    Pinnacle advanced swirl remover & orange pad - what is next aggressive?

    Hi all, Well yesterday my wife's car got bird bombed and I used Mike's technique to remove the droppings by laying a microfiber cloth on it and pourin water on the cloth and letting it soften and pull up the droppings. Unfortunately it looks like there is some etching. I have used an orange...

    Cleaning wheel wells?

    Hi all, Wondering what your favorite product/technique is for cleaning wheel wells. A recent drive has picked up a lot of clay and dirt under the wells. Thanks for any ideas. Ed

    How is this for a starter set-up?

    :iagree: Plus, don't forget windshield sealant. I like Aquapel. Applied it almost a year ago and it is still beading. Says a lot with all this rain we have had.

    General cleaning of floor mats?

    Hmm - my only concern on that is the backing on my floor mats is not plastic so I am not sure how long it would take to dry or if it would shrink at all.

    General cleaning of floor mats?

    Hi all, What do you like to use for lightweight general cleaning of floor mats? There I'm pretty good shape as the car is only two years old and I try to vacuum as often as possible, but I am seeing some dirt areas that the vacuum doesn't seem to get up. I don't have an extractor as I am a...

    Dealer chipped clear coat on wheels when rotating tires...

    Thanks everyone for the support. I may shoot for new rims to replace the damaged ones, although given this dealer I doubt they will do it. Finding someone to service a vehicle that actually respects the property is hard to find. I don't mind paying extra for quality work; I take care of my...

    Dealer chipped clear coat on wheels when rotating tires...

    Hi all, Well, you gotta love it and I ask myself often, why don't people treat other people's property with respect. This afternoon I had my local Honda dealer rotate the tires and do an oil change on my two year old CRV. Now this CRV is in excellent condition (thanks much to the great advice...

    need some help choosing some cleaning/detailing products.

    Welcome to the forum! I am far from an expert, but have learned an awful lot from the experts that have helped me. You may want to add an interior sealant like Ultima Interior Guard Plus. And don't forget glass sealant like Auqapel, incredible sheeting action for rain. I don't have to run the...

    Protecting hood and bumper from Kayak Tie Downs?

    I have Yakima racks that affix to the roof via the set points that are already there in the roof. I use it for both bikes and hope in the future the kayaks. I guess there's nothing that can be done to get around the straps as they prevent air from pulling it up and away from the roof. Getting...

    Protecting hood and bumper from Kayak Tie Downs?

    Sounds like that may be the ticket. Is the vinyl thick enough to handle rubbing before it rubs through? Ed

    Protecting hood and bumper from Kayak Tie Downs?

    Ahh that may be the trick. More than likely I will be putting it on temporarily when we haul the boats and then remove it when I don't need it. I imagine I would just put a small piece where ever the straps touch. The other thought that just came to mind was to use a vinyl coated magnet. This...

    Protecting hood and bumper from Kayak Tie Downs?

    Bill, Thanks for the reply. Looks like the length of the Kayak we will be going with is about 10 feet so we will more than likely get some rub from the straps. I am thinking about layering it by putting some clear material on the hood and then pipe insulator wrapped in micro fiber. Not sure...

    Protecting hood and bumper from Kayak Tie Downs?

    Hi all, I am in the market for a couple of Kayaks and were wondering what you all have seen or used that would be good to protect the front of the hood and bumper from the tie downs that we will have to use for the front of the Kayak. My car is a 2011 Honda CR-V that is in excellent shape and...
