control brake dust

Ive found some advice in maintaining the cleanliness of my chevy and i decided to qoute it for our easy reference. “There are three ways to control brake dust. The first is to clean your wheels frequently (or should I say continuously?). The second is to install dust shields, and the third is to try changing your brake pads.” Related Links: Dustless Brake Pads , Chevy Equinox Brake...

I went with the chevy equinox brake dust shields when I got my new chrome wheels and it reduced the dust by quite a bit although it did not eliminate it. I do not see a loss of stopping power either. Related Links: Brake dust—wheel shields , Chevy Equinox Brake Dust Shields

nerf bar polish

I found a product at the local hardware store named Tarnite. I used it to mirror finish the nerf bars and am pleased with the results. It was not an expensive buy (around $3) and has some protective value. Related Links: Frame Mounting Nerf Bar , Chevy Equinox Nerf Bars

chosen ignition coil

I asked people in our neighborhood if anyone has tried the accel or Screamin demon coil? Or which is the best ignition coil for them..Well most of them says “It’s just a coil of wire, and a steak is just a piece of meat. They’re all the same, right? It certainly doesnt matter who made the coil.” Related Links: Ignition coil choices? , Chevy Equinox Ignition Coil
