    Best bang for the buck trim restorer available?

    If the trim is faded and in need of restoration Solution Finish does a great job of restoring the color. Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant does a good job on just about any type trim and will not wash off quickly. It can be used over Solution Finish to add projection and prevent future fading.

    Current Favorite Soap/Shampoo

    Have you tried Optimum Car Wash in a Foam Gun or Foam Cannon? I'm looking for a less expensive alternative to Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo since I started using both the foam gun and cannon regularly.

    Cleaning Chocolate Milk from Perforated Leather Seats

    I would try a solution of diluted APC in the steamer. Again, test the APC solution on an area of the leather that won't show. If it's too aggressive it may pull color out of the leather or remove the top protective layer and make it look dull. Guys have used an APC solution in an extractor to...

    Cleaning Chocolate Milk from Perforated Leather Seats

    You might want to try a diluted APC, but first test in an inconspicuous spot to make sure it doesn't damage the leather or pull up the seat color. There are multiple leather cleaners available you could try but in the case of the perforated leather seats you may need to use a steam or hot water...

    List your wax's / sealants what you like and don't like.

    My current wax is Pinnacle Liquid Souveran. I use Pinnacle Liquid Spray Wax as a drying aid after every wash and get 4-5 months protection. I just started trying DG Aquawax as a drying aid on one of my vehicles based on reviews. The price per gallon is a lot more reasonable.

    Can I remove curb scuffs from tires

    I would hit the tire with a stiff brush and APC or McKees 37 Tire Rejuvenator and then dress the tire with your choice of tire dressing or coating. I've had scuffs like that before on tires and this minimizes the scratches and they tend to not be noticeable.

    Question on tires air pressure gauge

    I use an Accutire MS-4021B Tire Pressure Gauge to check pressure and as others have stated, the outside temperature has a direct effect on the TPMS readings and the tire pressure in general. I have two of these gauges and will sometimes verify one against the other to determine calibration. The...

    Product Review - Pinnacle SIO2 Spray...

    I tried this product back in December and posted in the link below.

I purchased this product when it first came out and the weather has been either raining or cold and this was the first opportunity I have had to wash this vehicle since I purchased the spray. The Durango was...

    Ultra High Gloss recommendations please

    ^^^ I agree. I clay, polish, and wax with Liquid Souveran and use Souveran Spray wax as a drying aid weekly. I get 5 months protection on my daily drivers that live outside.
