    Has anyone used ONR or UWW+ on matte paint?

    Glad to hear ONR is safe for matte! I bought the 128 oz/gallon size and would hate to let it sit unused given how great it's been for my current glossy car. I'll email Ultima directly and see what they say about their product. I'll admit that liability form is intimidating, but I've read enough...

    Has anyone used ONR or UWW+ on matte paint?

    I'm about to order a matte white or grey car (paint is called designo Magno Grey/Cashmere), and I'm wondering whether I can use the ONR or UWW+ bottles that I have? Apparently matte paint needs simple car soap and water without any agents to increase shine as used on gloss paint cars. Also, any...

    Help on washing this gunk off paint? Included pics.

    I need help on how to wash the following two cars without marring the paint. 1) The first 2 pics are the lower panels of a silver car. I've used undiluted Zep Citrus, Simply Green, and OPC. Neither makes a difference with several minutes of dwell time, regardless of my wash media. I can only...

    Must leather be absolutely clean before applying conditioner/protector?

    I did. It really helped get grime out because the seats are perforated.

    Must leather be absolutely clean before applying conditioner/protector?

    I first wiped everything down with a damp terry towel. That removed a lot of dirt. Next, I used Leather Masters Strong Cleaner to go over my leather twice. The white MF applicator was filthy brown/gray after the first swipe. The 2nd applicator turned lighter gray. I thought it was clean enough...

    Up Close & Personal: Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax

    I love ONR v3. I want to buy this version, but there are still too few reviews unlike its predecessor. Would like to hear more from those who've tried it.

    Is the Sponge dead?

    I'm the opposite. Sponges were popular back in the 90s, and by the early 00s I thought they were dead. However, around 2009 with the rise of ONR and the rediscovery of sponges, I don't think they're dead. Right now I prefer to use the Lowe's Proline Tile & Grout Sponge. It rinses dirt faster...

    [Coated leather care] Leather Masters vs. LTT?

    You posted this (see excerpt below) 2 years ago. Can the Sonax Leather Foam somewhat compete against LTT's Auto Ultra Maintain because it's also a 1-step cleaner+protector? Where does 1z Leather Care or Optimum Leather Protectant (aka OPP) fall among leather cleaner+protectors? Also, can you...

    [Coated leather care] Leather Masters vs. LTT?

    :urtheman: WOW!!! Thank you so much. I cannot convey how useful, detailed, and astronomically helpful this post was. Leather care has always been a somewhat opaque industry to me. For a week, I researched posts on several forums (from posts dated 2008 til 2012) on as much I could about Leather...

    [Coated leather care] Leather Masters vs. LTT?

    Can someone please give a detailed review between these two and each of their products? There is one member on here 'mg6045' whose input I've also asked since he has used both. I've searched over 50 threads on AG, Autopia, Detailing World, but I can't find a definitive post comparing and...

    What's NEW @ Autogeek - January 2013

    The Mothers LeatherTech Foaming Wash seems very interesting. I currently use Leather Masters "Strong Cleaner" and "Rapid S Cleaner" pump bottles since TOGWT and others have said recommended them for coated leather maintenance. This Mothers foam cleaner looks like it competes against LM...
