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 went to the SJ Auto Show today. Its a little smal compared to some others, but got some good pics anyways! They had a muscle car alley with tons of GT350's etc. Oh yeah, and a GOLF CART with SPINNERS!!! haha... http://www.jeffalves.com/Pics/SJAutoShow2006/index.html

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...

Does anyone know where i can buy the "SVT" center cap that goes on the middle of our chrome 17" wheels? Thanks, Jeff

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...

So i see a sonic blue 04 lightning on a local chevy dealer's lot. So i decide to stop in and see what the wanted for it... you know, just to see... ;-) I pull up and park and i hear two older salesmen talking "oh, i just pulled up in my mustang and i would like to test drive one of your...

Haha, not sure if this is a kill or not. I roll up on a V6 eclipse with a very flashy body kit and fart pipe, when i roll up next to him i see a huge tach and 4 aftermarket gauges flashing at the driver. Fast and Furious for sure. So i rev at him. He then moves over one lane to the...

I am not sure what was in the air this weekend, but I had three cars race me! The first one was a 2004 Cadilac CTS-V. So some car with HID's flys up on my ass when I am going 80 on 280 to my parents house. So I politely pull over to the # 3 lane and let them pass. But they just get up...

Hey! I am getting a single gauge pod for my steering column sometime soon (tonight maybe) and was wondering how to get the stock plastic peice off and the new one on... is it easy, does it pop off? any screws to worry about? I got the one from autometer AUT10004 from...

I have a strange problem with my car's throttle response. It seems that if i bring the car into the 4000+ RPM range in any gear and floor it, it hesitates before it goes. This also applies to when i shift at redline. I think the reason it also applies to this is that the next gear is...

My friend sent me this car wash study that he found online... I have my own opinions (which are that i think this study is BS), but i was wondering what others thought... please read : http://www.marlinscarwash.com/SUB/TexasCarWashStudy.pdf 1) Sounds like the "typical home car wash" is...

Hey, I was thinking about doing 18s in the back and 17s in the front. Has anyone done this with the stock chrome wheels in front and replica's in back? Any Pics? Thanks, :shrug: Jeff

I just took a ride in my buddies car that he just got back from the shop. Its a 2004 Z with Intercooled Twin Turbos and Cams... He made 403rwhp and 395 torque. His baseline was 243rwhp/250rwtq. Let me just say, this is insane. This car is badass. I am interested to see my car...

I use the predator and have always used a flasher. I am curious though, they say you have to "scrape" the PCM to put the chip on. Where do you scrape? Where does the chip go? I removed my panel and removed the black casing over all the wires and removed the wiring harness to tap a few...

Hey, I was wondering if you can get into boost in reverse in our cars. I have never tried and quite frankly i dont plan on it... but someone at work asked me and I didnt know the answer. I then got to thinking about it and want to know the answer! :dw: Thanks, Jeff PS...
