I bought some BBS RZ wheels. These are nearly 30 years old. UPS still has them, but they are in their way to me. The pictures look OK, but I am assuming they will need some cleaning. Typically I use Adam's Wheel Cleaner, but thinking I might need something a bit stronger. What do you like...

I cleaned up my 1991 BRG Miata. Everything is original, mostly stock, just a solid survivor (can you say that when its only 30 years old)? Shocks and springs have been changed, the shock tower brace is a factory part from a 1999, the radio antenna has been changed, otherwise its as it left the...

What is the difference between Griots spray on wax vs best of show spray wax? I like to have a spray wax for the Miata while other cars get a spray sealant. Now I have Griots spray on wax that I like, but I think it works better on a wet car. I really don’t wash the Miata much so not sure that...

Like the title says, should I get frosted or clear lense LED lights? thanks

I have a 91 British Racing Green Miata. It has original single stage paint that isn’t perfect, but is very nice. The car lives inside, doesn’t see rain, or bad weather. I drive it about 1500 miles a year. Currently I use Wolfgang total swirl Remover and glaze, followed by deep gloss paint...

I am looking for a new all in one interior cleaner protectant. In the past I used Megs Quik interior detailer. I think it is just time for something new. I am between Optimum Opti clean and Chemical Guys inner clean. My real question, how glossy is Opti clean for interiors? Next, is there...

Hi all, like most things in this industry the new hot product or go to changes almost weekly. With that said I am looking for a wheel coating. It will be used on two different cars. Car 1, 1991 Miata, stock wheels, won’t get driven in bad weather, wet roads, garage kept. It will probably get...

Not sure if this really belongs here, but I couldn’t find a place that mentions them. I have never been a big fan of covers. I think anything that touches the paint is risking swirls and scratches. My 91 Miata with single stage paint will be in the garage all winter, it won’t be driven in bad...

What do you use to clean the most neglected wheels?

A friend was in a accident and as a result a window was broken. The tow company put plastic over the side and left it that way. The plastic baked on and stuck to the paint. It flakes off if you pick at it without damage to the car. What can be sprayed on to help speed the process of removing the...

Not sure what this is, it's on 28 year old single stage paint. Is it something I can polish off or? Thanks

It seems I am buying a car with 28 year old single stage paint. What do I need to know that may be special with it? I know just regular carwash soap, microfiber wash mit, and microfiber towels, but what about the rest? thanks

That new car smell, I love it, my wife hates it, it gives her a headache. Yesterday we got a new car, yesterday was also the day it came off the truck so it’s had no time to offgas. The problem is, it’s her car. What if anything car we do to speed up the process of getting the new car smell out...

Looking at ordering Opti Coat glass coat. Does this product interfere with rain sensing wipers? I have never had a car with them so not sure how or where it senses rain. Opti coat gloss coat, does it interfere with all the radar, lane sensors, blind spot sensors, all of that? I am sure...

Hi all, We ordered a new Tucson yesterday that will mainly be my wife's car and family long haul vehicle. She eats and drinks in it, kids eat and drink, pets, you name it. I want to protect the interior best I can. I have never really used coatings except on wheels so... what would you use on...

Hey all, I have a friend who has a color shifting satin wrap. It has a small scuff that she would like fixed if possible. I have seen the scuff and it isn't bad, it it was paint I wouldn't even use a polisher. Is something like this fixable? I don't want to do anything where if fixes the...

Hey all, I am looking for a new interior detailer that has light cleaning ability with some protectant in it. I currently use Megs Quik interior Detailer. I am over the smell though. What is another comparable product? I was almost considering Chemical Guys Innerclean. Thanks

If a guy wanted a few empty gallon jugs where would he get them? I am thinking something more heavy duty than milk jugs, more like what chemicals come in. Thinking like 5 or 6, not a case like uline sells them in.

Hey all, I am wondering if any of you have a tool that attaches to a vacuum to clean the siding seat tracks in minivans. I did one yesterday that was full of mud and dog hair, and all kinds of gunk. I used qtips and did an acceptable job, just thinking how much easier it would be to suck it out...

When I detail a car I leave a business card in the cupholder. I am thinking maybe ordering some eye glass cleaning cloths with my name and number printed on it and leaving that in the car. Almost everyone at least uses sun glasses. Has anyone tried that and would it be better than a card?
