I recently purchased a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Limited in Symphony Silver color. The body is in excellent shape with a few chips/scratches. There is a chip in the hood, in the top of the bumper piece above the grille, and a scratch above the driver side door. The scratch is about 1.25 inches...

I just bought a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Limited for my daughter. It came with tinted windows on the 4 door windows and rear window. The tint on one of the windows is peeling. I would like to get all the tint removed. I am concerned that removing the rear window tint could damage the defroster...

Hi! I am not sure if I am sending this message in the right section of this forum, but here goes. The driver side door of my red 2010 Toyota Camry got hit recently. Just got it back from a nationally known body shop where they had to replace the door. I see a noticeable orange peel effect in...

Somehow, the leather steering wheel on my 2016 Subaru Outback has suffered a scratch or abrasion, probably from a ring. About a inch long. I can feel the rough edge when driving. Is there any way to repair or smooth out this abrasion? In the attached image, the abrasion is toward the top of...

So I was carrying a package with my car keys in my hand and opened the rear door, not realizing the key made contact with the door. I just got the car, a 2016 Subaru Outback in carbide gray metallic, a few weeks ago. Now I have a scratch, about 3/8" long, just above the rear door handle. I...

Hi All: After a long time away from this forum, I am back wanting to learn about the latest in products and techniques. When I was last on this forum, Klasse and Zaino were the dominant polymer types of products and P21S and Soveran were the top waxes. I just got a new 2016 Subaru Outback in...

I need to clean the interior of my wife's 2011 Toyota Sienna. It has leather seating, but I know that there is plenty of vinyl in there as well. I think I can determine which parts are leather and which parts are vinyl based on appearance...but am I right? I think the bottom cushion and back...

Hi Everybody...I have not been here for a while. I just bought a 2010 Toyota Camry XLE with the factory alloy wheels. One of the wheels has some scuffs near the outer edge where the previous owner probably hit a curb. I went on-line and found numerous companys that do alloy wheel repair...

My wife got some nail polish (burgundy colored) on the leather steering wheel of her three month old 2011 Toyota Sienna. It is not a large amount, she accidently swiped her wet fingernail on the steering wheel, which is light gray in color. Any ideas on how to safely remove the nail polish...

Hi: Somehow, I scratched the leather on the steering wheel of my Camry. It is about 3 inches long and not deep. It has sort of a burr running the length of it. Is there any way to remove it or smooth it out without damaging the surrounding leather? By the way, the leather is gray in color...

Hello: Something metallic bounced off the hood of my Camry and then hit my windshield while I was driving. I now have a dent and a scratch in my hood down to the bare metal and some scratches in my windshield. Also along the way I have also accumulated some door dings and scratches in my...

Hi: The front cowl weathestriping (the "rubber" piece that goes between the front windshield and the "plastic" cowling) on my wife's 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan is coming loose at both ends. The Dodge dealer told me that the weatherstriping by itself cannot be replaced but that both the cowl and...

My garage is in dire need of a makeover. I really need storage for car supplies, lawn tools, kids outdoor games, etc. I know that there are several franchised companies that offer cabinets, work benches, etc. for the garage. Can anybody recommend a vendor? Is there anything that I should be...

I have two problems with my phantom gray colored Camry that continue to annoy me: 1. Two scratches (almost gouges) in my plastic (urethane?) bumper that are deep enough to catch my fingernail. They are not very long, about 1/2". Are there any products that would fill the scratches...

I was browsing some car care web sites and came across this item: http://www.topoftheline.com/supsudhosnoz.html Has anybody tried it? Does it look like a worthy substitute for a "foam gun"?
