    Used Griot’s Garage Brilliant Shine Car Wash today-as a rinseless wash

    ...and it worked great. Can someone shed light on what the make up of a car wash is that qualifies it as a rinseless wash? My vehicle is my daily driver which is a silver 2004 Sienna that has just had iron remover, clay barred, and McKees37 AIO last week. I do this 2 times a year. I had skipped...

    Need help with rubber window trim 2004 Sienna

    I am wondering if anyone has a method to clean this trim up. It looks to me as if the finish is no longer there. I have tried Mothers VLR and it did nothing. I tried Gyeon Trim and it also did nothing. I was going to try a heat gun but figured I’d ask for some help on this one. I did read brake...

    Chrome Alloy Wheel repair

    Does anyone have any recommendation on repairing CA wheel? The car is a 2014 MDX. The weird thing about these rims is that the interior of each fork is metal flake and the outer sections of the fork including the outer rim of the wheel is filled with lines but no metal flake, sort of a two tone...

    Polish and Waxes for dark colored cars question? Do they work any better than others?

    Has anyone actually done comparisons on dark vehicles to be able to tell (I know, subjectively here) that one product works better than another? Example 3M Perfect-It- Foam Polishing Pad Glaze, or the Black Waxes, etc. On my wife's dd black Acura MDX I currently use Megs 105/205, Megs #7, Megs...

    3" pads with PC7424XP stalling

    I was using 3" GG orange polishing pads with M105 and LC white thin pro pads with M205 today and noticed that on the curvy part of my MDX by the rear tail lights my PC would stall at spinning until I adjusted my angle and then at times that did not seem to help much. I could have pulled out my...

    Another Meguiars M105/M205 thread

    I did not want to hijack another's thread but would like to get some opinions here: I have UC and believe it is very user friendly and works quite well but there were some water spots that the UC did not seem to want to get rid of even after 2 complete cycles of 6 passes. This is when I moved...

    Using HF 6" DA on 2006 Toyota Sienna

    Today I used my HF 6" DA with orange Hexlogic pads on my 2006 Toyota Sienna.

    Glass streaking with Pinnacle Glass Sealant

    I cleaned my windows today and then applied Pinnacle's Glass Sealant with a microfiber pad. I let it sit for 15 or so minutes.
