I want to get opinions on what the best all in one paint cleaner/polish/wax product for me would be. This would be for my DD which is a 2010 black jeep wrangler unlimited. It has a hardtop which is painted with a factory flat/matte style black paint, it also has unpainted black plastic fender...

For washing, before I knew much about good car care I used a regular cheap sponge. Then I went to microfiber cloths and used those for a while. Now I usually use a microfiber mitt or sponge covered with microfiber. My questions are: What do people use? What is the least likely to cause...

I have a small spot on my my jeep with some orange peel. It is a new vehicle and the dealer damaged the tailgate and then had it repaired at their bodyshop. In the end it came out OK but has some orange peel which I would like to remove. It is only a small area(about 1 sqft) and I want to do...

Has anyone ever done this? I just got a new wrangler and I usually always undercoat vehicles I buy. I use either spray can undercoat(rubberized Marhyde) or I bring it to a place where they spray on a rubberized coating. The problem is that it looks messy in the end and I worry that rust will...

I noticed that 303 sells a vinyl/fabric cleaner in addition to the convertible top cleaner. It is also at local marine shops. Do you think it is the same or as good as the 303 convertible top cleaner? On the website it says it is for cleaning indoor or outdoor vinyl.

I took my 08 Jeep wrangler offroading and on the passenger side I got 2 scratches basically along the entire side of the jeep. Initially they looked bad with a white appearance to them. I used Megs ScratchX 2.0 and then 3M clearcoat safe compound. Now the scratches are not that noticeable but...

During the cold months I usually wash my car and am not able to wax because the wax products don't really work in the cold. So, I was thinking of using a wash and wax car soap for the cold months when I can't wax. Does this sound like a good idea or not? Any other better options?

I have an 08 jeep wrangler, after some offroading my engine block and heads got really muddy. I tried quickly washing the engine with soap and water a few hours after but it didn't work. Now the aluminum is stained tan. I tried some gunk and rewashing but it still is discolored. I'm gonna...

You guys are going to laugh at me. I have an 08 Jeep wrangler in addition to my firebird. It is an X model and has a lot of black plastic. I started using ICE Liquid Polish on it as my LSP with the ICE spray detailer after washes. I know the ICE stuff gets trashed alot but I hate getting...

I picked up some Turtle Wax F21 super protectant spray at pep boys. I used it on the interior, plastic vinyl and leather steering wheel. It says it will work on all these surfaces. Looks pretty good and not greasy. I was going to also use it on my leather seats because they are coated...

Just wondering what(if anything) works well to keep black plastic exterior trim looking good. I acually have been using ICE Polish on just the black trim and it seems to work ok. Any thoughts, or other products?

I don't use soap when I wash my cars. I just use a clean microfiber towel and plenty of water. I feel like the wax holds up better without using soap. Anyone else wash their car soapless?

I'm a new member at DC, have browsed the forums for a while. For my first post I have a question. I generally use carnuba as my LSP. I like the look and feel better than sealants or synthetics. Do you guys think it matters what brand carnuba wax is used for LSP? I generally use Meguiar's but...
