Question: how do I get rid of the sprinkler stains??? no matter how much i wash my car, the dots are still there if you look closely or directly under the sun. it looks bad Sad ugh. any ideas? i'd really appreciate it.


To protect your ride from water spots, sealants can help with that issue
Many sealants work by preventing water droplets from beading up the car
instead, the water sheets away from the car, preventing water droplets from forming.
Dry your car in a cool, dry place.
One way that you can prevent water spots from forming is to not dry it under the sun.
To minimize damage from heat and light, dry your car under the shade of a tree or inside your garage.
Water spots may seem harmless, but they actually to cause damage to the exterior finish

Try this Mirror Glaze Pro Polymer Sealant

You can also use this thread Official Automotive Detailing Thread

Hope this helps Embarassed

Im planning on tinting a couple parts on my car (e.g. signal lights, head lights and possibly tail lights.)
How do I go about doing it on curved surfaces so that it doesnt bubble up and look un-professional?

Soap and water solution in a spray bottle, wet the surface, make sure your tint is ready and pre cut...
apply the tint to the surface, have a lil squeegee ready to dry out any water from underneath the surface
(between the surface and the tint, once its applied)
also use a hair dryer or heat gun to air out the surface to prevent bubbles....all while squeeging the water out
Be sure not to hold the heat gun to close.

trying to a 'diy' cause i know i can probably get the same stuff in that kit for a fraction of that price..

so im really looking for the tools and other items i need ex: switch, wires, etc and the tutorial for it.

That kit is what, like $40 retail......how much cheaper do you wanna get ?
It comes with instructions and everything....
??????

Just find out what your vehicles ignition wires are (color) splice in the switch with those
Power and ground, that's bout it....
Electrical tape, wire strippers, tie straps for any loose wires....
Possibly a drill to make a cut out for the switch.

wow, i didn't know the kits were so cheap.. i think ima do it on my car now Thumbs Up
but for some reason push start+stick sounds odd for some weird reason Neutral

Why do people use kill switches ? i know its so you can shut certain parts off without shutting down the whole thing, but why ?
