Anyone have recommendations on how to polish a piece of furniture that is topped with bar topper? It's sat outside for a while, been used as a beirut table, but has a thick coat of bar topper on it. So I just need to freshen up the surface with the 7424. Thanks.

Anyone notice sales people promoting an aerosol wax at your local gas stations lately? As you are filling up your car they approach you to do a demo. They spray a section of your car, wipe it down, and ask you what you think, etc. Pretty bogus operation. I mean they just spray on wipe off...

Ok, first sorry if this horse has been beaten dead by us noobs, but I can say I've read TONS of previous posts to avoid posting repeats. It can be hard to read dozens of strings, pull a piece of wisdom from this one and that one, and then put together the whole story. I've had great success...

Just wanted to know how towing hurts your car. Especially if you have any of the following: full time 4WD, AWD, FWD, the club, Autolock, parking brake engaged, etc. I have AWD with the occasional club and parking brake usage (if it's a sketchy area). I hear it's best if they tow you with a...

Just wondering how many times you use the SFX pads (yellow / white / blue) before they are worn out and you throw them out. I do store them in a slidelock bag, but I haven't done anything to clean them after use.

I didn't find much in a search on detailing plastic trim. So sorry if this is a repeat. Any tips / tricks to detailing plastic and/or rubber trim? Also any recommendations on the best product to use? I was thinking of using Mother's Back to Black and applying it with one of those cheap...

I currently use at deep pile MF wash mitt with Eagle One wash, two bucket method, etc. What I want to know is: how much pressure should I apply to the car with the mitt? I have a feeling I'm scrubbing too much and too hard.

I saw a brand new white Bentley Azure with the top down just parked at the Hilltop Steakhouse of all places on Route 1 in Saugus, MA. $337,000 car next to a Kia! and the Corvette it was parked next to looked like a dirty rug in comparision. I could tell it had a great wax job, perfectly...

I'm thinking about buying a PC soon. For your typical coat of wax how much time is saved by using the PC versus doing a coat by hand?

Do any of you ever recommend using Dawn Detergent? I live in Boston and usually break it out for the first full detail day of the spring season. I figure it strips down the car and lets me build up an good coat of wax evenly throughout the year. But I notice that the first 2 waxing sessions...

I've used this on my tires for a few years now with great results. I've even used it on my rims (stock Ford SUV rims) a couple of times when I'm out of wheel cleaner. I feel the product is effective, but do you think it's too strong or damaging my wheels/tires? Any Bleche White supporters or...
