    Small tear in leather upholstery

    Although not in my car, I have a very small (less than 1/2") tear in one of my leather chairs at home. Has anyone used any particular kits or products to fix this kind of thing? Thanks.

    Foam cannon feedback

    I just purchased a pressure washer, and am going to get a foam cannon. Does anyone have recommendations for a good-quality (not top-of-the line) cannon? Thanks.

    SiO2 without the water

    Maybe this has been discussed elsewhere, but I can`t find it. What would happen if I were to use an SiO2 product as a spray wax (without shooting the water spray at it)? Thanks.

    Gyeon Wet Coat usage

    I`ve been using this on a couple of my cars, but I think I may be using too much. I have less than half a .5L bottle left after two full-size cars. Can anyone advise, for instance, as to how many sprays per panel of paintwork? Thanks.

    Marine products

    I know this may be little off-topic, but many of us must also have boats. Does anyone have a preferred wax/sealant/coating for use on a fiberglass boat used in salt water for about 5 months a year? Thanks.

    Long-lived bird crap

    Just bought a 2016 ruby red Ford Escape. Although I knew it had been sitting on the lot for a few months, I made the mistake of not checking the roof for spots. Unfortunately, there are several areas where the birds crap has been sitting for a while before the washing. Are there any...

    3M Paint Defender

    Have any of you guys used this stuff yet? I put a coat on the hood of my Chevy Volt, but it is almost impossible to get it to stick without running down on the sharply down-angled part of the hood. Is there some trick I should know to use it on more vertical surfaces? Or it isn't really...

    Opti-Coat 2.0

    I have a new Ford Focus SE in Blaze Yellow, and used the OC 2.0 today. What a great product to use. I washed the car with dish soap, clayed, polished, washed again and applied the OC 2.0. Went on very easily, flashed off quickly, and almost no "high spots". Five hours later, the car looks...

    Interior detail in CT?

    I need a good interior detailer to do my daughter's 2005 Legacy GT. Cloth seats; nothing horrid, just three years of not being properly cleaned. I'm near Hartford, CT. Any ideas? Thanks. I hope I'm not violating any forum rules; this seemed like a good place to look.

    Brake dust on wheels too long..

    I just washed my Corvette after not having been able to wash it since last November. When I tried to clean the chrome wheels (with Griot's wheel cleaner), there is a lot of brake dust that appears to be etched or really stuck to the wheel. Is there any particular product anyone has used that...

    Rain Clear?

    Anyone try this new product yet? Supposedly made by the originator of RainX, after he sold that product to a bigger company.

    R 2000

    Has anyone tried a sealant called R 2000 by Dupont? I saw a comment on an RX-8 web page about it. Claims to be extremely long-lasting, and I thought it might be good for cars that need to be left outside all the time. See "sparkleauto" web site.

    Glare paint sealant

    Anyone ever use Glare Paint Sealant with "Glassplexin"? I saw it on www.detailking.com and I was curious if it was as good as they seemed to think? Thanks.

    Different wax for different parts?

    Have any of you thought about putting different waxes/sealers on different parts of the car? For instance, the horizontal parts (hood, roof, etc.) get more sun, higher temps than the sides. OTOH, the sides get more crap thrown up from the road, and probably require different protection...

    Dave: Great service!

    I just received my order of AIO and Klasse polish. Just took three days from coast to coast. I was very impressed with the application pads that you included. Would definitely tell folks to order here! Thanks! Dave C.
