Does anyone have experience with magnetic drain plugs for your oil or transmission? I've started seeing some people over on CRSX post about them, and I guess you can say I want a 2nd opinion from a more diverse car owning group here on Autopia. These plugs aren't exactly cheap, I found a pair of...

NEGLIGENCE!!! :mad: :mad: Apparently my school, Montclair State University, must have overlooked the fact that 9,100 student's SS#s have been floating online for anyone to see for the past 4 months. I guess all their wonderful construction plans to build a bigger and better MSU got in...

Hello: I would like to know if anyone has any experience with the Mother's Reflections Advanced product line? I rarely read anything about any Mother's products on this forum, and was somewhat interested in their newer Reflections Advanced line. I have yet to see any of their products locally...

Hello: Yesterday I ventured out to a pretty decent sized detailing store(Pals Automotive) that was about 35-40 mins away from my house. Anyway I went there to pick up some Meguiar's cutting pads which they didn't have in stock till next Tuesday :( , so I didn't want to make the trip a complete...

Coming home from the Taste of Lexus Performance Event 2 weeks ago(post at bottom of page) I snapped a couple pictures of the beautiful NY skyscrappers. Anyway I got this building-in-progress while waiting in bumper to bumper traffic trying to get into the Lincoln Tunnel. I'm just curious if...

Hello all: I posted about this event maybe a week back, i'm not sure if people weren't interested in it or were too far from it, but i'm now posting a follow up and post-event post. I signed up with my friend, I would have invited my other friends and cousins but they were all under 21, and I...

Well last Tuesday I was "inducted" into a local photography club. I've visted the last 2-3 meetings last May, and now that its starting up for the fall, I decided to join. The main reason I knew about it was because my best friend's father is a "senior member" there so he would always tell me to...

Hello: I would like to get some opinons on how often I should change my base Acura RSX's oil. According to the manual it says to change it every 10k miles/1 year whichever comes first under normal conditions, or every 5k miles/6 months for severe conditions. I feel changing it every 3k miles/3...

Hello: Well today I decided to change the oil on both of my parent's cars today to help increase gas MPG and because they were past 3k miles. Anyway while I was draining my father's car, I decided to check all the fluids on my car, mainly the oil. I had a hard time reading my dipstick, but it...

Turned 21 yesterday (8/29) and really didn't have anything planned out for it. I'm really not into drinking and having huge hangovers, so I planned on having a pretty quite day. Anyway the night before my b-day my cousin's were having a party for their relative, and new husband, they came from...

Hello: I've decided to put my Chicago Electric rotary and pads up for sale. I originally bought everything with the intention of learning how to use it and detail other people's cars, but i've been so busy this summer, it's been collecting dust. I also feel my PC is adequate for my car, I...

As the title says, i'm detailing a Civic this weekend and the driver's side door and fender have been recently repainted. I know to keep my wax/sealant away from them, but i'm wondering what is a "safe" polish to clean them up a bit? I have the following polishes: Optimum Polish, Menzerna FP2...

As the title states, i'm wondering if OCW will work on top of PwC. I know OCW has been getting a lot of play on the forums lately, and it seems it would fit in good with me seeing how I am also rushed for time, especially at the end of a detail. This seems like it would really cut my detail...

Very sad to think a girl I knew since 1st grade, with so much potential died so sudden. Apparently she was enrolled in a summer class at her college, and for the last week wasn't feeling to good. She shrugged it off like any dedicated student and got through the final week of the class. She got...

What do you guys use to remove your polish and wax? I was always under the impression that MF are the best to use to remove polish residue and to buff off wax. Anyway I just got back a response from Irene @ TOL, when I was asking some questions about TS. She strongly recommended to buff out wax...
