Woah… ordered an R100… received an RXT!

May 19th, 2012

I ordered an R100 with my Kohl’s Credit (only paid $6 out of pocket!!) and it just arrived.

But… it’s an RXT!

So I paid $6 for an RXT. :eek:

My first thought is that I should contact Kohl’s and let them know. I know I’m not under a legal obligation to fix their shipping error. Normally I…

Aston bought the Lagonda marque way back in 1947, but a…

2012 WEC 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps report and 190-shot gallery …

May 17th, 2012

Yesterday the second round of the inaugural FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) was held on the universally-loved Spa-Francorchamps circuit. The event marked the debut of both the hybrid Audi R18 e-tron quattro and the slightly more conventional R18 Ultra. Toyota’s TS030 Hybrid was also scheduled to make its first competitive appearance but a heavy crash during testing forced the Japanese team to change their plans. Despite of several other withdrawals, the WEC 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps attracted a capacity field of 42 entries, spread over four classes. Not surprisingly, rain was expected for all three days but in the end only the morning warm-up on race-day was wet and the race started on a drying track.
As always, we ventured out to the Belgian Ardennes for what is the traditional dress rehearsal for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June. This has resulted in a concise report, illustrated by a 190-shot gallery. In the build-up to Le Mans, you can expect more detailed features about the new and updated cars that were raced at Spa and will race in the 24 Hours.

Duragloss Application tips/method

May 17th, 2012

Hi.. I guess it will be good for me briefly describe the application method in case you have forgotten..

Step 1 Part no #901 shampoo
This shampoo is really foamy..A cap for a big pail of water..If you intend to claybar..go for 2 caps to have more lub..Do not follow instruction..3 caps for a gallon.. You will have foam party..

After washing and rinsing your car.. Dry with a waffle weave or the drying towel you have.. For waffle weave user..each time before you use..soak into water..dry it and you can start drying the car.

Step 2 Part no #101 / #501 polish
Use a micro-fiber applicator..dam applicator with a bit of water..Apply polishes on to applicators.. a size of a 10cent coin is good enough..Apply onto panel..Thin layer.. hazy and cloudy effect is good enough..Avoid circular direction.. Need not use too force to apply unless for stuborn stains.. Apply whole car and wait for 5 minsto haze and you can start buffing off with a MF cloth.

Step 3 #601 PBA
This step is applicable to those using PBA..if you are not using it..You can proceed to step 4. For PBA..it is very transparent..you may not see the hazy or cloudy effect..Thin layer will do..Need not dam applicators with water..

Step 4 Part no #105
Use a micro-fiber applicator..dam applicator with a bit of water..Apply on to applicators.. a size of a 10cent coin is good enough..Apply onto panel..Thin layer… cloudy and hazy effect is good enough.. Haze for about 10 mins and you can start buffing off..

If you wish to apply #951 aquawax.. you may do so but not for #521 or #921 quick detailer.. Quick detailer comes in between washes or for fresh water spot..tree sap or bird poo..

If you have both #951 and #521 .. Use #951 weekly or bi-weekly..for daily use will be #521/#921 quick detailer..If you intend to have a coat of #951 aquawax..you can use #521/#921 QD to clean up surface and proceed to #951 aquawax..If you do not intend to use #951 AW.. Simply go round with QD will do.. Just remember #951 is alway the last step…

Take note..For #951 aquawax.. the result will be better after when is cure..some of use have notice the different on the following day..

Tips
Instead of dam applicators with water for #105..Spray a bit of #951 Aquawax on applicators or panel first follow by applying #105..hehe..dun ask me why..try it and you might see something different.

Or after buffing away #105..you can apply #951 AW on applicator and apply on panel.. apply evenly and walk away..No buffing require.. This steps require little bit of skill..hehe.. or else you will get unbuff AW stick on the panels..

Happy detailing guys n .. feel free to discuss if you have any doubts

2012 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster First Drive: Improved, for the Most Part

May 16th, 2012

Don?t try to make sense of the Aston Martin V-8 Vantage roadster. It?s impractical, a joke of a value, no more powerful than at least a dozen less-expensive sports cars, and the same ergonomic disaster it was before its 2012 (make that 2012.25, according to Aston) refresh. And yet we yearn for it. (more…)
