I bought a used car and the shop that detailed it got white splotches of wax residue on the black convertible cloth top. The weather is not car wash friendly lately but I'm not sure if letting it sit will make it worse or even permanent. So I might have to bite the bullet and get out there if...

I have Nitto Invo tires on my car. I wash them using Bleach White and a stiff toilet brush and use no dressing. In about a week the sidewalls have this dark blue bruised color to them. What can I do to keep the tires looking clean and black without having to resort to messy dressings?

Just bought a 2008 Corvette convertible and wanted to get some tips on caring for the cloth top. Is there any special treatment to keep it's color and texture new looking? Thanks for any help.

My wife is scuffing the bejesus out of the door sill and leather trim when she gets into our Vette. It really looks like heck and I need to clean it up. Any ideas of the best way to go about this?

There's a product on the market for leather gloves, shoes, etc called Sno-seal. It's actually beeswax and you apply it to the leather and heat it with a hairdryer. When it gets warm enough it liquifies and soaks right into the leather. After it cools it turns back into a wax leaving the leather...

Saw somebody bragging on a car forum how great this stuff is. Has anyone used it?

My friend is coming over this weekend to detail his car. I'll be doing the outside, he's doing the inside, he's helping me rebuild my shed floor and he's buying the beer :hifive: The reason for this is he loves the way I keep my car, an 06 GTO. I use Klasse on it about every other month, wash...

I have a Mother's Powerball I use for cleaning out the tailpipe ends & it looks like hell. The metal shaft doesn't seem to detach so I can't see machine washing it. Is there a good way to clean these? Seems a shame to throw it out now, it still works well.

My new car has a problem with what another forum is calling moisture under the clearcoat. The color is a metalic blue and you can see a milky, white shadow in areas of the car. You need to look hard & it doesn't show too easy, like a faint stain. The car comes from Australia & from what I've...

We are in the market for a new car. Our choices are the Infiniti G35, Lexus IS, BMW 330I, VW Passat 4Motion & Audi A4. Of course we are not basing our decision on the paint, but I would score the car based on paint quality/durability. As some of you here are pro detailers and have most likely...

My motorcycle is being pinstriped Friday. Wednesday I'll bring it outside and wash it with soap and then Klasse AIO. I want to put a coat of Klasse Glaze after he is done. How long should I wait to coat the new paint? Ed

Does anyone have any surefire products for painting bare aluminum surfaces? Something that primes the surface so the paint sticks without peeling away? Maybe something available to the general public that doesn't cost an arm and leg? I just have some small parts to paint. Would gun blue work...

I noticed my wife's car (2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP in Dark Cherry) got clipped on the front bumper. She figures one of the blind drivers where she works did it. You can feel the scratches as they are deep and on a plastic front bumper. Is there any way of fixing this at home or is it time to...

Is it safe to use the All In One as a wash or will it remove the Klasse Glaze I have applied? The AIO recommends 1 cap per gallon.

I was going to use the Klasse AIO on my wife's car but she has LG on it already. Should I strip off the LG 1st or will the Klasse strip it off? Thanks for any help.

Would RO water give you the same no-towel, spotfree finish as deionized water? I'm thinking of getting an RO system if it does.

I am looking for a set of chrome rims for my 2005 Pontiac Bonneville GXP. Can anyone suggest a good online site that I might use for this? Thanks for any help.

I have a white-gold tricoat Pontiac Bonneville. My most recent polishing venture was to apply LG after carefully removing all the old wax. The car looks great but just doesn't stand out. I understand white is hard to get that wet look but I was wondering if Meguiar's #7 or similiar would give me...

Does this sound right? :nixweiss The local auto store recommends this for prewashing before claying. He says that mixing about 2 cups of white vinegar with enough Dawn dish soap to suds up a bucket of water works fine. The car is 1 month old but was waxed with tree pollen stuck to the hood.
