May be oxidized pigment, that you can try to work off by using a good small brush like a fingernail brush. Then see above recommendations for restoring treatment products.

It has been a while since I logged on... I thought I had put some stuff into a shopping cart or a "wish list" type of category over on the store page, but I don't see anything. Is there a lace like that where I can store products for future purchase, so I don't forget them? Edit: never mind -...

APC = all purpose cleaner. If you use search function for abbreviations or "acronyms" you will find a long list used here that puts wtf omg lol to shame :- )

I have a pretty new (1 year old) windshield on a car, and the glass is already showing some pitting. Replacement seems a bit premature, so I wonder how the OP thinks this combo would work on pitting (the curse of living in a sandy environment?)

Factory-applied clear plastic film to protect around some parts of the wheel wells of my white '05 Tacoma. The film is in good shape, but the edges are starting to pick up black gunk, and I am afraid that attacking the edges may make the film start to peel away. How do you guys attack this to...

Update: between 303 Fabric/Vinyl cleaner, and Griot's Interior Cleaner: anyone with good or bad to report on either of these? Am I being too optimistic to think that deep cleaning with one of these odorless products will help the old smell, without having to resort to a specific "odor-eating"...

Hi all. I have a '91 BMW with vinyl interior in good shape, but it has "that" old car smell. You know the one: not bad, like from smoking or anything. Just, well, old. What would be some good products and/or methods to freshen it up? It's a daily driver, but I don't want to just mask it...

Thanks guys.

Since we get pretty good winter days usually each year, I wonder, down to about what temp's would you all consider ok to work outside on a car? I am thinking that clay would be a bit tougher, but still ok. How about compounding? Would it be ok to work in the sun, if the air temp's were upper...

Hot water in your buckets. Neoprene gloves. Get a hot/cold mixing frost-free hose bibb. Why doesn't every house have one?!

Oops - sorry all. I somehow ended up posting this topic twice, when I tried changing the thread title. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, not needing great results, just wondering what step would be the right one after claying, to clean the paint a little more before applying a DA. This car was not owned by a "car person," as you can see in the pics - probably never got much love in the washing/detailing department, so I...

I need guidance for steps to take in cleaning and prepping for winter the neglected finish on my new-to-me 1991 BMW. It will sit out all winter and be driven, and although I wanted to dive right into a full detailing, I just haven't made the time this autumn. Here is a thread I started about...

I really don't know if KAIO is a similar formula as the AW - maybe the results would be the same. I will be experimenting to try to be rid of the ugly blotches, so let's keep this going, maybe until we have some results to share. I can't believe it's not discussed more frequently, given that...
