ok so I picked up a 3SGTE to swap into my n/a MR2 but when we pulled it out it was so rusty since it had been sitting for 4 years. anybody have an idea of how to fix it? I was thinking sand it down and paint it. Or if I must pay for them to be powdercoated. and anybody have any ideas...

I was trying to find which place has the best prices for meguiars unigrit sandpaper 3000 grade. I live in upstate ny so hopefully a place that won't kill me on shipping either. Or if theres any other company that makes unigrit that is just as high quality but cheaper I'd like to get some of that...

Well the other day I was driving on the express way and a truck kicked up a block of wood either that or it fell of his truck and then kicked up but anyway it hit my hood and left huge scratches. Wonder if touch up paint will be able to fix this, it's way deep into the primer, needless to say i...

I'm torn I have a PC and I don't know what to buy! I need somehting that will give me the best results but also have a wide range of uses. Optimum only has a polish and a compound wich seems like it may lack in range of abrasiveness. I've heard mezerna PG and IP work better then the SSR's...

Well was talking to my friend and he agreed to buy me a rotary if I did his car. I've done his hood before with a PC and got his swirls real good but I don't want to spend hours on one part like I did last time. So I'm going to be stepping it up to a rotary. I was going to have him buy me the...

Well I did my car and my buddies car using a PC and Hi-Temps Levelers. I must say they are great. The thing that suprised me most was that I used their Heavy Cut Leveler on an orange pad, and I must say it left a finish ready for an LSP. No need for a pass with a lower abrasive polish...

I did my 91 Crimson Red MR2 and my buddies AWD Talon TSi This was my first PC experience and I'm sure if I made a couple more passes to really kill the swirls, but I am probably going to d othat next week Swirls on the hump Swirl remover on the hump Swirls on Hood No more...

After months and months of reading and question asking I finaly get to start the detail on my 1991 Toyota MR2 with Super Red Single Stage Paint. Here's what I finaly gave in and bought: - Porter Cable 7336SP - 6.5 Propel Pad Orange Heavy Cut - 6.5 Propel Pad Yellow Medium Cut - 6.5 Propel...

I was wondering what was the difference between the Hitemp light, medium, heavy cut levelers and the hitemp akrya levelers? Is it like akrya i shte proffesional line of hitempt products and the light, heavy, med levelers are the non pro line? I ask this because I recently bought the ligh...

I was wondering what kind of pad the stock white pad that the PC7336sp pad is used for? Is it like light polishing? or finishing? Compared to some pad set such as propel, I would think it would be equivalent to green?

I just ordered some Hi-Temp Polymer Sealent from topoftheline and went out and bought some megs #26 liquid from autozone the other day. I have a single stage red MR2, do you think this combo would work well layered together? I've heard megs #26 is great for reds adds depth and darkness. I...

I am under the impression that a sealent adds a shiny reflection and protectoin while a wax adds depth and darkness. I wanted to know because I was going to order some hi-temp products and I was wondering if I should get the polymer sealent since I already have some megs #26 at home. So I could...

Well, here is my problem I'm getting some pads and MF's from exceldetail and I have a 91 MR2 super red paint, it is a single stage paint. With single stage paints most of you know the color of the paint comes off onto the pad and the MF itself. I was wondering how all of you go about cleaning...

I wanted peoples opinions on Megs Gold Class Car Wash, I went to the autozone today and it cost me 7 bucks for a tiny little bottle 6 bucks!!! I was going to buy the megs deep crystal b/c it was 3 bucks for a huge bottle. Do you think gold class is worth the 7 bucks or should I just stick with...

Do autopians have a promotion code for excel detail? or does detailcity?
