I was going to spray some protectant on my RAV4’s seats because I just got them cleaned really good. Digging around in my garage closet, my old bottle of 303 aerospace protectant was empty. So I head to Amazon to buy another bottle, and the thing is empty. So I search around, turns out 303 has...

This is a pretty damn good forum. A little slow, but very knowledgeable. For detailing information, I come here. But I also have car questions that aren`t about detailing. Like my new RAV4 I`m wondering about replacing the head unit and wanna read about other people`s experience doing the same...

I`m thinking about putting sheepskin car seat covers on my 2017 RAV4. Googling around, there`s a lot of small shops selling them. But not a lot of information on how good any of them are. This is the best car related forum I know of, so I`m hoping someone here knows a company that makes them...

No idea if the black paint is the same black paint they use on all Toyotas. But I`m looking at buying a RAV4 and not really crazy about any of their colors. So I`m looking at the old black that looks so good, but is supposedly hard to keep clean. Searching through old forum posts, there were...

I`, looking at,purchasing a new RAV4. Toyota offers a few options you can buy with your car that are designed to protect the car from cosmetic damage. I`m figuring you guys are the best ones I know to ask about it. Here are the options you can buy: Resist All - $599. This is like Scotch Guard...

Went to buy my first Little Green the other day, weirdly it was out of stock at all the stores I checked online. Did a few more searches tonight. It looks like Bissell's replaced the Little Green with the SpotBot. reading through Amazon user reviews, people seem to be complaining a lot about...

I've seen the new ONR wash & wax, but I've still got the old ONR. And I'm just using Duragloss #501 and #111 to polish and protect my paint. So I want to use Aquawax and not OCW to do a quick protection layer after washes. So, I've got 2 gallons of water and an ounce of the old ONR in a...

Sister got a ballpoint ink mark on the headliner in her Saab. It's pretty long. Only good thing is that it's on the sunroof visor that slides back and forth. So, if she really wants to get it gone, she can just have the headliner on her visor replaced. I tried Aqua Net hairspray on it, then...

I saw a post int the archives by Scottwax saying the only stuff not to use ONR on is stuff that's porous... Not sure how to determine if a surface is porous or not... But from the sounds of it, maybe carpet would be something that is porous, so don't use ONR on it? I remember Scottwax also...

I was out yesterday doing some interior work on my car. Problem with the windows. There's this greasy substance on the inside of the front passenger and rear window of my car. The substance is completely clear and I can rub the substance around with my fingers. But when I follow that with...

I just tried spraying Brown Royal on some chrome rims that hadn't been cleaned in a long, long time. I sprayed, let it sit a minute, then rinsed off with a consumer grade pressure washer (Karcher, 2000 psi I think, got it at Target on sale). After first time I noticed all the stuff I wanted off...

I'm not sure what it's called, but that trim around the windows on your car. Can I use OPC on that? What is that trim made out of? Is it rubber? Is it vinyl? OPC says it's safe to use on vinyl. If a cleaner says it's okay on vinyl, does that necessarily, or even generally, mean it's okay...

It seems like last time I washed my sister's car (she never has her car's paint sealed or waxed and even washed very rarely), all I did was do a big general purpose cleaner pass (with OPC) and then wash it (with ONR). I saw the car about 4 months later and it was a lot dirtier than it was...

I've been looking all over for this, can't find it. It seems like a year or so ago, the advice on here was either to buy a 100mg it at Autozone with the included lube for like $11. (I just paid $15 for that package at Autozone today). Or, you could get it cheaper online somewhere for a little...

Probably going to buy some kind of vacuum. I'm leaning towards one of the heated Bissells. But, before you run one of those things over the carpet, do you have to have a separate vacuum cleaner to run over the carpet before you use your Bissell? E.g., like to get all the obvious dirt like...
