Hello Everyone, I have a 1999 Toyota 4Runner that has a tan leather steering wheel with heavy wear at the 12 o'clock position. It is past the point of conditioning and cleaning, however I am now trying to find the next best option. I have searched the forums and found AGLA (alan gun...

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have tried numerous times over the years to clean the engine in my DD 01 Crown Vic, and while I have been able to get the plastics and paint clean, I've never been able to get the block clean. I've tried gunk engine cleaner, purple...

Good afternoon Everybody, Last night bought and used some Mother's Powerpolish on my white Vic hood with yellow, orange, and green Edge pads. While most of the swirls seem to have been removed fairly easily, the light scratches seem to have stayed. I did the hood at a rate of about 1in...

I am looking at both the Sonus SFX pad kit and the Edge 2000 kit, and was wondering what if any noticeable difference there is between the two. My original white pad has finally done itself in, so I would like to upgrade to a good quality pad, looked at Propel but after the recent thread on...

Hey all, I tried my PC on my 99 Crown Vic today which has horrible swirls and scratches, and I noticed no difference what-so-ever. Now i should mention that I used the white pad that came with it. But I would think that I would have noticed some improvement! BTW, I used 3M Fine Cut...

Hey guys, I had a question about foam pad use. I was wondering whether or not you could reuse foam pads for multiple polishes, as long as you cleaned the pad with a horsehair brush afterwards, or washed them (??). The reason I ask is it seems that with there being 4 or 5...
