    Rust Prevention Product?

    I used a 2 stage product made by Noxudol on my Tacoma. It has first a waxy like product that gets sprayed inside frame rails and in hollow components. I also sprayed it around body plugs before spraying the second stage which is the thicker tar like product. Quite a task though...

    Back to Basics..

    I couldnt agree with you more. Its amazing the products that are available for removing damage but there arent many at all for preventing it. I guess if companies focused on prevention.. they would have no more business though..

    Back to Basics..

    I have seen those and they do look very similar to the ones I have been using. I have literally had them for over 4 years and they haven't fallen apart yet. But they are dingy and I could use some new ones.

    Back to Basics..

    Seems to me this is a very large gap in the market that no company has managed to fill yet. This is the mitt I was talking about that I now cant seem to find. It doesnt have a deep pile like some people are looking for but it also doesnt weigh 75lbs when wet and empty your bucket in 2 dips...

    Back to Basics..

    So, I have been wondering for a while, what is the best wash mitt? I have a hard time finding any that I actually like using. I have only found one which another site sell one side white microfiber, the other yellow scrubbing microfiber. Can I improve on that glove?

    New Product - Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0

    Perfect! Now.. this may be difficult to answer but right now I am on the fence between Opti-Coat and CQuartz as I'm sure many others are as well. What are the differences between the 2?

    Buffing Painted Wheels

    One of the problems with wheels is they use a different clear coat than the body of the car. I have used a plastic polish in the past with much better results.

    Clearing snow without creating swirl marks

    I was JUST about to mention that.. One thing that has not been mentioned is the fact that its not only the tool being used to remove the snow that causes scratches, it is the snow itself. Snow is a bunch of tiny little crystals that are sharp. Just sliding snow over the paint can cause damage.

    PB's Bug Squash Worked!

    So I had made another post assuming that my undercoating overspray was only going to be removed with something very aggressive like Body Solve, but, following one of Mike Phillips tips to try the least aggressive option first, I had also ordered some Poorboys Bug Squash just in case that...

    Door Trim Outer Seal
