    Trailer brake controler

    Question Favorite brand of paint polish (not wax)

    I've heard mention of using a synthetic wax/sealant first before hitting with a final coat of carnauba wax. With the claims of synthetics removing swirls and making paint shine, i wonder if this might be a worthwhile venture. I always thought natural wax lasted longer, but I have been reading...

    Question Favorite brand of paint polish (not wax)

    I've seen quite a few posts relating to preferred wax, but what's your stand on polish? My oil burner is starting to put on the years now, and the swirls are showing in the dark paint. I've been trying to use Meguires ultimate finish polish with great results but it fights me when buffing it...

    Question Replace Mirror signal lense

    I was sitting at a light in our little town when a Horizon HVAC truck pulled up next to me. when the light changed he veered right before making his left turn, the shape of the intersection makes a lot of people do that. Before i could even move he snagged my driver side mirror and yanked it...

    Question Oil additive?????

    zmax i'm not sure if it is just used to replace say a quart or something of oil, or what, but i heard it is suppose to help keep soot down in engines. I am leaning towards its not really being all that special, but wondering if anyone has used or heard anything else about it.
