    can you wash a car cover?

    Hey all, I've got a real nice Cover King cover for my Stang. Well after the long winter of hibernation the cover has a nice layer of dust on it. I'm more concerned about any dust on the inside of the cover. Is there a good way to wash these? can you just throw them in the washer? Thanks

    Learned the importance of test spots....the hard way

    I was about 3/4 of the way around the car on my final polishing step and I just wasn't satisfied with the results.:doh: Let me rephrase that, I was disgusted with how it was turning out. But through out the hole process I just kept telling myself "oh it'll get better, It'll turn out good". Well...

    Do I need to wash car after compound/polish?

    I first compounded with M105, now I'm going over it with 205. Do I need to wash or clean it more than just wiping it off before I put on a sealant? Thanks

    What do you do with your car cover?

    Need some reassurance/tips

    Some of you may have seen the project I am tackling in my intro thread. But a quick summary is I repainted my 87 Mustang about 5 weeks ago. At first I thought it turned out ok but now the more I learn and the more I've looked at it I am now disgusted with all of the orange peel. So I'm now in...
