What is the best products to clean and seal (protect) black textured plastic parts on a motor vehicle?   Please let me know what works for you.   Thank you.

Hey Folks,   I drive a white 2007 F150 with an Undercover tonneau cover. For the past couple of years, any time it rains I get black horizontal streaks running down the sides of the bed.  I am also getting similar streaks beneath the black plastic side mirrors. I can wash the entire...

I've got an '07 F150 with Oxford White paint. My truck is a Michigan daily driver. Every spring I spend hours trying to remove all the little rust spots left behind by brake dust and road salt stuck the truck's finish. I've always bucket washed my truck. I can remove the majority of the...

Does anyone use Blackfire Wet Diamond or Klasse All-In-One? How does it work for you? Are you happy with it's results, and longevity? Thanks, Tim

I recently applied Collinite 476S to my 2007 F150. Since then it has rained a couple of times, and I've noticed that the rain water beads up, but it doesn't roll off (or blow off at 55mph). It just sits there until it evaporates. When I used the Turtle Wax last year, the rain water would roll...

I just spent about 6 hours washing; using Meguiars clay & #34 Final Inspection to remove spots of tar and brake dust; and applying a nice coat of Collinite 476 to my white 2007 F150. I've got to admit, I really love the way the truck looks and feels with the Collinite wax on it. This is a...

What do you use to protect your vehicle's weather seals, and rubber seals? I'm looking for something to apply on my 2007 F150. Thank you, Tim

I'm looking for the best product to remove the "Industrial Fallout" from my white 2007 F150. Nasty little rust specks! I'd like something that I can use in the spring and then in the fall, before applying wax. I was planing to use Collinite 476S for wax. What kind of clay would work the...

Defined to me as snowplow fragments, brake dust, etc., mixed with road salt and water. When splashed on a vehicle is sticks and becomes a little speck of rust. I drive a white 2007 Ford F150, and I live in western Michigan. I have been struggling with "industrial fallout" all winter. I only...

I have a quick one... I was thinking about using Nu-Finish polish on my 2007 F150. Is there any reason why I shouldn't? Does anyone out there use it on their daily driver? Please let me know what you think. Thank you...

I recently purchased a 2007 F150, with white clear-coat paint. I'm looking for suggestions on a product to protect the paint. I'm not looking for a show car shine, I just want to protect the paint. I also want something that will last for at least 6 months. I would like to wax/polish the...
