I bought a new Jeep today and was offered a treatment for my Jeep that "Permenantly seals in my clearcoat." They guarantee it for 5 years and claim it doesn't just sit on top of the paint. What on earth could this be? I can't imagine anything lasting that long unless it was another layer of...

I was wearing a pair of blue jeans today and I was driving around in my Grand Cherokee. It has a tan interior and when I looked at the outside edge of the seat it had blue marks all over it (there is a vinyl strip on the very edge too). I tried using Meguiars #39 heavy duty vinyl cleaner, no...

I left my PC7424 on the driveway next to my Legend while I went inside to grab some food and someone stole it!!!!!! I live on a fairly busy street, but not in an area where I would expect this to happen. Now I need a new PC. I bought my old one for $120 at Kimco tools, is there anywhere...

Has anyone used this paintless dent remover? Looks like it would only work on large dents and could possibly dent other parts of the car while pulling a dent.

I just bought a 99 Grand Cherokee off of a friend and it only has 20k miles. The seats look like new still, but I want to keep them from wrinkling like my old GC's seats did. I was wondering if anyone knows if Chrysler clearcoats their leather. I put some water on it and it doesn't soak right...

I received this product from a fellow detailer so I could remove some house paint overspray from a black Silverado. Here are my reactions. I am comparing it to Mothers clay bar. PROS: Color makes it easier to see debris (it's white), seems more aggressive than Mothers and is larger. For...

I just received my PC 7424 today. At low speeds, it makes a bit of a grinding noise, but at high speeds it goes away. Is this normal, or should this machine be completely quiet at low speed? Thanks

I got some meguiars overspray clay for free from a friend and was wondering if it is safe to use as normal clay (like the Mother's clay bar)? I have quite a bit and I ran out of normal Mother's clay, so I'm hoping i can use the overspray clay as a normal contaminant removal clay. Thanks.

I'm detailing a 98 Maxum with some pretty bad oxidation. It is white with some maroon on it. I was wondering if it is ok to use automotive compounds (FI2 or Meguiars #2) on a boat's finish?

Gold Class really requires alot of scrubbing, and it still leaves dirt behind. I was wondering if anyone knows of a car wash that is strong enough to cut through dirt/grime on contact and with little scrubbing w/o destroying the wax job? The Meguiars really isn't cutting it with the dirty cars...

I just bought a few bottles of this stuff at the local auto parts store and I am VERY impressed. I am assuming it is a light compound because it claims to remove 1500 grit sanding scratches, and boy does it ever. It's virtually foolproof as well, even when I don't buff it enough, it leaves no...

I've been wanting one of these for quite a while now. I couldn't help but notice how rediculously high the prices are for the "professional" models (from topoftheline or pretty much any other professional line). They are all around $800-$1000. I was thinking of spending $200 max. Is the...

I bought a used Nissan Maxima to replace my 97 that I turned in after the lease. It has cloth seats. What is the best fabric guard for protecting these seats? I have a brand new can of Scotch Guard, but I heard something about it causing cancer??

It seems like new car dealers do a nice job of detailing their used vehicles (some of them). I recently went to a Nissan dealer and looked at some used maximas, they all smelled at least a little like new Nissan. Even the ones with cloth interiors were smelling great. I would imagine that it...

I've been looking for a product like this for a long time. Anyone tried it? Looks pretty promising. I have several window moldings on my Acura that need to be dyed to black. Also, i want to get the 8oz. dye w/o the cleaner, so which cleaner should I use prior to dyeing? I have Meguiars #39...

I bought this Meguiar's stuff called "Heavy Duty Carpet & Interior Cleaner" that comes in this neon pink bottle. I was skeptical, but once I tried it on a giant coffee stain in my Acura, I was amazed. You just spray it on and wipe it off. It took a 5 year-old coffee stain out of the floor...

I love the fact that my Grand cherokee has never had any chemicals used on the interior plastic/vinyl. THerefore, there is no obnoxious, greasy shine to it. I would like to add some protection but I want virtually NO shine. I really like the matte finish look. Is 303 my best option? Is it...
