I’m planning on treating my leather seats with leatherique. I was thinking of leaving the cleaner on overnight with a small space heater in the car. I would plan to keep the sunroof cracked so it wouldn’t get too hot in there. I’d rather have the car sit overnight and get to work on it...

...had the customer be so amazed at the transformation that they decide not to sell the car?

I drive a 1998 BMW 323is in Avus Blue Metallic. I bought it about 2 months ago with 101k miles. The previous owner kept it in immaculate condition (lucky me!!!). To make a long story short, there was an "incident" with a satellite radio antenna that left a large blemish on the trunk lid...

My nephew volunteered to help me this weekend:

I have some nice MF towels that I am very careful with. I also have a giant pile of cheap ones that I use for interior cleaning and cleaning other stuff around the house. Many of the cheap ones have just been thrown in the wash with the regular laundry and dried at regular heat with fabric...

I use a synthetic chamois to dry my car after washing. Sometimes it picks up dirt from accidentally rubbing under a wheel well or inside one the holes in the front bumper. This leaves black streaks on the chamois that I cannot get out. Aside from being more careful, is there anything I...

My car is getting a total respray this week. Beyond the manufacturers curing guidelines, what initial steps should I take to ensure a good shine from the start?

I have some extremely stubborn stains on my car's interior carpet. I've had no luck trying to scrub them out with a myriad of cleaners. I was thinking of just taking the carpet out of the car (this would only take about 20 minutes) and having it professionally steam cleaned like the carpet...
