    what are the blue things in the first pic? Just bumpers of some sort to keep the cylinder from moving back and forth along the shafts?

    Clay bar?

    Soapy water is a fine lube. ONR (Optimum No Rinse) is great, too (they have a specific clay bar dilution) Mothers, Griot's, or Meguiar's clay works fine and as others have said, is readily available at most auto parts stores or WM. If you're ordering from amazon, Chemical Guys is also good (I...

They seem to be spot on with...

    Need advice from the boys. Girlfriend wants kids......

    If you don't want kids, certainly don't have them to save a relationship (which is not what you've said you'd want to do, but things change as the conflict develops). Life is hard enough without an indifferent parent. You need to get a solid answer out of her on the resentment, because you...

    Originally Posted By: redhat I am looking for recommendations on winter tires for the Taurus. Will need 235/60/17. What would do well on a heavy AWD sedan? Winterforce 2, Altimax Arctic, XIce? Truth be told, I would prefer a tire that doesn't wear as fast as a Blizzak. They are great tires...

    Waxing every month

    do you "wax" because you enjoy it, or because you think it's the best protection for your car? if it's the latter, then get a sealant or a ceramic coating. if you simply enjoy waxing, have at it.

    Looking at 4Runners: KDSS or not?

    Thanks for the replies, all. I decided to hear it from the horse's mouth. Interestingly, the local Toyota dealer installs lifts on vehicles (which are then warrantied)--they said they do not put any lifts on KDSS equipped vehicles. I next went to Slee Off Road, which in the world of...

    First time detailer in apartment complex

    Look into Optimum No Rinse. It is a rinseless wash. You mix it 1:256 parts water--wipe it over the car then dry it. You can do a small car with less than a gallon if you're judicious. If you're doing 2 cars, you could mix up 3 gallons and be done. it can be mixed at 1:16 for a quick detailer...

    Looking at 4Runners: KDSS or not?

    Looking at a 4runner in the near future. This will see some decent off road use in Colorado, but it won't be a rock crawler or mudder. It won't be modded much--perhaps rock sliders and (perhaps, see below) larger tires and spacers with perhaps a modest lift As with most 4x4's, it'll spend most...
