    Rustoleum Factor 4?

    Says it's synthetic but protects as long as a ceramic. Too good to be true? Anyone try this? Just saw it on Pinterest and I wanted to look it up on google. No polish or scratch remover, or surface prep. Only wash, wax, and detailer... Should they stick to spray paint? What are everyone's...

    Question regarding 3 in 1 products

    I just got done watching a youtube video of Griots 3 in 1 vs Meguiars 3 in 1 (both are cleaner, polish, wax.) What these companies offer in 1 bottle is a great idea, but I'm curious if it would that be the same thing as say if I mixed my own concoction like say Meguiars swirl remover, glaze...

    How to eliminate squeaking windows???

    I have a 2001 Grand Prix 2dr (mint). When the power windows go up and down, the windows squeak like crazy. I already sprayed the A and I pillar channels as well as the felt guide and sprayed the glass so it would drip down the window and onto the mechanism arm that pivots when it goes up and...

    dryer sheets???

    i was told that you can use dryer sheets to removed caked on grime and bugs, and whatever is used in the dryer sheets glides on the paint so it doubles as a claybar. i saw before/afters on various spots such as the body itself and a separate sheet was used on the wheel wells. and i was also told...

    ive tried turtlewax, mothers, meguires, and 3m. i was told basf and dupont have a kit too but im guessing if i tried most of them, chances are they'll probably be the same. my results were good for the first couple months, then down the road they would go back to being hazy again. HOWEVER, i...

    detailing in the sun. (seriously?)
