    Is it clearcoat failure?

    Recently I've noticed on my mom's 98 white Civic that it seems to be turning a bit yellow and it looks like some of the yellowing is coming off. I will try to post pics later but are there any ideas to what it could be?

    Is it possible to use Megs Gold Class for example as an alternative to ONR? Would dilution be needed?

    Can I leave the old oil filter on after an oil change?

    I'm doing an oil change on my 08 Toyota Corolla. It has about 3,500 miles. I got all the old oil out on the pan but can NOT get the oil filter off. I was thinking of leaving it on and just adding the new oil until the next oil change. Is this a good idea? I don't drive it much. I got it in...

    Pads question

    Right now I don't have much pads. What I do is clean them with dish soap and water, and then put them between two cotton towels and press down to get as much water out as possible and then wait for about a day for them to air dry. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to put them on the DA...

    Clear bra solution?

    I just bought a clear bra and saw that I would need water mixed with baby shampoo to install it but I don't have any baby stuff. Are there any alternatives to using baby shampoo? Also I've heard that the bra gets scratched/swirled because of the squeegee. How would I remove these without...

    ONR question

    This may sound dumb, but I really want to try ONR and well here goes. How would you go about cleaning the tires, wheels, and wheel wells with ONR? Would you do them first and then the paint or the other way around?:help:

    Pressure

    I just got a G110 with a W8006 pad. I read on Autogeek that you don't need to apply pressure. Does this apply to swirl removing and polishing? Right now i'm trying to use up my supple of Meguiar's DC1 and DC2 before I buy better products. What are some suggestions?

    Rubbing compound

    What exactly is a rubbing compound used for? I've seen some Turtle Wax and 3M products but can't quite put my finger on how they're used.

    Tire cleaner

    What is a good OTC tire cleaner? I tried using Simple Green with a tire brush but for me it's too much of a hassle so I'd rather have a dedicated spray or aerosol can to clean them and just rinse off with water.

    Clear bra from ebay?

    I've seen some really cheap clear bras on ebay. How good are they? I went to get a quote at a local place and they quoted me $400. I just saw a 3M custom made clear bra for $169.99. Is this a good deal? Or should I get the cheaper kinds? This is for an 08 Toyota Corolla S.

    Dilution

    This may sound dumb, but how do you know when the dilution for something is right? How do you know how much water to add to the solution?

    Advice on detailing a Corolla

    I have an 08 (9th generation) Corolla that I want to detail but I'd like to get advice from those that have worked on this kind of paint before. I'm sure all 9th gens (03-08) have the same type of paint so if you've worked on one please tell. It would make things much easier for me to decide...

    So how do YOU clean up your driveway?

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who's left with a dirty looking driveway after a car has been washed. I was wondering what everyone uses to clean it up? My house is pretty much new and it's kind of embarrassing having the only stained and dirty driveway in the neighborhood when everyone else has a...
