I've come across posts by members here who I assume regularly protect their cars with a good LSP, but still have suffered paint fading and/or clearcoat failure. So I'm wondering, especially looking for input from those who have meticulously cared for cars for many many years...... Do you...

Anyone ever try Pittman's ALR product to restore clouded headlights? I happened upon it while browsing the web today and the results look pretty impressive for very little work. If you've tried it please comment about it. If it really takes off all the oxidation that easily, sounds like it...

I was at Target yesterday and noticed they carry Stoners "Invisible Glass with Rain Repellent". The strange thing is I can find nothing about it on their website, or anywhere on the web. Just letting you guys know in case you want to try something new.

I read lots of posts on here about repairing hazed headlights. However, most of the time I also read the haze coming back rather quickly since the original UV protective coating is now gone. I've tried on headlights a few products but judging only by beading, they don't last very long, maybe...

I was wondering how you guys get up close to clean or polish windshields on vans or SUVs? I notice I cannot reach the whole window on my Toyota Sienna even if I stand inside the car and reach over from each side. I know if you use a tool you can reach the whole window, but what if you have a...

I've read that Wolfgang Fuzion is pretty durable, now after being out for a while I'm wondering if any can comment on it's durability with some experience. How does it hold up compared to other durable products like -476s -845 -ultima PGP -Optiseal

Anyone know if ocw V2 can be polycharged and with which one? Also, I saw a question asking whether opti-seal could be polycharged but there was no conclusive answer. If anyone knows, please chime in. By the way, what happened to the polycharger website? It seems to be gone. And the...

I'm just wondering if there is any windshield washer fluid out there that doesn't leave any residue on a clean car. Something that after using it, all you're left with is a clean windshield and clean car with no spots or streaks on the window or paint. Distilled water could work except it...

I just got a rock launched at my windshield from a truck and it left a mark right in the center of my field of view. It's about a millimeter wide and maybe 2 millimeters long. I can feel it with my nail so it isn't just a simple mark, it seems like it took off some of the glass surface but...

I notice there are 3 similar sounding products from Diamondite and I'm wondering if anyone knows the differences between them. Any real world experience with these products would be nice to know. Diamondite Glasswork Shield Diamondite Shield Diamondite Glass Poli-shield

Just wondering if you guys know any good polish that works well by hand. I can't access an outlet so can't use any machines to do polish work. I've got mothers pre-wax cleaner and mothers scratch remover. I think those would be the only two things I have that can polish. But I don't see...

I saw this new product called Dupont Ion. It comes in either a liquid or spray form. Has anyone tried it yet, if you have what do you think of it? You can actually get it for free after a rebate they offer on the dupont car care website. It's a rather strange product as the directions say...

Does anyone know a good way to clean wheels without a hose? I don't have access to a hose where I live now so I can't spray wheel cleaner and then rinse it off. I tried QEW on it but it's not strong enough to get a lot of the brake dust off no matter how much I rubbed. I hope it's not...

Hi, I'm the one who had my 04 SVT Cobra repeatedly door dinged by my assigned parking neighbor. The final road here is taking them to small claims court. The current repair estimate is almost $1200, and involves repaint of both the front door, rear quarter panel, and side scoop. So that's...

I'm pretty much out of patience right now and getting really angry at my situation. I drive a 2004 SVT Cobra that was in pristine condition before I moved into this new complex. At the end of october, I noticed a large ding above my rear wheel well when I went to my car after parking it in...

Just wondering, for those of you who have experience using Mothers Powerball, what is the minimum specification of a drill that still produces good results. I've seen cordless drills range from 130rpm - 1700rpm, and also different torque levels as well. It'd be nice to know what I need to get...

I seem to be having trouble with the photo gallery. Whenever I try to share my pictures under the members galleries, they come up blank. It also says somewhere that my account is not enabled for personal folders and it also asks me for a password for a lot of gallery setup pages, what does...

Just wondering how slick QEW is supposed to be? I put 4 capfuls into 1 gallon of water and it didn't feel very slick. I was kinda afraid to wash the car, but proceeded anyway. The sun already went down now so I can't tell if I caused any marring until tomorrow. But just wondering if it's ok...

Just wondering if it's safe to be using plastic polish on headlights, I heard they have a UV protective coating on them from the factory. Most plastic polishes seem to have abrasives to help with removing oxidation, but I wonder if it will also wear out the UV coating. What is everyones take...

Just wondering if any 99-04 mustang owners out there have taken apart the headlights before? I notice some smudges on the inside of the lens, fingerprints maybe. However I thought headlight assemblies were sealed. So I wonder if anyone knows whether the Mustang headlights can be taken apart...
