Replying to: fedlawman (Nov 01, 2007 7:37 pm) Suburu and Mitsubushi, WRX and Evo are a better bang for the buck if someone wants to drive them. The S2000 is amazing on track but is a handful with shorter wheelbase. The 2 4WD cars can be driven what I call 'stupid fast', they go well beyond what new drivers are capable of controlling, hence I've seen several roll/flip at track days. But, the S2000 was simply too small inside for me at this point in my life, much tighter than my '72 MGB for instance. And the other two are just not sporty, IMO, no matter how capable. It is a matter of finding something that tickles your fancy and being happy. Thanks for the good wishes in all cases. I'll try to keep the rubber on the road when I get over to Spring Mt. MSP for the next event. And yes, my wife is a very tolerant woman, in addition to having her own non-track Corvette. Randy |

Has anybody out there tried 5PDCoatings scratch remover? It sounds to good to be true! They claim it takes out swirl marks and scratches with very little effort. My vette is a black daily driver and if this stuff works I would think I died and went to Heaven!

Replying to: vettever (Nov 03, 2007 7:58 am) http://www.tintdude.com/auto-detailing.html I just use a polisher with just a touch of compound - scratch remover, whatever. Buff lightly until the compound burnishes out to a shine with just a light residue of compound left, then remove that with a cloth or towel. Experiment to find the method that works for you. On bad surfaces, I color sand with 1500-2500 wet-or-dry sand paper, then rubbing or polishing compound. Hand waxers may shudder, but it works. Once you get to this point, you can hand wax if you like. If a scratch has gone through the clear coat. there isn't much you can do, although I always wanted to carefully fill one like that with clear coat. and then color sand starting with a block, to get the surface level. Has anyone done this? Other methods/products?

Replying to: 55396 (Nov 03, 2007 9:37 am) I have a 99 C5 and in the next month I am going to strip off all the old wax , clean the paint, clay magic it, and reapply wax. Probably a 2 day project but the car should look pretty good. I find the scratch and swirl removers make for good marketing. just remembered i have to get a new air filter--just did a hard drive thru AZ and Nevada. |

Replying to: vettever (Nov 03, 2007 7:58 am) both our Vette's done a couple times. Whatever he did the last time on my Electron Blue took out the vast majority of the swirls and it looks good, except for the rock chips on the head light covers and hood, not to mention under the door panels. The wife's is Mill... Yellow and always seems to look good. Then again it never runs on race tracks. Zaino has some very good stuff. I use the spray on spot cleaner and it does wonders. Randy |

When I fill the tank on my 2007 C6 it will run over if I try to put any more gas in after it kicks off the first time. Does anyone else have this problem or jut me?
