In my opinion, the problem with the new Ford GT will be the build quality of the car. In short, it will be the same standard as a $40,00 Mustang GT. Up to the current industry standard for a $40,000 car, but no where close to the super-car standard. I work as a part-time race car mechanic on a...

As previously stated, this is an old issue with Nissan KA-Family of engines. I had to replace the guides on my 1990 Hard-Body Truck with the 2.4L Engine. It was fairly easy on that old model, but don't know how hard it will be on the new 2.5L engine. Those KA Engines won't die.... Usually...

I recommend buying the ATF from the Dealer.

The new Focus, Cruze and Dart are not American-designed cars. The Focus was designed in Germany; it is just built in the USA. The Cruze was designed in Germany and Korea; it is just built in the USA. The Dart is based on an Alfa Romeo, but is built in the USA. There is not a single small car...

Any bad side effects of applying Collinite 845 to clear plastic headlights after cleaning them first with compound or plastic cleaner? I would assume that some type of protective coating on clear plastic would be good...

Meguiar's Ultimate Coupound has worked better for me than Meguiar's PlastX or Mirror Glaze Plastic Cleaner.

Clean is clean. My mixture works for me....

I've had better results with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound on plastic than PlastX....

Shines great but doesn't last....

I mix Windex and rubbing alcohol. The alcohol makes it evaporate before the streaks can dry...

If you can afford it, stick with Michelins. Your car is fairly new with a lot of life / miles left on it. You will enjoy driving it more on quality, smooth-riding tires (Michelin).

Michelin X are an old design. I'm surprised Michelin is still making them. I would try to check the date of manufacture on them. Come to think of it, Michelin might not make them anymore. They might be leftover from an old batch. Originally Posted By: FL-400S OK I think I'm giving up on the...

NASCAR is great entertainment, but lets be real about their move to Fuel Injection. It is not cutting-edge direct injection, but old-fashioned throttle-body injection which was first used by the automotive industry in 1982 or 1983. No wonder all of the great new cars from GM, Ford and Chrysler...

My best combination: 1. Meguiar's Ultimate Compound (Black bottle / Walmart $8.97) 2. Collinite 476 Wax
