    Waterless wash, techniques for SPEED?

    I'm trying to come up with a system to keep my daily driver looking clean with as little effort and money as possible. Ive been using waterless wash a lot while at the Supercharging stations.

    Longest lasting filler?

    Before I got into detailing, I remember trying greasy OTC products with tons of fillers and was always disappointed with longevity. The car would look great for a couple days then the swirls would start showing again. Or the fillers would just wash off in rain or normal washing. I also used...

    Fixing gouge in paint?

    I was driving 80MPH on a busy highway when a medium sized rock came bouncing down the road and landed on top of my hood, creating a smaller dent and gouged the paint.

    Leather seat care questions

    I just bought a car with black leather seats that are already in like-new condition with no signs of use or wear. Can I get away with just using an easy 3 in 1 spray product? I was thinking about picking up Meguiars G7214 Gold Class Leather Cleaner and Conditioner. Is this product alone...

    Does Meguiars make any bad products?

    Ive tested countless products from many different companies, and its always a hit and miss. But to be honest, Ive never purchased a truly bad Meguiars product. There are some that I dont care for as much, but they always have atleast some redeeming qualities. Even their low-end OTC offerings...

    Looking for general tips, product advice.

    I've finally ran out of my 5 year old bottle of Zaino Z-2 and ready to buy a more modern sealant. The Zaino performed very well, but it was kind of a pain working with.

    No time, lazy, need advice...

    I just bought a used 2004 Corvette Z06 in black. The car was maintained very well mechanically, and it was garaged its whole life.
