Has anyone a favourite windshield washer product for winter use? I'm in piedmont NC where our low temps rarely go below zero degrees F. Thanks, HRP

Would appreciate some advice. I have a PC and need to purchase some 5 1/2" foam pads, but do not want to overbuy. 1) My 1991 Red Reatta has some swirl marks but no significant other defects. Has a lot of relatively flat panels so can be more easily detailed. 2) 2002 silver Lexus LS430 is...

Every time I try to open Reviews, I get a half darkened screen which begins under the "Interior Detailing Products. Is there a problem here??? Thanks, ****

Howdy All, It's been a long time since I was active here, probably close to 4 years. Have had illness, surgery, etc. Now getting back active again and would like to get an update on the status of several detailing products. My favourites 4 years ago were basically the Zaino products ranging...

This may be the wrong forum on which to post this, but has anyone any experience with Invisible Glass Wiper Blades? I first read about IG with Rain Repellent on this site, bought some and was impressed. Just got the email ad today for their new wiper blades and thought I'd ask about them here.

My father-in-law's 1998 Ford Crown Vic is flat out filthy. He's 92 and hasn't had it cleaned since he bought it new. Need a local detailer (who does this for local used car dealers.) I clean and detail my own cars, but am not up to this job. Thanks, **** (Greensboro, N.C.)

Attached (I hope) is a pic of a "stress tear" on the driver's armrest of my 1991 Reatta. I've been told by several vinyl repair professionsals that this cannot be successfully repaired because of the location and the stress the area is under. Surely this is not an uncommon problem. I suspect a...

Somewhere on this site there has to be instructions as to how to properly format and upload a photo from my computer (Windows XP). I have a question regarding interior detailing and cannot upload a standard JPEG photo to show my problem. Currently it is 401.505 bytes 96x96 dots per inch...

As a followup to a question which I previously raiised on this and a couple other forums, I aasked my service manager about the best way to treat the upper window gasket on my Lexus 2002 LS430 which becomes rough between routine cleanups. I'd been using Z-16 for this. He recommended that I clean...

On my LS430, at the inside top of all 4 side windows is a black 1 1/2" composite seal (for lack of a better term) which helps keep the windows sealed when they are raised. Each time I detail this area, this "seal" is somewhat rough rather than smooth as it is after I've "dressed" it. I suspect...

Opinions please. I am replacing my original (purchased new) 1991 Buick Reatta's (100k ) dirty white and worn out vinyl top (glass rear window) with a tan Haartz cloth one within the next 2 weeks. I have received mixed advice regarding the need to use any sort of protectant on the top. So I...

After 17 years, the dirty white vinyl top on my '91 red Buick Reatta is dying. A replacement tan fabric (Haartz) top is on order (heated glass rear window). Advice regarding the initial treatment (vacuuming, cleaning, protectant, etc) would be appreciated. The car is a daily driver and the...

Moderator: please move this to the appropriate forum. I just received this through the Dixie District Barbershop (Yeah, I'm a singer too) and thought y'all might like to know about Yahoo's tracking policy and how to opt out. Harmmmmmmmoniously, HRP DIX-Dist-Members] Yahoo is Tracking...

In the past my wife and I have usually purchase low milage newer cars, but recently she bought a 2001 HONDA CR-V with only 67k on it and in excellent condition. The previous owner bought it new then decided to move out of the country. She also burned incense in the car. We've detailed...

Your comments and recommendations about the better carpet extractors would be appreciated. Thanks, HRP
