Here's what I have for leather care so far: Mother's Leather Cleaner Mother's Leather Conditioner Meg's Gold Class Leather wipes Z-10 Leather in a Bottle - haven't tried yet. Woolite (Zero) - haven't tried yet. I find the Mother's leather conditioner kinda oily, but it seems to work ok...

My wife and I have a new '05 Nissan Altima 3.5SE on order. It looks like this: I tried asking in this thread, but no one really answered my question about 9 or 10 posts down: http://autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54884 So I'll try again. We are getting the 3M Clear...

We decided on a 2005 Nissan Altima. Its a 3.5SE with 5-speed manual, Majestic Blue, Charcoal Interior, Leather & Sunroof Package, w/ optional spoiler and 3M Clear Bra. The only unfortunate thing is we had to factory order it as there were none available in Western Canada of that exact...

Having the Guru Report's Top 2 finishers in the tire dressing tests is not a bad spot to be in, but I have to say from my initial testing of Z-16 (scored #2 in the test), I'm not too impressed with its durability. Compared to Armor All Original (#1 in the test), I think that Z-16 LOOKS...

Wasn't it Dupont themselves, the makers of Teflon, that stated years ago that "Teflon" as an ingredient would do nothing for paint protection?? Why is it now that Dupont has their own brand of car care products that are touting Teflon has a new wonder ingredient for the waxes, etc...

Similar to the various threads on QEW (including one I posted myself a while back), is there a nice HOW-TO for novices on how to properly use PB's S&W, and its practical limitations? Thanks.

I have the front fascia (bumper cover) off the Z right now and that gives me unusual access to all the heat exchangers at the front of the car. I usually can't get to these adequately during normal car washings and detailing during the summer. I was quite shocked to see the amount of dead bug...

I just acquired some recently, but haven't used it yet. I was wondering how most people use this product. Is it intended as a regular duty carpet CLEANER, or more as a spot-cleaner, or is it used as a carpet and/or seat fabric PROTECTANT similar to "Scotchguard"? Any tips and...

Of the products I currently own I was thinking of: GEPC VM #80 #7/#81 Menzerna FP II ColorX Products I don't own (yet): AIO PCL PB'w PwC or PP

I need to find a suitable car cover for my baby, a 93 300ZX Twin Turbo. Its non-metallic black. Background information: - garage is an attached two-car, insulated and dry-walled (but not heated) w/ double garage door w/ opener. - car is stored in garage for 5 months each year (typically...

I've been having a problem with the electrical system in my garage and I know I'm going to have to do something soon to fix it. Occasionally I've had my breaker trip due to overloading. My two-car attached garage has: - two overhead spotlights (incandescent I think, not sure on wattage)...

I need some help with PC pad re-education, my way of saying I must've had my head in the sand for a while and now all of a sudden I see there are a whole bunch of new pads out there and I don't have any idea how they relate or fit in with the older pads. First, what I already have: 2 Meg's...

Its about time to get our two daily-driven vehicles ready for the winter season (we're supposed to get our first snow tomorrow). :( Just wondering what the thoughts were on the relative durability between #20 and EX-P. Between those two, and NXT, those are the only "sealants" I own...

I'll give the quick rundown of what I have, then you'll see my problem/dilemma: I have: - coastal tools PC7424 kit w/ 6" backing plate (non-flexible) and 6" counterweight - a couple Meguiar's 6.5" W-8006 polishing pads - a bunch of Lake Country 6" VC durofoam pads in white, yellow and...

How do you guys decide which to buy... if you were only going to get one? The original EX, or EX-P? I understand that EX-P is a pure sealant, no carnuaba. But... still, is one better than the other, and why? Thanks.

I'm having a bit of a love-hate relationship with #81. I love the look that #81 (and its sibling #7, and heck even DC Step 2) gives me. And sometimes it seems to go on and off without difficulty. But on the weekend I did a big detail on my Z and had some smearing problems on removal of #81...

Lately I've been thinking this might be a nice car to replace one of my daily drivers. I'd only be interested in a coupe, not the convertible, and preferrably the 5-speed manual. But it seems to be extremely rare up here in Canada. But it looks like there are plenty to find in the US for...

Has anyone done the legwork to find the best prices within the province for QEW? So far best I've found is ~ $14 for the 16oz and ~ $57 for the 1 Gal size, of QEW (in Canadian $). Thanks.

HI Guys, Is there a method or product that is good for removing scratches from the transparent plastic panels on dash instrument clusters, stereo face plates, etc. ? You know the delicate stuff that scratches if you even breath on it? :angry I'm installing an Apex'i S-AFC-II in my Z...

What I mean by safe is, can you use them on their own when you're in a bind and its not really convenient to do a proper car wash? I envision these being used after a trip on the highway and you've got bugs on the car but your only other choice is to leave them there for now... My two...
