    Rain damage on interior

    What should I do to take care of rain that got in one of our cars. The back window was left open and the carpet on one side is very wet. Everything got pretty wet, the leather seats, vinyl, carpet etc. I don't want it to start smelling like mildew, how can I prevent this immediately?

    Pinnacle Souveran Liquid worth the price?

    I will be doing my brothers car which is a black FX35 and just can't afford the paste. Is the liquid version just as good or am I better off with Natty's blue? I will be cleaning/prepping the paint with Poli-Seal.

    Grit in sheepskin...Toss or Wash?

    Thanks to my OCD, I can't decide whether to toss or wash one of my mitts that touched the driveway ever so slightly while still on my hand when I was tackling the rocker panels. A tiny bit of grit was present on the top of the mitt. Should I toss or rinse and reuse?

    Does ZAIO Replace ZFX?

    I understand ZFX is/was required for faster curing but now with ZAIO as a base can Z2/Z5 be applied WITHOUT ZFX and have the same results? For instance, ZAIO, Z2x2, CS (no ZFX).

    Repainted bumper at dealer - ok to polish?

    My brothers FX35 got into a slight accident and we sent the car to get the front bumper repainted. Well they repainted it (a horrible job, paint is chipping where the license plate frame is) and I am wondering if they put clearcoat on the bumper? Will I have huge amounts of paint transfer if I...

    Best place to get sheepskins

    I know Wal-Mart has them, but it seems as if a lot of them are really thin and non-plush. Also, the way they are packaged is just by stuffed into that little box, nothing seems to hold them in securely. I wonder if they were dragged around on the floor or dropped before they were put on the...

    Best method to tackle dirty rocker panels?

    I usually spritz QD onr on them but there is always a little something that remains on the paint and I don't want to scrub it with my mitt (may induce marring). Usually there is little specks of dirt or maybe even clumped brake dust that just won't come off. How would you go about these...

    Allowing polish to dry to a haze neccessary?

    With AIO products like Prime and KAIO, I noticed that with PC application you don't let the product dry to a haze after the initial application, you simply work it in till it breaks down (is this true?) and then wipe off residue with an MF. When polishing by hand, should I allow the product...

    Extremely stubborn caked-on brake dust

    I've tried clay (sonus green ultra fine) and soapy water with a brush but can't get the spots out. There are a few patches on the wheels itself, in the corner of the spokes. I don't want to cross the line of going TOO aggressive because they are clearcoated. What can I do? A more aggressive...

    Recommend polish for aluminum exhaust?

    I would like it to not polish the exhaust to a chrome finish. My exhaust tips are constantly dirty from the turbo build up, I need something to polish it out (regular cleaning won't get this stuff completely out) while maintaining its flat aluminum look. Thanks.
