    Some A-HOLE tried to sabotage GA-VCA

    There are a lot of twisted people out there. At least as it turned out nothing happened. I hate to even park in parking lots.

    Yes it is painter's tape. If I'm polishing a car I tape up the badges, lights and trim to if I hit it with the polisher I don't mar it up.

    I think any All Purpose Cleaner (APC) would work ok. It don't hurt to read the label and see what type of surfaces it works on. I'm sure some work better then others. With most cleaners I always rince off with water afterwards. In this case since I had the wheels off and the car was in the...

    fine swirl scratches

    If you want to remove swirls and light scratches you need to polish your paint with a polisher, cutting pad and polish. The type of cutting pad and polish required depends on how pad the swirls are. I usually do a test spot to find the right combination of pad and polish. There are good...

    ACR WHEELS

    I like to use Klasse All-In-One on wheels including my BBS ACR Wheels. It's an acrylic based product and hold up well. It also has some cleaners in it to help remove the brake dust. I have read that the heat from the brakes will cause wax to melt off the wheels and won't hold up.

    Pads arrived today

    I tried the new Cobra Cross Cut Pads last weekend when I polished my 02 ACR. The cross cut allows for more pad contract in the curves of the car. It's hard to find a car with more curves then a Gen II Viper. I was very happy with the performance of the pads. They're my new pad of choice for...

    Those with black cars...

    Swirl Prevention - Wash you can with the 2 bucket method. One with rise water and one with soap water. Use lots of a good premium car soap. A sheep skin mit or some of the new foam mits on the market work good. A leaf blower works great a long with a microfiber towel to dry your car. Blow...

    Valve cover insignia maintenance

    Like Newport Viper I buffed them out using 800 to 1000 to 1500 to 2000 grit sandpaper and a sanding block. I taped the painted part as best I could using blue painters tape. After sanding I applied a couple coats of Klasse All-In-One. They look better then like new.

    Viper as a business?

    I sold my 2002 GTS that I purchased new in 2003 to a car collector in Japan for a nice profit after driving it for a year. A friend of mine who deals in exotic cars had the buyer who was looking for my exact car. He talked me into selling it even through the car was not for sale. Even...
