Meguiar's 205 removed clear coat etching from bird dropping! The Meguiar's M205 worked like a charm. I gave 3-4 cycles of rub in/ clean off and the etched stain is only 'very slightly' visible at a single angle in direct sun light. For all intense and purposes, it is gone. Also, the 'roughness...

Glad I heard here to not use the Meg's Ultimate Compound I had just bought! At least until trying M205 (and several times if it seems to be making progress). For once, procrastination turned out to be prudent patience. :D The M205 should be here in a few days. EDIT:I Googled and reusing...

I'll order some M205. Good to know it is steps milder/less coarse (≈4) vs. Ultimate Compound (≈8 ) on one scale I found. I wonder where tooth paste falls in coarseness scale. I found this scale helpful, though there are variables they say...

The first 3 pics are of just trying Meguiar's cleaner wax (Sunday), which had no effect on the spot. Luckily it it is not in a really noticeable place like on the hood or in the middle of a door or fender. It is it is on the side of the back bumper, just before it curves to the back...

Is there a good cleaner wax or something to fix (apparent) clear coat damage from bird dropping left on too long? Would clay bar work here (I just thought of this)? Something available from a local store would be preferred as I have time today to work on this. Wax was depleted and car was...

Can you describe where this hook is and what it looks like? I do not see any hook in your two pics. Where exactly is it?

What tint lever is on your door windows? We all know the front plate and tint laws (NO tint legal on front door windows or windshield in CA), so we take the risks we are comfortable with. My tint guy told me that 50% tint on front doors will 'usually' not attract a ticket. You go 35%, your risk...

My wife and I watched my BluRay copy of Bullit last night. Fun. I had not realized there was a full biographical 'extra' on it about Steve McQueen's life and history. So much I did not know about him. It was very interesting. He was a hero of mine from a young age. I graduated 8th grade in 1968...

Listening to compressed audio I mostly listen to XM and Pandora. I believe XM's compression is pretty strong, so not supplying a very good signal source. I have no idea if Pandora's is much if any better. With such poor signal quality, would I even hear much better sound quality with an...

Good to know Ruby Red would not show dirt less than DIB (which silver or white are great at). Glad I can finally 'let that go'. LOL :thumbsup:

I was vacationing down under around Christmas time many years ago. We stayed with friends of ours that we were traveling with in Cairns. One of my funniest (dumbest is more accurate) memories is when I said to our hosts: "It must be weird having Christmas when it's warm out!" Of course as soon...

What head unit brand and model will you go with and why did you choose it over others? (a link would be cool ;o) Thanks

If you are at CES, snap some pics or it didn't happen! ;o)

In May of 2015 they said maybe by end of the year (2015). Notice that they do not say they are even working on a kit! I think they must not be due to all that is involved, cost and reliability concerns.

As has been mentioned before, and that I now do, is to use an ≈ 2' long 2x4 as a defacto jacking rail. Just butt the 2x4 against the inner edge of the pinch weld, jack from the center, then place your jack stands. In the back, I actually put the jack stands under my convertible's flat sub frame...

My wife and I both use Waze and love it. Besides alerting to police, early on when I heard Waze warn me that the intersection ahead was camera controlled... I was sold on Waze! ;o)

I never went to the trouble to do the passenger side as I (almost) never sit there. As far as how much clearance I now have... When I wear a baseball cap where the overlaping velcro straps are at the back of my head, that is enough thickness to bug me just a little. :headbonk:

Has anyone heard an update from Schosche on a planned bezel kit release plan or date? Last time I asked in May of 2015, they said not sure but maybe by end of 2015. That meant it was not even in their plans.... but it could happen. :doh: I wonder if it still is not in their plan due to being...

Another option, great. Did your mod move the headrest to a place you really like, or somewhat lees obnoxious but liveable? How far would you guess the headrest's head contact point moved back? Thanks for posting this alternative method.

Pablo, $300 for the stripes and installation? If not, how much for installation? Did they tell you or can you ask what brand of stripe they found that had the fade? What types of shops to do look for that do stripes well?
