    Toyota Leather & Leatherique

    My 2010 camry with the charcoal perforated leather is starting to turn petrified from the sun. Usually every 6 months - a year I use leather products like Zaino Z9/Z10 and Zymol leather cleaner/conditioner but my leather is rock hard in the areas directly hit by sunlight. I noticed that even...

    Pad suggestion for a Rotary

    I just got a Makita 9227c and was wondering what pad type and sizes you recommend. I have a bunch of LC 5.5 low profile orange and white for my PC but I'm not liking these new LC pads over my old ones because they like to hop and grab so easily. Also what size pads would you recommend? 6.5"...

    Zaino Z2 vs Z3

    Removing decals

    I'm helping clean up a Scion xB which at the moment covered in old weather beaten decals. Most of the larger decals are coming off fairly easy with a hair dryer and using my finger nail to peel it. There are a few which are so bad that it doesn't even peel, it just turns into dust as you scrape...
