Well, I just got back a quote from my parents' insurance agent on a brand new 2003 Mustang Cobra. They said that 1) the only insurance people who would insure me would be MAIF (Maryland Auto Insurance Fund) 2) the policy has limits (ie $40K bodily injury, etc) 3) the total annual cost is...

I am going to get in touch with my family's insurance agent to inquire about this as well, but I would like to get a quick, off-the-record quote from someone on here who has been or is an insurance agent. It does not, and should not, be too official. I just want to ballpark the insurance payment...

Basically, I would like you guys to name as many "sports car" type cars as you can possibly think of with a ceiling of $53,000... I figure X number of heads are better than 1 and this way, I can begin re-analyzing my choices for my upcoming new car. Basically, what are all the quick, and...

Well, ladies and gents, I am set on ordering my PC from CMA. I will be getting the "Ultimate Detailing Machine" package, one that I am sure most of you are familiar with. Now of course, I am gonna need extra pads, etc. The question is, seeing as CMA lists at least three different packages...

Anybody know if we're getting (as contributing members) a discount of any type at CMA (properautocare.com)??? I'm not even sure this is in the right section, but I am at work and had to do this quickly. Anybody know??

Well here's the deal ladies and gents... I am in the market for a new car (S4, M3, or SVT Cobra are my very dissimilar choices for the moment, but we'll get to that in another post) and I have no credit. I have never had a credit card, never taken out a loan of any type from a bank, though I do...

Well, my dad got a brand new Cadillac CTS to make up for the '98 VW Passat that just blew up after 130K+ miles. I absolutely love the car and I want to make it look beautifully deep, dark black. As well as put a nice shine on the upgraded 17" wheels and tires he got for it too. I want to do...

I have about 12 MFs that need to be washed. How can I clean them without damaging them or causing them to be harmful to my paint??? I've tried searching on this and keep finding different views on the subject, so perhaps this can be the end all thread. So anyways, how do I wash my CMA MFs properly??

I'm SERIOUSLY considering buying a PC for myself as my paint really needs some work with the 3M SMR. I tried it by hand and realized that it would be a LOT easier and produce a MUCH better result if I used a PC. Also, I have the Klasse twins (which I have not yet tried) and I would probably like...

Alright, this is kinda a continuation of the previous thread where I vaguely described an orbital buffer that I have. I have been quite busy lately with college packing and moving, so I did not have time to respond until now... 1 hour before I go back to school :( Anyways, here's the situation...

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Alright. I bought in excess of $275 worth of stuff from CMA (Souveran Sizzling Shine Kit, Pinnacle PolyClay Kit, Klasse Concours Kit, Eagle One Scratch Remover, Eimann Fabrik Powerwash+, (2)Kit of Five Microfiber towels), not including the $50 I spent at...

Alright, so my dad bought this thing that came in a red plastic box (I can't remember for the life of me what brand this thing is) to "wax the car and the boat" with. I think the name is something similar to "Smith and Wesson", but it's not Smith and Wesson. It just has two names in it. I'm...

I would really like some pictures of your ride if you have the following combination: Klasse All-In-One Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze Pinnacle Souveran I would prefer that they were on dark colored cars such as dark blue, black or red, but pretty much any pictures of that combination...

Basically, I want to know all of what is involved in using "3M Perfect-It II Light Rubbing Compound: Fine Cut" by hand. I am using this product to remove some aggressive swirls. After I use it, I will be going over the area with "3M Swirl Mark Remover for Dark Colored Cars" to finish up any...

Alright ladies and gents. It's time for me to really start looking. She's just not runnin right anymore, though she's in perfect mechanical condition. I can just feel her slippin away, poor XLT. We had some good times and she held up well. Anyways, I need some good suggestions. Here are my...

Ok, so I have a 1995 Explorer as mentioned in my sig. It has NEVER been clayed. I washed it once with Eimann Fabrik Powerwash+, completely dried it, then began claying the hood. Before I clayed though, I felt it and it didn't feel all that bumpy. Gritty, yes, bumpy, no. I clayed the entire hood...

Ok, so I am told that using 3M IHG then Klasse AIO afterwards is an ok thing to do. However, I have some moderate swirl marks. If I were to just 3M IHG then follow it by the Klasse twins, would they swirl marks and whatnot show through?? 3M SMR did not remove the swirl marks (but I only...

Ok, so the other day, I applied 3M Swirl Mark Remover for Dark Colored Cars to my hood in a little 2'x2' area. I pressed pretty darn hard while doing the back and forth motion you guys suggested (in order to prevent new swirls from forming). However, I noticed that when I took it out in the sun...

Basically, I need to confirm that I am using the correct applicators for each of these processes. Anyways, here goes: Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion - terry applicator for app, Magic towel (CMA) for removal 3M Perfect-It II Light Rubbing Compound: Fine Cut - terrycloth towel for...

Where do I find these things?? I really liked that thread about engine detailing that showed the before, after cleaner, and after engine kote pictures. The cleaner in and of itself looked great for what it had done and I would love to get my hands on some. Anyways, I am told that I can get both...
