For some reason, I suddenly have the urge to buy ONR (I reread some of the posts on ONR, did some more research). Maybe because it's freezing here in the Northeast, or maybe it's because I have some money Chinese New Year :) Where do you guys think I can get the best deal on ONR (or any of the...

The Ford Five Hundred is going to be changed to the well-known name Taurus. There are some upgrades: "Compared to the old Five Hundred, the new Taurus features a revised front end along the same lines of the Fusion and Edge. Also new to the 2008 model is a more powerful 3.5-liter V-6 engine...

Do you guys have any tips to wash a car that is loaded with salt? I'm using a conventional wash with Meguiars GC (no foam gun, unfortunately), 2 Ultra Plush Wash Mitt, and Northeast weather :) I'm currently working with 1x3 ft areas, but I'm still very afraid that I am causing marring when I go...

What products would you guys recommend for cleaning and protecting all-season rubber floormats? I was thinking of using Armor All tire foam, but I'm worried that the foam will leave a sticky or oily residue.

Other than the NXT tire cleaner which I bought at Big Lots, I also bought the Meguiars Quik Detail Pad for 2.99. The packaging says it's designed for use with QD's, and I immediately thought about using it with Aquawax. I always have problems with my MF's becoming mangled when I use it with...

Have any of you guys tired NXT tire cleaner? I searched, and found one review saying it wasn't as strong and as effective as other cleaners. I bought it because it was only 2.50 a can at Big Lots. What do you guys think of this product?

Many of you guys know that Big Lots sells many very cheap Meguiars products. I found a 20% off coupon. It works from 1/27 to 2/3. Don't miss out on it! Stock up on some detailing products :)

I've been doing tire rotations, and every time I can't find a good way to jack up the car safely in order to put in the jack stands. So here's my situation: I have a 2.25 ton floor jack that I can use to jack up the car. However, the reinforced area where the emergency jack is supposed to go...

I was reading Justin's post on his new tire regimen after finding that my Walmart finally stocked up on some Armor All foam. He mentioned that he uses it for engine bays as well. I was wondering whether I should use the tire foam before the degreaser (Simple Green) or after the degreaser...

Would it be smart to try to polish out scratches on a scratched CD? Usually unreadable CD's are caused by the scratches, and I was wondering whether cutting through the scratched layer would allow the CD/DVD to be played properly.

Many people on the forums use blowers to dry their cars. This prevents marring caused by possibly improper drying techniques and faulty MF or WW towels. I've always been using an Absorber followed up with a WW. But I've been looking to use my wet/dry vac and use it as a blower (you can connect...

I've heard many people sucking Seafoam through their brake booster lines to clear the carbon deposits. Is it okay to suck it in directly through the intake system? There's a part I can disconnect between the air filter and the intake, and I was wondering whether it would be okay to suck it...

I just received my Autogeek, and bought a backing plate by the name of "Auto Quip". I had thought that I was buying a Lake Country backing plate, but I was mistaken. Anyways, have there been any problems with this backing plate? Just wanna make sure.

Just got my order of pads from Autogeek today. Planning to start polishing using my PC for the first time when spring comes around, so I'm just trying to learn as much as I can first. I have one orange, one white, and one gray Lake Country pad. It seems that the orange pad is very stiff. I...

When I use a towel to apply my DG Aquawax, I usually fold it up. However, I find that with a folded towel, the towel doesn't keep it's form and doesn't follow my hand when I wipe back and forth. The folds and layers keep slipping against the next layers and the towel becomes all messed up (in...

I've always thought that the cooling system is a closed system. So, as long as coolant isn't leaking, the coolant level should stay the same throughout its use. However, my dad says that coolant is used, especially in the winter, because the heating system consumes and uses coolant. I don't...

We recently found that the Acura had been leaking coolant quite badly and found that a part of the coolant hose had slipped out of it's original secured position. Once out of the position, the hose was situated next to the belt, so the belt wore a hole in the coolant hose. What products do...

Do you guys find that putting multiple layers of AW helps prolong the durability? If so, is it significantly more durable? I've also heard that multiple layers of AW sometimes mutes the wet look of the paint. Is this true?
