Can someone please tell me if 303 Fabric Guard actually blocks UV rays? On their website it only states that it "reduces fading" however there is nothing that directly states that it has UV protection. I sent the distributor an email but never got a response that's why I'm asking here. I...

I recently got myself some Optimum Power Clean to use as a pre-wash/bee poo remover. I've diluted it 3:1 and put it in a spray bottle. I just want to know if I should wet the car down first before applying or should I spray it on dry paint, THEN hose the car off before washing? The problem...

I've been meaning to post this for a while as I thought some of you might be interested. This happened on Christmas day, when my wife's nephew placed his Christmas present on the bonnet of our black Merc which I have previously paint corrected. The present in question was a remote controlled...

I always get these little brown or tan coloured dots on my car's paint, I'm just wondering what they are? Washing alone doesn't get them off. You can scratch them off with your fingernail but that instills very small scratches in the paint. The car is parked out in the open and clear...

Is Aerospace 303 designed to work on glass? I was in a rush last time I used it and got over-spray on the windscreen and wipers. The next day it rained and once the initial smear had cleared, the wipers were silky smooth and the water droplets seemed to glide off the glass more easily. If...

What's a good upholstery cleaner for cloth/suede seats that I can spray on and vac/wipe off? I work with a lot of MDF and the dust has embedded itself into my driver's seat and vacuuming alone doesn't seem to help anymore. It seems to have 'dulled' the colour of the fabric.

Hi everyone! Just thought I'd share some of the things I have learnt since coming across these excellent forums a little while ago. I have always enjoyed maintaining my car however since stumbling across Autogeek I feel it's gone to a higher level. I downloaded Mike's Detailing E-book and if...

After a small spending spree at the Autogeek store, I was excited to try polishing the bonnet (hood) on my wife's black 2013 Mercedes B180. I got it looking perfect under the garage lights, flood lights and my LED torch, but was shocked to walk past it yesterday while the sun was out and...

Hi everyone, After reading many posts about how great the Porter Cable, Meguiar's and Griots Garage DA polisher's are and lamenting their lack of availability in Australia, I came across this in a SuperCheap Auto catalogue the other day. It was advertised on special for only $79.95 so I went...

Hello everyone, I'm relatively new here and believe me I have used the search function but the amount of information is quite overwhelming so I thought I'd put up a post. My wife and I have recently purchased a 2013 Mercedes B180 in 'Cosmos Black Metallic'. The car only 6000km's old and the...

I know ill probably get hammered for even mentioning this, but I've got an old bottle of Nu Finish. :/ Is it good for anything or should I throw it in the bin? I did a search and couldn't find much on it, some said its a paint sealer? Would it be worth using with a coat of wax over the top?

Hi everyone, I've been reading up on a few past threads about restoring black plastic trim with UTTG/303 etc. I would just like to know what's the best product to use to actually clean the trim before restoring it? For example, car wash and a brush or is there a specific product I should use...

Hi there, I'm new to the forums, I came across them while trying to find where to get some 3000 grade wet and dry paper on Google! I'm not a professional detailer (I'm a car audio installer), but I have painted a few cars and then cut them back etc and am now in the process of restoring the...
