    MF Cleaning: Distilled Vinegar?

    I recieved my first set of MF's from my girlfriend on Christmas, but they have been sitting unused so far. After reading all the archives stuff on (the debated) topic of cleaning MFs, I am now looking for some Distilled Vinegar to add to my rinse. There in lies the problem, as all the grocey...

    Going to Florida: What to bring/do to keep 'er clean?

    Well, my family and I will be leaving after Christmas for a week of R&R in the sunshine state. I am looking forward to it, but am concerned with maintaining the looks of our STS while down there. Rather than wing it, I figure it would be best to ask everyone here! What do you guys think...

    Caddy had new paint technology for 95/what changed?

    I did a little research on my 1995 STS, as I could recall that Cadillac introduced a new type of paint techique that year...but I knew nothing further. I came across a blurb that said, "And for 1995, new waterborne paint technology provides an even more lustrous finish." So what gives...

    Something wierd has happened to my wheels

    Something strange happened one of my wheels, and I can't really understand why only one would be effected... The deal is, the back drivers side wheel seems to have dirt...possibly brake dust, embedded in the wheel, however all three other wheels cleaned up like new during washing. I tried a...

    Some PC questions

    I think I am ready to invest in a PC to do the work for me, as I don't think having arms that feel like spaghetti noodles is a very rewarding trait, after a detail! lol Some questions I would like to clear up though are, 1)I have read the reviews, and am scared I would be dangerous if I...

    Bringing life back into Jeep with shot paint

    This job I am looking into seems like quite the task, so I figure I'd better "ask the experts" (you guys!) before going about it. The vehicle is a red, 91 Jeep TJ (the traditional kind), and the task at hand is to try and bring life into the neglected paint. I have seen some pretty amazing...

    To cold to polish/wax? (Hope not!)

    Hello! I have been running by the coin op. weekly to try and keep the winters war on my cars at bay. Don't get mad at me yet!!...I'm only using their water, not those dirty, stiff, scratch inducing brushes. (The fun part is driving with a bucket of soapy water, without spilling it from the...

    What to treat weather striping with?

    Could anyone recomend what to use on the rubber weather striping, around the doors, sun roof, and trunk? I want something that will keep the stuff "moist", for a while, but not be messy.....I have tried Vaseline (greasy) before, and can only find silicon grease in spray cans, which are messy...

    Could a paint product remove CD scratches, like it does on paint?

    This may seem a little odd, but I figured it was worth asking! I guess CDs have a plastic coating on them, and obviously not similar to paint, but would some products work to remove the little scratches that get onto CDs (yes, sometimes I neglect to keep them safe in their case!). Thanks if...

    Are Mothers products good/great?

    Before discovering Autoia (:bow ) I purchased the 3 bottles of Mothers 3-step, last fall. After reading and learing alot of good info from Autopia, these Mothers products that I thought were the best of the best, seem sub-standard now, to all of these products that seem very exotic-like...

    Paint wearing off rims...looks terrible

    The chrome wheels on my 95 STS have silver paint (from the factory) coated on the inner part of the "triangular" space in between each spoke. This paint is wearing away and looks terrible, as the chrome quality beneath the paint is very poor (it looks more like crappy stainless steel!), and, of...

    Does my leather have "black heads"...won't come clean!

    The leather in my STS seems to have dirt stuck in all the little pores of the hide--almost like black heads. It is tan, and looks good from afar, but it is far from good! The Turtle Wax "Emerald Series" leather cleaner/conditioner that I use does not seem to be able to lift out the dirt. This...

    New fog light on right, hazed one on left=ugly!

    After a fender-bender repair on my 95 STS, the right fog light was replaced w/ a new one. It looks great (as does the repair work), but the left fog is now really showing its age, with the contrast between the crystal-clear passanger side one, and the hazy, sand-blasted look of the old one. My...

    Where can I get some Klasse Products?

    I just discovered this great little community! The "Klasse Twins"... the AIO and the Sealer/Glaze (sorry, I don't know the acronym for the second one) seem like "wonder products"! I have never heard of Klasse before but would love to start using it, and wonder where I can purchase some. Is it...
