to hide scratches: meguiar's #7 and #26 is a good combo. meguiar's nxt and eagle one nanowax will do a decent job hiding scratches, not as well as the above combo (imo) but are much easier to apply. buster is right, autopia is the way. to eliminate the scratches will require either a porter...

i use the tread bars as a guide, but if wet performance starts to suffer, i look to change them. i had quite a bit of tread left on my last tires and they were fine in the dry, but wet traction was atrocious. the guys at the tire shop were kind of surprised that someone would get rid of tires...

i still use a chamois some, but the best thing to do is not really dry the car that much in the first place. get one of those hose nozzles that allows you to adjust the spray. rinse the car with the "soaker" setting (it's like no nozzle at all). the water will sheet off (rather than bead up)...

on the cheap, try some eagle one detail spray.

since we're about to winter, i'll offer my $.02. i will normally start out with a coat of mother's cleaner wax. the next week or so, i will wash the car again, then use meguiar's #7 and #26, followed by eagle one waud. there are other polishes than #7 that are a lot easier to use. i'm just...

this was really a home brew of 1 qt pennzoil longlife 15w-40, a quart of pennzoil synthetic 10w-30 (pre-platinum), and the rest was pennzoil dino 10w-30. filter was a purolater pure-one model. i use lube control and fuel power religiously. the car sat in the driveway for most of the summer. it...

i have an impreza 2.5rs and my fuel dilution and insoluble levels, while well under blackstone's recommendations, are higher than terry would like. doesn't seem to matter what filter i use, what oil, or the fact that i use lc and fp. it does keep me from running intervals quite as long as i'd...

with uoa, i can get 2/3 of the mileage (compared to synthetic) on an oci, and pay about 1/4 of the price to do so. so yeah, i was once a mobil1 guy. no more.

i just threw in 2 quarts of PP, 1.25 quart of penz dino, and a quart of penz long life (yeah, i know, quite the home brew). my last home brew (uoa coming) was similar, except the sl synthetic in place of the PP, and that was getting me a better uoa than mobil1. the new batch made my engine...

the oe bridgestone's i've had (re92) suck, but the firestone sh30 was a great tire. they do make some good tires, but you do have to do some research. and keep them properly inflated...

if you haven't waxed in a while, you should probably wax with a cleaner wax first. mothers has a good cleaner, as does meguiars. even turtle wax will do what you want. after that, the waud will help keep it up for a while. i use cleaner wax about twice a year, then meguiars #7 & #26 a couple...

i think they work well for the occassional cleaning. you still need more substantial treatment, maybe once or twice a year. i used them on the saddlebags of my last bike every week or so and my bags looked great after several thousand miles riding, sun and rain. my wife uses them in her car...

i'd post something witty, but i have to go **** a ***** with a **** and a huge *****, all the while taking ****** ****'s name in vain. **** you too!

scared **** out of me! could someone change the title?

several countries have promised aid when the united states is ready to receive it. one country said they weren't going to send helicopters until they had a place to land. a spokesman for fema or something said that unsolicited aid was often more hindrance than help. venezuala has offered fuel...

to me, the key is to rebuild smartly. these numbnuts in coastal areas who build homes on stilts 10 feet from the water are simply begging to be part of darwin's big plan. overdevelopment and loss of wetlands was a big contributor to this and other major floods. there is simply no way for the...

this six speed is should have lower warranty costs. there has been substantial testing on this tranny, with more to go. production doesn't kick off until mid '06. there are several derivatives coming out in the next few years as well. this will be a global set of transmissions; slightly...

i resemble that remark.

i like it! whoever designed it, good job.

airlines suck. in all ways. badly.
