RE: Another newbie question...
What really confuses me about fuel is how they actually label gas for cars one specific number.
When you go to purchase aviation fuel, you are buying fuel in a range of like 5 octanes. For example, 105-110. There's no way for a company to get it exactly to one number, so when you buy premium it could be 87, it could be 92, it could be 95.
i don't think it has as big an effect on the engine as some people think.
BUT I only use 92 grade anyway, it's only 20 cents more-COMEON. Don't wanna look cheap.

Just cuz u have money doesnt mean you aren't cheap.
And when I see a dirty jaguar, the first things that come into my mind is there too cheap to wash it or too lazy to clean it themselves.

One thing I can't understand is someone who has a nice car, even a great car and its like **** the whole time, inside n out. Its criminal almost. Then again, maybe if you saw the inside of their houses you'd understand!
Just cleaned the Audi n the X.......[sm=bling.gif]........3 hours n both cars look fab!

RE: Another newbie question...
Last week I hand washed the jag 5 times!
The reason most of those people have money is because they are cheap!
Paying for premium is worth it there WILL be damage done to the car whether it be now or later down the road....plus the cost is just a little over 3 dollars per fill up and if you only fill up say once or twice a week what is the big deal with that? If you think about it also the 3 dollars doesn't change when the gas goes up or down because the premium is always 20cents more...

Does anyone know if you wash your car ALOT do you need to wax it more than 2 times a year. i awsh my car on average 2-3 times a week, and I noticed my wax job only held up for under 4 months. i dont know if soap does something to the wax, or if i just bought bad wax and it doesnt last 6 months.

RE: Another newbie question...
Not sure on that but I love using my Dawn dish soap as it keeps the water beading right off the car! Hey 93 you ever try any of the wax as u dry products out and about? I use to use eagle one's wax as u dry and found it worked great but I haven't seen it in local stores lately I'll have to look harder!

Man that sucks Biggie..........I couldn't imagine only being able to only wash my car once, maybe twice a week[&:].....Then again, with all the rain we get here its unlikely we'll ever have that problem...lol
I love being out n about in it when its just been cleaned........love the envious looks too.
Hate it when its dirty with brake dust all over the rims an the rear pipes are dirty too[&:]

Nah aquill I never done that. I just had been using turtle wax, and I just follow the instructions. I waxed both our jags once with it, and I decided I will have to upgrade to meguires wax or something. I don't know what the best wax I can get is, but that's what I want.

RE: Another newbie question...
if you wash your car more than once a week your wax will loose its integrity. I usually wax a car every 3 months or so. They say you only need to wax a car once a year but it seems to be an urban legend. I have yet to see a wax job on a car last that long and still look decent
