    Tire Cleaner Advice

    I've actually been using a tire cleaner from Dollar Tree. Seems to work just fine and the price is right. Been using their degreaser too.

    Fabric Protection

    Me too until I started using the 303. It really is superior to SG in every way especially in the durability department. Sprayed 303 on my seats 3 years ago and it's still working today but I'm sure I'm due for another coat. I think it was last year that I dumped a Mickey D's extra large diet...

    Daily driver

    Well, as far as making it through a tough Michigan winter I've had my best durability luck with Zaino Z-2. I've also tried Collinite 845, Duragloss 105/601 and recently picked up some Duragloss 111 to experiment with. I'm gonna do another hood half and half test this winter with the 111/601...

    Daily driver

    I clay and seal 3 times a year and do a full correction every three years. I think the most important part of keeping a DD nice is a good durable sealant or coating. Living in snowy salt belts makes sealing even more important. My vehicles sit outside 24/7 and I've been able to do a decent...

    Lacquer thinner to remove brake dust

    Not sure if it removes brake dust but I removed painted pin stripes with it on my brand new Ford Edge. I wouldn't let it sit on the paint to long.

    chrome wheels

    Just about killed myself cleaning up some neglected old chromers a few months ago. These actually had lots of rust on the surface from pits but I got them looking pretty good. I would keep spraying them with a wheel cleaner and let it soak in and do it's job. Then add a toothbrush, plastic...

    duragloss 111 and 105

    I don't think it matters. Personally, I just use 601 bonding agent with the first coat and then layer straight 111 on top. I always did the same thing with Zaino Z-1 and Z-2.

    Detailed car and rock chips

    My Ford Edge gets front end chips just by looking at it!!!!!! Really wish I would have done the clear bra thing the day I got it.

    Lightweight Polisher

    It has nothing to do with the machine, YOUR JUST OLD!!!!!:) Joking aside, I've found it much easier to apply sealants and waxes with a small light palm polisher. I'm also 50 and have been down that tennis/golfers elbow, bad back and bad shoulder road.

    Tire Dressings?

    I just put a coat of original ArmorAll on my tires cuz it's all I could find at the cabin. I haven't used this stuff in 20 years but it looks pretty good!!! Can't even remember how long it lasts.

    Tire Dressings?

    I also use and like the look of Natural Shine but it just doesn't last very long in Michigan. I might try the Turttle Wax coating after I get new tires next month.

    Interior

    303 Fabric Guard has saved my light stone cloth seats and carpet from a few liquid disasters over the years. Had a fight with some kind of carbonated red drink the other day while driving. Stained the crap out of my cloths but it just beaded up on the seats. After 3 years the fabric guard is...

    Has Anybody Here Ever Spray Painted a Car?

    Years ago I sprayed my fire damaged white 88 GT Mustang with a HVLP sprayer that we used for house painting and it turned out really nice. I think Harbor Freight sells a High Volume Low Pressure sprayer for around 50 bucks that would work much better then rattle cans.

    Ultimate Compound

    Thanks for the responses. I did end up using Ultimate polish before sealing but not sure if it made a big difference. Vehicle is a blue/green 2011 Ford Edge. Is Ford clear coat considered to be hard????

    Ultimate Compound

    Can I seal right after using Ultimate Compound or do I need to use Ultimate Polish before sealing?

    Need a long lasting sealant

    I've been trying to find a sealant that will outlast Zaino Z-2 for a while now. So far I've tried Collinite 845, Duragloss 105/601 and I just applied Duragloss 111/601 a few weeks ago. No luck yet but will see how the 111 does.

    product that does'nt bead?

    My new coat of Duragloss 111/601 is sheeting instead of beading. It does make it easier to dry.

    Rainx RX Upholstery Gaurd

    Not sure if this is a new product but has anyone tried RainX Upholstery Guard yet? I always use 303 Fabric but RainX products are easier to come by and about 1/2 the cost.
