    Mother's CMX CERAMIC SPRAY COATING

    We're trying to figure out how to care for the microfiber towels - right now I just toss them since they seem to repel water really well. You'll be able to find it after February 1. AutoGeek would be a good place to start. Several retail chains are putting it in as well. Yes, you can reapply...

    Mothers back to black

    What I find disappointing is those who don't follow the directions Allow to penetrate then buff with a clean microfiber or terry cloth towel and then complain about how the product performs. You'd never dream of waxing your car without at least washing (and possibly claying), but very few...

    How To Apply Mothers California Gold Pure Carnauba Paste by Machine

    That can design is older than many of the members here, but it's still the best. And if you love the smell of bubble gum, you'll love the smell of the wax.

    Remember to vacuum after cleaning and once dry - that will remove all the dirt that's been loosened from the carpet fiber.

    Mothers pure polish

    ifadey also posted his question on our company forum, so I've copied the answer to here for others: Though there are no fillers and no silicones in Pure Polish. If you're looking to remove light scratches and want body-shop safe/silicone-free, the compounds and polishes in our professional line...

    Reccomend me a metal polish

    Sorry, we do not. Billet is a niche product and the volume doesn’t justify another version.

    Reccomend me a metal polish

    Billet is a much finer polish than California Gold Liquid Metal Polish. Actually, it’s just a liquid version of our 05100 paste Mag & Aluminum Polish.

    clay leaving holograms

    I'd suggest trying again with our included/recommend lubricant, instead of what was used. For more suggestions, call our tech support on Monday after 8:30 West Coast time, or email [email protected]

    Polished Aluminum Wheel care.

    As others have mentioned, those factory rims have a clear coat on them, as do 99+% of the factory high-polished rims. Please don’t use our Mag & Aluminum Polish on them. The marks you show appear to be under the clear coat, so there’s no easy way to remove them unless you want to strip the...

    Review: Mothers Power Cone - 1962 Impala SS by Mike Phillips

    You can use a foam pad detergent if you have it, or we recommend using dish soap and warm water in a bucket. Disassemble for best results (takes a 10mm wrench). Squeeze it in the water to clean well, then rise and allow to dry before reassembling. Reassembly is also a good time to reverse the...

    Alcoa aluminum wheel polishing?

    Alcoa uses several different alloys, and you never quite know what you'll get. And yes, some of their rims are coated. If the aluminum is pitted, we can assume the wheels are not coated, though. We do make a more aggressive tool, the PowerBall Mini MD and polish to help remove the major...

    Review: Mothers Power Cone - 1962 Impala SS by Mike Phillips

    You can use the PowerCone with a product appropriate to the finish. And the foam is not too aggressive for a painted or coated surface.

    Anyone have experience with MEK?

    I had a summer job 1975 before I started college - building clear plastic display boxes using MEK to melt the plastic corners/edges together through a large needle fed from a glass bottle. NEVER want to do that again. Stuff made you lighter-headed than some of the recreational products that...

    Anyone have experience with MEK?

    Learned something new today. But I'm still surprised. Was it used near the canopy?

    Anyone have experience with MEK?

    I can't believe anyone in an aviation shop would use MEK. Since it can weaken acrylic, using it near windows can weaken them and cause major problems, particularly on an aircraft that's pressurized. I'd consult with someone who has an A&P license about what chemicals are safe to use in that...

    Anyone have experience with MEK?

    MEK is some nasty stuff. It melts acrylic plastic. If I wanted something to remove fresh oil, I'd use a waterless wash & wax - which also wouldn't bother your coating.

    Problems with Mothers Quick Interior Detailer

    After speaking with our chemists and tech support folks, we’re guessing our interior Detailer removed whatever protectant/dressing was on the dashpad, allowing the actual condition of the surface to be seen. You mentioned this was an older vehicle. What year/make/model, and how has it been...
