I cannot see any wax product lasting long term in wheel wells without some attention, Waxoyl Hardwax and similar will be OK but will need touchups. That said, it would do the job of protecting, etc. as long as it is maintained. The Waxoyl you have above appears as it is the thinner bodied...

Bosch are my go-to's, every two years. Our '21 Jeep Wrangler Sport had factory aero beam wipers, appeared to be Tricos. When driving in light rain with the top open, the top is almost always open, the wipers made an annoying "whoosh, whoosh" wind noise at the top of their travel. Not...

Surprised the Mo paste didn't work. I've used the Honda Moly 60 on drum brake sliding points. That said, short of any manufacturers' specific recommendation, Wurth HHS+ is my go-to for applications such as this. Excellent lubricant that applies as a liquid that will penetrate than set up...

I will second the The Botanist, very herbal and makes an excellent Negroni and G & T if you want that much of a gin presence. For a less intense gin, hard to beat Bombay.

Try the tape, but obviously it can only be applied where you can reach and work. Due to some construction, I stored cars in a garage that typically has a minor rodent presence. I tried Tomcat Rodent Repellent spray and it seemed to be effective. I tried to plug and then used a heavy...

We are having the steering pump recall done Friday, bit of a pain as I have to drive ~70 miles (bad experience at local Dealer....nice folks, but a bit sloppy). I dug into the underlying issue a bit which includes possible corrosion of the connector and as our vehicle is essentially a Summer...

There was a Golden Age in the late 80's/early 90's where Woolworths and other stores were carrying SKS's, various Enfield's, Swedish nd other Mausers, those Spanish carbines, etc. Glad I stocked up as well. Gone as you stated.... I prize my CMP M1 and Carbine.

I noticed rust bleeding through the rubberized coating of the leading edge of the '79's fuel tank. One of the downsides of a front mounted tank I guess. Wanting to address that, I attached with degreasers, cleaners and a wire wheel. I was surprised to find minimal pitting, a barely...

I do not use acetone, or at least acetone alone for degreasing. A few years ago I restored an old inboard and I resealed the hull including some bronze underwater fittings. The adhesive sealant instructions said specifically to NOT use acetone for cleaning. I called the company's tech line...

Having lived in 1 and 9, spent a lot of time in 4 I would say 3. Why? Some of the if not the most interesting coastal boating in the country, same for flying, with mountains, rivers, bays, forests, rich history and culture and cosmopolitan cities should you want that.

Find a way to market to students and the parents of students going away to college. Try forums, groups, etc. that target the students themselves and overall demographic that is sending offspring to school and will by them a vehicle. Sponsor a Senior event at a local high school to introduce...

I just completed a very interesting call from a consulting company in France doing work on behalf of Michelin. Michelin engaged the consultants to interview collectors with "modern classics", cars in the ~1980-2005 range, with regards to their tire choices and reasoning behind them. Michelin...

That BMW coupe and Mondial:love:, yes Mondial you heard me correctly.
