    New truck...how to wash the whole thing?

But the problem that is beginning to bug me is getting the "middle" of it washed (hood, windshield, etc.) since it is so big it's not possible to "reach" to the center area of the windshield and hood. The top of the...

    Scotchguard......tips?

    I am assuming that this is the right forum since I believe that Scotchguard would be a LSP? My question is, does anyone have any tips on applying Scotchguard on seats, carpets? Is there a way other than spraying it? Can you apply first on cloth then on upholstery, rugs? Just bought a can...

    Meguiar's Ultra Plush Wash Mop...

    I ordered and received the item last week. Time came to wash my car on Sunday and I got my stuff together. I extended the wash mop and was able to do the entire top of my car without going around to the other side. Pretty good so far...... The problem I had was when I was doing the hood. I...

    Meguiar's Versa Brush......

    I bought the WIDE Meguiars Versa brush and have been using it for about 6 washings. No problem. I usually hang it on 2 hooks, horizontally, and put a bucket underneath the brush to catch the drippings. Well, I bought my Toyota Truck over the weekend and opened my garage to wash the truck, and...

    Is this true?

    I got the below quote from this link: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Never-Wax-Your-Car-Again_W0QQitemZ4587440491QQcategoryZ72454QQcmdZViewItem "Car waxes do not provide the long term protection necessary to guard against this type of damage. Most car waxes are made from inexpensive carnauba waxes...

    New 7424 oozing a little lubrication

    I recently (about 45 days ago) bought a PC 7424 and have not had a chance to use it yet. I put it in a nice box that my wife brought home which was originally for a Game Cube (all aluminum, foam inside--it fit perfectly). I laid it down in the box pad up. My Edge 2000 pads arrived the other...

    I saw one of those foam pads with a cut out section in it where you put your car clay and form it to the hole and then clay the car with the PC 7424. Does anyone here have input on this whether it would be a good idea or not to clay a car this way? I have never clayed a car, but my 7424 will...
