I got a scratch today from a plant (it had needles), and I'm not sure the best way to deal with it. It seems to have gone into the color, but I only saw it in the dark. Is there a good product for covering thin scratches?

Airforce - 6 years

Those are the major ones with a couple of other companies in the middle.


I also do alot of work on cars. So if anyone needs something installed I will do it for cheap.

 

In my previous life I worked at a mustang shop. Stock they can go from 190ish rw to 220ish. Don't be fooled by a stock looking and sounding mustang though, they could surprise you. Heads, cams, all kind of parts are so cheap and redilly available who knows what you have.

 

Car covers are not worst. Quality ones at least. That is why I said it s to be put on RIGHT after you've washed it only. I never said microscratches would lower the vehicles value. It'll just look like **** to see microscratches/swirls. For most people they tend not to care nor notice anyways. And the california car duster. I would not trust that thing wiping dust off. I know its not the same but I barely had someone wipe there finger off the dust of my vehicle. And it marred my paint just cause of that. I know the duster isn't as aggressive but still. I still wouldn't trust it. And if you do develop the tons of trillions of swirls and scratches, it is definitely not the easiest detail job (if you don't do it yourself, 8-12 hours..it'll cost you 200$-350$). Not only that it'll cut down on the clear coat as well.

 

Is there anywhere near Dallas that sells aftermarket lighting type accessories, such as LED bulbs, HID bulbs, HID kits, etc? I know I can get them on ebay, but I always feel better seeing the thing first, and I hate waiting for stuff to ship.

 

Dog poo > Mustangs

 

there is a audio/video/wheel place on the service road of south bound 75 just before belt line, that might have something, never been in there but maybe

 

I have a buddy in FTW who does retrofitting & what not. He might have some stuff lying around. Anything specifically you want?

 

Ok cool, might look into that.

Well I wanted to get new DTRL LED bulbs, they are 7440/7443 type, and that led to possibly new HID D2S bulbs in 6000K, and then maybe 6000k fog kit, H8 type bulb.

 

I have a buddy who sells them locally. They are extremely bright & cheaper then online. Give me a PM. We can even meet up to show you what they look like. I changed out my rear license plate bulbs. And my front city lights.

They aren't 7440/7443 type though. They are 194/164 bulbs I believe.

 

If that doesn't work out, I'll call my buddy.

 

^^^^^^ + 1

 

anyone know a good electrician in fort worth, looking to replace a breaker in breaker box...

 

Well I beat one anyways. I thought I was going to get demolished seeing the motor was a 5.0L (or 4.9L rounded up).

 

Are you sure he was racing you ??? Maybe you were in a race with yourself & you won. Good job any whoot Q.

 

Possibly. He was my co-worker lol. He took me for a ride in his car. It redlines at 5000, and the speedometer tops out at 85mph.

 

Honestly, I'd rather just use the CCD. It hasn't done anything to my car (although mine doesn't exactly have the best paint) and when I used to use it, it got the job done.

Damn, Q. If you're looking at your paint and noticing marred paint after somebody touches it with their finger, you're WAY too OCD. It's just a car, man. But then again, your car's paint does look much nicer when it's been taken care of all its life.

 

7440/7443 is what I need for the front DTRL. However, 194 would work for reverse lights. Only thing is I have a backup cam, and I need the reverse lights to be bright enough that I can see what I am about to back into.

 

Its just a car indeed. But I love my car hehe. More then the average joe. Yeah I do believe I'm really OCD. I keep a bottle of quick detailer + mf towel in my glove box. I quick detail little dust, bug splatter, bird poop off immediately as soon as I see it. I religiously wash every saturday morning. Sometimes I don't like how OCD I am. But it feels really great when your car is clean (to me). Yeah it sucks that I see marring, scratches, and swirls really easy. Not only that but white is hard to spot swirls, silver also. Sucks cause everytime I look at the car, I look at its paints condition, how well its been kepted, and washed now. But when you can't see swirls, straight up reflection, its amazing. I love it. I like the fact that I kept my old 1995 acura integra in better shape then my brothers like 2003 acura tl. All because I washed it and took care of it often.

You really do not want to know how OCD I am, cause that isn't even close .

My prep for the religious car wash routine. Hehe.

Edit: The Megs Gold Class on the left in first pic and the blue towel on the right in second picture aren't what I use.




I feel bad cause I probably over-do it. No wonder the family thinks im crazyy!
