    Can the residue be removed without damaging the decal?

    Unfortunately the previous owner removed the black factory decal and applied this silver one directly over the residue. Can the residue be removed without damaging the decal? I dont really want to strip it off and spend 200 on a new decal set. I've tried carefully using a claybar and a q-tip...

    That dank, musty 'used car' smell...

    You know the one. You sit in a car that's more than a few years old on a car lot-- Or even a friend's car that has never once so much as vacuumed the interior. It's a bit of a plasticky, musty, almost armorall-like smell. I can't place the source -it's not the AC vents. Well, we lent the car...

    I need something to replace 303.

    LOVED this stuff for years for my interior. Recently got a new 4runner, and given the quality of toyota weatherstripping and seals, I decided to put the 'spf for my stuff' on the black parts. Well, turns out, any moisture will react with the 303 and make the black panels look streaky and...

    Seats looking worse with each Leatherique application.

    First application, I noticed splitting around the seams in the seats. I contacted Leatherique and they said that it was probably covered up by dirt previously. Since then I've kept my seats fairly clean with their product, and decided to apply the Leatherique conditioner once again. After my...

    Yellowed trim.

    I'm doing a Chevy 2500 PU this weekend and one side there is a plastic body strip. It's white and has yellowed badly in the sun. I'm thinking I can burn through it with some moderately aggressive polish and bring out clean, white plastic underneath. Am I correct, or should I go about this...

    Suggest a wash mit specifically for ONR.

    I tried using the Adam's microfiber washing thing and used it on my car. The car had 3 days of garage dust on it. It had not been driven. As I expected, it marked up my clear coat. Although - not as bad as I thought it might. (It does not mark the clear coat if used on paint that has been hit...

    First paid gig.

    I know it's no Lamborghotti Fasterossa, but this pup here has seen a lot of hard days. It's been washed with dish soap and "whatever is handy" since day one. I washed it twice, degreased the wheel wells and it completely wrecked a brand new claybar. I wasn't expecting that! I've used the same...

    Is it lucrative?

    Mobile service, that is. The wife is totally not on board for even part time because she doesn't believe it can be. - And I know we're talking a ton of variables here. Volume, products, clientele, climate, and geographical factors. The only information I have to go from is salary ranges for...

    New guy from California.

    Hello, world. I was a casual user of car care products until I purchased a 2004 Corvette about 4 years ago. It was in SAD shape. I really wish I had taken pictures. Covered in "parking lot" scratches, water spots and the entire paint was hazed. I didn't know anything about paint correction at...
