So, I have some rust on my 6 year old Subaru. Took it to one shop and they said they would sand off the rust, spray on some rustproofing, re-paint the area, and then re-clear the entire rear quarter panel (rusting area), roof, and the rear quarter since there are no body seams to limit the...

Possibly looking into getting some OCW for the winter. From what I have heard, durability is pretty good. I have been using DGAW as an LSP booster, and recently also tried some Mother's FX sinceI was looking for a less "sterile" sealant look and a warm carnuba glow. Not sure if the FX will...

Alright, so my son has outgrown his tricycle that I custom painted for him, so this Christmas he is getting a custom painted bike with training wheels. Looking at the piant colors from Auto Air Colors (same paints I used last time), they have pearl, metallic, and candy. Since he loves the Cars...

Have been doing some researching, but haven't really come up with the answer I think I have been seeking. I want to clean the cloth seats in my 05 Subaru. I have a Shark steam cleaner, a shop vac, and a LGM (non-heated). What is the best way to clean the seats so they get clean but aren't...

Well, not really, but it sure looks like they did. :mad: The other week I finally got to claying and polishing the car. Used Meg's Ultimate Compound on a white LC CCS pad. Was real careful, cleaning on the fly, even using the brush every now and then. I thought everything was good. The...

Just curious, but what is the difference in the sealant capabilities between PwS and EX-P? Is PwS just a polish with EX-P added, so an application of PwS would last as long as EX-P? Just curious since I laid down a coat of PwS today and was planning on following up with EX-P closer to winter...

Just curious (since I hope to get to wash the car and polish it this weekend), but what would PwS on a Lake Country black finishing pad do? I plan to wash, clay, polish with Meg's Ultimate Compound (white LC polishing pad), then I wsa thinking of getting a super fine finish with the PwS on a...

Just wanted some others knowledge/opinions. I have a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT. On the drivers side, rear fender well, it appears that I am starting to get some rust. It looks as though the paint has slightly chipped (I could pull off a small piece flaking off if I wanted to), and there appears...

Just wanted to get a sense of the strength of some of the PB polishes and pad combinations (especially since I ran out of SSR1...) since I wanted to try and polish the car this weekend:pray: I have LC white and yellow pads and some SSR2 (a little bit, I don't think enough to do the whole car)...

Just curious what other people usually do. For a long trip (less than a plane ride, maybe 9-10 hours by car), I usually prefer to rent a car to save wear and tear on my wife's car (mine would be too small for that long of a trip :D) and the extra miles and depreciation. She is in outside...

I think I know what the problem is, but just curious on others thoughts. I washed the car on Sunday and noticed some etching on the hood. Since I was out of SSR1 (I really need to do a full polish one day, it has been over a year :redface:), I pulled out my bottle of PwS since it looked minor...

I have a coworker who had someone scratch something all over the hood of both his and his wife's car. It doesn't look like the scratches are real deep, fairly superficial. He is not a real car buff, so he doesn't have (or probably want to buy) the myriad of products that most of us have. I...

I was in the mood to order some more pads as i wasn't too happy with the last ones I bought (one or two of them didn't seem to stick to the BP that well anymore). As I was doing my research on the new pads and trying to decide which pad to get (still not sure yet :crazy2:), I saw a couple of...

Looking at my rubber weatherstripping around the windows, they could use some conditioning. Since I have frameless windows, a portion of the rubber is inside and a portion outside, exposed to the elements. I was about to get some 1Z Einszett Rubber Care Stick Gummi Pflege, but a few reviews I...

Anybody had any luck diluting it 1:1 per the instructions, but using it in a regular bottle sprayer? The instructions say to use it with a spray gun, and I believe (or assume) that means using compressed air, etc. While I have a compressor, I don't feel like dragging it out just to spray down...
