Microfibers, window cleaner and quick detailer are a must. I find an all purpose cleanern a small bottle of ONR, a collapsible bucket and clay bar to be invaluable as well for those grimy-er situations. Case in point, a DOT truck had a fluorescent pink paint spray can bounce out of its bed and...

+2 - application is very easy - smell is slightly chemical with a subtle, pleasant fragrance - feel is silky smooth (not tacky or oily whatsoever) - appearance is a satin sheen (no glare) - dust attraction is minimal and easy to wipe up - the Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel is good for 75% of jobs...

- Whatever is going to come into contact with the bad road salt underneath the vehicle. Paint, glass, trim, tires, wheels and wheel wells are already maintained. - Yes, they'll be off to get to the knuckles, control arms, et cetera. I did not know about FluidFilm, but after more research...

Winter paint prep has been beat to death, but how about the undercarriage? What good is pristine paint if the chassis is rots out and you can't drive it anywhere to show? I've been out of the snow belt for the last eight years, and have gained great insight into the care of my automobile. Now...

Call Prima - great people to talk to. Very willing to LISTEN, and recommend products based on your needs/desires.

If you're going to put in the effort to meticulously maintain your Silverado and wife's Rav4 in the future, why not? If you're NOT going to put in the effort to meticulously maintain your Silverado and wife's Rav4 in the future, why bother? If the latter, how about just a one-step with...

Don't use 0000 steel wool. Yes, it will work, but with a ton of elbow grease on your part. Why not just polish it out as Mike as shown in several of his videos? In any case, it's just Rain-X. Just spray it for half an hour with a hose and it'll disappear...

Uncle Sam's Army / 2007-2014 Active Duty SSG / Route Clearance Target, er, Combat Engineer Ft. Bragg, NC (Airborne!) / Schofield Barracks, HI / OIF & OEF Likewise, thanks to yins who have also served, and thanks to our supporters. "All Give Some, Some Give All" - but to the latter goes my...

I just inherited two Cyclos and kit (with slip-on wool pads) from my late grandfather-in-law, in a box that hasn't been touched for at least 15 years. I plugged them both in...and they still work! I sent an e-mail with pictures to Cyclo if they could confirm them as authentic Cyclo products...

Washing them separate doesn't mean they have to be machine washed. When your other microfiber towels are in the machine, just wash your glass towels by hand. No cross-linting! http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/tricks-tips-techniques/49998-mike-s-glass-cleaning-tips.html I use Meguair's...

A Challenger R/T Classic without any stripes? Such a travesty! Doesn't the owner know stripes make you faster? Very impressive finish on that hard paint. Just looking at the reflection of the multistory building, the lines are so straight - hardly any wavering from the orange peel. And I...

Yep, you were working on that deep crimson '14 Viper over in the service bay! So what was your opinion on the $5700 Stryker Green paint job from the factory? The Viper owner was a repeat customer at that dealership, so when you're shelling out $125k for a car, I think they become pretty...

Use your deironizer (like CarPro Iron-X) and tar remover (like Stoner Tarminator) before you clay, so you have less contamination overall to remove.

That B5 Blue pearl looks great on Challengers. It's different, not just another black German luxury sport sedan. Other than the wheels, it's not that obnoxious (it made me smile instead of chuckle like I would at RICE'd Civics).

A bottle of Ultima Paint Guard Plus+ did that to me. Neither continuous, vigorous shaking nor running it under hot water (like Collinite 845) could make it disippate or reduce its footprint in the bottom of the bottle. In any case, it came that way to me from AG, and has not increased in size...

I saw this stunning Stryker Green Viper in person while getting a key fob replaced. It was already polished up, and being wrapped in the self-healing clear film (I had to look up exactly what this Xpel stuff was). The owner really went the distance for ultimate scratch and chip protection by...

Incredible car. Also incredible is the fact M-B/AMG would let a quarter of a million dollar car leave the factory in that condition.

Go online to Lowe's or Home Depot and search "bucket organizer". HD has one called the "Bucket Jockey".

In my brief hobbyist experience, Chemical Guys Grime Reaper wasn't any better than soap and water on wheel wells. Meguiar's APC+ pretty darn good and at an incredible price point. My local shop says it will be back on shelves within two months as Meg's had to replace or recertify just one...

An airlift would be the best. Reminds me of Operation Dumbo Drop. I'm going to have to go out and try that tonight! Interested to see how durable it is. Sounds ideal, like those old Enterprise car rental commercials, but it's a no-go. The exterior has to be thoroughly cleaned, and the...
