Now this is not "exactly" the same, but, my wife's 2008 white Toyota Highlander has black trim on the cowl and a piece on the back bumper. I don't think they are the same type of plastic as the back appears to be shiny and the front is more matte. Also, they get different levels of sun and wind...

I like the Mothers Trim Cleaner, so I reckon their trim dressing ought to the next thing I try.

"Borrow" some Woolite from your wife's laundry room, mix it 1oz to 20 oz water - you can use distilled. And you have the best cleaner for quite a bit less than the other stuff. Does it work? Would I post if it didn't? I know there are quite a few "experts" that think this will end the world and...

Shoot, BFWD stained every pad I ever used it on, and I never saw anyone complain about that. I'm definitely trying Mother's, and that quart of 105 will get re-gifted to a buddy.

I totally agree with Hoyt! I would like to add that Bleche-White and the APC's I've used always made me cough and took me a minute or three to catch my breath again. Not so with Mother's - cleans without the harsh, tear out your lungs smell. So, unless you're into full face mask and such, get...

If you clay properly once, I'm not sure why you would need to again in a week or two, except for bugs?

I agree, Mothers works! It's got me thinking about trying more of their products.

The only way to settle this would be a double blind test with several waxes on the same type/color surface. I'll just say the $$ doesn't mean diddly except less money in your wallet.

Dave, my point was geared to the young guys that are chasing that "uber duber" holy grail and do NOT have the $$ flowing like the Mississippi out their backsides. I am all for investing in quality - whether it's tools, cars, clothes, whatever. Good stuff will last, I have a Snap On screwdriver...

It's ALL hype, I read about an experiment where they took wine tasters and had them judge a selection of expensive wines and some cheaper ones, all rated the pricey ones higher. Guess what - the guys doing the test switched bottles. It's all in perception, if I paid $1,000.00 for wax, darn right...

I agree 100% with Mike & Bobby, and I'd add that from my experience, a little extra TLC in the interior goes further to make your customer happy than those extra hours you spent "jeweling" his 1997 Chevy. If you can put yourself in their shoes, they don't "see" swirls and don't care if wax the...

I saw a F-250, at least a 6" lift, and a exhaust pipe like a chimney (diesel), on the back, painted in bold letters "This is NOT my boyfriend's truck" Sure enough, girl driving - looked like she could be Shania Twain's sister, I was in LOVE, LOVE I tell ya, then the wife poked my ribs and said...

After figuring that I had "mastered" that rotary, I proceeded to get too close to a piece of plastic molding on a fat Ford SUV, yep, rolled about an inch of paint it right off. The good thing was that the vehicle was a sh1tbucket and had several bumps, dings, and to the metal scapes - the owner...

Great article and yes, I fell into trying to be Paul Dalton when I first started, I'm sure those Buick owners thought I was mental and perhaps I was - but, $$ divided by number of hours gets old and you learn that maybe you're doing a little too much! I think the greatest thing in recent years...

Re: Gel Coat Oxidization Removal Advice Needed? I've done a couple boats and it gets easier each time due to the learning curve flattening out. I got smart and called the boat dealer and asked just what the heck did they use, answer - Shurbuff Buff Magic and they had it cheaper than anywhere...

Noboby mentioned this, but ValuGuard ETG Kitt III is another product that I think would work. According to a old friend, this stuff really will fix your faded trim.

I'm ham fisted and I know it, so, I apply BFWD and all LSP's with my PC and a LC gold or red pad. If you don't have a machine, don't worry, even you lather it on (like I tend to do) it is NOT a pita to get off!

I have the highest regard and respect for Overhaulin and their crew. And Jessi - OMG, on my list of people to meet and take out to lunch - as soon as I win the Powerball and can afford to do it "rock star style" as Vanilla Ice would say, come to think of it - he's on the list too! Untill then, I...

Can someone explain why there is no 4" MF pads? I mean really! Why? Not only would Cyclo owners (like me) like this, but if you look at foam pad sizes - 4" is a standard size. I not buying another pad until I am down to the backing plate until this issue is addressed, and I have a lot of...

Depends on "average" condition. If it's got any oxidation you will need a rotary, several good wool pads and a can of Shurhold's buff magic, trust me, I've done a few ski boats and gel coat will laugh at car polishes. But, on the other hand, you can get amazing results with just one step with...
