    Black Magic Semi-Gloss Protectant in wipes now

    Instead of $2.67 for a 10oz. spray bottle which have disappeared from Pepboys/Walmart ...... they are coming back in a $3.99 package with 20 wipes I think. A bold and risky marketing move. Not many people have tried it. I liked it so does YoSteve but I will switch to 303 when mine ran out...

    Where can I still get Rain-X wheel protectant in SFBA??

    I managed to grab the last one from a Kmart here about 2 months ago. Used it twice so far on my BMW M68 double spokes treated with Z2. Results: A lot less brake dust sticks to the wheels with the Rain-X applied than without it. The wheels just looked cleaner for an extended period without...

    use your seatbelt "properly"

    I have noticed BMW/MB glass bead water much better than Honda/Toyota glass. I am just wondering how the glass are treated differently in the factory to contribute to this result. I drove a 1990 300E before and it still beads water like it used to after 11 years.
