We bought a new CRV on the first of March. I just finished doing a wash, clay bar, and coat of ZAIO. We are planning to drive it up to Toronto next month for a week, then drive back. We bought a car bra for it, which is pretty cool because it has screen that covers up the openings where a rock...

I have read numerous pages on this forum to try to find the answer myself so forgive me if the answer has already been posted. From what I have learned from this site, you need to get a "proper" kit made for your car so it won't blind other drivers. I have an 02 Oldsmobile Intrigue. I'm not...

I have an 02 Olds Intrigue with the 3.5 v6. Today the check engine light came on. On the way back home, I stopped at Auto Zone and they pulled code P0131 and P0137. These are codes for the front and rear O2 sensors. Symptoms for these codes include: defective sensor, vacuum leak, engine running...

My 06 Crown Victoria's radiator fan constantly runs on high after the engine gets to operating temperature. I took this into the county garage and they replaced the fan controller, which I guess is what controls how fast the fan will run depending on the temperature. The engine is not...

According to the manual, Toyota recommends a "Dex" type ATF fluid for the power steering. My question is though... since I have read on here that Dex VI is ONLY backwards compatible with transmissions that used to require Dex III. I can't find Dex III anywhere and I am not sure if I should use...

Has anyone installed one of these kits before? The instructions are pretty lame... for the 1-2 piston, it "shows" that I should put all three springs in there, but I would think these three springs would bind up with each other. I can't find any information on this online. Can anyone help?

I have tried searching for this, but does anyone happen to know what the air flow direction is for an 06 Corolla cabin air flow? I just replaced the factory cabin air filter... the factory filter has an arrow pointing up, but does that indicate the air flow or just telling people to keep the top...

I just got my patrol car... 2003 Crown Victoria. The paint was very nasty. Seeing that I wanted to clean it up, but not have to detail it like it was my POV, I chose to use NuFinish on the car. I use Zaino for my POVs and I have Rejex for the windows. I know that Zaino is very picky on how the...

I have a question and maybe someone with experience can answer this. I should be assigned to the road pretty soon and will get a patrol car with all the reflective decals all over the car. If I use NuFinish on the car, will I have to avoid the reflective material or will it not damage and stain...

I just applied my final coat of Z2 on my car. I am letting it dry for a few minutes right now before I take the dried coat of Z2 off. I am planning on putting ZCS on it afterwards. My question is, do I have to wait 6 hours (it says 6 hours for Z2 to cure without ZFX on a hot day) before I can...

Hello, I have a beater 95 Neon that I use NuFinish on because I'm not so concerned about the looks of the car, rather than the durability of the polish. I'm hoping this stuff will last 6 months, let alone a year. Anyways, my gf has an 06 Corolla that I plan on using Zaino on soon. I have been...

There is all this talk about what the best oil is to use for protection against cold start ups and stuff like that. Most of the engine wear is on cold start up while once you are already driving there is not that much wear. Why don't cars just use electric oil pumps? I have seen ads for it...

I work at an autoshop and noticed that the new Ford Focus comes with 2 different engines... One takes a PH 400 filter and the other takes a PH 2005 filter. Interestingly enough, they both look the same and they both fit on either engine. I am wondering what is the main difference between these 2...
