Not my work (but was done on my car). Full detail including 1-step correction and a ceramic coating. https://i.imgur.com/J1Jw4TI.jpeg

A couple of the professional detailers near me offer 1, 3, 5 or 10 year coatings. Do coatings these days (with proper care) really last up to 10 years, or is that likely a waste of money (to pay extra for a 10 year coating)? Another one just offers either a 6 month or a '2 to 5' year (I assume...

I've had one of those circular elementary school magnets on my car for, apparently, way too long (6-10 years). I'm sure I've taken it off over the years here and there when washing the car, but apparently it's been a while and now I can't remove it. The 'cover' of the magnet (showing the...

I'm continually having issues with windshield wipers (streaking, etc...) within weeks of changing them, so I'm wondering if perhaps my windshield is heavily contaminated (11 year old car). As an aside, I've tried so many different wipers from so many different companies, so I'm pretty sure it's...

Hi. I've had an iOttie Easy One Touch XL Windshield Dashboard Car Mount for several years now, and about a week ago I guess it had had enough of the sun (or something), as the glue/sticky part that sticks to the windshield had 'melted' and the holder was on the floor, leaving a lot of sticky...

Am thinking of replacing my Q5 which I love, but is starting to have more and more issues. I'd love something similar, and used, either a 2016 or a 2017 (maybe a 2015). Was thinking of a Mercedes GLC300, but it seems to get mixed reviews (some sites give it great reviews and reliability...

A few times this winter the weather has been just right to leave a really thick coat of ice all over our cars. Aside from a physical windshield snow cover (which I may just have to get one of these days), would any product (whether it simply be rain-x or a wax or a coating or whatever) work to...

Any thoughts? It's stuck on there really well and I cannot remove it (yes, I flipped the lever to 'loosen' it...). I'm thinking the sticky plastic suction cup has 'melded' itself to my windshield after having been on there year after year after year... I haven't yet tried sliding a knife or...

Is there a simple replacement service for AOL IM service? I don't need anything fancy/secure, just a simple way to IM with the wife on occasion... We use Pidgin software, and I thought AOL was just shutting down their software, I didn't realize the service was going away too (yes, I should...

I'm guessing it's road salt, but is there anything else that could be causing the white haze on the mid-to-lower half of my black car? Haven't done any detailing over the winter, just a couple of trips through the touchless to try and remove the salt/etc. before it sets in... Tried cleaning...

Any thoughts/experience with Dakota Odor Bomb - Car odor bombs for smoke odor removal, pet odor removal and more for a clean, refreshing scent! or Clean Air Auto Interior Fogger would be much appreciated (or some other option). There's a general, slight funky smell to the car I just purchased...

Hi. I've been looking for a 2013 or 2014 Buick Enclave and have found several that I like from various CarMax locations near me. The price is a bit better than CPO from a Buick dealer, but many of the ones I've found had no service history in the Autocheck (provided by Carmax) or Carfax (which...

Am very interested in purchasing a used 2013 JX or 2014 QX, but the reviews (KBB, Edmunds, Car & Driver, etc...) are not the great. In addition, I came across this website, http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchSafetyIssues, and if I put in a 2013 JX35 there are 5 recalls, 2 investigations...

Sorry if this is in the wrong topic, but I'm looking to find someone to do a good wash/clay/decontamination/etc... I'm near Bridgeport, CT and can either travel to the person or, preferably, have a mobile detailer come out. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Without listing a dozen different products, is there a general rule of thumb regarding shelf life? Or at least a rule for waxes, washes, trim guard, etc...? I have a bunch of stuff that I bought 3-4 years ago, use very infrequently, and am wondering if, in general, it's still good, or if it...

Just wondering if anyone has tried OPC (or some other all purpose cleaner, or even car wash) in their pressure washer on a composite (I have Azek) deck. I have a spare piece so I'll test on that first, but just wanted to see if anyone had safely used any auto cleaners on their composite deck...

Anybody try this stuff? Amazon.com: Liquid Glass LG-100 Ultimate Auto Polish/Finish Great Amazon reviews and sounds like a permanent coating (for $19.95!).

I searched and came across various threads regarding this, but most were geared towards professionals. So I wanted to ask what is best/easiest for a novice to use on his windshield, to help repel rain. Am I best off sticking with Rain X or even something like Green Earth Technologies 1214...

Hi all. About a year ago my car was in an accident. I haven't washed it myself much since then (just going through touchless washes) and I haven't really looked at it that closely either. I just washed it myself this weekend and noticed what I think is overspray in many places. I did my best...

Hi all. A work associate of mine (honestly, it's not for me) wanted me to do some research on car leasing, but is very interested in a 1-year lease (if anyone offers those), despite the fact that it's not going to be very cost effective. So my question is: any idea if those are offered and, if...
