I love looking at all of the pics of cars that have been waxed with Souveran. They are breathtaking. I was wondering, can carnauba wax be put on wheels? Would I be wasting product (and money) by doing so? Thanks, Charles

Okay, many of you are going to think I'm plumb loco for what I'm about to tell you. Back in the day, when I had my trusty old 1988 Grand Marquis, I bought these blue shop towels from Pep Boys: I bought them in 2001, after the Grand Marq's paint had faded. So I had no qualms about wiping...

In this thread I lamented about my falling off an old creeper stool and how I'd ordered a heavy-duty replacement. I received it yesterday! I had to assemble it, but no tools were required. At first I had trouble figuring out how to secure the seat pad (it kept coming off if I lifted the...

Alas, my creeper stool failed while I was cleaning my car a couple of Fridays ago. I purchased the stool, a cheap metal frame with 5 wheels, from Pep Boys in 2003. It cost $59. When I backed up, I heard a crunch. The wheel nut had broken. At the same time I heard the crunch, I began to tilt...

In an Autopia member's thread, "Armstrong floor tile in the garage?" , I was turned on to the idea of using this tile to floor my garage. One thing led to another, and by the time I finished, I had completely renovated my garage! Read my posts in Peter's thread for some of the costs of what I...

Alas, my creeper stool failed while I was backing up last Friday. I purchased the stool, a cheap metal frame with 5 wheels, from Pep Boys a few years ago. It cost $59. When I backed up, I heard a crunch. The wheel nut had broken. At the same time I heard the crunch, I began to tilt...

Hi Steve, I'm really enamored over your Poorboy's Spray N Wipe as a waterless wash. I'm all set to order some. But, after reading about your new Spray N Shine, I'm a little confused. Is SS a waterless wash, too? Charles

I was tooling around in DetailCity and suddenly the site went down. I hope it's only temporary. BTW, I've noticed more than one thread where people have been confused as to whether they're on Autopia or DC. Both sites rule, in my humble opinion. Charles :bigups

Unfortunately, as people age, they begin to have incontinence problems. Recently, a family member lost control of his bladder in my car, soaking the leather seat. I cleaned the seat with 303 Aerospace Cleaner and used 303 Aerospace conditioner. The smell remained, so the next day I...

Which carrier has the WORST service?

This thread http://autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50180 about USPS has prompted me to conduct a quick poll. Which carrier has the BEST service? Is it: USPS Priority Mail UPS FedEx Other (name)

My thread on buying the Caprice (here in this forum) reminded me of this story involving the 1976 wagon I affectionately called GOLDEN WHEELS: I was in my younger days, and hadn't learned a whole lot of driving lessons - the hard knocks - that I know today. There was a quiet street leading...

Zainoshine's thread, "Detailing for Dealers-Contract or Dealer Employed?", got me to thinking [oh shut up] about the first car I ever financed. The very first time I saw it, I knew this was going to be my car! It wasn't even on a dealer's lot. IT WAS ON A DETAILER'S LOT. Before y'all start...

Cadillac Unveils the 2006 Cadillac DTS Presidential Limousine for George Bush's Inauguration: http://automobilemag.com/news/0501_george_bush_inauguration_cadillac_dts_limousine/ Don't it make you wanna drool? How would you pamper this car (product wise?) Charles

- when he is upset, "DARN DARN DARN DARN DARN DARN DARN DARN DARN!" :ticked :mad: :bigscream :angry Did I say:angry All of the great posts by you guys, of your details, including spectacular pics of some very clean machines. And I can't SEE them because they're blocked! AUGH...

Or for that matter, are there any Crown Victoria or Lincoln Town Car owners on this forum? I'm curious and would like to see pics. Check out my gallery for the few that I have of my 2004 Gr. Mq. Charles

:eek I took my car in on Saturday for its 5,000 mile checkup. Even though it was raining, the dealer washed my car. I had debated on telling them not to wash it, but I thought that since it was raining, they wouldn't. So, I learned a lesson. :beat Hopefully, there will be no new swirl...
