I have been buying Duragloss at Carquest. Since I buy gallons of the ones available that way, I didn't run out of Aquawax (952 gallon) until this morning. Carquest is no longer carrying Duragloss products. They are giving me clearance price on what's on the shelf! Do ANY other auto parts or...

Money!!

APC is scary anyway. Why they put colorant in it is beyond me. So, no vac and doesn't sound like a good rinse. It is kind of like using PrepAll to take stuff off paint, but not wiping IT off with a clean cloth-it spreads the goop. It sounds like one or both of two things happened: 1. The...

I am SO tired of cleaning and re-cleaning Toyota Camry seats, I have ordered Coverking Rhinohide seat covers. A couple of questions before they get here and I install them. (Toyota cloth upholstery stains when you get them damp!. Steam, cleaner, damp rag, whatever.) 1. Without brand loyalty...

Try this too. Mousepad from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006HTZ0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 $4.95 free ship. Clean rubber side with IPA and LET DRY. 1/2" 3M emblem tape, top and bottom of spindle. I added contact cement in the middle, but I always overkill.

Meguiar's NXT. Too much staining for the $$$. And, Collinite. Any bottle of wax you have to soften with hot water softens in the sun on black paint and SUCKS DIRT UP!! No more coating over my DG for me. LOL.

New Pirellis yesterday. I drove 40 miles home and they still looked good. An hour later it rained over an inch! I didn't drive in it, but the tires have some streaky, milky stuff all over them. ANY idea what it is and the most gentle stuff to remove it? I was going to wait a week or so...

I do one good coat. I only did two the first time. I wait a 1/2 hour, then spray the rims and tire with Aerospace 303 and wipe it off right away. No additional gloss and a little UV protection. (The rims gloss because they're suposed to.) :xyxthumbs:

I've always just dropped it back into the box. I never really saturate the whole thing--too wasteful. I bought a couple of cheap tire applicator sponges that are very similar and better made. I DID buy a cheap bag of 3/4" foam brushes. Those go around the tire first next to the rims so they...

Well, that's that. I got two more from O'Reillys Auto. He ordered from another store that had them. He told me there are no more he can see. That's locally. So I am done, I guess. Try yours though. It's not on the shelves!! Mine did have red stickers with $2.87 on them!

I figure if Dawn is deadly on car acrylic, it'll get it out of the MF. I use a short squirt, then throw my MF wash mitts in which adds some weak detergent also. Hot water, warm rinse. A few chugs of vinegar in the rinse. I dry a regular wash load of towels in the dryer first. That cleans...

Okay, maybe too late, but to answer the question, NO the Endura Tire and the Trim stuff are not exactly the same. A lot of MSDS searching. BOTH are 80% water and "10-15%" acrylic polymer-- proprietary. The final 5% in he two are different. Trim stuff has ethers and glycol to penetrate; wheel...

Then it doesn't have the black dye in it?
