jack pad slot height by micky
What good is a jackpad with a slot if the slot is not deeper than the thing it holds? Isn't the idea that the weld area fits completely in the slot and the car is supported on either side of the slot? I accidentally came across a jack pad with a slot in it, so the weld line on unibody cars...

Do the Toyota Camry headlight polishers actually work well? by Danny D.[_4_]
Overall, do those yellowed polycarbonate headlight deoxidizing chemicals or 1600-grit polishing solutions actually work well enough to be indistinguishable from new? We bought for a college kid an older Toyota Camry of the early 2002-2006 model vintage where the polycarbonate on the headlights...

About a year ago, I got a 2006 Buick Terazza, 140,000 miles. It was in good shape, but it needed to be cleaned. I Armor-All'ed the dash, and 2 days later there was a 6 inch vertical crack. I bought a 2014 Chrysler 300 yesterday. The salesman told me not to use Armor All as it will crack the...

How many of you carry a 2nd copy of your car keys and fob, when you're in town? When you go out of town? Before I had a fob, I carried a second car key for 10 or 20 years, but I stopped a while ago. I have a spare housekey and carkey buried in my yard somewhere, but I've never trusted magnetic...

Junk/salvage question by Michael[_23_]
The used car dealer tells me that the 4 junk/salvage notes in the car's records are because it went through an insurance auction. Could this be the case, or should I run from this deal as fast as possible? Thanks, Mike
