    Will isopropyl alcohol damage paint?

    Not really a detailing question, but I thought the experts here would be able to answer this question. I recently had a new set of Euro H4 headlights installed in my '87 911 and decided to purchase headlight protection film to protect the lights from rock damage. The installation...

    The previous owner of my car got quite a bit of wax in crevices between body panels and it's now dried and pretty ugly.

    Leatherique and hair dryer - for how long?

    It's been pretty hot here in NorCal for the past couple of days and I thought it would be a good time to break out the Leatherique and treat/clean the leather seats in my car. According to the manufacturer's directions, you can either park the car in the hot sun for a few hours to let the...

    Windshield washer fluid? Will it harm paint?

    I just spent a lot of time washing my car and decided to take it out for a quick spin to try off the brake rotors, etc. I'm not out for two seconds when someone in front of me decides to clean their windshield with several sprays of windshield washer fluid, which oversprayed onto my windshield...

    Autoglym degreaser - where to buy??

    I want to do a little engine detailing on my car and thought I'd give Autoglym a try. But I'm having trouble finding a place to buy it. I've checked all of the usual online retailers, but either the retailer doesn't carry it or it's currently out of stock (checked autopia first, been out of...
