    Dry Ice

    You guys see these videos of cleaning the engine bay with dry ice? It looks spectacular, but the machine is waaay pricey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USfxCEhw8wc Hoping they might come out with an "enthusiast" machine. Would make quick work of tired engine bays.

    Polish Angel High Gloss and CQuartzUK

    So I got a bottle of the PA High Gloss after reading a lot of reviews on here. I wasn`t really blown away, but my expectations may have been too high. I didn`t find it to make the paint look terribly different from say FK425 or DG Aquawax. Actually I think FK425 looks better. Unfortunately...

    CQuartzUK Gone After ONE Rain?

    Alright I`m REALLY hoping there is something amiss here that I did wrong, but it seems my CQuartzUK coating that has cured for 4 days completely washed off in a heavy rainstorm last night. Don`t get me wrong... this was one hell of a rain storm. But I came out this morning and every single...

    CQuartzUK Experience

    So I coated my car with CQuartzUK this weekend. I needed something for my daily driver that would last longer than the DG105 I was using. My first application did not go very well. I read the instructions and viewed videos and how-tos but I found that in the end I needed to do a very small...

    McKee`s 37 Trademark Carnuba Paste Wax

    I was looking around for a new boutique wax for my Shelby and I had zeroed in on Wolfgang Fuzion Estate Wax and then saw a comparison to that and McKee`s 37 saying that they performed very similarly and the McKee`s was quite a bit less than the Wolfgang. So I figured I would give the McKee`s a...

    1987 Scirocco 16v

    I haven`t posted on here for a while so figured I`d share this. I had an 84 Scirocco right out of high school and I loved that car. I had to sell it when I went to school and ever since I`ve thought about that car! I remember when the 16v Sciroccos came out and I was in love. I went to a VW...

    McKee`s Trademark Wax Challenge

    I edited this basically because it was just a case of crossed wires. My phone number wasn`t correct and my email got held up in their spam folders. Spoke with Nick he was really nice and I`ll be posting my review as soon as I get it on the paint :)

    Wheel Stains Help!

    Ok so I have some pretty severe black stains on one of my wheels, on the inside (barrel) of the wheel. I had the wheel re-painted, and I suspect they didn't bother to clear the barrel and only did the face of the wheel so that has allowed break dust (I assume) to get embedded into the paint...

    Wax / Sealnt Longevity

    I read A LOT of posts about how this wax lasts a month (sometimes more) and how that sealant lasts 1 - 5 months etc. etc. Now I'm beginning to wonder if I'm: 1. Crazy 2. Way too anal 3. Doing it wrong The LONGEST and I mean LONGEST I've ever gotten out of any sealant is Zaino and...

    I Love My Litte Green Machine!

    I bought the LGM like a year ago and have only used it once... and then it was just to do a quick clean of my carpets which are black so visually it's kind of hard to tell if you've made some huge improvement. Anyway... my '91 Mustang had a seal leak on the passenger window that I was not...

    Gloss It Polishes

    So I was kind of interested in trying out the Gloss It stuff but damn the shipping is $15 for their sampler pack of three 4oz bottles. Half the cost of the polishes!! Anyone know if a retailer sells this stuff? Or should I even bother?? Thanks :)

    Pads Stained from Single Stage Paint

    So I polished a red Trans Am with single-stage paint recently and my pads are stained red. I've soaked them twice and tried to get the staining out but it's not happenin. Just wondering if it's ok to use these pads again or should I chuck them? Thanks :)

    Metallic Silver Touchup Advice

    I'm trying to do some touchup work on a metallic silver car. The problem is the flake looks ok from certain angles, but from others it looks bad. The silver becomes sort of gray and it kind of looks like a bug splat or something. I've read about the guy doing the touchup with the...

    Rotary Speeds

    So before I went into using a rotary I read all the stuff I could and watched all the vids I could. Much to my surprise the rotary did not turn out to be the evil beast machine I had always feared it to be. Maybe because I had used a PC a lot before, or because I had, in-fact, read all the...

    Used My Metabo For the First Time Awesome!

    It was amazing! I have had it in a box sitting in my tool chest for about three months. I was afraid of it. Just settled on using my PC or UDM. Well I finally ran into a job that just wouldn't budge. I could not get the swirls and scratches out of this hood. No matter what I tried on...

    Am I Being Too Picky New Paint?

    So I got stripes painted on my car. They looked great, but after a couple weeks I noticed the stripe on my hood looked like it had black streaks in it from a certain angle. It almost looked "scratched" in the metallic if that makes sense. Anyway. I took it back and the guy at the...

    Autopia New Homepage Threads TINY Section

    Ok am I the only one who is not digging the layout of the new site with all of the "recent threads" stuck way over on the side in a VERY small column? I mean I know you want to advertise but every other forum I go to puts the ads on the side where you have the forum threads... Just wondering.

    Vintage Review

    I debated if I should even post a review of this, seeing as it seems to be a touchy subject but I figured I would want to read it if I were looking for reviews of Vintage so here goes :) I was fortunate to get a sample of Vintage from someone so that I could try it out. I wanted to make sure...

    RMG = HD Cleanse ?

    I was wondering if RMG is essentially the same as HD Cleanse or Pinnacle Cleansing lotion. I have RMG so if I don't need to buy those then cool. I'm planning on trying out some Zymol Vintage and see if it lives up to the rep :)
