    Car Wraps?

    We've wrapped a few of our racecars and they work, but I'd rather have good paint on my car anyday! Don't forget, it's going to be about 1/2 the price of a paint job. They're not exactly cheap. Like stated above, they are great for someone looking to advertise or looking to change the...

    car wash reccomandation from wetaskwin auto museum.

    It is important to use a pH neutral shampoo when washing your car. For the occasions you need to strip wash, add a little All Purpose Cleaner to the mix!

    Adams flex polisher with 3 step pads

    The Flex is the best machine I've ever used! I love mine! Actually have two! I'm not sure about other Vipers, but the paint on mine is incredibly hard. The PC just won't cut it, literally! Bottom line, the Flex will save you time and produce better results. I also I feel the Flex is more...

    The Junkman's Minor Scratch Removal on a Lamborghini Murcielago

    The Flex and Porter Cable are similar in that they bot operate in a random orbit. The Flex is different in a few ways from the Porter Cable. For starters, the Flex is direct drive, forced rotation. The PC is clutch drive. The Flex puts out 9600 OPM (Oscillations Per Minute) and the Porter...

    2010 gauge bezel gloss black

    Do you have pictures so we can get an idea of what you are dealing with? Basic rule is if you can't feel the scratches with your finger, you can remove them with a DA Polisher. If you can feel the scratches with your finger, you're going to have to wet sand. If it is through the clear...

    Quaife Sequential trans.???

    I got my shifter from these guys. Took a long time, but made nice stuff: http://www.sqsracing.com/ Their gearboxes are a lot nicer than Quaife, when talking VWs.

    Quaife Sequential trans.???

    I had a Quaife Dogbox w/ sequential shifter in my VW. I had close to $12k in that. Dog box is not the best for street driving, esp with a stiff twin disc.

    dawn soap and clay bar

    I try not to use Dawn. I usually clay after washing with Adam's Car Wash Shampoo and use the wash solution as lube. Detail Spray works well too. If I'm looking to strip the wax prior to claying, I'll drop about 2oz of Adam's All Purpose Cleaner in the wash solution before washing. The point...

    Of course I'm ready to buy insurance a week after Grundy is sold...

    I am friends with Chuck at Grundy, he's down the street from me. I'll stop in today if I can and talk to him. This is not good news! If you call Grundy, ask for Chuck, he's super cool to deal with.

    WILBER SHOCKS- Anyone use them?

    They look nice, no experience. A few years ago, we swapped out our Penske's and flipped a set of Afcos upside down on our 10.5 car and it made a huge difference.

    Good Bad Or ugly..

    DSS made me custom axles for my VW in 2003, and they did an excellent job. They cut Honda splines (strongest spline) into Porsche hubs and made custom length shafts. They were their Stage V+ setup at the time. Haven't dealt with them in almost a decade, but they were good then. No experience...

    Removing wax ?'s

    I keep Dawn away from my cars. If used too often, it can dry out all the plastic on your car; trim, bumpers, fender wells, etc. If I want to strip my car down for polishing, I mix 2oz of Adam's All Purpose Cleaner into my soap bucket and put 1oz in my Foam Gun. This: In this...

    My Little Detail Polisher

    Nice one! Make sure the bit you're using doesn't wear through the sock. I would definitely use an old microfiber towel over a sock as the microfiber won't leave any microscratches.

    Best way to detail the wheel wells?
