    Thanks again for all the tips! I didn’t mention but the photos were taken after I applied a leather conditioner (not a good one though)... Let’s see if I can find a better one

    Destroyed the fake leather of my steering wheel - Need help on what to do

    Hello all I was cleaning my windshield with alcohol (70%), when I saw a spot on my steering wheel and tried to clean... with the alcohol. My good sense failed and my microfiber cloth came out with a black color from the wheel. Now the fake leather has a faded and very dull color that didn’t...

    Issues on Polishing Interior Black Piano Trim

    Hey guys I'm trying to polish the black piano trim that's on my Golf 7 steering wheel. It's full of small scratches and fine swirls. I did it using a Meguiars Ultimate Polish and a microfiber cloth (since it's a very wedgy and small piece of trim). The things now is that there's a slight...

    Water Spots on Internal Trim?

    Hey guys, just noticed it after wiping down (and drying) the interior of my car. This looks like water spots on the door handle. Have anyone ever seen it and would have an idea of how to remove it? Thanks!

    Windshield wiper blades

    Let me tell you guys my story. I clean my wiper blades with the same car soap I wash my car. After 3 years of use (never changed them), on the first wipes during a rain, the performance is very poor, but after a few minutes they start to do their job really well, as they were new. I know you...

    Muffler and Exhaust Tips Cleaning

All the topics I've seen shows only exhaust tips made of some fancy shiny chrome or stainless steel. So my doubt...

    Opinion on Blower

    Thanks for the opinions, guys. I guess I'll stick with a blower to dry those damn cracks and crevices, brakes, maybe wheels, and to help removing a good amount of water from those larger panels like roof and hood. A cheaper one should do the job as you indicated. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone...

    Opinion on Blower

    Hey guys Tried to look for topics about this but couldn't find anything. To dry and entire car, do you think a 400W blower could do the job? If not, would it be enough to remove water from crevices at least? Or there's a simples option to do this job? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Good Effect of Wheel Cleaners

    I can tell you that when I used the DUB on my paint job or on filthy wheels, it always changed the color to purple. My wheel has a small cap on the center to hide the bolts, which was removed at the moment of the photo. The wheel hub cap on the center was still a little bit dirty when I used the...

    Spots on paint

    Hey guys, how are you? I recently noticed some spots on the paint of my dad's car, but I couldn't identify what they are. They don't seem to be water marks. Could you help me identifying it? I guess only polishing will remove them...? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Car wash times

    For the exterior I normally take for 2h to 2:30h. The job basically consists in: - Cleaning wheel in detail with a brush, including the barrel and tire walls (this takes a lot of time due to the intricate design of my wheel) - Cleaning paint job section by section and rinsing each section -...
