    What material is my interior made of?

    I have a 2014 Nissan Murano with a "Leather" interior. I want to get a good product to maintain the upholstery. After reading many post it seems that interiors called "Leather" could be straight leather, vinyl covered leather or maybe all vinyl. I talked to the dealer and all I can get out of...

    Blackfire Midnight Sun Carnauba Spray wax question

    Can you layer Backfire Midnight Sun Carnauba Spray wax? Being this is carnauba based I would think you could put on several coats, one after the other BUT are there solvents in it to negate the effect and defeat the effort?

    Still confused about sealants

    I have read post after post concerning the use of sealants, especially spray wipe on walk away sealants. When I first started dabbling with sealants the procedure was to only apply to stripped, bare paint. Now there is Opti-seal that claims it will go over anything, waxes included and it will...

    First use of NanoSkin Auto Scrub Towel

    Wasn't sure what to expect with Iron-X

    Well, I took my first run at using iron-X and hope I did it right. Washed the car and dried it then I sprayed it down with Iron-X. While it was still wet I spread it around with a damp, not wet grout sponge. When I did this it produced a white film. I let this sit for about 5 minutes and then...
