Here's the deal. We've had a lot of warm weather lately, and I've been very tempted to install my summer wheels. For the last month, we've had no snow, and so my snow tires are just getting driven on dry pavement, and getting worn out for no reason. The car also handles and looks much different...

I had been wanting to add up the cost of all of my detailing supplies and equipment. Today I was waiting for the UPS guy to bring me my 12 chemical-resistant spray bottles from US Plastics. I live in an apartment building and wonder about some of the others in the building, so I prefer not to...

In a brochure booklet that I got a couple years ago at the Chicago Auto Show, it says this in the Sentra section of the booklet: The Non-Alternative Alternative. Meet Sentra's conscience. The 1.8-liter Sentra sold in California as a Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV). The cleanest...

Here's my dog, Dakota. 13 years of age now. :D

I keep noticing salt/dirt buildup under my door trim pieces. I'm afraid that eventually, I'm going to get rust developing under the pieces. You can't wash under them, so there's nothing I can do but look at the dirt/salt in disgust. The other thing I worry about, is when I wash the car in the...

I, and others, have had many problems/complaints with the new chat room, including: * No sound * Can't reply to chat PMs...you have to send a new one every time * Can't scroll up to view messages more than 16 posts old * Each message lags for a couple seconds before posting. If you...

Yesterday I tried S100 for the first time. It was very easy to use, rivaling Paste Glaz. Went on smooth and wiped right off like nothing was there. Underneath is AIO/UPPx2. I also did PwC Blue on the glass, 303 Wiper Treatment on the blades, and AIO on the trim. Tires have WG gel. This...

My owner's manual says to replace the timing belt every 60K miles if any of the following conditions apply, and then lists a bunch of things. Two of them (Driving the vehicle in an area where road salt or other corrosive material is applied, and driving for prolonged periods in cold...

There's this black Jaguar X-Type that is always parked at the physician's office just across from my campus, and it's always very clean, and parked in the back corner. I've noticed over the last couple weeks, that it hasn't been there except for one day when the roads were clear of snow/slush...

I've come to the decision that I need an electric garage heater. I was searching http://www.Lowes.com and I found a bunch of them. Most of them are pretty inexpensive too. Here are the search results...

I'm considering upgrading to a HID kit in the springtime. I want a bright white look, with no more than a slight blue tint to the light. What temperature rating am I looking for here -- 5000K? 6000K? I'd really appreciate it if I could see some pictures of HID kits that you guys have, whether...

My S&G froze today (high of 6*F, not a surprise) while it was sitting in my car. I had thought about taking it out a while ago, but I was curious as to whether it would change the product at all by allowing it to freeze. Well...it's different to say the least. BTW it was completely thawed at...

Does anyone have an air purifier in their home? Any recommendations for a good one?

I've heard about people sending oil samples in for a UOA, but where do you send the samples to have this done? And how much does it cost? How long does it take to get the results back to you? And what exactly do they tell you from the testing?

I received a fridge magnet in the mail from RoadAmerica with the race schedule for 2006. I think it would be a great place to get together for a meet. And not because it's close, because I'm 2.5hrs away from there. RoadAmerica is a road course in Elkhart Lake, WI, which is about an hour...

Check out the genius (read: moron) that explains it all! Watch him clean the brand new wheel, and show off how shiny it is afterward! :lol http://www.ecolabathome.com/mov/detailingfull.htm

Surely someone else has their car as a desktop background on their computer! Right? The image looks a lot better on the computer than it does it this picture.

If you've ever been smiling so much that you start laughing, that's how I feel right now! ME --> :D --> :woot: --> :lol I looked outside to see the air filled with large snowflakes, and the roads covered in a slippery substance we like to call "snow" up here in the North. :D As if that...

I'm going to be ordering a painted rear spoiler for my car in a couple months, to be installed in the spring. I plan to order it as a Christmas present to myself. That way the paint can cure for 60+ days before it gets installed. I want to be able to detail the spoiler before it gets installed...

To prepare for the harsh Wisconsin winter that my car has to go through, I've been working on it for a few days now. I've got everything done except the wheel/tire swap and Gummipflege on the weatherstripping. It's the end of October now, so both of those will be done very soon. Before long...
