A few months back I bought some Iron X spray on, not the gel. Now that the weather is turning nice, I want to use it soon. I figured this stuff should be a good solution for me since I have noticed a lot of rail dust that has accumulated on the rear of the car, and there's not way I can get it...

Anymore my car pretty much just sits in the garage and gets taken out once a month or so. Even though they are not dirty at all or see abuse, it has been probably been about 4 months or so since I have cleaned and treated the seats with Zaino Z9 and Z10. I have been wanting to do them for a...

I can't believe I am asking questions about a hot water here on Autopiaa, but I don't know anyone else personally with a gas water. I recently bought a house with a Whirlpool gas hot water heater, and I have noticed that I have to have the water running for about a minute before the water starts...

I got everything situated and moved in at my new place, and now my car is being stored in the garage like I have been wating to do for the longest time. So I am new to the vehicle storage thing. I don't plan on keeping it stored without running for a real extended period, will probably drive it...

I am looking to buy a new daily driver, but I don't want to end up buying a lemon or a complete piece of junk. I found one that I had in mind, but I want to see if there any records for being in any kind of accident, being a rental, or anything else out of the ordinary. Do any of you have an...

I am working on doing some improvements on the new garage, and one of them I am considering is insulating the garage door. The current door is a little bit older model before insulated doors were the usual standard. I used a laser thermometer and the metal door from the inside of the garage was...

For you all that use The Absorber for drying, what have you all found to be the best way to clean them out. The label says that it can be thrown in the wash with laundry detergent, but what has me concerned is that some of the soap may remain in the pores of The Absorber and will be deposited on...

Spring hasn't arrived yet (wish it has), and I have already got people wanting me to detail their vehicles when the weather turns nice once again. If this warm trend keeps up, I may be able to squeeze a few in soon. That's fine with me, extra cash is always good.:) Anyways, a friend of mine...

I have looked around and couldn't come up with a whole lot, but I was trying to find a chart or list of the most common clays available and how agressive they are compared to one another. With choices such as Clay Magic, Zaino, Mothers, Meguiars, Sonus, etc., which ones rank from the least...

I have been using using Deep Finish Deep Chrome on my chrome exhaust tips and various other metal pieces practially forever it seems, and haven't paid much attention to any other chrome products out there since. While it worked well and I don't think that the Deep Chrome is even made anymore...

What are you all using nowadays to remove stubborn polishes and LSP from foam pads? I have tried a few different products designed for cleaning foam pads, but they just aren't getting them cleaned out. I have heard of using Dawn Powerclean or standard dish soap, but are either of these safe to...

Earlier today I got out a product that I haven't used in a long time and tried out on the exterior black plastic trim pieces on my car, Ultima Tire and Trim Gaurd Plus. I applied it very sparingly on a foam applicator pad, yet no matter how thin I applied this stuff it left streaks in the...

I am looking to get an indoor car cover, and have been looking at the covers sold by Covercraft. Where I live in the southeast it can get pretty humid just about year round. While the garage of course isn't going to be as humid as the outdoor environment, I don't want to take a chance with a...

I am new to fluroscent fixture lighting, and I am not really all that knowledgeable when it comes to electrical and what all the different numbers for fixtures and whatnot mean. I am looking to upgrade the the lighting in a 24 x 24 gagrage, and want to replace the fixtures and bulbs with...

Can the following 3 products be used together without either one compromising bonding at all, KAIO, Poorboys Black Hole, and FK1000P? Should I apply the Black Hole prior to FK1000P or after? From what I have read FK1000P isn't really much of an enhancing LSP, so I figured using the PB BH may...

I was wondering for those that don't have access to a garage, or a nice sized indoor warehouse with hot and cold water access, what do you do to keep warm and still ensure a good wash without doing a half arsed job? I know that ONR is probably the best thing to use in colder weather, but at this...

When applying LSP products via PC7424, what size pads are the best route to go with between a 6.5" and 5.5"? I have noticed with certain pads, such as the LC CCS pads, the 6.5" pads seem to be a little thicker than the 5.5"s. When using softer pads for LSP application such as a red or blue, will...

Well it looks like the weekend is going to hold out and be actually quite warm here, so that means time to get a final application of a durable LSP in. I got a few new LSPs a while back, so some of the ones I have I don't know the true durability of them. While I don't mind testing and trying...

Can you all give me some product suggestions for prewax cleaners that are gentle enough to be applied by hand and will not marr or microscratch softer finishes? The vehicle I am working on neeeds no correction, but I want to use something in liquid form that will clean any kind of grime or...

I have been noticing that on my car that the hood still looks kind of dirty on it when looks at it in the sunlight in the right angles and up close. With the way my car is parked the sun shines down from the backside of the car, and me looking head on at it. Being GM bright red, it shows any...
