Hi all, After a long Autopia hiatus :nixweiss , I've recently been reading the site again -- man a lot can happen product-wise in a couple of years! Anyway, I've decided to give the Optimum product line a go, and have ordered a UDM, Poli-Seal, Opti-Seal, and Natty's Red. I've seen posts...

Well, here I go again, another dumb question. In this thread http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21340 a manufacturer called "Sonax" is being discussed. I looked first at Sonus, but the products didn't match the ones under discussion. Then I found that the products...

My new Mazda3's windshield has water run-off stains which didn't succumb to either IG or Bon Ami (spray foam glass cleaner). I've been reading many of the multitude of threads discussing how to deal with this problem, and will be "upping the ante" in my cleaning approach tomorrow. None of...
