  Someone backed into me a while back and I just want to focus on the white stuff in question from the photo below.  I assumed it was residual paint from the other car but it doesn't come off with acetone, clay bar, or buffing with an intense compound.  I can scratch it and it gets much whiter...

I'm very frustrated, I have a 2012 Camaro.  My dad backed into me 6 months ago and I got this same bumper fixed, then a couple of days ago some truck backed into me in the parking lot and drove off.  It's going to cost about $500 to fix and I guess because I just had this done coupled with the...

Had some body work done on my car and they did not tape around plastic trim or around lights. The result is lots of dried wax in between body panels, around lights/bezels, and on bumpy black plastic trim. I though about taking it back and making them fix it, but honestly if they don't have the...

My dad backed into my Camaro the other day. The bumper is plastic, so I'm pretty sure the only real fix is a replacement bumper. As you can see from the picture, some paint is missing, and there is a crease on the body also. The big issue here is my car is a black with metallic flakes. I had a...

I was driving down a 45mph road and the 18 wheeler well in front of me drove under a tree and knocked half the tree off of the trunk.  It all fell down in the middle of the road.  I wasn't that close, but someone was tailing me and there was a car next to me in the other lane.  It was either...

An apartment gate closed on me and bent the panel above the light. I think it's a metal panel, but maybe it's fiberglass... I'm not sure. If metal, can a PDR specialist help at all? Ignore below the light, that's just where the clear bra was ripped, and I haven't gotten around to cleaning up...

Not sure what to do about this one?

i started detailing my cars about 10 years ago. i always hated detailing, but the final result was worth it. washing the car was always a nuisance too, but worth the effort. now i've reached a point in my life where i just absolutely hate washing the car at all. i keep my car in fantastic...

it seems there is a leak of some sort in my apartment complex. i park in a garage which is nice, but when i leave and arrive home at work every day, i have to drive through quite a bit of water. i can go slowly, but the water also slings up on my car behind the tires. as you can imagine, this...

so my gf and i live in an apartment with a very small 2 car garage. we both have big cars and it is a little frightening parking sometimes. i bought this cardboard cylinder at lowes for $10 that is about 4' tall. i put it in the center of the garage near the door. we use it as a guide and...

i've let my car dry overnight after a wash and the taillights still stream out water on the first drive. i thought about using compressed air to push out the water but then thought maybe that the air would get too cold and cause damage to the plastic bumper? i looked also on lowes.com and...

it seems like stuff always get stuck in my pakshak MF towels and all i can do is try to pick the stuff out. washing doesn't always lift everything off. do you guy have the same problems and have any technique for removing things that get caught in the nap? just wondering at what point do you...

i'm having a hard time finding something to clean my vinyl and protect it. it gets dusty and attracts a lot of dust. what do you guys use?

i've had my car for 3 months now and it took someone on a camaro forum claiming i was full of crap in washing with a grout sponge without having swirls for me to finally go out and take some damn pics :tongue2: it looked good from the factory, so i just did a light correction of optimum spray...

i live in the city and next to our parking lot they are constructing a huge skyscraper. they have just laid the foundation and lots of rock/asphalt/cement trucks are coming and going. i have to drive slow where all the junk is on the road to my work, which isn't a huge hassle. but my bigger...
