I will be receiving a new set of Cragar Soft 8 steel wheels next week. They are gloss black powder coated wheels. From what I have read, they clean up very nicely. That said, do you think I should Opti-Coat the wheels before having them mounted?

Now that my Jeep has been detailed, I want to maintain it. I have some basic questions. 1) How often should I clean the engine and dress it? Do you clean with every wash? 2) I used PERL on the exterior. Does this have to be removed before applying new coats on tires and trim? 3) How do you...

I finally finished detailing my 2001 Jeep Cherokee. This was my first complete detail. It took me WAY TOO LONG! I figure that I have about 32 hours invested. Weather, garage lighting and my process all contributed. I learned a ton and could easily strip off 10 hours next time. I ended up...

This weekend I finished doing a complete detail on my Jeep. My LSP is 845. On my last order, I got a gallon of Optimum Car Wax. How soon and how often should I use the spray wax?

I've been trying to detail my Jeep all weekend. It took way longer than expected due to weather and not having good lights in the garage I am using. I just applied 845 as my LSP. I don't feel like going back out there in an hour and buffing it off. Is it OK to leave on until tomorrow after work?

I am in the process of detailing my Jeep right now. My original plan was to do the following: m105 m205 Blackfire Wet Diamond Collinite 845 I'm wondering, instead of the 845, would two coat of Blackfire be better? That said, what about two coats of Blackfire and one coat of 845? How would...

This small rust spot is on the edge of my Jeeps roof. It appears to only be on the surface. What's the best way to kill, remove and seal the rust spot without damaging the surrounding paint?

I broke my back about 18 years ago. Now that I am older, at times it hurts worse than when it happened. Bending over to wash my vehicles kills me. Tires and wheels are too bad as I usually sit on something. What tools and brushes would you recommend I try that would allow me to wash without much...

I am going to replace the carpet floor mats in my Jeep and my Entourage. For the Jeep, I will get the liners. However, what would you guys recommend for my Entourage? I need the three piece set for the van. I'm just not sure the liners will look good. Keep in mind I don't have to deal with snow...

I don't see anyone talk about Purple Power here. Do you guys not like this product? I love it, as it's very cheap and works great. Should I not be using this on my vehicles?

I have a black Hyundai Entourage I want to make look the best I can. The paint is in very good shape. I'm pretty sure everything can be corrected with a DA. I hope anyway. Using my PC, I was going to use Megs OTC Ultimate compound, ColorX, and then Ultimate Wax. I have the OTC products, but am...

I have a 2008 Hyundai Entourage with tan leather seats. Last night I cleaned them with Meguiar's Gold Class Leather & Vinyl Cleaner spray, followed by their Gold Class Leather Conditioner spray. I started by cleaning the passenger side front seat, then the passenger side captains chair, then...

I'm off to purchase a Rug Doctor from Sam's Club for home and car use. While out I was going to stop off at Home Depot and pick up some Zep products. However, HD has Zep Extractor Carpet Shampoo and Zep Premium Carpet Shampoo. Is the Rug Doctor considered an extractor or a shampooer?

I have been using Meg OTC products (Ult Comp, ColorX, cleaner wax, Ult Wax, Ult det spray, Ult spray wax), armor all glass cleaner, Black tire magic foam, and turtle wax protectant for the inside. We have four cars to keep up and OTC products are getting expensive. I would like to buy bulk /...

The side door trim on my Jeep is gray and ugly. I tried a turtle wax product that did add some life back into the trim, but attracted more dirt than anything. I ordered Forever Black from AG, but it just sat on top the plastic and did not penetrate, despite thoroughly cleaning prior to...

I've been using Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer and Ultimate Quick Wax. UQD for finishing touches on a wash or for light dust. UQW for extra shine and to extend time between waxing. Does Autogeek sell a single product that will do the job of both of the above Megs products?

I want to clean my carpets, carpet floor mats and cloth seats using the shop-vac method. I plan on using Folex for spot removal. Can you recommend a cleaner / shampoo and a particular brush I should use? What do you use to apply the cleaning solution? A regular spray bottle? Has anyone used...
