    Undercarriage Winter Prep

    Winter paint prep has been beat to death, but how about the undercarriage? What good is pristine paint if the chassis is rots out and you can't drive it anywhere to show? I've been out of the snow belt for the last eight years, and have gained great insight into the care of my automobile. Now...

    How to MARK your Paint?

    Hello AGers, I'll soon be shipping two cars back from Hawaii to the mainland. I shipped my wife's car over here without issue a few years ago, but that is far from the norm. Typically, it is nothing but horror stories about the major marine shipper, or the other two smaller players. Cracked...

    UPGP applicator gone bad...

    Okay, so the blue microfiber(MF) applicator pad that came with my Ultima Paint Guard Plus was temporarily misplaced and is now destroyed (to someone who cares about their paint, that is). Knowing how picky everyone is over MF towels, anyone extremely picky on which MF applicator pads are wiped...

    Strange THING on roof.

    Okay, so what is this!? Just put some lowering springs on the Challenger, and now I see this THING on the roof glaring at me. Paint smooth all around; doesn't catch on my nail; just a tiny, spidery, wrinkly star THING...

    Will Sonax FE remove Tuf Shine?

    So I'm finally about out of CG Diablo Wheel Gel, and was looking at Sonax Full Effect. However, I just used Tuf Shine system to clean and dress my tires. As Sonax FE drips off the wheel and onto the tire, will it also be destroying the Tuf Shine "Clearcoat"? If Tuf Shine's tire dressing isn't...

    Experiences with GTechniq G4 Glass Polish?

    So need to take care of waterspots and wipertrails on the windscreen. - straight distilled white vinegar proved woefully ineffective - 0000 steel wool works with a massive amount of elbow grease but requires immediate, thorough cleanup lest you want a ton of rust specks showing up in a couple...

    Cleansing Paint

    1. So after claying and before polishing, a "cleanser" is required to strip off previous waxes and sealants, correct? 2. Would a "Decon" or "Traffic Film Remover" before claying suffice for stripping purposes? 3. It seems quite a few prefer to use a homemade brew of a 9:1 IPA: Dawn...

    Any experience on White Leather?

    Hello All, I have a 2010 Challenger R/T Classic in Furious Fuchsia with white leather. The stitching is a matching fuchsia color. I've been using Lexol or Meguiar's off-the-shelf leather cleaners and I want something more gentle due to all the vigorous rubbing required because of Hawaii's red...

    Taking it up a notch...

    Howdy. Stationed in Hawaii where I bought my 2010 Challenger R/T in January 2011 brand new. Drove it for 8 months, covered for 12, and on the road again the last 8. Still under 20k on the odometer. Hawaii's frequent rain storms and spurts, and the red dirt are always a challenge. I have...
