    Collinite

    Tried Collinite after reading about how long it lasts, and how well it beads. Used the 845 Insulator Wax on my folks 93 Buick LeSabre (gold). The car has some paint wear, so it isn't an ideal sample, but it went on and came off easily and the beading is quite impressive, shine is more than...

    Today in NYC- land of protests

    It wasn't too bad, but it was wacky enough. Wife and I took a stroll in Central Park late today, wearing our Bush stuff. A few hecklers, one nasty guy, but no danger. So many police there that nothing much was going to happen. Mostly kids who wanted to get their big protest experience like they...

    Deeply concerned for the future

    Hi friends. Tried to dialogue on an AOL chat room tonight about the electon. Virtually no one was listening to anyone else. Mostly nasty attacks on the candidates and on other forum posters. Very mean stuff, little real thinking. How will wise policies be formed, sustained and evolved in this...

Happens intermittently, without warning, sometimes stops after a few minutes, soemties continues for a while. When it happens, the engine computer richens up the mix considerably and...

    ARX rinse cycle - LC question

    We're about 1500 miles into the rinse cycle. Not sure it was worth doing the ARX treatment, engine seemed pretty clean (Honda @40K miles), but did it anyway, can't hurt. Is it ok to add some LC at this point? Will it interfere with the rinse? Thanks, Steve

    Could Neutra be a problem?

    02 Accord V6, 40 K miles. Gas mileage has been very good until recently, started to get erratic, worse on the last two fills. Suddenly had a problem with the engine warning systen, car running rough. Honda shop says problem is malfunctioning EGR valve. They banged on it enough to loosen up...

    Chevy engine cleaning question post LC flush

    Hi friends. My folks have a 90 Chevy Corsica, w/ 3.1 liter V6. Look inside through the oil cap and saw it looked fairly grimy. Oil was very dirty too after less than 3K miles. The car has been maintained fairly well, but oil changes haven't been as frequent as they should have been. Just before...
