Does anyone know of a shop in the ATL that has an ozone generator? Need to give it a shot on a musty interior. Thanks!

Just got the latest Pilot Sport PS2's put on my Bimmer. I think right now only tirereack is selling them, but later in 2004 Michelin will begin importing them. All I have to say: WHOA NELLY! Feels like a totally different car! Every aspect of the driving experience is improved with these...

Ummm, Ducati... Even though it's parked, doesn't it look like it's going about 150 mph?

Anyone ever experience staining or streaking when cleaning light colored leather with Lexol?

Gotta love the way the water beads up with P21S!

Hey friends! By now you know what a fanatic I am, but with a stock 2001 BMW 325 ci concoruse events are out of my car's realm, although I have won a few amateur events, locally. So this past weekend I put down a deposit on a 1972 Porsche 911 S Targa, which is being completely custom-built...

So often I read about "detailers" making a mess of a car, using old towels, rubbing in a circular motion, etc. Why not create an Autopia Certification, whereby detailers could earn that marque of distinction by participating on these boards and taking a test of some sort, the same way a...

I have to get new tires soon, and am considering: -Michelin Pilot Sport -Michelin Pilot Sport A/S -Goodyear Eagle F-1 -Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position -Dunlop Sport 9000 Any advice or recommendations?

This weekend I spent some time with the old car, washing it, then with the PC using DACP (cutting pad) twice, then #9 with polishing pad, then #7 with polishing pad, then a slick coat of P21S by hand with a foam applicator and a PakShak MF Towel. I have no before pics, but the hood was...

I'm familiar with CMA's white, yellow, and grey pads, but have yet to try their orange pads. Anyone have an experience with them? Are they slightly more aggressive than the yellow pads?

I have some scratches on my rear deck that wouldn't come out this weekend, even after twice using DACP, then #9, all with my PC. So I need to get more aggressive, obviously. What would y'all suggest: switching from the yellow cutting pad with DACP to a lambswool pad with DACP, or moving on...

Here's a pic of some of my supplies! I figured I'd upload it because I know how I drool whenever I see other Autopian's supply pics! With any luck, tomorrow I'll get to use lots of them!

I thought I've seen it all after living in NYC all my life. But tonight, was a new one. As I pulled up to a red light at the intersection of 27th street and 10th avenue, I noticed a gang of kids standing at the corner. I noticed them eyeing my immaculte, black, shiny BMW, and I knew...

NY Times, Friday, December 20, 2002: "There is an automotive cult whose members worship at the altar of wax. They prey to the gods of weather to keep rain and snow at bay. They prize arcane combinations of potions and lotions. Their obsession is the car that gleams..." The venerable NY...

I spent 5 hours on Saturday detailing my baby. It's a 2001 BMW 325ci in Black Metallic. It's in excellent conditiono, but some spots needed a little work. Here was the step by step, any suggestions?: 1. Thoroughly wash car with P21S Bodywork Conditioning Shampoo 2. Dry with Big Blue MF...

I'm lucky- my old lady likes that I have what she calls a "hobby." We all know it's more of an obsession. So I ask, What is there about us that makes us so nuts about attaining the ultimate clean, shine, depth, etc.? Why do we need that perfect looking chariot? I admit it, I am a bit nuts...

I recently bought some aluminum and rubber "Racing Style" Pedals for my BMW 3 series, which are meant to look like the M series Pedals. I have not installed them yet, but they seem really thin (front to back), and seem kind of flimsy. Not so sure I'd be confident slamming on the gas, brakes...
