My car has been in the body shop for about two weeks getting repaired from tree damage and getting repainted. Of course I took everything out of the car, but I forgot one important thing... my liscense plate. Yes boys and girls, it turned out to be a mistake. On my way home I got pulled over...

Hey all, I should be getting my car back by the end of next week. It was completely re-painted. The body shop said to wait 60 days before waxing, but I just wanted to make sure that that is correct. I'm looking forward to seeing it glow from Zaino again.:bounce

Finally I can get some work done on my car :D. Do you guys think it would be rude to ask if I can see the car after it is all prepped and ready to be painted to make sure I'm satisfied with the panels? I don't want to make the shop mad, but I want to let them know how much the quality of the...

I've heard the term fisheye used for a particular paint blemish, but I don't know what it looks like, atleast I don't think I do. Does anyone have any pics of what this looks like, or a vivid discription?

Ok, I know i've seen similar posts like this, but I still have some questions. I need to remove all the Zaino from my car, since it's getting re-painted soon. I've heard that there is an "ABC Wash", and an isopropyl alcohol wash that will do it. I've also heard of using a mildly abrasive car...

I currently have Ground Control coilovers over stock struts (still waiting for them to blow, been about a year and still going good) and I've had it with the low spring rates that the GC's have and the uneven settling. The company that ordered them and installed them was shady. Anyrate, I do...

Hi, I was looking at the Autobahn Mirror sold here. I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of what it looks like inside the car? I"m always turning my head to look beside me before I switch lanes because I don't trust my side mirrors, and I was thinking that this mirror might eliminate my...

I was wondering if anyone has any good pictures comparing a polymer sealant and a carnuba on a black car? Or maybe two different black cars at similiar angles in similiar places to see the reflective/deepth differences that everyone talks about? I saw a picture of a black car with carnuba on...

I came across these pictures of Civics awhile ago and was about to deleate them from my computer but I didn't know if people on here have seen these on the net yet. I took pictures of the Focus awhile ago at a hang-out spot several months back and thought I'd post them too. I found these cars...

I have recently noticed that my drivers side window is making a terrible screetching sound when I move it up and down. It appears to be making the sound when the upper part of the window is contacting the felt pads in the window track. I cleaned the pad as best as I could with a cloth and hot...

I know this is a stupid question, but it was bugging me today. And I promise to stop posting so much about police radar soon lol! Since police aim the laser beam at your headlights or plates, would the beam still work if you have black-out covers for your headlights/ tail lights? Also...

I ordered the 8500 last night :D , but I was reading the online pdf manual and had 3 questions about it that I was hoping the Escort users could help me with. Do you guys use the Auto mode, or do you manually switch between City and Highway? I'm not sure exactally how the Auto mode works...
