    Shiny black plastic around door windows

    On a Toyota Avalon the smooth shiny black plastic around the windows had something applied last year which is wearing off. I'll clean it but what should I use to get the smooth surface looking good again? Thanks.

    Bits & pieces of dead leaves clinging to bottom half of doors

    About 2 weeks ago I corrected the paint on my Avalon then put on a layer of Jetseal 109. Every couple of days since then I've used Meg's quick detailer in the maroon bottle to clean the dust off. The leaves have just started falling off the trees here and today I noticed pieces of them sticking...

    How to clean silver looking trim on Avalon?

    On an '11 Toy Avalon the silver colored trim along the bottom of the doors, the grille and the wheels look like they haven't been washed since the spring; may be water marks etched into the metal or even some left over road salt from the winter although it looks like it's on the surface only...

    '99 Jeep beginning clearcoat failure?

    I gave my grandson my '99 Jeep last spring. At that time there were what looked like the beginnings of clearcoat failure on the hood, like on other Cherokees I've seen. He's only washed it in drive thru wash places this winter & there's no wax left on the paint. The clearcoat doesn't look any...

    Headliner coming loose

    In my grandson's '99 Silverado the headliner above the passenger side door is pulling away from the plastic lip that holds it in place. It's not drooping badly or anything, just 3-4" along the length of the door opening is a separation of ~ 1/8" slightly off the lip, it's almost like the...
