Re: Picture & Comments - 1977 Can Am Corvette - Extreme Makeover Impressive to say the least.

If you are not going to use/have a grit guard, atleast use another bucket full of clean water to rinse out your mit. I used a 1 bucket system for years but converted to a 2 bucket system with GG's for both my car wash and my wheels and tires.

"Ancient chinese secret."

About 7 years ago, I bought a 90 mustang lx 5.0. It had new paint but the glass and side mirrors we covered in waterspots. I used a 3m product for plastics to remove the waterspots. It took a while since I was doing it by hand. Since then I have used Meg's Plastic X to use on waterspots with the...

I bet the car really pops when the sun is shining! Looks great!. All he needs is a set of Weather Tech Digi-Fit floor mats!:xyxthumbs:

Reminds me of what my Dad use to say...."son, you know what that dog said when he slid across that sand paper butt first?....RUFF!"

You reckon?! My chemistry teacher in H.S. told the class that you eat a little bit of teflon everytime you cook something in a teflon coated skillet.:hungry:

No worries here. I will continue to seal my vehicles. But the science sounded intrigueing.

I had a guy in the autobody repair business tell me I should never wax the paint on my vehicle? He said the when it rains, the water beads up and acts like a magnifying glass when the sun comes out. Is there any truth to this? If this is true, then even new cars with clear coats would be just...

What is the MF system??

I have used diluted simple green to clean the interior of my wife's Pontiac GP GTP. It was amazing how much crud it cut. Looks pretty freaking good to me!!

I dressed them with Mequiers Endurance. Wipe on, let it sit for 5 minutes then wipe off. This is a new technique for me since I use to just leave it on there. But it would sling off and I hated that.

I Did a full detail on my wifes' Lacrosse on tuesday. Cleaned the wheels with diluted simplegreen, dried them, clayed them and then sealed them with mothers FX. Today I washed the Lacrosse again and just used soap and water. They were so much easier to clean.

I just put a new set in my wife's Lacrosse. The fit is superb. I plan on getting a set for my Silverado.

I just put in the new WeatherTech Digi-Fit floor mats. The fit is superb! Sorry for the grainey picture, cell phone pic.

Agreed. I will use soap and mit from now on since I have sealed the wheels. It should make them easier to clean. Thank you! I use a mixture of terry cloth to catch the big water and MF to catch everything else. No issues with the terry cloth on my end.

Ok, On Tuesday, I thoroughly washed the wheels and tires on Lacrosse with blech white and simple green (heavily diluted). Then I washed the car with Mothers California gold car wash. Followed by a thorough drying with all terry towels for the big water and then with MF towels for everything...

A WHOLE lot of info being thrown at me and I appreciate it!!

Thanks for the reply BobbyG! I suppose the reason I am 2nd guessing myself on the blech-white is because I hear it is so harsh on the tires. I've had good luck with it in the past. May continue with it, just looking for other options. As far as a wheel sealant, couldn't I just use a good...

My wife just got a lacrosse as well. She had a Pontiac GP GTP before that was black. It was tough to maintain. I have always washed, clay barred and used a cleaner wax. Never used a sealant or polish?
