Which foam gun is this? I want to buy one but I don't want to mistakenly get the foam cannon.

I'm using the 5.5 pads. I'm still seeing fine scratches and swirls. I'll try working in smaller sections and doing a test spot with a white pad and SIP or WG finishing glaze the next time I get chance. Any advice on the marring with the clay bar? Is it normal for black paint to be easily...

The forecast said it was cloudy all day so I decided to polish my car. I have a Black Sapphire Metallic BMW and I heard black cars are very hard to maintain and correct. I didn't realize it until today... After washing the car I began to clay the hood. I had some difficulty claying the car. The...

anyone?

I'm thinking of buy a used car that's been put through the Restore FX. I've never heard of it on here on AG. Seems like a permanent coating like Opti-Coat. Anyone here know more about this product?

I've passed by a few gas stations including Mobil but the car wash was closed. Do they usually close when it's -13 degrees Celsius? I'm thinking of going to a coin wash just to spray it but I don't want the water to freeze on my car. The car is just so dirty and I usually spray it down at the...

Hi guys does anyone know if a touchless car wash around this area? I'm new to the area and all I see are soft touch car washes

Also my engine was hot when I did this. Didn't occurred to me until I actually sprayed the cleans on the engine. I guess it didn't do any harm. Do any of you guys clean the engine when it is hot or do you let it cool for an hour or two before cleaning it? It was hard to access some areas. I...

Just came back from the coin wash and power wash the engine bay. Used ZEP heavy duty citrus degreaser, Optimum power clean 3:1, and Gunk engine degreaser and got most of the oil off. I was a bit weary spraying the degreasers in front since they belt was sitting right there. Would if be harmful...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I really appreciated. I got OPC and ZEP Citrus Degreaser so I'll try them both. I'm thinking I'll have to hit it a few times before it gets all clean. Going to use some old tooth brushes and some cheap brushes from the local dollar store and go at it when I get a...

I have an oil leak and going to replace the gasket but wanted to clean this up first and would like some tips on how to do this effectively. Here are some pictures I took. Just wondering how you guys would tackle this job? I was planning to just use ZEP CD but not sure if that will get it all...

Here are pics of my seats. One of them is the cracked ripped worn driver side and the other the passenger. Starting to wear

I noticed the passenger side leatherette (fake leather) seat is showing some wear and I want to prevent it from cracking like the driver side. I'm currently using 303 aerospace and Car-PRO PERL diluted. I wipe down the interior monthly with water and put on either 303 or PERL but seems like this...

Awesome write up. Going to read the rest later but I've read up to the coolant change. I have two full size jacks so I usually jack the car up from the jack pad on the side until I can get my other jack under the central jacking point. Not sure if you mention this but I recommend getting a torch...

I'm guilty of using it again for the next time if I didn't miss any spots on the car during my wash. Just wondering for you guys that store your towels in plastic containers; do you bag them also? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
