    Car Cover Care

    I used one of the giant washing machines at the laundramat. Cold water, Woolite, gentle wash. And run it through two rinse cycles. Don't dry it in a machine. Let it air dry. I hung mine up in the garage to dry. If you machine dry it, it can shrink and all the stiching can come loose.

    03'-04', water/moisture in foglight?

    I have an early build 03 Cobra and have had both forlights replaced for leaks. Drivers side twice and passenger side three times. All good for the last year though. Maybe they fixed the problem and I just kept getting older ones until the supply line had emptied.

    Mouse poop in my trunk

    If you are going to keep the trunk liner instead of replacing it, you could try Febreze spray to deodorize it. But it would be easier to just replace it. If you know someone in the detailing bizz ask them if they have an ozone generator. One or two treatment with an ozone generator will...

    Best Product for swirl mark removal???

    I just finished removing the swirl marks on a friends dark blue Jetta. They were so bad that just using a Porter Cable DA would have taken forever. Ended up using a Makita rotary with Meguiars #84 Then I used the DA with Meguiars #83 Dual Action Cleaner Polish. That removed the hazing left by...

    stang cleaning day, tips please.

    rjstaff, your right but remember, Scottwax is not a simple human being. He is the car polishing God! But for simple mortals (like me), I have to use a machine. And even then it seems to take me a long time to get gid of every single swirl mark. But it's all worth it in the end. :nice: Nothing...

    stang cleaning day, tips please.

    The whole Dawn thing is all related to the Zaino instructions. Zaino wants you to strip off all traces of previous waxes and coatings before applying their product. So only use Dawn if you are going to use Zaino. And even then you only use it the first time. But since you are going to claybar...

    Mr. Clean autodry car wash

    As they say "it works as advertised" I washed my old Ford Explorer with one today. Didn't use the Autodry soap, tried it with Meguiar's NXT soap. Worked perfectly! Soaked the very dirty truck with spray setting to loosen up the dirt. Turned knob to "soap" and washed, constantly spraying with...

    LED door illumination

    blumi00gt, really nice work! I've never seen anyone do an LED mod to the window and lock switches like that before. How long did the installation take you? And did you consider putting a pot (dimmer) in the circuit if the brightness of the LED ever became intrusive?

    Pics of new paint job

    Six grand for a paint job is just middle of the road price wise. A customer of mine crashed his Ferrari 512BB and it cost $45,000.00 for the bodywork and paint. But that was with every panel stripped to bare metal, massaged to perfection, and about thirty coats of primers, color, and clear...

    Bilit Aluminum Wheel sealant?

    I tried Zoop a few years ago on some Akront rims on a motorcycle. The stuff works great. But not only is it expensive but it is a real pain to use. When Zoop says to be absolutely sure the aluminum is perfectly polished and clean before putting the Zopp on they aren't kidding. Go to their web...

    question about clay bars!

    When you clay gets dirty looking, flatten it out then roll it up into a ball again. Each time you do that you expose fresh, clean clay. One bar should be able to do your car at least five or six times, maybe more. But if you drop you bar on the ground, throw it out. You will never be able to...
