    Done with Lexol...looking for something new

    Carmax Ad

    I purchased my car from Carmax, and found a box of crayola crayons under one seat, and some soggy cheetos under a floor mat. I complained after they called to see how I was "enjoying my carmax vehicle", after I told them, they said I could bring it in and they would make sure it got vacuumed...

    Wash car after TSR and before Finishing Glaze?

    Instead of an IPA wipe down, would it make sense to use DoDo Juice Lime Prime, before the glaze? This is just to get my car through winter, during spring, I can plan a more ambitious correcting project, cause the paint on my car is TRASHED!!! I have been talking about this project for...

    Thanks for the fast response. I forgot to mention, I did give it a good scrub down with 1z einszett cockpit premium. It seems to be the foam applicator, it just only really hits the raised surfaces of the dashboard.....

I am wishing I ordered something to seal and protect the plastic head and tail lights. What product...
