Hey everyone, long time. Well, my wife and I are expecting (due Jan 9th) and so we had to trade in the Eclipse GT and get a wagon. (I refuse to give in to the SUV bru-ha-ha) We chose the Volvo V70 2.5T, in Silver with Graphite (Dark Grey) interior. It is SWEET. I've never had a luxury car...

I used AIO today for the first time, and I am very impressed. I have a silver Mitsubishi Eclipse GT (the 3G, 2001) and I got some AIO on the reccomendation of a lot of you here. I used the Meg's Even coat MF applicator, and I had to use 2, since the AIO was cleaning so much junk off of my...

I use Meguiar's Natural shine on an Eagle One tire swipe for my tires, and I have to say I like it very much. If you like the shiny look, this is not for you, but if you like the look of clean, black rubber then it is worth a try. I have had NO sling AT ALL. As a final step, I spray the tire...

I have a 2001 Eclipse GT. I had a battery problem some time ago, a LOT of corrosion. I'm actually going to need to change my battery cables but that is a different story. The problem for you all is that I have some rust (I think it's just surface rust) in the areas around the battery tray...

I'm going to be using AIO on my Eclipse this weekend (FINALLY!) and I am not sure what would be best for applying AIO by hand. I do not have a PC. I have both foam and MF applicators. What do you think/use and how has it worked for you? I was going to use the Meg. Even coat MF applicators...

Hey everyone. I have a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. These cars have a notorious problem with the clear coat on the headlights peeling. Unfortunately, mine are starting to get foggy around the edges, and I think that they will start peeling soon. Have any of you seen this problem, and how do...

Has anyone used this product? Here is one distributor: http://www.topoftheline.com/aglere.html I have protected/coated leather in my Eclipse that is getting stiff, and I am afraid the coating is getting thin on the driver's seat. It looks like this might help, but I am not sure. I know some...

Hey everyone. What are your opionions on Zymol Leather cleaner and Zymol leather conditioner? I have some of the conditioner, and it seems to work pretty well. It smells like hand creme. Anyone else used it?

Hey everyone. I did a little work on my leather seats this weekend and I have a question about using woolite. I was using it 5:1 or 6:1 and noticed I get white suds when I spray and then rub with a terry towel. If I use a brush I get a LOT. I wiped with a wet towl and STILL got suds. Do...

Hey everyone, Well, I'm going to be a father! :) Baby's due in Jan. That means I need to look at trading my car in for a more practical model. I have a silver 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. I'm going to hang on to it until we get closer to the due date, but I'm starting the search early. I'd...

Hey everyone, What polishes can be used after wetsanding a touchup repair? I'm looking for locally available stuff. Is there anything that is suitable that I can pick up at the local Advance or Walmart? Thanks.

Ok everyone, I have seen lots of advice on products, how to clean carpets, paint, etc... But my biggest problem is "The Process". It seems that I always get started with one thing and keep getting sidetracked before I finish, or I'll start with carpets and realize it makes it really hard to...

This weekend I detailed my wife's Honda using some new products that I recently purchased. I used 303 Aerospace Protectant on the interior vinyl and plastic. Where I got some on the dial cluster plastic it seemed to turn the plastic foggy. I tried to remove it but it was still foggy. I...

This weekend I detailed my wife's car (1995 Honda Civic LX) using some new products that I just purchased. One thing I used was the PB Trim Restorer. I used it on the smooth and textured trim pieces on the exterior of the car. I applied it using a cut up eagle 1 tire swipe (I figured it was...

I just picked up one of these at Target...$6.99! It's definately natural, the inside is leather. The sheepskin/wool is > 1" thick and very soft. There are variations between different mitts, so I just picked the most plush one. It has a black elastic cuff and fits pretty snug. I think this...

Ok everyone - I am trying to get together a decent detailing kit for the summertime. I am on a budget (who isn't) and am looking for brushes that I can get locally that will be good for detailing. If anyone has a fav. brush, please post it here with what you use it for and where you got it...

I found a really good deal at the local Costco - 5 wash mitts for $10. The mitts are a combination of Microfiber and Cotton. What are the pros and cons of these materials? Will they scratch my paint/cause swirls due to the synthetics? The way I look at it, we use MF to buff our cars so I...

My 2001 Eclipse is Silver - This seems to be a difficult color to make really reflective, since it really doesn't have a lot of depth. It does hide the swirls tho ;) Can anyone offer any pointers on how to get the DEEPEST shine possible with a silver finish? Here's what I do right now (the...

Hey everyone - Yesterday I got my 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT back from the body shop. I got a new front bumper and they repainted my driver's side front fender. How do I take care of this new paint? The body shop told me NO WAX for 60-90 days because the solvents haven't evaporated...
