I think they definitely meet the criteria and count as rare. German cars from the 80s and earlier have really seen a dramatic appreciation in value too the past couple years, so the market seems to...
I picked up an 8070 last week from Autogeek. It has the 3-stage low amp vacuum motor, so it must do better than 85" of lift that the 2-stage one was rated. The Mytee site says the 8070 has 130" of...
Does it just have to be paint work related issues? I wouldn't mind picking the minds of the brain trust for some tips/techniques or product recommendations...
The glass is cooler than the air temp. Moisture has condensed on the glass and the coating makes the water bead (or "fog") much more than usual. Nothing wrong here. Happens all the time in humid...
I asked the shelf life question to Dr. G at DF this weekend and he mentioned this is the reason for the syringe delivery method, as it keeps the product sealed better than other way. I don't...
Poor quality materials and coatings. Makes for nicer looking plastic until it breaks down. Not much you can do about it. I've seen the problems on European cars primarily, from VW to Ferrari.
If you are towing or carrying weight with an Astro van I would highly recommend installing Bilstein shocks. Really transforms the vehicle. I had a near mint '95 cargo version and rebuilt the...
I didn't find it to hold up really well to the Florida elements 24x7 (maybe 2 weeks and lots of rain), however, I really like it for door jams and other locations where using a traditional wax is a...
Looks like a very nice garage. It's interesting to see the regional differences in construction techniques. Being in South Florida and currently building my own garage, the hurricane codes...
Mike, if it is the car show at Abacoa, you probably won't have a problem with the Jimmy. Unless things have changed and they are more forceful in limiting the cars by year, there used to be a lot of...
I use the 1Z stick... 303 Protectant is a nice product, but for rubber seals I find 1Z gummipflege is better. Works great for convertibles, where you have 20-30ft or more of rubber seals to maintain...
I can't recommend the Weather Tech ClearCover chrome one. It's not even been on the car for a year and a half and the "chrome" frame rim inside the cover is going bad. And for 6 months of that time...
Good idea. I've struggled sometimes to not apply too much 845 onto the applicator down here in Florida. Anything above 70°F and it's almost the consistency of water. Adding a flip-top cap off an...
I'm not familiar to the analogy about diesel fuel, but being a petroleum product (like gasoline) I assume you mean your skin feels greasy/oily. The difference between hard and soft water is this: ...
I recently purchased Meguiars Ultimate Protectant and have been pleased with it on textured plastics and porous rubber (like the spoiler or bumper trim on my older BMWs). UP seems less likely to...
Have you ever used "softened" water? I only ask because you are wrong--- it's absolutely nothing like washing in salty water as you make it sound. The salt for a water softener is used to recharge...
Certainly good idea to do as suggested in the previous posts and work on strengthening your core muscle groups plus losing any excess weight if needed. Going to the gym is not always necessary,...
The Weathertech cover seems to work well but I've only had it a little over one year. Although covers are illegal in just about every state, the plastic is high grade unlike those cheap ones which...
That is cosmoline applied for protection during overseas transport. After baking on engine components and other places under the hood for years, it is not going to come off easily. The cosmoline...
I feel that my titanium silver BMW always looks fine and boring during sunlight hours, no matter what--- it really doesn't "pop" until there is more dramatic lighting available. Dusk hours are great...
The wheels appear to be etched and I'm not so sure they are actually chrome. You'd want to be positive about the material and coating first before getting aggressive.
