Went out tonight and snapped some pics. I haven't gone thru them all yet, but this one really jumped out at me.

We just got a new piece of equipment at work that I've been using and being the autopian that I am, I thought of a great non-work application for it. A lot of people have compared waxes, but they've all been (from what I've seen) very qualitative studies: apply 4 different waxes to the hood...

In the March 2003 issue of The Golf there's a how-to for de-locking a mk4 vw. One of the steps involves using a "non setting sealant" on the inner lock mechanism to prevent it from rotating. I've got to a few local home depot type stores but they just stare at me blankly when i ask them...

I went to almost every single Canadian Tire in town and could not find any MEguiar's extra on the shelf! not even an empty spot with a label! WtF? did CT stop carrying it? on a side note, one CT i went to had about a dozen bottles of Meguiar's #4 Heavy Cut Cleaner. :nixweiss

HI all I've got a small body part that I'm going to be painting using the OEM aeosol paint and clear coat cans. Can anyone give me some tips? The part comes pre-primered. I plan on sanding it a bit first (not sure what grit? 1000?) and degreasing it with simple green. After that...

What can I use besides the K&N brand cleaner to clean my filter? it's time for its spring cleaning

I treated my car to some TLC today. I got my CMA pads on Thursday evening before the long weekend. I bought my pc about a month ago. got a fresh supply of pakshak mf towels, some DACP and some #9. started out with a wash and clay. I applied 3 dime-sized drops of DACP to the yellow CMA...

I have an antena like this: I've tried a few different metal polishes and they leave a nice shine, but the metal looks like it's pitted. it has black spots all over it and it's very rough. Is there any way that i can get these spots out so that it will look good again? Should I use a...

I tried some upholstery cleaner in a can last night on some stains on the headliner (water stains, i think). It dried overnight and now the stains on the headliner are HUGE. :shocked :scared :scared What am I doing wrong? Am I going to have to get a new headliner? :(

Can someone help me figure out which 3M pads are equivalent to the CMA yellow and white pads? I tried searching for 3M and pad, but it won't search words less than 3 characters :rolleyes: Thanks

does anyone use the white foam pad that comes with the PC? if so, what do you use it for? I've got some CMA pads en route but in the meantime... :)

a securing strap came off of my leather steering wheel wrap. What's the best/strongest glue to re-attatch it? I think it came off originally because of heat build up in the car last summer :(

Has anyone ever tried these? I picked up a 16"x16" towel at a local autobody paint supply store (CMAX). $6 CND per towel (~$4 US), 70/30 blend, 90,000+ fibers per square inch. Has anyone had any experience with these? Buying these towels locally is hella cheaper than buying from the US.

I'm installing a rear sway bar tonight and need to drill two holes into a cross-member for mount supports. What should I use on the inside of the holes to seal the metal and protect against rust? Someone suggested tremclad, but using a spray can seems a bit awkward. Is there anything...

Did you get nailed for duties or taxes and stuff? I just ordered their PC pad kit and ($20 US to ship!!!!!!! :shocked :angry ) and want to know if i'm going to get a nasty surprise from customs.

I've got a good idea of how to detail a car with a clear coat. Is there anything that I should modify when detailing a car with no clear coat? The car has not been well maintained either. I clayed it before and was getting some paint coming off on hte clay (car is dark purple - '95 lumina)...

I'm going to be picking up a PC very soon. They're on sale locally at Canadian Tire for $200. that's about the same price that Coastaltools.com is selling it for after shipping charges and exchange (plus i get valuble CT money! free detailing supplies! :) ) since search is down i have a...
