: Sonus Pads It looks like the 7.5" advanced pads. Who's got it and how do you like it?

Looks like autopia store is sold out of these. Anywhere else I can get it for the lowest price?

What do you think? Is it a good one?

Planning to use #83 with an orange pad. I got a truck(F150 Supercrew and largest vehicle I ever detailed) and each panel is pretty big. So when working with DACP should I do the hood in 1/2's or 1/4's? What about the doors? Do them in 1/2's?

Got a lot of tar on the exhaust tips. I have some Tarminator. Should I just spray the tips and leave it there to soak and then wash off? Don't want to wipe it and risk scratching the chrome.
