Posted by admin on Apr-26-2009 under Fun Stuff, Pimp My Ride

What could be more amazing than knowing the exact location of your ride in real time? Mags and wheels are interesting because they make your car look more stylish and elegant, leather seats make the interiors of your car pleasing to the eyes of anyone who rides in it; but what could be more wonderful than live gps tracking?

This one is for real and is perfect if you share your car with someone else like your party-goer brother or your teenage son. With the innovative Global Positioning System or GPS, now you can know the exact speed and location of your ride in real time with just the use of a small remote that’s so small and handy. No need to worry about your kid not answering your calls when it’s past their curfew or your brother who has left his phone at home. Now, you car can be tracked, just like in CSI or Numbers.

With just a little cash out, you can add this gadget to your ride. A GPS is something to brag about; or maybe something to keep as a secret so that tracking becomes even more exciting!

All car owners will reach a certain point when they have to buy replacement tires, electrical car parts and a lot other items to keep their wheels in perfect shape. Sadly, shopping for such items may be a bit boring because most of the time you have to stick to the standards and have only a very few options to consider.

But Shopping for car accessories gives you a different story. It is one of the most exciting things that a car owner should do. With a long list of accessories that you may need, you can certainly own a Porsche like no one else does. However, you should learn to prioritize the accessories according to their importance especially if you are a bit short for money.

If you are in search for Porsche tires to replace the old ones that you have, then include a tire pressure monitor for keeping an eye on your tires. If you just bought new Porsche seat belts, then why not include accessories to enhance your Porsche’s interior design? Seat covers, mats and door accessories would be good products for you to consider.

Look for a shop to get all these and have a stylish Porsche you’ll surely love!

Keep that Showroom Shine

Posted by admin on Jul-10-2008 under Car Maintenance, Pimp My Ride

Any car, no matter how old, will still look good if it is clean and if it still has that perfect showroom shine. Of course, it’s tough to keep that shine even if you normally clean your car well. There are ways to get that shine though, and no, it does not involve a new paint job. It’s all about proper cleaning with the right cleaning products.

First off, use a high-pressure hose or a hosepipe with a powerful jet to rinse the car. Do not use a sponge and just let the water do the cleaning for now. Then, wait for a while as the dirt loosens. After a few minutes, while the car is still wet, spray water over the car again. Then, use a very soft sponge and wipe over all of the car’s surfaces to remove the grit and grime.

Prepare a pre-wash mix, using (if possible) purified water and a car pre-wash product for perfect results. After the pre-wash, it’s time for the main wash. Use high quality shampoo, and then use a harder sponge or cotton cloth to wipe over the car in a circular motion.

After the main wash, it’s time for a rinse. Again, if possible, use purified water to rinse the shampoo out. Dry it with a chamois cloth, and after that, the car is all clean.

Finally, to get that perfect showroom shine, apply polish lightly, and then buff off. And voila, the car’s paint job will look brand spanking new.
