A complete guide for any car or truck owner who wants their ride to look, feel, and smell like it did the day they bought it. Years of use will take its toll on a car.

There comes a time when just about every car on the road will need some form of rust or body repair. Quite often, if the car is a daily driver for running errands, repairs are never made, and the car eventually ends up in junkyard heaven.
