    Tire cleaner

    I apologize if this has been addressed. I had a Honda Accord with alloy wheels and they had a coating. It was almost like a clear coat. And over time it peeled off in some areas. I have bought a new one with the same wheels. My questions: 1. What should I be cleaning them with to prevent...

    Carpet cleaning

    Hey everyone, I've got a detail coming up for a friend of a friend. I'm not a professional by any means, but I do good work when it comes to the basics. This detail is a minivan and there seems to be a lot of staining in the carpets only. (Leather seats thank god). It looks like coffee and...

    Meguiar's Ultimate Black Restorer

    I finally had a chance to use this stuff. I've had it for a while, but haven't been able to put it to the test. It's a little runnier than I would like, however I let it soak into the terry cloth and it becomes much easier to work with. I made my first swipe on the plastic I was addressing...

    Carpro PERL

    Has anyone tried using this product under the hood? I read on their website it can be used on rubber and plastic. It illustrates someone using it under the hood. My real question is, does it attract dust or any other material, causing it to get gummy and nasty looking? Or does it repel...

    Polishing then wax/sealant

    I'm a novice when it comes to polishing or compounding a car. I'm nervous to compound since the car is black. The swirl marks on the car look severe in direct sun, but I'm sure it's because the car is black and things just look worse on black cars. The paint is quite smooth. My question is...
