    Trying out McKee's 37 Headlight Coating

    Maybe I could use an APC to clean off the lens and try again. I had originally tried to just keep waxing the lens, but I don't think car wax have sufficient uv blockers. paul

    Trying out McKee's 37 Headlight Coating

    I purchased this from Autogeek some months ago, but finally got some time to use it. The headlight is yellow and hazy after 9 years in the sun. I was able to remove the haze using a cleaner wax.

    First time using iron remover

    I just had a thought. My metal table has rust stains on it because someone left a pizza pan on the surface and it rusted over the finish. The table has a powdercoat finish. Do you think it's safe to use the Ferrex on it? It would be interesting test to see if it removes the rust stains. Paul

    First time using iron remover

    There was no purple bits in the ground either.

I was generous with the product, but it look rather disturbing like it was gelling on...

    Care care for low milage driven car

    Hi, I have a relative who drives their car short distances. As a result, they drive about 1,000 miles a year. This is a bit of a challenge to handle maintenance-wise. For example, the car hasn't reached the 5,000 miles interval for oil change in 4 years, but really should have had one. Here are...
