But I've found cleaning the windows to be a continual exercise in frustration. No matter what products I use or how diligently I go over things, I still see streaks and swirls of dirt. The past few times I've washed my car, I have NOT cleaned the windows...and I haven't really noticed any difference. I don't end up thinking, "Wow, I wish I would have cleaned those windows." Quite the contrary, it seems to me that the not-cleaned windows (other than the inevitable cleaning from spraying them with car wash soap, rinsing, and drying them) are less noticeably dirty than when I go at them with Windex and other such products.Does anyone have an explanation for this? less

The Olds was one of the worst cars I’ve ever owned: it had me in the Part-of-the-Month-Club in no time.~

Your turn.

I'm sure no car expert, but I figure if it's done in the winter, slushy roads, etc., would make it harder for it to dry out, so to speak.so you car folks out there, whaddya think? now or springtime? and let me know the reason for your opinion.I anxiously await your replies!!!!!!!

Lately when I try to apply the brakes, they are mushy and unresponsive. Since this problem began about ten days ago, I have slammed through various stop signs, stop lights, and intersections, I have nearly rear-ended more than a few cars, I have scared pedestrians in crosswalks who thought I was go to bowl them over, when o try to park the car, I have plowed into things such as walls, fences, barriers, and shrubs as if I am driving a battering ram on crack. Looking back a couple weeks, everything was perfectly fine with the brakes. Well, that’s not entirely true. The brakes were squeaking all the time, and day after day it got increasingly worse, increasingly louder, increasingly annoying. It got so bad that I remedied it by spraying globs and globs of WD-40 directly into all of the working parts of the brakes. Every time the squeaking started again, more WD-40. You probably wouldn’t believe how much of it I slathered on there, it was Goo City. I gu... less
