Is say 75:25 coolant:water bad? I used a prestone hygrometer to check my coolant and it says its protected to temps cooler than -45 degrees but -34 is recommmended (it may have more coolant than that but it only reads to -45. Will this cause engine damage? I dont think it would but figured I...

Looking for a waxoyl type spray product that I can shoot in some frame rails, Looking for like a gallon size and a spray gun with a wand I can hook to my compressor

I have used just about every store bought wax and thought they all pale in comparison to Zaino. After using Zaino on my truck exclusivly the past few years and ending up with water etchings that will not come out, I gave up on them and switched to Nu Finish (cheap, readily available and decent...

Do you guys that have used the Porter Cable, believe I can get out some water etchings (deep enough to catch a fingernail) I am VERY upset that I have these etchings because I used Zaino routinely and exclusively (every 3-4 months-multiple coats and clayed twice since new, its a 2003) I thought...

How often can you use one with a light cutting pad without damaging/going through the clearcoat? When you use them to apply sealants and such with a polishing pad does it help remove light swirls?

Also, edmunds voted for the mazda 3 in the economy car class, they said it beat the new civic in every category that involved moving. LOL

we own a 2002 focus ZTS with 50K miles average 28mpg mostly city and we have had no problems what so ever. I am very pleased with it so far.

ek polk, I think your taking offense to what I posted. I dont think Hybrids are a bad idea, in your case its optimal. If you read the edmunds article they had, they were saying that it wasnt worth it unless gas was 5.00 a gallon (for the standard 15K miles a year) I couldnt see buying the older...

Just wondering how fast it is compared to my Cable modem??? I am taking a different job and I need an instant connection anywhere for school. Is it quick? how much slower than my Cable modem? is it worth the 70.00 a month for service?

Check Edmunds, I believe they concluded that gas needs to be around 5.00 a gallon for the cost difference of a hybrid to be it (if you were to own for 5 years) If you going to own it longer than that, then yes gas can be cheaper. On another note, did any of you see the "South Park" Episode...

I have replaced the one in my Tacoma V6 and Focus Zetec yearly. I can say that I dont think it is doing any good. I rattle the new one and compare it to the old one and it feels/sounds the same. I think I am going to switch and do it every 2-3 years. Its seems like overkill. I Have a bunch of...

I think you missed the point of my original post. Its not that dont know how to change my oil or dont want to change it, its that I dont know if I am going to be able to because I am moving from Ohio to FL and I dont know if the apartments/condo/villa whatever I end up renting will allow you to...

Thanks, I guess I will just have to find somewhere I can keep a close eye on them when they change it and check the tq on the bolt/filter when they are done. I prefer to do all my own maintenance, I want to continue using synthetics I just dont want to get ripped off or worse, end up with...

Would you use Valvoline or Castrol??? Better filters with either? I am going to be moving and I may not be able to do my own oil changes at my next residence but these are close by. Does Mobil Still have any quick change places?? I would like to stick with Mobil one if possible, but will have to...

I just said screw it.. Took the flares off removed the weather stripping and refinished them with SEM Trim Black. The automotive paint store recommended it. They came out looking like new. Hopefully it holds up as well as the store said it does.

My Name is Howard, I too have a Zaino addiction. (background-Welcome we love you Howard)LOL. Seriously, Zaino is the BEST stuff out there and they recently got better. The new Z2 pro is amazing. I put one coat on beginning of spring and it still beads VERY well. Honestly nothing can come close...

I like the older style Elantra, the one model kind of looked like a Saab. This new one looks very cheap/plain looking. I agree with the Mazda3 your resale will probably be ALOT better with that. Enough to justify the difference in fuel economy.

After about 4 pressure washings (around 30.00 in qtrs) I was able remove almost all of it, just a few specs. BE CAREFUL with this stuff.

I did the herculiner first, it looks great for about a week then fades dull. I took the truck to a LineX dealer and he said it wasnt a problem going right over the herculiner as long as it was prepped well. I personally did the prep and did a fantastic job. I was dissapointed when they were...

I did use some on my bedliner and on the black handles on my wifes ford focus which it worked well on. But it just wouldnt "take" to the Tacoma fender flares, I almost have all of it off (after ALOT of hydrospraying). I would recommend just trying it in a very inconspicuous area first.
