I take it you know exactly when and where I'm driving when that's happened to make that statement?

Yes, but the most important part of what you said is "do a full show quality detail". If the average person strips off all protection and then is too tired to go through all the steps of removing grime, polishing, waxing, they risk causing further damage to the paint.

Take a look at an S-Class Mercedes. They don't come with cross drilled rotors from the factory to save a few grams of weight. Why do you think cross drilled rotors don't vent? They vent quite well, the whole purpose is to dissipate heat and that's why brake fade is reduced. Better pads and tires can make you stop…

I wasn't suggesting people who drive Camrys, Accords, Fiats or any other "commuter" vehicle run out and buy performance rotors. But when you have 300+HP and get moving quick you'll need good stopping power that doesn't fade easily. Let me put it this way, if your car has H rated or lower tires, you needn't worry about…

It's also possible they didn't follow the break-in procedure correctly. To be fair "normal" brake pads on normal rotors can dust a lot as well. It all depends on what the pads are made of.

I did say sporty car, not someone's Toyota Camry. Besides those cars are grounded to the ground they don't need anything else.

Very little surface area is removed and you gain braking performance through heat loss. I agree softer compound tires will help not just stopping, but cornering and launches.

If you're replacing your rotors a rubber mallet can help knock that sucker loose.

Good brakes/rotors

I did this on my last car. Normally, very easy to do especially if you get a quality part as it would have been tested for proper clearance.

Washing your car with dishwashing soap is akin to stripping all the enamel off your teeth. I'd rather not risk using that on the paint unless nothing else seems to work, but you could use it on the wheels to get brake dust and other grim off. Just be sure you spray some tire spray or foam to recondition the rubber.…

I wouldn't give up a body part, but you're right many jobs are 8-5 and you have to get there early enough to get ready for the work day because at 8am your customers expect you to serve them. Then you factor in the average commute for medium to large cities and you're now looking at people who had to wake up in the 5…

Better yet, don't do it because then you'll be expected to return emails at all hours of the day. Once you set the precedent that you'll "work" during non-working hours, people will expect it.

Yes, and at Walgreens you can stack Mfg coupons with Walgreens coupons, then you combine deals like that with other deals that earn you extra balance points (Walgreens reward card) and you got more money being knocked off the checkout price. It's all about hitting those deals at the right time. Buy stuff at regular…

I really wish they would add all of the Regular Show seasons.

Like this?

I've noticed Netflix has not been looking too good as of late and I'm pretty sure AT&T U-Verse is to blame. When I watch stuff from Amazon or M-Go is all looks great in HD, but I move over to Netflix and it varies from pixilated to ok. I've run speed tests from the computer with the worst wireless performance in my…

I do laugh at that, because the answer is always wait. Technology isn't stagnant and even if it was marketing would make sure you wanted the next new thing. Unless you're looking for a specific hardware feature or function that's not already addressed by current hardware, get what you like.

Or if you don't have wax paper handy you could use car wax to give it a protective wax coating as well.
