If you keep your wheels waxed/sealed and wash often enough that the brake dust comes off easy, then no, you don't need a dedicated wheel cleaner. When I bought polished aluminum rims for my previous daily driver, I slapped a coat of wax on them and kept them nice, slick and, shiny with just...

Has anybody tried diluting IronX paste/gel with distilled H2O and using it as a spray solution? Did it work ok? If so, what ratio did you use? I have the paste but didn't buy the liquid and I'm wondering if the paste can be used in this way as a concentrate of sorts to make it easier to use the...

You can lower the risk of warped rotors and other mischief by using a torque wrench to tighten your lug nuts. Some people have a good feel for tightening nuts, bolts, and screws. I certainly don't, that's why I have no less than five torque wrenches and three or four torque screwdrivers, lol...

Thanks! I'll have to add a tin to my next order. I'll be curious to read your thoughts on collinite 915. I have a tin of that but have yet to use it (along with much of my winter purchases). -Rick

Ahso! Thank you for doing the search that I woud not do at 1am. :dblthumb2:

Laura, from what you've shown you have done an amazing job. The generous donation of your time has restored a lot of value in that car. My advice about the bumper cover is something the owner can do. Tell them to get some black touchup and just brush it on the scraped areas. It will take the...

Nothing strange about the psychology. Tools vs. consumables. Compare to complaints over the price of gas. You paid how much for that new car? Not trying to argue with Mark's and your endorsement of the product's virtues. If it's the poo then it's the poo! :righton:

Woolite :D j/k, couldn't resist. Goodnight! :bolt:

Wow that's impressive! So BFWD, Megs #26, and FK Hi Temp FTW. Does AG sell the FK? Too tired to go searching from my iPad. Way to go! :righton:

That is so peacefully deep!! Where are my fins? :eek:

I remember reading here that (and I am too lazy to search for) Meguiar's explanation was that M101 was more suitable for the paints used on European cars than for the cars found here. As if Americans don't buy plenty of European cars!

Laura, The answer to your title question is because they don't know any better. Bad behavior in maintaining vehicular cleanliness is not unique to either men or women, but I have observed the following behavior in this man and this man's wife: When I drove a beater, having no pride in the...

The doll in the back should be a hint that the family has other priorities than a repaint on their acura any time soon. The upper paint might look worse than it is. It might buff out. The bumper cover could either be touched up to put the damage out of sight and out of mind for the time being...

There never was clear coat on that paint, it was single stage red. The car came out great, you did a great job getting rid of the oxidized red paint! :D Single stage paint has it's benefits. If it had been clear-coated and you had clearcoat failure, you would have needed a repaint. Not so with...

7.5" is too big for that machine. You'll probably get plenty of feedback from 7424 owners and I imagine they are all going to say don't use pads larger than 5.5" with that machine. When you get your 5.5" pads, don't press so hard that the pads stop rotating. When they're just jiggling around...

On those hood shots especially, you've got that blue paint reflecting like well polished black! :xyxthumbs: I never would have imagined that a Suburban could look as good as yours turned out.

Plus what better 'ants taking the sugar back to the nest' advertising could you have? :xyxthumbs:

It's got Souveran beat 2 out of 3 as well. Collinite 845 is definitely a rational answer to NXT, and a very good answer at that. I guess once a certain price point is reached, the more rational concerns are free to leave the equation when it's convenient for them to do so. Sorry for the...
