...I'm not really a car guy, what are your thoughts on the price on this one? 2004 Used Mercedes-Benz C-Class C240 at Auto Toy Store in West Berlin, NJ | Avanti - Vehicle Details It caught my eye and I'd love a Benz. What should I ask if I go see the dealer?

My car really needs polished, but I don't have a PC and live in an apartment with outdoor parking and no access to a plug near the car. Would anyone in Southern NJ like to trade products for some time on their PC? I'll buy the polish, you can keep the extra polish I don't use.

So I got home today and I had a UPS box on my porch. I opened it and it was from Duragloss. I had put a positive comment on their website for AW (which rocks). Well they sent me a "thank you" package of a Duragloss T-Shirt, and samples of Aquawax, Fast Clean & Shine, and Absorb-It, as well as...

Should I put 2 layers of Natty's Blue on, or is one OK? And if 2 is better, how long should I wait between applications? My problem is I have to park outside, so if I have to wait a day between layers, I'm afraid of dirt getting on the car and scratching it during application. Any thoughts?

I got a clay bar kit from Megs and it came with a sample of cleaner wax. I ONR'd my car and tried out the cleaner wax. It looks great, but my question is - is it OK to use as a standalone wax, or should it be topped with something? If so what works over it? Does DG AW work well over cleaner...

I just got my first shipment of AW and put some on after a nice ONR wash. I got my wife to help out, so it went quick. I just felt like I was missing something with AW. Just spray and wipe? Felt like I should be doing more work somehow. Anyway, it goes on real easy and smells great. I...

I just got my first shipment of AW today, so I plan on putting it to use tomorrow. If I wash with ONR, should I spray the AW before drying, or dry the ONR off, and then use the AW? Thanks!

I don't have access to a hose where I'm at, so I use ONR to wash (it rocks) If I use the TW Liquid Clay, is it necessary to rinse the stuff off afterwards? Would ONR suffice to rinse any residue off? Thanks in advance.

I just got a new chenille wash mitt and 3 MF towels for $4.50 at Big Lots. They also had some Meguiar's Tire Cleaner for $2. They didn't have too much more than Turtle Wax though. Anyone gotten any good buys at Big Lots? Is it a place that is worth it to check back every few weeks, or do...

50 Dollar Paint Please identify yourself!

Are there any products that you can hand polish with (without my arm falling off) or do pretty much all of you use the PC for polishing? I'd like to get rid of some swirls but my circumstances don't provide for a PC right now.

I live in a complex with no sources for water, so I'm forced to rely on either a pay n spray or tunnel wash. The pay n spray has huge signs up that say "No Bucket Washing" and I don't want to use the giant soapy brush they have. Are tunnel washes that bad? It seems like that's my only option...

Anyone have any opinions on this stuff? They've been running a ton of commercials and I wondered how it works. Also, has anyone used the liquid clay bar they put out?

I bet you thought Carnauba wax was just used to make your car look nice. It is also used to make Swedish Fish yummy!
