    Rumor of miracle household product as wheel cleaner

    From time to time I find an abstract product that I happen to really like... Like bleach white for example. I've used it on everything from white letter tires to headlights, and in extreme cases even on a white cars finish when I have rediculous staining. But most other times I just stick with...

    Hardcore LSP

    Hello, This past week I did a detail on my 95 Monte which "was" in terrible shape (177K miles). It came out pretty good considering I didn't spend much time on correction. I did this mostly to get some gloss back, and more importantly, protect it. I did a search and couldn't find what I...

    Meguiars (consumer) Cockpit Detailer

    Tried it out today. I must say, for an off the shelf product the results were outstanding. I rarely find an interior product that doesn't leave the interior feeling and looking oily and greasy. This stuff is great for removing dust and light traces of dirt and leaves absolutely no residue...

    Quick Question, I have been using Megs Wool Wash Mits for a couple of years now, but I notice that they leave few, but noticable swirl marks and micro marring. I'm pretty sure i am using the proper washing procedure. I read on the forum that the mits are too agressive for daily washing. I...
