    Done with Lexol...looking for something new

    Hi guys, I am about done with my jug of Lexol, so I am curious what products you would recommend I replace it with? This is going to be for personal use only, so I can use the 'good' stuff. Ideally I would like something thin enough to use through a toronado black. I can never get the...

    Carmax Ad

    I purchased my car from Carmax, and found a box of crayola crayons under one seat, and some soggy cheetos under a floor mat. I complained after they called to see how I was "enjoying my carmax vehicle", after I told them, they said I could bring it in and they would make sure it got vacuumed...

    Wash car after TSR and before Finishing Glaze?

    Instead of an IPA wipe down, would it make sense to use DoDo Juice Lime Prime, before the glaze? This is just to get my car through winter, during spring, I can plan a more ambitious correcting project, cause the paint on my car is TRASHED!!! I have been talking about this project for...

    Thanks for the fast response. I forgot to mention, I did give it a good scrub down with 1z einszett cockpit premium. It seems to be the foam applicator, it just only really hits the raised surfaces of the dashboard.....

    Black 2006 Acura Detailing Help Needed

    I got the 6 inch Griot's Garage Polisher, it looked to be pretty good from the reviews, and in my current price range. I think you guys were right, this is going to save me a ton of time working on my car, instead of doing it by hand. I also got 1 orange, 3 white, and 2 Crimson LC Flat...

    Black 2006 Acura Detailing Help Needed

    I know, I am getting some great advice! Yes, the soggy cheeto I found under a floor mat told me that CarMax did not really do too much to the interior thank heavens. I looked at an MDX before I bought this car from a different dealership, the dash was so armor all'd up, I had to put...
