I received a Zymol Carbon Vinyl Smart Kit as a prize from Left Lane Giveaway #1 and I have been very excited to review it. It has been a string of rainy days since I received the kit pushing my review later and later. Today overcast lasted all the way to 6pm but I decided no more. Luckily for...

First off, I want to say I feel very proud to be part of the Autopia community and I enjoyed each day checking the discussions since 2012. But what makes me happy most is the fact I, being a Canadian across the border can be included in contests and prizes. The shipping is more than within the...

Been waiting forever to post this up!    This is actually my first paint correction for 2014 and I have been spending a lot of time on it. In between my breaks I have been detailing other cars or waiting on rainy weather to pass. I think the whole process was over 2 months long until I finally...
