    Re: OMG: Wipe New

    I did use it on the bottom rubber trim on my wife's CR-V. I found that Wipe New lasts pretty long (I doubt 100+car washes long) but it help up well throughout the Summer.

    Re: Mustang vs challenger

    While I prefer the driving dynamics of the 2015 Mustang, the Challenger is also a tremendous value. We really live in a golden age of muscle cars. Think about it, the base engines have 300+hp and you...

    Fantastic job on the new Tesla. I was fortunate to participate in a drive event with the Tesla and was blown away on how well that car drove. It really is a credit to that company that their first...

    Re: Getting rid of foggy, haziness in headlights

    Basically you should just let the sandpaper do the work (minimal pressure) . I will alternate the direction of sanding when I step up to different grade of sandpaper.

    Re: What day do you typically wash your car?

    As the weather seems to change hourly in the Mid-Atlantic, I will wash my cars when I know the temperature is nice and the chance of rain is minimal. (Typically at dusk)

    Re: Plasti Dip Care

    PlastiDip is pretty resilient but I would recommend as gentle a process as possible to clean the wheels.

    Kudos to "Cfiiman" for that suggestion, I have never heard of that.

    Re: What year is this Ford Mustang?

    This is commonly called an SN95. Probably mid 1990's with a 3.8L V6 (do not let the Cobra badge fool you, the single exhaust is a dead giveaway). While the 3.8L V6 can be worked into a competent...
