A good book and a good wax
Hey everyone,
This is my new name, I used my friends account for a while, but I decided to make my own since the old one made me look like a hardcore drug user. haha.
Anyways, Has anyone read the book "Civic Duty" by Alan Paradise? It's kind of old, (made in 2000) but a very good read in my opinion. Cleared up a lot of questions I had and the book was in terms I could understand.
Also, What's everyones favorite wax? I bought black magic and that stuff sucks *****. So i used my dads Collinite (sp?) insulator wax and it worked pretty damn good.

i'd do a starsky and hutch slide across the hood of ya dads car, but that **** is so slick and shiny id go so fast and break my hip. Use that clay bar then get a buffer then do clay bar again and get a few friends to help ya do the wax and work it in. You talk bout shiny then.

I always top my car with s100 carnuba wax. You would be hard pressed to find a better wax for $15 and it's available at your local harley stores.

Re: A good book and a good wax (mantic6t9)
try hitting up your local mopar dealership. get some stuff called "paint sealant". that **** is the best stuff in the world. it makes your paint feel like glass and last for years. i think that stuff is over a bill though, but try asking the prep guy if he has some that he wants to sell. he might just give you a bottle or sell you some. it's really good, give it a try.
