    I just bought a 4 year old fifth wheel camper and wanna get it back shining. Apparently it's technically filon fiberglass and not really gelcoat. What is a good (preferably one step) product to use to get it looking food again? I plan on using a PC 7424 polisher for it. I've attached a...

    Best wash mitt for holding suds?

    I've been going through wash mitts trying to find a good one. I've tried the wool and microfiber mitts from nearly all the box stores and places like Pep Boys, etc. I've been hesitant about ordering one online as I hate to order one and find that it doesn't work. I've had a few wool mitts...

    I have a Chevy 2500HD that has the black plastic textured fender flares. I was wondering what a product like ICE would do to them? Just wondering if anyone had tried it before I do? I use ZAINO on the truck, but have the ICE in the cabinet. Thanks

    Need some quick advice for new paint.

    We painted a fire apparatus Saturday afternoon for a vollie department I train. It was by no means a pro job, but the old paint was bad, and we had limited funds. Today the imperfections are evident (looks like it was sprayed unevenly). It looks much better than it was, but still pretty...

    I need recommendations for a good carpet and upholstery cleaner. I don't have access to an extractor or steam cleaner. Just a brush and shopvac. I've used store bought stuff, but just wondering if there is anything better that I could order? If so, could you tell me where to get it? Thanks
