Maintenance & Repairs - November 2006

I washed and waxed the hood of my '97 Monte Carlo with Turtle Wax Super Hard Shell Car Wax. I applied it with a 100% cotton cloth. I let it dry and then removed with a microfiber and then a 100% cotton cloth. The hood feels perfectly smooth and shiny like I wanted, but you can still see streaks left by the Turle Wax, the car has been taken good car of and the paint and clear coat are still like new on the hood. Any ideas on how to get rid of those streaks for the perfect shine?

Well my tranny is busted and when I put it in Drive it slips completely on the 3rd of 4th gear. When I put it in "2" it drives perfect, but what are ALL the bad things that does to your car?

Also, how much should I sell this car for? Its a 1990 Chevy Blazer in fair condition, also need blinkers.

I have a 1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra with app.120,000 miles. Just the other day it started to squeak when I acelerated, almost like bird chirping, and then tonight another thing happened. I was idling outside of a store for abot 4 minutes, then turned the vehicle off. Next thing I know I hear a bubbling/boiling sound, opened my hood and saw that my engine coolant was EXTREMELY hot, and from where I was I could see it was somehow leaking onto the inner part of my front right tire and onto the ground, but could not see from where.....

Any information/suggestions will be greatly appreciated
thankyou

Twice my '06 Civic had trouble starting after it had been off for a long time. Would just try to turn over, and eventually it would start. Battery seems fine.

is??? My car is a "2001" model and it runs on petrol/LPG. When the car is turned on all the lights come on such as the battery light, handbrake, oil and so on, but the car won't click over to start. It has this problem sometimes. On some days the car will start and on other days the car won't start.

Guess I'm too old. I retired two years ago and just got back into auto mechanics for the sake of my 16 year old grand son. Many old things still apply, I've learned a great deal about the newer vehicles, but I've still got a lot to learn
