In the mid-60's, when I was in college, I had a '62 Chevy Impala Convertible that I had purchased new a couple of years before (wish I still had that car now!). After washing and "detailing" the car a few day before the way I used to i.e.: dishwashing detergent wash, family bath towel dry, and...

Haven't tried it yet, but I understand from a recommendation made to me for a similar question that simple Isopropyl Alcohol is very effective for removing old wax from trim. Couldn't paste a "clickable" link, but, if you do a search, there are articles.

Frankly, I haven't waxed any of my cars in a long time. I buy them new, don't generally keep them very long, don't put too many miles on, and they stay in the garage when they're not being driven. I do wash them regularly by hand (recently using Meguiars), and rarely drive in bad weather...

Ugh!

Although I've used it only once, I was also very pleased with the results after applying Leatherique. Much, much better results than some other products I've used! However, like you, I also found it to be a little inconvenient and time consuming to wait the better part of a day to get the...

While we're reminiscing, remember the days when you washed the car with dishwasher detergent and dried it with the family bath towels. Didn't start using Armor All until years later.

Given those 2 choices, I'd choose the sun. There can't be too much difference between parking in the sun and driving in the sun, and who doesn't drive in the sun?

About 40 years ago after a few beers, a bunch of us got together to spray paint a buddy's old VW with a can of paint I recall we purchased at Montgomery Ward, but he wasn't too appreciative, and I wouldn't recommend that idea!

I've been thinking about getting some floor mats to dress up one of our cars a little and, after a little searching, it seemed that almost everyone was cheaper than Auto Geek, either for the price of the mats alone, the shipping, or both. So, I looked around for the absolute best deal I could...

By way of closure to this thread, I ordered and received the Clear, Protector Floor Mats from Lloyds today. The quality seems adequate. The fit does seem customized, but it isn't exact to the original floor mats, falling a little short on some edges and going a little off of other edges. The...

There's water beading and then there's water beading. Don't think I've EVER seen water bead like the pic that yakky posted. Yikes!!

I recently used RaggTopp on my '89 Mercedes 560SL fabric top and was very satisfied, but I'm also a fan of 303 products.

Just applied all 3 phases (cleaner, glaze, wax) to a recently purchased, gently used '89 MB 560SL with only 26,000 miles. Paint and overall condition is really nice, but the Mother's system really made it pop. Phase 3 is just as you say...wipe on, dry to haze, remove! Viola! A little goes a...

As I recall, last year, before the September "meltdown", the Red Sox were very much in contention and, during his 8 year tenure, Terry Francona guided them to 90 or more victories during 6 of his 8 seasons there. In addition, he brought them a division title in 2007(?), and 2 World Series...

Never used S100 on a black car, but used it all the time on my black 2001 Harley Road King when it was new. Would still use it if I still had some. Have two friends with black HD's that used it also with very nice results.
