My family purchased what is known as a “mini Moto” category of motorcycling, which are the little bikes Honda makes such as the GROM, NAVI and MONKEY. Probably more commonly colloquially known as “pit bikes“. The new navI that we have is completely made of plastic that I believe some type of...

so the disc brake on my scooter has about 6000 miles on it, and the picture above is the brake after it’s been completely degreased and brush cleaned with Sonax wheel cleaner, which has left it looking very chalky and washed out. I do not want to paint it, is there anything that I can use that...

My friend has a six year old Honda black Civic coupe, and the car is immaculate, he takes really good care of it but the sun has taken a toll on the rear trunk spoiler that is plastic, it is absolutely destroyed from the UV and turned all sorts of Blanche white… It needs to be repainted, or...

I’ve got polishing headlights down pat, with a combination of wet sand, rotary polishing and compound, I can get virtually any plastic headlight cover returned to virtually optically clear. But what I don’t have an answer for, is what to do then. Because several that I have done, after a...

I have a black powder coated motorcycle muffler on my scooter, it is not black chrome… What can I use that would make the dirt bounce off of it after a rain? I have cancoat, cquk, and a lot of the spray SIO2’s… I guess the question is , would Cancoat or cquk work on a high temp item? The bike is...

I’m going to use this product tomorrow on my motorcycle. I have watched Mike Phillips video with the gyeon guy where they use the large microfiber to apply it. I would like to do some intricate areas of the bike sides and not do other sections, is it OK to apply the Cancoat with the Cquartz type...

This is one of those products that just works everytime. Once a month I travel about 300 miles across Florida on the interstate and usually encounter bugs somewhere on the trip. Last week I made the trip, came home with a front end infested with all sorts of bugs… Spray on the bug squash at...

So somebody has scratched the paint above the door handle somehow and then Done a terrible bonehead touch up job, anybody want to take a guess what a body shop would charge you to repair this to acceptable? There is absolutely no dent whatsoever they are all surface scratches…it’s a ruby red...

If you are using a Phillips CPAP dreamstation to combat your apnea, stop using it. There’s a filter inside that could be carcinogenic. There is a recall, Google it.

I have a widow that lives near me that just bought a new Subaru crosstrek. This car is absolutely an appliance for her, I do not expect her to even wash it more than about once every couple months. Carport kept in Florida. However she has asked me for something that she can put on the car that...

I’m now at four months of my 303 graphene and after a Touchless car wash I applied the elixir. Granted, this is a new car but the only prep that I did on the car prior to the graphene was a wash, no polishing. The paint was an absolutely in stunning shape straight from Bmw. But the elixir that...

Over the years I’ve tried tons of stuff to keep my tires nice and clean, from SIO2 coatings, to foams, to sprays. I have found some really good ones but they all involve bending over which at my age of 70 , I don’t feel like doing anymore. So this absolutely solves my problem. I now use a cheap...

My new BMW X2 uses a color for a lot of the lower parts of the car called cerium gray. It’s basically a paint every place but the exhaust, and the exhaust have been plated with a matte colored treatment. What would you suggest I use to protect them and make them easy to clean? I have some Cquk...

So I got my new X2M delivered to me yesterday morning, and I went to work right away adding a sealant. I was absolutely amazed at how good condition the paint was in, (baggie test was negative) straight from the vehicle prep center, the dealer did absolutely nothing to it except hose it down and...

mike et.al..... My health is so so, I don’t really work on my car too much anymore. But I certainly like a clean car. So I can muster up the effort annually to polish/treat the car with car Pro essence gloss enhancer using my orbital, and then I have a question. Which of the below products that...

Meghan set me some of this and I had the perfect use for it. I had sealant on all my plasrtic on my scooter that was dirty and starting to look old. I used the wax remover on the trans cover with great results...I like this stuff, will follow with Poorboys natural look later:

Recently are I used mother’s back to black tire cleaner to get off some brown tire blooming that had come to the surface of my new Michelin tires. It worked perfectly. Someone else pointed out that Meguires hot rim cleaner also works well. At that point somebody chimed in on another car site...

I see a lot of situations on the car forums where some unscrupulous detailers are selling newbies with brand new cars a 2 stage polish correction, then PPF like Xpel or Suntek, and then ceramic pro or any of the si02 coatings to "protect" the PPF. I'm pretty sure that this is overkill. Do...

Did a search and found a little bit on using foam with d300 but wanted to expand this.… I found a comment Guz made about using a foam pad with the d300, which is what I want to do tomorrow on my new 2018 Honda HRV. It's just the typical Japanese new car paint that has virtually no gloss to it...
