I hadn't heard of using WD-40 for removing wax before. Will it or the Pre-Wow cleaner remove the wax from the finish above it? Or do I need to tape that off before working on the trim. Also, will the Pre-Wow cleaner remove the Black Wow from the trim?

Mostly I use Poorboy's World products (South Fl, hot sun, no garage - great stuff). It's not stains from wax, it's just old wax that I can't get out of the "pores" of the textured plastic. I'll see if I can get a photo to post in here.

On my new(er) car (a '07 Pontiac G6), I have black plastic trim around the the bottom of the sides and at the bottom of the rear bumper. I've used Black Wow on it (it does make it look real good). But no matter careful I am, I still get wax on it when I'm doing the rest of the car. Rubbing it...

Any more info??

I watched the video on this and I'm thinking of trying it, but Mike and the others were always talking about OEM paint. What about 'aftermarket' paint jobs? As I bought my car used, I have no idea if it is the original paint or if it has been painted since then. I have been trying to get all...

I bought my 2007 G6 less than 2 months ago. The first time I filled it from 1/4 tank (on the fuel gauge) I found that I had a 15 gal tank.It took 13 gal to fill it (which proves that the gauges are never accurate). At that time I filled it for about $32.00. Last night I filled it when I hit 1/4...

Scott - as soon as I get my new wheels, I'll put up my new (to me) car. 2007 Pontiac G6. Black.

More like triplets! Out of 4 drivers in my house, 3 are female. And they think that washing the car is driving through the rain.

I'll be there. I have a new(er) car now. Traded in my 03 Mistubishi for an 07 Pontiac G6 GT. Black. AND FULL OF SPOTS AND SWIRLS!!:( What can I say, it was cloudy when I got it. I will be looking for lots of advice getting this thing smooth and spot/swirl free.

I've been looking through the site for a good brush that I can use for cleaning my wheel wells with. One with a long reach so that I can get to the back of the well. And what would be a good dressing after they are clean? Also, what would you all recommend for removing gel type tire dressing...

Autogeek pick me for a Flex Knife!

fk00gst - I know it was a typo, cause I don't know of any polisher that can handle a 5 foot pad, but I just had to mention it . Anyway, I'd say that if the backing plate you have measures 5 3/4", then you would need to use the 6.5" pads. Unless you can get a smaller plate from Griots, that is.

If/when I do this, I'll get someone that knows what their doing. Some of the springs show that they lower the car up to 2" almost. Does this mean I'd have to replace the struts also? (As you may be able to tell, I'm not much of a car mechanic. :D )

Any suggestions for what to use to keep these clean and shiny? Along with what will remove tire gel also.

TS, Thanks for the tip. I checked out springrates.com, but the only Mitsubishi they list are 95-99 Eclipse and 4 different lancers. Mine's an '03. I going to keep looking though.

Thanks for the help, Megan! I can actually see it now, lol Emile, how would I go about getting that done. Cheaply as possible. :D

Guess I need some help to get the images a bit larger. HELP!! :D

I was finally able to get new wheels for my car. I think it really makes a big difference in appearance. This is my first try posting pics here. Here's a before and after shot of it. Note: Had to wire brush rust, the prime and paint the rotor hubs and calipers to match the wheels. Old: New:

Thanks all. I've already order a 3pk of them. 1 for the kids room (nasty place), 1 for the wifes car and one for mine. I just wanted to be sure that it would not affect the headliners.

Has anyone else used this before? I already ordered for use in the house, but it seems abit of overkill to use the entire 6000 cubic foot can in a 30 cubic foot (guessing here) car.
