    New Tint Installed - How do I protect the film from scratches

    I'm particularly concerned with scratches caused by dirt or other material being present in the window channel or whatever we call that horizontal seam that the window travels up and down through. How do I clean this channel? How often should I clean this channel? Thanks in advance!

    ISO Leather Conditioner to complement Megs Leather Cleaner

    Bought Megs Leather Cleaner a couple of years ago not knowing that they didn't sell a stand along Leather Conditioner (at least available in gallon size) and I'm not keen on using the Gold Class product (though I could be swayed). I have an 2006 Chrysler 300c SRTR8 and that's the leather I am...

    Megs ULW & UFF - Tips for application

    Preparing to give my 2006 300c SRT8 (black) it's winter protection. I'll be washing, iron-x'ing, claying, and then spot treating with Megs UC, run Megs UP over her, and then....well that's the question. My inclination is to apply ULW, wipe off, then apply UFF the next day. But, UFF being a...

    Looking for a reasonably priced foam cannon soap...

    ...that actually cleans and rinses well. Seems my two main options are hyperwash and honeydew, but I don't k ow what else is out there. Mind you, I gulped seeing the $30 per gallon price here at AG, but with the current 20% off promo, well, every bit counts. I'm leaning towards hyperwash...

    Need 3" backing plate and pads and an AIO

    I have a Brilliant Black 06 300c SRT8. The paint is in really good shape except for the various rock chips, i.e., no deep scratches, no marring, no swirls. Well, it does have water spots on the roof that I haven't been able to get off with Megs UC, though, admittedly, I didn't really work it...

    How to clean calipers painted with VHT Caliper Paint?

    Just painted my Brembo calipers that are my 06 300C SRT8. I used VHTs high temp primer, caliper paint, and clear coat on them. I am wondering if Griots HD wheel cleaner is too strong for them? If so, what alternative wheel cleaner should I use? Thanks in advance.

    Help with DIY repaint of lower front clip

    I have a 2006 300C SRT8. The car has a lip on the bottom of the front clip. When I bought it, the underside of that lip was pretty scratched up from being pulled over parking blocks or rubbing pavement when going down a steep drive into a roadway. Out on the ends, the damage isn't bad with...

    Advice regarding Torq polishers - Keep or Sell

    I got an incredible deal (price mistake) at Amazon for two Torq polishers - the Torq 10FX and the Torq ToqX. I currently have a GG 6 with 6" and 5" plates and have been thinking about buying a 3" backing plate for it to use smaller pads. Now that I have these 2 additional polishers, I'm...

    Wax & Sealant longevity

    I watched one of Mike's videos yesterday re: application of sealants. During that video (the one with the Yellow Charger), Mike indicated that waxes can last up to 3 months and sealants up to a year or even more. This more or less aligns with what I have read here at AG and has been my rule of...

    I've bought a variety of products over the last year to round out my weekend warrior detailing supply rack, yet, I routinely find as I am reading threads here that I am missing something (Griot's 16x16 mf towels, for example) or have a product that isn't quite up to the task (Megs Gold Class...

    Foam gun vs foam cannon - weekend warrior stuff

    I've read many threads here at AG re: both guns and cannons, but can't yet figure out the better item for my situation - I'm a backyard detailer with an 05 Pacifica and an 06 300c SRT8. I wash both...a lot using the 2 bucket approach, but it takes me a long time and wifey doesn't like that. If...

    2006 300C SRT8 with 85k miles. Had the windshield replaced and after the first 2 which had defects and my own user error, I have a 3rd that I want to make I sure protect, if possible.

    Towel selection for all uses and cleaning care

    I'm a backyard/garage detailer washing and detailing my car and, now, several neighbor cars. I've only ever used old bath towels and other soft towels for drying (stop throwing rotten fruit at me!!) without, that I can see, any adverse results in the paint. I usually take my largest towel to a...
