Removal of IS Waterspots

One Step Product. A product that includes a light cleaning/polishing action and a wax (synthetic sealant). I've been using Meguiars #21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0. There are others. I use my Porter Cable 7424XP and a green Lake Country pad to apply it. Year after year I've been happy with the...

For a daily driver I recommend a OSP. The car will get dirty and collect small scratches. I find twice to three times a year keeps my daily driver looking great. I've often had to clay the first time I wax. After that it's unusual for me to have to do anything other than a quick wax with a...

What an awesome time! Great cars, great people and a great instructor. I can't wait to try out some of the things I learned.

I've also purchased a Craftsman Heavy Duty Rubber 5/8 hose at Sears. It's worked for me over the past 15 years. I added an Ames hose self tracking hose reel that I got a Home Depot. As long as it's above 32 degrees I'll wash my car. That also means I've destroyed a lot of hoses over the...

I recently purchased this brush and I've used it once so far to clean my wheels. I have a 09 Corvette Z06 with the Spider wheels. What I liked was it allowed me to do a good job getting the brake calipers clean. I've been struggling with just a rag and that wasn't working too well. I also...

I'd be interested in a product for Stainless, like the exhaust on a Corvette.

Nothing beats washing your car by hand. It takes a little time, but the results beat anything you can get in an automated car wash. I also notice that my wax jobs don't last near as long when the car gets run through a car wash. For me it is worth the effort, but I am lucky enough to have a...
