Any thoughts on K&N air filters? I have read alot about them and some people swear by them and others say that although air flow is great, they don't filter as well as typical paper filters. Could they be bad for a daily driver type of car?!@%@#? Just wondering if anybody here uses K&N and...

My car has a factory chrome tailpipe on it and I was wanting to find a good way to keep it clean and protected. I have read some old posts and got some ideas but had a few more questions/thoughts. In order to keep the chrome in great shape would it be good use SSR1 to polish it up and then use...

What is the best way to cut down on the amount of interior window fogging from fairly new vinyl (car is about 1 year old)? Even with MF I still seem to get it streak free but in certain light I can see streaks and fogginess. I am not sure if it is simply something that is virtually unavoidable...

My floormats are getting a "spot" where they are looking slightly worn where my heel rests (and swivels to go from brake to gas etc...). Other that that, they are perfectly clean and nice looking. I have had floormats before that have had a plastic type of heel pad that stopped that area from...

I really like the way SSR1 works and looks. I also have a tube of Scratch-X that is almost full,and was wanting to know how it compares to the abrasiveness of SSR1...or is it more like SSR2? I know a direct comparison may not be great but I was just curious. I want to use the Scratch-X but...

My friend has a PT Cruiser (first model year, not sure if it was '00 or '01 or whatever) and the black trim around the doors has a dry white chalky color to it. I have seen it on other cars but especially noticed it on numerous PT Cruisers and it looks horrible. I am not sure, but I think...

Is Meguiar's Quick Detailer compatible with Zaino? (I use the Z-6 as a QD, but I also have alot of the Megs QD and really like it and wanted to use it on my Zaino'd car.) Thanks!

For an average daily driver, for a friend who likes to wax on occasion (would probably do it every 3-6 weeks) which product is a better choice between Meguiars NXT wax and Gold Class wax? He realizes tons of stuff is out there but please advise based on these choices (any pros and cons of these...

I was applying Zaino today and was not sure if I was getting the correct amount of product on my car. I know it is supposed to be applied very thin. As I was applying the Z1 and the Z2 I was having trouble seeing it on the paint and was not sure if that was a good thing (meaning it was thin...

Is there a need to wash new microfiber towels before using them? (all of them are of high quality and their care instructions don't mention washing before using, but I remember some people saying it was important). if so, is hand washing (with blue Dawn) and a good rinsing followed by air...

I know people say that a Dawn wash will remove old wax and sealants, but will SSR1 remove old waxes also since it is mildly abrasive? What about a good old clay bar? I was just wondering if a regular wash (with gold class or other car washes) followed by claying and SSR1 would remove old...

Based on my last thread I have heard good things about Poorboys tire dressing, and have heard good things about Zaino tire dressing. I am looking for help in choosing between these 2 based on: -dust/dirt repelling -appearance (I want a deep black w/mild shine/gloss, but not a...

As far as using a Cali water blade, I can see how one could get scratches if they dragged rough debris over their paint with the blade (obviously), but if you wash your car thoroughly and rinse well isn't it safe? Especially if you take a chamois or MF towel and wipe the blade after each swipe...

I have heard from a few sources (most recently guru reports) that petroleum distillates are not good for tires in the long run. It sounds like products with those distillates slowly can take a toll on tires. I see that many tire dressings contain these distillates and I usually use Megs high...

I am trying to gain more info on Poorboys SSR1 and Pro Polish. (I have not used either product yet). I have heard some people say that SSR1 can basically serve as your polish. Since the SSR1 would remove swirls, oxidation, etc.., would that be smart to use it after claying and then go...

Just wondering a few things about Zaino: 1.) Although it is called a polish, I understand that it is more of a sealant/protectant than a true polish; correct? 2.) Therefore, I was wondering if a true polish was needed before actually using Zaino. I am going to wash and clay my car (2003...
