    What is the best method to salvage this steering wheel?

    This is the steering wheel of my 2006 Sentra Special Edition that I got pre-owned a while ago. I don't know if its leather or polyurathane but its been like this since I owned it. It got dirty over the period of time but the underlying structure is same. I have been itching to use car wash soap...

    Washing/Rinsing undercarriage without running water

    Hand wash places are no different. A colleague mentioned it but AFAIK, most small boats are made of fiberglass and/or their paint structure may be different than that of the car, being in the water all the time. So I didn't consider any of those as I wasn't too sure if it will harm the paint in...

    Resinous substance on the bumper, how do I remove it

    I have resinous substance on the bumper. I noticed it recently but it seems to have caked/baked on the bumper in the summer heat. I tried to use quick detailer, rubbing alcohol, even tried to use nanoskin but it won't budge. I was tempted to use GooGone but wasn't too sure if it will harm the...

    Washing/Rinsing undercarriage without running water

    That is true. Even on a dry day, the dried salt on the road makes its way underneath or on the car. Automated car washes make me cringe when I see the kind of cars in the line. As I said in the OP, these places do claim undercarriage wash, but even after paying their best offering ($38 for a car...

    I assume you first wash and dry the engine before you apply Sonus?

    Washing/Rinsing undercarriage without running water

    I was aware of their undercarriage roller wash but I didn't know of their cordless pressure washer. Thanks a lot. Looks relatively smaller and not too pricey either. Have to keep an eye one it for a deal during Thanksgiving or something. Last year when I was doing spray cleaning the underbody...

    Washing/Rinsing undercarriage without running water

    Thank you. There is only one coin-op car wash about 15-20 mins drive from my place. So by the time, I will be back from this place, the undercarriage will be salty all over again. Hence, looking for something that I can do in the parking lot so the car can at least sit clean overnight.

    Washing/Rinsing undercarriage without running water

    Hello folks, Does anyone have any ideas on how I can wash/rinse undercarriage in winter? I live in an apartment complex where we do not have access to the running water or electricity. Our local car wash places claim to have undercarriage wash option but they have never ever washed...

    Any of these marks fixable without a DA polisher?

    Thank you, folks. I have ScratchX on hand. I will give that a try before buying products mentioned by others. I plan to use Klasse AIO and Klasse High Gloss Sealant later. So I will wash it thoroughly -> Iron Remover -> Clay the paint -> Scratch X (or other compound and polishes) -> Klasse AIO...

    Rust Spots, Any way of fixing this?

    That was my first thought but seems like the biggest spot 'feels' that the salt has eaten through the paint. I have not used Iron remover yet as still trying to thoroughly wash/clean the surface by each square foot before getting into the detailing mode. I don't plan to ceramic coat it. I...

    Rust Spots, Any way of fixing this?

    Hello folks, I am new to (super basic) detailing. I am prepping my 5 year old Forester to detail for the first time. I have been checking the vehicle's paint by each square foot and noticing loads of issues. On the back I see a lot of rust spots, looks like a super small dust particle (pollen...

    Any of these marks fixable without a DA polisher?

    Thank you Bobby for the comment. I wiped the marks with Adam's detailer and Meguair's quick detailer. The first one is the worst, I would not remove all of the blue in that mark. Rest I could clean up pretty well but the marks are clearly visible. Is there any other way to remove the blue color...

    Any of these marks fixable without a DA polisher?

    Hello folks, I am new to (super basic) detailing and this question may not fall under Auto Detailing 101 as may involve extensive work (just my guess). I have a few scuff marks from 'extremely careful' fellow motorists. All received in parking lots. I am curious to know how many of these are...

    Microfiber towel treatment after using Klasse AIO and Sealant

    Thanks, Two more questions if you don't mind. - The guide that I linked, it mentions using meguiar's quick detailer (red bottle) with some Klasse high gloss sealant as a quick detailer after a wash. Do you think thats a good idea? I would like to maintain some of my efforts throughout the...

    Topping Klasse Sealant with Collinite 845?

    Over 2 days, I managed to detail my car for the first time with Klasse AIO and high gloss sealant. The results are way better than I expected. One of the neighbors who drives Uber on the weekends suggested I should top Collinite 845 on this. I was under the impression that Klasse couple is...
