Traveling by RV may not be the cheapest alternative if you need a good vacation. However, it does have its perks. You don't need to worry about packing and finding accommodations. I truly enjoyed traveling by RV since I can bring my whole family plus our dog.

As an RV traveler myself, I also needed a reliable fifth wheel hitch for my own trailer. Now is the best time to test these products so that I can buy one, too.

Have you ever looked at your car and thought, “Wow, my car looks drab!” Have you ever debated whether to take it to the car shop to have it repainted?

You may be looking at a damaged clear coat already. There are a few factors why the clear coat is already damaged. Age, a poor paint job, exposure to the elements, and improper cleaning habits are some of the few factors.

There was one time that one of my customers came in with his three-year-old Chevy. It looks very clean and well-maintained. However, I noticed that some areas of the exterior looked like it had been peeled off. The customer said that he had it repainted a few months ago, only to have it come out bad after a few months .Upon closer inspection, it was a bad case of clear coating gone wrong.

Most of the customers who come to our shop have questions about maintaining the glossy look of the car. They are also concerned how to protect the car paint without having to spend more.

As a car owner, I've also wondered how I keep keep my car looking brand new. I have a 5-year-old Chevy which I'm proud of, and I'd like to keep the paint job glossy and sleek.

On my next project, I have decided to check the best spray car wax products in the market. Not only will it be useful for me but for our customers, too.

I recently took on this job of adding clear coat to my car to give it a shiny finish. It was not an easy job because I had to make sure that I cleaned it out very well before applying the finish. Another challenge was finding the perfect finish that will make it look brand new and show a dull finish.

What exactly is a clear coat? In order to choose the best clear coat for cars, it is important that you know what it is. Clear coats are exactly that, clear top coat to add a protective layer to your car. It creates additional shine and also protects against UV rays that makes your car paint fade. Clear coat is also known as 2-stage paint as it is added to the base color coat.

Hopefully, by the end of this article, we have helped you decide on which clear coat is best for your car and removed any misgivings you may have had in applying clear coat.

The idea for this article came about when my friend decided to sell his 10-year-old car. So, he asked me to check the car like I was the buyer and asked me if it was worth the price. I found it pretty well-maintained except for the engine.

I had the chance to carpool with a friend and I learned something new in the process. When he started the car, I noticed that the engine sounded as if the gas pedal was depressed. I looked at the RPM and saw that the idling was at 2000 RPM.

I found that really unusual so I did some research. I found out that one of the reasons for high idling is a problem with the idle air control valve.

Your car’s engine is the life of your vehicle; without it, your car will not function. Car owners should take extra care and make sure that the engines are clean and kept in the best condition.

As time goes by, carbon deposits, sludge, and grime may get in your engines, which affects fuel efficiency and your vehicle’s overall performance. One of the overlooked parts is the intake manifold.

You might be wondering, what is an intake manifold? When I was interviewing people and asking them what they knew about the intake manifold, they had this puzzled look on their faces. That was my first reaction as I was speaking to a mechanic.

Mold is one of the worst things that could inhabit your car. Mold is a form of fungus that forms due to moisture and warm temperature. Since it is a fungus, it is harmful to one’s health and can cause severe allergies even death.

There is one type of mold called black mold or Stachybotrys chartarum and chlorohalonata species, which are fatal even by just inhaling the spores. Be careful when leaving your car out in the open, especially if there is no roof above it.

Have you ever parked your car after a night out with light booze and accidentally scraped your car on the garage door? Have you ever parked your car and then came back to it with scrupulous-looking paint on the side?Alternatively, have you ever been in a minor accident where you or another vehicle came too close to each other?

There is one common effect you get from these mishaps – paint transfers or paint scuffs. Paint transfers, otherwise known as paint scuffs, result when another vehicle or another solid object such as gates or posts scratch against your car.
