  1. Hey Babyfer,

     

    Go over to Home Depot they should have some books on driveways and walkways. You could put down some rocks and make some form of drainage systems for a little of nothing. The rocks (gravel) will probably be the most expensive item, some PVC pipe and a little chewing gum and badabing problem. I know you would like concrete but I want a Vortec Supercharger but don't have the money....Santa are you listening.

    Talk to the guys at Home Depot they can help you.

     

    Good luck

  2. There is a guy here in San Diego that details exotic cars for Concours shows and big $$$$ clients. I've picked his brain a few times and learned quite a bit. He showed me something that blew my mind. He took a digital camera and photographed the hood of a Ferrari that I thought was in pristine condition. He kept blowing up that image and after a few enlargements you could see the swirl marks which I believe he called "spydering". The owner of the Ferrari which was red, used a California Duster.

    When I mentioned California Duster he freaked out and said "never use those things".

    As he explained it to me using the duster just takes the dirt and spreads it across the car adding fine scratches to your paint. Remember that duster is dry and has no lubricant, kind of like low-end sand blasting. Now this is the part that really got my attention, I watched this guy send over two hours with a Porter Cable buff out 1/4 of the hood on the Ferrari. He then took another photograph and blew it up on his laptop....swirl marks were gone. I saw this myself this wasn't a infomercial on TV.

    You may not see the scratches at a glance but if you look closer you'll see them. Get

    yourself a magnifying glass and try the same thing, it might scare you.

     

    Now are some of us anal enough about our cars to do that, YES? But for us show car

    guys who are always looking for a leg up it's just something to be conscious about.

     

    To sum it all up use Adams Detail Spray and a microfiber cloth.

  3. My first product was the Buttery wax, I bought it at a Vette show that I was covering for

    the local news. I put the wax in my garage on my shelf and it stayed there for a few

    months. Finally I decided to give it a try...BOY OH BOY. My Stang was parked in my

    garage and I keep walking out to my garage and saying "damm look at the shine." I

    haven't used any other products besides Adams since. I disposed of the other company's products, who's name I will not mention at the local toxic dump site one

    weekend.

  4. First off nice Vette. I love my Motofloor it's very easy to install and cleans up great.

    I actually laid down my epoxy first then put down the race tiles. With your white Vette

    it would like very cool. I bought the tiles at Costco this summer I must have cleaned them out. Costco sells it a lot cheaper than most places and they actually marked it down to $50.00 a box...great deal. I have a 2 1/2 car garage and it took me 8 boxes to cover my floor, your garage is a lot larger. Just keep one thing in mind your must

    purchase the edging separate to finish the ends. The good thing is the edging comes

    in different colors...like red. I'm such a gearhead. Now all my car buddies want the

    same floor.

     

    Good luck

  5. I did a combination of Rustoleum Epoxy and Motofloor which is the checkered race tile that's available from Costo. My floor looks great and cleans up easily. With the Rustoleum I would suggest putting on a coat of clear, because it did lose the shine after a year. I did hear that U-Coat is nice stuff.

  6. Hey Folks,

     

    Just a quick story, recently my car was in the SEMA show in Las Vegas and a gentleman walked up to me and asked me "who painted your car?" Now this

    is not the first time that someone thought my car had a aftermarket paint job. I simply told him that my car has factory paint and I use Adam's polishes....his jaw dropped to the floor. I then showed him all of my Adam's

    products in my trunk.
