    Chemical etching on interior plastic. How to remove?

    I have certainly seen some drastic improvements. Want to give it a bit more effort but have been lending my car to my mum during the day so not had the chance. Found some old Kitten cut and polish in the back of the cupboard that feels more aggressive. Should have the car back in a few days to...

    Obscene shipping fees

    Who's your forwarder? Those rates look really cheap. Similar size boxes calculate much higher on any forwarder site I have seen. Eg hopshopgo, myusa, priceusa

    Megs Hyper dressing compared to 303

    I'm no a big fan of them either. I know when I starting browsing on detailing forums over half my time compromised searching for what the acronym meant. They serve there purpose but would make it 100x easier to refer to the full name, place the acronym in brackets immediately after and then...

    Megs Hyper dressing compared to 303

    SOWA = spray on wipe away? Sorry too many detailing acronyms. I usually spray the HD directly onto the applicator then spread on the wheel. I have also sprayed it directly on to the wheel, let it dwell before wiping it off. If spraying it on it will definitely need wiped. HD has no levelling...

    How to remove stubborn glue residue?

    +1 goof off. I used this to remove tinting glue where other things like eucalyptus oil struggled. Fan of Dodo juice supernatural glut and tar remover. Not used to side by side with goof off but reckon goof off would be more effective

    Obscene shipping fees

    Any recommendations on mail forwarding companies. I know who all the big ones but is difficult to ascertain who best value looking at their rates A ground shipping option would be brilliant. It's impossible to consider getting a gallon aired to Australia as cost $50 on freight alone

    Megs Hyper dressing compared to 303

    I've used Dodo Juice Tyromania with some good results. Some people get inferior results as don't follow the directions to buff with water after applying. I have used even cheap tire gel like Armor and received good results from it. Recently bought some Chemical Guys Clear Gel and too early to...

    Optimum Spray wax and the place of spray wax

    Thanks for the pics Toni. It really does give me a good idea with your explanation. I applied some RMT a few weeks ago and agree with the bling and beading comment. Had rain overnight and surprised how much the RMT was still beading. I have some OCW on the way and probably be my go to spray...

    Megs Hyper dressing compared to 303

    Washing off with water can be considered an advantage as well. Probably not so much during winter. Some places don't have distinct seasons. I don't always get rain between winter washes. I like the fact it easily washes off and cheap enough to apply fresh coat of dressing. Having said that...

    Megs Hyper dressing compared to 303

    Have you used 303 yourself? If not, why don't you mix a little up of each and see what you prefer. I use hyper dressing at 2:1 and 4:1. At 4:1 I like the shine on tires.

    Chemical etching on interior plastic. How to remove?

    Obscene shipping fees

    Agreed really need a live shipping calculator. Would save not only us but autogeek so much time. People could easily figure out what is worth shipping and what isn't. It would be great if autogeek could look at other shipping methods. There is no reason shipping from the USA to Australia should...

    Chemical etching on interior plastic. How to remove?

    Upon inspection it appeared that some of the spotting did come off last night. Which is good news because if it was on the underside of the plastic the whole shifter needs to come out. So went and bought some PlastX and it removed a lot of the spotting but there is still some there I'm...

    Chemical etching on interior plastic. How to remove?

    It doesn't look deep at all. Thats why I'm surprised it didn't budge it and beginning to expect maybe its on the underside. Its night time here so going to wait till daylight to inspect further

    Chemical etching on interior plastic. How to remove?

    Just DJ CM, LPL and LP in that order. It didn't appear to do anything at all. I'm going to have a more detailed look at it tomorrow. The more it didn't budge the more I believe it may not be surface stains. Possibly could be stains on the underside of the plastic. So pulling off the gearstick...

    Chemical etching on interior plastic. How to remove?

    Tried Megs APC @ 10:1. I have some DJ Clearly Menthol I could try. Other then that I have some Optimum Power Cleaner coming this week or use existing polished. If DJ CM doesn't move it, I doubt OPC would

    Chemical etching on interior plastic. How to remove?

    The stains do not look that deep. I had considered trying some Dodo Juice Prime lime lite but wanted to make sure I was considering the right type of products. I might give that a try and if no joy try some Plast-X

    Chemical etching on interior plastic. How to remove?

    It looks as though I have some chemical stains. I believe they may be caused by an air freshener. How do I clean this up to restore back to its original condition?
