Ok, so my car is pretty quick now (quick enough for me, 13.4@103 - [email protected] corrected) Now I want do start doing some appearance mods. I already have light silver reflective "CAMARO" inlays on the rear of the car, and my 17x9 SS 10-spoke wheels are waiting to go on this week. I'm...

I'm about to kill someone. My SS 10-spoke wheels have centercaps with red bowtie decals, and one was faded bad, so I managed to completely take out the color with bug & tar remover, and now it appears as nothing is there, but you can sorta see the outline of the decal if you look at it in the...

What's your favorite tire dressing? I'm looking for something that will give a deep black finish but not too glossy, will last, and most importantly, won't get slung all over my car the first time I drive it... :mad:

I've heard several people say that NXT can't be layered due to cleaning properties, and others say you can layer it....what's the deal here?

Is it stronger than 3M SMR #39009? The 3M doesn't do crap for me as far as getting out tiny hairline scratches that you can't even feel, and doesn't do anything for my swirls....my 1Z PP and Glanz wax will be here Monday, so will this cure my problems? I'll be applying by hand with Meguiars foam...

I'm picking up a set of SS wheels either Friday or Sunday. They're painted silver. What should I use on these to keep them clean? My brake dust situation is somewhat a pain in the ***. I plan on washing/claying and Z5'ing them, but what should I use to clean them weekly? I have some Castrol...

I sprayed it w/a citrus cleaner, scrubbed, hit them w/hose (high pressure), and did the same thing again with carpet cleaner. I cleaned the passenger side for now because I was bored, just to compare the two. It looks like it has a dark spot in the middle, but that's just the shape of the...

Here are pics of my front bumper....notice how it's not as shiny as the hood or the rest of the car? Do you think if I polish it enough it will be shiny again?

I didn't even know my camera could do this until 10 minutes ago, LOL. Car hasn't been washed in like 2 weeks :eek: <----SINNER!!!! BTW - this is with 2 coats of Zaino Z5/ZFX but like I said, the car is dirty..

My floor mats and carpet look pretty bad....I tried using various carpet cleaners and tried oxi clean which helped, but they still don't look that great. The carpet and floor mats are neutral (tan). Any ideas or recommendations? Thanks! Matt

Can someone explain to me exactly what I need to polish my paint the right way? I plan on getting a Porter Cable 7336 soon. What pads do I need? What are backing plates? Can someone please explain this stuff to me? Thanks -Matt

My black trim around the cowl and wiper arms is stained with wax that I cannot get off with rubbing alcohol...what should I try on here? Someone told me to use Armorall cleaner spray... My weatherstripping is sort of faded, and I want to make it look good again. I have 303 Aerospace...

I know most people like the Porter Cable 7424. My friend details cars and told me I should get the Chicago Pneumatic CP-7220 I don't have much experience polishing, only done my car a few times with a crappy wal-mart random orbital. Which one would you recommend?

Is this a step-by-step process like Zaino? Or should I just order the Glanz wax? I already have carwash, a few claybars, and some 3M SMR. Should I wash, clay, 3M, wash, and Glanz? Will this stuff outlast Zaino?

Hi I'm Matt, this is my first post here. I have a 1996 Camaro Z28. I currently use Zaino (I've had the whole show car kit since September). It holds up great here in Florida, but after the first wash, it stops beading water mostly. After a few weeks and washes, the water just starts to sheet...
