Written and directed by SU professor Wesley Savick, this is the story of Rusty Fenders (owner of a terminally ill 93 Kia), Miata C. LaChassi, and the Wizard of Cahs (thats cars la Boston), an 8'x6' puppet made entirely of car parts that speaks in the recorded voices of the Magliozzis. The show also features exploding toy cars. It has a Forbidden Broadway feel, says Kat Kingsley, president of the Unorthodox Arts Foundation , which created the trick cars. Theres even a (toy) helicopter and a falling chandelier, and it all unravels in a garage that does tricks. Not to force a concept too much, the beat-up car that is falling apart, but is nonetheless beloved, is the metaphor for Rusty and his messy midlife crisis, so the garage serves as both the repository of discarded dysfunctional car parts and the potential, though with a price, of repair and rebirth, says scenic designer Richard W. Chambers. This would have been difficult on any timeline, or in any

Car washing tips???

I realize hand washing a car is best but I just don't have the time. I use only do it yourself car washes because the automatic car washes don't do a good job. What is the best way (and in what order) to get a car really clean and shiny with these options:
-Tire and Wheel Cleaner
-Presoak
-Brush Foam (I try not to use this cuz I've heard it could scratch if there is trash in the brush)
-Soap Wash
-Rinse
-Wax
-Spot Free Rinse
The fact is, you can only get your car relatively clean with self serve wand wash. you won't be able to get it shinny without hand washing. trying to do it with wand wash would just be a waste of time and money. expecially if you have a black or white car.
I hand wash whenever i can. But if i don't have time or when the weather is bad, I use wand wash.
When I do wand wash, I simply Soap Wash the whole car from top to bottom and then Rinse from top to bottom. Takes me 3 mins to wash. And then I pad dry my car with a dedicated clean soft towel. Car comes out relatively clean. Looks shinny from a distance.
Mind you that I very rarely get my car extremely dirty before I go for a wash. And waxing your car regularly will make washing easier.
You're correct not to use the brush.

Thats a pretty good order but I usely on presoak hit the brush really good to get the crap out of it

Go check out some of the new tunnel washes in your area, We have one called fastlanes, they charge $5.00 for the basic wash, which includes hand drying. $9.99 to wash/vacum/tires and wheels. If you reallly stop and think about it on how much you really spend on cleaning supplies and the cost of washing your car. This isn't that bad of a deal.

Always do the wheels/tires last. When drying, start with the roof and work downward, as there tends to be small dirty bits around the wheel wells and rocker panels.
I dry inside the doors/trunk/hood/gas cap too, since dirt gets in there too!
Have fun!

The biggest mistake people make when washing their cars is not using a product that's specifically formulated for automotive paint.
Dishwashing detergent is way too aggressive for automotive finishes, particularly clear coats. The common misconception is that clear coats serve as armor plating.
What most people don't realize is that clear coat is simply unpigmented paint. Because automotive paint color is made with metals, clear coat is actually softer than the color coats.
So, choose a car-wash product that's either clear-coat safe (made with lubricants that prevent scratching) or blended specifically for your car's type of paint.
Car-wash-specific products also contain conditioners that bring out the paint's shine.
1. Always park the vehicle in the shade and allow the body to cool to air temp. This increases evaporation time, which decreases the probability of water spots. If possible, park on an incline to help water drain from recesses and trim pieces.
2. Hose off loose debris with a firm spray of water.
3. Mix the suds according to the product's recommended proportions: too much car-wash chemical in the mix can leave a residue, cause streaks, and cut short the wax's useful life.

Automatic car wash wax? Is that a gimmick or what?
Apr 06, 2010 by Mr. Ish | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I try to wash and wax my vehicles by hand regularly. Recently I took my car to an automated car wash, in order to get the undercarriage and tire and wheel cleaner you need level up which includes "three color wax". Now watching the pretty colors of foam sprayed on and then simply rinsed off didn't impress me. How much of this stuff is real wax, and if anything, what does it do?
well its car wax, makes it nice and shiny, covers everything, including all the windows too. (I hear the formulation is better now, years ago, once on the windows, the first good rain you were literally blind, until the wipers managed to cut through the yuck, which may have been interesting after however many coats.
I used to detail cars, and you can tell sometimes the people who used the car washes often, paint would be worn on the front part of the roof, and the trunk sometimes, but just the first few inches all the way across, or sometimes the clear coat would be worn through, and then maybe a layer or two of paint.
But getting the crap polished off the car was a pain, especially for a hand wax job, I would have to work down through layers, it came up on the polishing cloth looking almost like dirty wax. once you got down to where it was the paint color on your work cloth, then you just worked in ever bigger areas, until the stuff was off. some colors, like reds, and whites came out much brighter after rubbing off the car wash wax goo. I am with you, putting goo on the car, is not impressing to me, made a mess over time, and detracted from the true color with dirt too. I believe that three color wax thing may be geared for the kids however, what do you think?

I don't know what the chemical makeup of this stuff is, but it DOES provide a minor level of protection for your paint. It's somewhere between nothing and a good ol' hand wax job. It's better than nothing.
Paul | Apr 06, 2010
Better than no wax, and it is applied as often as you wash your car, but your hand wax with elbow grease is better
jimanddottaylor | Apr 06, 2010
It's not necessarily a gimmick, and is better than nothing, but it's not worth much.
Even meguiars has formulated a wash&wax formula, although I suspect it is better than the one at the automated car wash
http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/detail/MEG +G17748
In my opinon, the automated car washes' residue ends up leaves a "sticky"/grippy surface (just like actual wax, but unbuffed) that seems to hold onto dirt easier.
This means your next car wash will be sooner. This may all be all part of their master plan.

i think that three colored foam is turtle wax..
anyways
like said above
better than nothing
but.. real protection comes from applying a real wax

What do I need to properly wash and maintain my car?
Jul 09, 2010 by - | Posted in Other - Cars & Transportation
I will be purchasing a new car tomorrow. I didn't take such great care of my last one, so this one I want to be perfect. What products and hardware will I need to do this, and how often should I wash?
So far, I'm looking at buying:
1) A foam cannon
2) Power washer to go with the foam cannon
3) An air dryer (may just use my leaf blower instead)
4) Microfiber/Chamois towels to dry
5) Filter, on the hose, to help with water spots.
After this, I'm unsure of what else is needed to maintain the exterior and interior. What detergents, waxes, mitts, sprays, for wheels, windows, interior, etc etc etc, do I need? I want this car to SHINE like a mirror. I plan to buy a high grade car cover, that's breathable, and resistant to water, and other materials, one that won't cause rust.
Suggestions for all of this or will I be overdoing it? I figure, I'm looking at $350-400 range just for the stuff I mentioned above, but if washing my car every week (and multiple other cars I have), it should be worth it right?
1. www.autogeek.net .. they have foam cannons there
2. not too familiar with pressure washers..
3. yea, most people just use leaf blowers..
4. any quality microfibers will do.
5. again, not too familiar..
theres lots of products out there to take care of all that stuff.
a lot of it comes down to personal preference..
head over to the forums at autogeek.net
will get a lot more info there.
meguiars might be a company to look into for products.
good quality that doesnts break the bank.
check out autodetailingsolutions.net
good place to buy meguiars products.
