Celebrating The First Anniversary of Our Online Presence

Syd's Eastside Auto Parts, Used Cars & Rebuilders has now been online at http://www.SydsAutoParts.com for over a year. Our website has grown and expanded with our business.

Syd's Eastside Auto Parts, Used Cars & Rebuilders had previously been online for 8 months or so prior with a packaged website that allowed visitors to search our inventory, but didn't allow e-commerce and wasn't customizable. Interest in our auto parts offerings quickly grew and that's why we created our own custom professional website with full search capabilities cross indexed for interchangeable parts and full, secure e-commerce capabilities.

In the past year we have added website functionality and expanded our business:

1. Added licensed Hollander Interchange cross-indexing to show all available interchangeable parts across makes, models and years in our Online Auto Parts Search Results.
2. Continued to keep and maintain an up-to-date catalog of our available Used Cars and Trucks For Sale offers online through the website.
3. Added E-Commerce functionality with a secure Shopping Cart for online auto parts shopping.
4. Offered New Aftermarket Auto Parts through our toll-free ordering service.
5. Added a Featured Parts & Products Showcase to allow us to highlight some of our available tools and products, as well as showcase our new and used auto parts.
6. Expanded our business to offer Aftermarket Caterpillar Diesel Engine Parts.
7. Added a section for our Heavy Equipment & Machinery offerings.

Remember that we are no longer just a salvage yard and now offer new aftermarket automotive parts and aftermarket Caterpillar diesel parts.

We look to further expand our product and service lines further to better accomodate our customers in the future. We certainly hope that you will be pleased with the results.

Thanks to our customers and suppliers for our past and continued success!

Tail Light Clear Coat Polish

So today as a learning project to fixing the crack lines on my spoiler clear coat in the future, I decided to fix up my Tail Light Clear Coat that took the abuse of a Canadian Winter and salt and looked dull and had the same crack lines.

Before picture of the tail light:



You see the lines and how dull it is. Hence why I took them off the car and put my all reds back.

My weapons of choice:
3m Swirl Remover (get it here!) and 600 grit Sandpaper:

Mothers Powerball (get it here!):


So wet sand the clear coat down to remove imperfections and for me I used 600 grit as anything higher would not remove the lines / cracks that were in my clear coat:


Remember! if you sand to far you may remove all the clear coat. Keep checking to make sure you don't completely remove the clear coat.

Once it is sanded and you see the cracks / lines gone and it looks smooth, its time to use the swirl mark remover:

Here it is on the sanded part of the tail light:

I used too much here I think, but oh well :)

Then use the Mothers Powerball to shine those tails up real nice.

Here's two pics of how clear they are:




Here's three pics showing the difference in Before and After:
