DAILY DRIVER- Car/Truck Talk/Help

The chrome rims on my daily have some staining on them. If you rub really hard it comes off. Looks a lot like a water stain but it is not. I think it is just from use. What do you guys use for cleaning chrome rims?

Recently I purchased a 2008 truck with electronic rust control. I am unfamiliar with this type of rust control. The truck appears to have no rust anywhere but I was told that one rocker panel was replaced because of rust. Should I rely on the electronic or should I get the standard spray in the future ?...

We were talking about my dads cars from the 50's and 60's last night. I recall that after he bought a car he would get in the mail an ad for custom made plastic seat covers to keep that interior like new (for the next guy of course). It seems to me the company was from Cornwall or that area but I cannot recall...

Had my '06 Chev pick up safetied two weeks ago. Then a couple of days ago both head lights stopped working. Changed bulbs and all is good. My dash lights go dim and bright by themselves for a while now, just live with it. Wondering if having both bulbs blow at the same time is bad luck or a symptom of a larger p...

I’m a retired mechanic and I still do as much maintenance on my own vehicle as I can, oil changes, brakes, the kind of stuff that doesn’t need a computer.

This is probably way out there but,,, I gotta ask. Would a 1991 350 GMC full size van Y pipe actually bolt into a 1993 GMC V6 1/2 ton ? I've heard of weirder things.

Had my MDX in for regular service and was told that the trans cooler part of the rad is rusting out and will need to be replaced. At what they wanted for the service, i'm willing to take it else where to get another estimate. Anyone recommend a shop in the GTA that does reliable work on Canadian Import?

Seems to me I read somewhere that you can programme a new key fob ( when your daughter breaks both keys off that you had) i pieced back the shanks and had a key cut for $2 and just taped the fob to the column to get by and it works. Cost of new key/ fob from stealership is $175 plus tax. reprogramming is $50 char...
