We bought a new 2005 GMC Yukon with very hard water spots on the windows... I tried soap/water/hard work, Invisible Glass, Windex, White Vinegar -- and nothing seems to get rid of them. Any ideas on anything that will clean the hard water spots off the windows? :shrug: Thanks, Jeff

i washed and clay'd my car last night and this morning spent a few hours applying Zaino Z5, Z2 and Gloss Enhancer!!! Let me just say, after Z5 i was a little skepticle, but then i realized Z2 was the real "wet" looking polish. And then the Gloss Enhancer topped everything off, its amazing...

I am about to apply Zaino for the first time (tomorrow morning). I have washed it and clay'd the car tonight. I am planning on a Z5 coat (speed it up with ZFX) and then Z2 coat or two. I have never used Zaino before and will be using the porter cable 7424 for the first time as well...

Hi everyone- I went to a local shop and asked for pads and rotors similar to stock and they hooked me up installed for $550 for front and rear. :dw: The problem is, the rears that they got for me are a really cheap brand (apparently) because after 2 car washes the back ones are SO...

Anyone know what an E55 AMG would run in the 1/4? What do they trap? Thanks! Jeff

So i finally hopped on the dyno to check my #s with my 2.93" pulley and RWTD tune. I already had datalogged and sent back and forth ~3 times to get the tune dialled in so i know its dead on, but i wanted to know my numbers... the A/F is perfect 12:1, timing is 19* (shitty 91 octane :cuss...

Hey everyone, Just wondering, how are the new GTO's holding up? (2005 -400hp) What numbers are guys seeing stock at the wheels? With an intake and exhaust? Any other common mods like the cobra's tune and pulley? Just wondering, b/c if someone can get past the ugly ass looks, I...

I raced a Trans Am today. I see him get on a local 3 lane highway and i had to wait at a light. he pulled over and waited for me to catch up! haha. I get up next to him at the next light and he looks over and nods. It was a 2000-2001? TransAm. It was half black and half red. Looked like...

Hey, I was watching TV tonight and saw a commercial for the new Cadilac Escalade EXT (the long one). Anyways, a yellow convertible pulls up next to it at a light. When the yellow car revved at the cadilac, they showed the tachometer. It was the same as my cobra, it didnt have the SVT logo...

I was out with my g/f and her mom and mom's b/f. We were in a rich part of the bay area called "Santana Row" where they have all kinds of expensive shops and restaurants. We were waiting for our car to be valet'd back to us and i see a porsche 911 turbo parked all off to the side. I then...

My dad just had tires put on his '96 porsche and he is like me. He is very anal when it come to scratches. Anyways, the shop put some minor scratches in the paint on his wheels :cuss: and we were wondering if anyon has experience getting minor "clear coat" scratches out of painted wheels...
