I&#039;m the guy that buys almost everything from different companys. Because i like the way different products work. But with this site, they have almost everything i use on one site!(except for the japanese products of course) Let me know what you guys think! Maybe you knew about it. Finding thist site even sparked a detaling tutorial idea! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" />...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I thought I would just recommend probably the best wheel repair guy in Southern California. He has already got a reputation for being the best from many owners of high end cars, ie Porsche, BMW, Mercedes etc even Ferraris.<br />
<br />
I read some reviews about him on many forums and decided to try his services. My experience:<br />
<br />
I had ran over a pot hole and damaged one of my wheels that I had bought new about a year ago, totally pissed me off. So I tried one of those DIY repair kits you find on eBay...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ONR or Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine is what I normally use to wash my car. It works really good if your just washing off a couple days of dust or a couple weeks of grime. Shit works! And it&#039;s really easy to use. And best of all you only need 2 gal of water! You can also mix it different ways to get quick detailer, clay bar lube, and a couple other things. What&#039;s also nice is if it&#039;s cold outside you won&#039;t freeze your hands off fucking around with spraying water all over the place. Anyway,...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Alright, well i debadge my car and i want to put the &quot;Honda&quot; word emblem on my car. They&#039;re used that i scored from a friend, so that means it doesn&#039;t have that glue on the back of it. I was wondering if i could just buy some strong glue at the store or something. If so, what brand do you guy&#039;s recommend?<br />
<br />
Also, if any of you guy&#039;s know where i can get the original &quot;Integra&quot; word emblem for my 91 Da or if you guy&#039;s just happen to have one, i would be more then happy to take it off your hands....<br />
