    Prevent morning freeze on the windshield

    I didn't realize that there are so many comments on the thread. Thanks for all the constructive comments. Few points I should have mentioned, - I have not mastered the art of storing vehicles in the garage, yet. I am in the process of mastering it (aka, saving enough dough to buy a house north...

    Prevent morning freeze on the windshield

    Now that the winter weather is upon many of us, I was wondering if anybody has a trick to prevent windshield from freezing in the mornings. Leaving the car idling to defrost is not an option. It takes a while for the car to warm up and start defrosting the windshield. Forester is particularly...

    Streaks on rear (tinted) windshield after Iron-X

    Hello folks, I used Iron-X for chemical decon a month ago. Some of which flowed down the rear windshield. I cleaned it up before drying out (as soon as I noticed it was running down the window) but it left the streaks. Anybody knows how to remove those streaks? They are usually not visible but...

    Hand pump spray foamer to wipe off winter salt

    Thanks a lot. Makes sense. Feynlab ceramic coating is what you are using? Which salt dissolver do you use? This year, I will be spraying with my garden hose as all car washes in my neighborhood advertise it but nobody does it. The underside is always bone dry.

    Hand pump spray foamer to wipe off winter salt

    Thank you, folks. I had a feeling that salt is too abrasive. Good that I decided to ask here. I live in a county where we have some pretty odd water disposal regulations so there are not too many car washes, to begin with. Not a single touchless wash in the county. One coin-op that is 15-20...

    Hand pump spray foamer to wipe off winter salt

    I do not have access to running water or electricity in the parking lot. For the winter, 2 bucket method of washing is out of the question due to apt super's suggestion. Coin-op wash is 15-20 min drive from my place so not good a quick wash to remove the salt. I thought I could use hand pump...

    Alternative to Klasse SG to use with AIO

    I am a newbie, detailed both of my vehicles for the first time without a machine (no electricity in the parking lot) using Klasse twins and it turned out far better than I ever expected (since there was very little, if any, paint correction with hand). That said, the number of products...

    Klasse AIO and High Gloss Sealant, excellent beading but no sheeting as such

    My bad, I went through following steps - Regular wash (I had to use standard carwash, no brushless/touchless/coin op close to me) - At home, I wiped it down with rinseless wash (Wolfgang Uber Rinseless wash) - I did chemical decon with Eagle One PVD and Aluminum Wheel cleaner ( It was my...

    Klasse AIO and High Gloss Sealant, excellent beading but no sheeting as such

    Hello folks, I followed resources from this board and KlasseAct's suggestions on various threads to apply both of these. I did very little paint correction due to lack of tools and electricity in the parking lot. On one car, I applied only one AIO coat and 3 coats of high gloss sealant (one...

    Faux leather seat covers - deterioration spots? How to fix?

    Thank you. I will give it a try. I never have leather seats on my car as they are usually higher trims. I try to stick to the middle trims and they always come with the cloth seats so I have no experience how the leather feels like while driving.

    Faux leather seat covers - deterioration spots? How to fix?

    My uncle has 2014 Accord. When new, he got faux seat covers as it has cloth seats and being a senior citizen with serious osteoporosis, he didn't want to get into cleaning the seats. He doesn't drive much but the seat covers have started showing signs of deterioration. A couple months ago when I...

    (Door/Window/trunk/Sunroof) Rubber seals cleaner+protectant AIO-Meguiar's M5716SP?

    Thank you. I will have a word with him. This car is same as your subway car and same no. of miles. The water doesn't get 'inside' the vehicle but just the door seals which gets tricky in freezing winter when the door freezes shut. Otherwise, no problem. 'Flintstone Mobile' effect, excellent...

    (Door/Window/trunk/Sunroof) Rubber seals cleaner+protectant AIO-Meguiar's M5716SP?

    Thanks, Bob. I must have mixed it up with some other product. @Eric, yes. That is the thing I am talking about. I asked the mechanic last year to replace it but he didn't think it was worth the cost and suggested me just to maintain it with 303 as long as it lasts. He probably knew that it has...

    (Door/Window/trunk/Sunroof) Rubber seals cleaner+protectant AIO-Meguiar's M5716SP?

    This is for 2006 Sentra. The rubber seals, by design, are exposed to the roof. My suspicion is, the rubber has aged and as a result, no matter what I do, there is water seepage in the fine gap that is there. (Plus, the car is not garaged.) My feeling is if I do manage to get that rubber cleaned...

    (Door/Window/trunk/Sunroof) Rubber seals cleaner+protectant AIO-Meguiar's M5716SP?

    Now that we are on the same page with regards to the trim and seals, I would like to focus on the rubber seals. The primary reason is to prevent them from freezing shut in winter. For the last 3 to 4 years, I have been washing/cleaning the rubber seals with diluted car wash soap or diluted APC...

    (Door/Window/trunk/Sunroof) Rubber seals cleaner+protectant AIO-Meguiar's M5716SP?

    The rubber seals of my 2006 Sentra are breaking down. Last 3/4 years I have been trying various products to clean, protect, maintain those seals but none seem to be working. Many of these products have been quoted here on the board so I don't know what I am doing wrong. The interior seals are...
