    cleaning a Jeep soft top?

    Haven't seen a new Jeep in a long while :), but in my days they had a plastic/Vinyl top which is easy to call. Cloth tops were what you'd see on Beamers and Porsche, MBZs etc. it looks kinda like canvas. I'd vac both outside and in. Before starting with washing and chemicals, if the inside is...

    BMW Experts! - Is this a rare BMW?

    No CSLs on Beamers, I was thinking either plain 635 or 635i. Had a 325i in 86.

    BMW Experts! - Is this a rare BMW?

    If memory serves me right ( I won't bet on it though!) there were a couple of models back then the CS and CSI, there may have been a third one too, and they were priced in the mid to high $30ks. The much rarer 850s and later 840s (or was it 860?) were if I recall correctly over $40 or $50k. Now...

    Bobs Mustang Restoration Update

    Just came across this thread, it took me about 6 years to restore mine and there are still minor issues being worked out. Anyhow, you may already know this but worth mentioning just in case; have you taken care of the Cowl vents? On many of these older mustangs water leaks through the Cowl...

    02' Jeep Wrangler black soft top leaving black streaks down entire Jeep, how to i prevent this?

    Cool, I have a whole bottle of 303 protectant and was asking in another thread if I could put that on my white (Refrigerator white) vinyl hardtop and the few who answered recommended raggtopp. Now my question is would topping up 303 protectant with Sonax BSD add another layer of protection...

    02' Jeep Wrangler black soft top leaving black streaks down entire Jeep, how to i prevent this?

    Is it a vinyl top or fabrique? Look into Raggtopp products, they have a cleaner and protector set for vinyl tops and another for fabrique. I haven't used these on my vinyl hardtop yet, but they were recommended highly by other users. You may wanna try these on your current top first,if the...

    Whole car with 4 inch pads?

    I'd stick to 5.5" for the car and 4" or 3/3.5" ones for tight areas. A 5" backing plate should weight no more than 200-250 grams or 7-8 ounces and it wouldn't cost much to ship it from the USA to Australia. While you are at it get a 3 and/or 3.5" plate at the same time and have'em shipped...

    Best Product for Cleaning Leather Seats

    I use Sonax leather spray sold @ AG and am very happy with it, it both cleans and protects also gives a fresh leather look. So I clean my leather first with a damp Mf towel and a bit of shampoo if it's really dirty then spray the Sonax and wipe off. A few of the AG lines like Pinnacle and...
