    Target's "Eco" Line

    There are a bunch of "eco" car care products now on clearance at Target. Seems as fast as they came on to the market, they went on clearance. :o They have soap, microfiber, and some other goodies. The microfibers say they are bamboo...feel soft like my sheets!

    Audio/Stereo Installer in CT (New Haven Area)

    Hey guys. I am going to pickup a DNX8120 when they are available from Kenwood, and since the price of the head is up there, I figure why not spend a little more and have it put in by a shop that really knows what they are doing. I feel comfortable installing it myself, however I guess the...

    Any of this good for a vehicle clearcoat? From a Gelcoat Kit

    My dad had ordered this, however he became frustrated with it (I think he needed a rotary) and simply gave the kit to me. The white pad I am pretty sure will be fine, however I am unsure of the other two. Anyone have an idea? He bought it from properautocare, and they describe the pads as...

    Paintless Dent Removal in CT

    I did a search for this, however it only brought me to a company in NJ, and one in Peekskill NY. While I don't mind driving a bit for quality work, I was hoping there was something a bit closer. I have a dent located in my drivers side rear door which looks like it came from a shopping...

    Hey guys. I am throwing this out there to see what people use. I used to use RainX washer fluid which worked great and left no residue on my roof or hood. I recently bought some cheaper :wall fluid from prestone that leaves this film and streaks all over the place. What type of washer...

    Hey Guys, I have recently moved to a location that has high iron and hard water. This results in spotting on areas of the car that I can not immediately dry, however they come out with some QD, just a pain to remove. Is ONR a good solution for this problem? I currently use megs GC wash.
