I've searched and searched and come to the conclusions that 1) I'm blind 2) No one has ever mentioned this product before. I am talking about Rain X Ultra Wax in Liquid or Paste form. I've seen these products before and today I saw they were 1/2 price on clearance when I was picking up EO...

Hey everyone, Whenever I goto the local bay wash, I just do the sides and top of the car. The undercarriage is always left untouched. I know since its still freezing outside, corrosion isn't a worry, but I would like to reduce the amount of gunk underneath every week or so. Do you have any...

I've been trying to track down BLACK bead covers for the drivers seat. They are just like the ones taxi drivers (I see that taxi drivers have them the most), but in BLACK. They are very comfortable when I go on long drives, and especially in the summer. Unforunately, just like anything, over...

I put rain away on my windows and I haven't reapplied because winter is coming. Now they streak terribly. I've tried using dawn to wash off the rain away, but it does not work. Does anybody have a "home-brew" product that will strip everything off the glass windows? Thanks!

Hey everyone! For my final detail before the winter, I have been wanting to get some Meg #20 but I can't get it because its a professional line product. I don't know of anyplace that carries them, and if I order them off the internet, I don't think i'll be able to get them in time :( I can...

Some people recommended Goof Off. I found some in my garage just now, but it isn't made SPECIALLY for cars. Its more of a all around type. It says its safe on paints with oil bases. Also Safe on glass. It also contains Xylene. I have some questions. 1) The dealer keeps putting those...

Hello! I tried doing a search but i've no luck with this product. I saw it on clearance at my local autoshop and I purchased a bottle to use on my beater. Does anyone use this? Is it just a waste of my time and money? What exactly is a Polymer Sealant? I know its not Carnuba...

Hello all! I've just purchased a Ryobi 10" Orbital and I don't know if its a polisher or a buffer. I want to use it on my dark green sc400 but i'm afraid it will burn my car. From what I understand, a buffer is what the pros use and should not be used like people like me. They run from...
