    Cleaning mesh type fabric on seat?

    I'm trying to get a good idea on how to clean the seats in my Civic Si They look like this (although mine are in a bit better shape) I've got cleaning the ultrasuede/alcantara down no problem. The issue is the middle/back part of where you sit. The material is a padded mesh that is...

    Infratech CM5300

    Does anyone have any personal reviews on the Infratech CM5300? I'm on the fence about purchasing one. Yes it looks like a very nice piece of hardware and cheaper than a Sun Gun, but then again it's close to $200 for something I might only use once a year literally. Although I admit...

    Simple cap size question

    Does anyone know the 'average' cap size question for car soaps? Is it 1oz? I just received a large jug of CW&G and was wondering if it's a 1oz cap full?

    Cleaning interior carpeting, am I nuts?

    I recently tried cleaning the interior carpets in my car (not the mats) with some Folex and my LGM which isn't ideal but I'll use what I have before I purchase a true extractor. I found no matter how much I sprayed Folex onto my carpets, it just wasn't making it wet enough to extract. I...

    Foam Cannon Method

    So, I've been playing with my new foam gun over the past month or so and am wondering what everyone who has a proper foam gun/lance method for washing is: A) Cover entire car with foam and wash in one pass B) Cover each panel with foam and wash, rinse, move on C) Other? Right now I'm...

    Menzerna FP + DG 105? Or...

    Just trying to get a game plan ready. I'll be attacking my car with IP and an orange/white pad trying to get any leftover swirls my SFX2 couldn't take care of last year. Should I be doing a Menzerna FP treatment and then applying Duragloss 105 or just skip the FP and apply DG? Reason I ask is...

    Foam lance dillution dilemma!

    So I just got my foam lance with Karcher attachment in the mail a couple of days ago, but the weather has been really crappy in Toronto since monday but that hasn't stopped me with playing with the foam lance. I'm having issues though with the dilution ratio. So far I've put a maximum of...

    Spotting on glass with CR Spotless

    Has anyone had any issues with the CR Spotless still spotting on glass? I just washed my car for the first time this year and noticed when it was drying there was still spots on the glass. I had to dry them off with a towel. Do you think I'm waiting too long to rinse my car with the CR after...

    Suede/Nubuck Brush process?

    Hi everyone, The seats on my Civic SiR have the outer areas (seatback, etc) made out of alcantara, which is similar to suede/nubuck. I purchased a suede brush to get the nap looking better and to help with cleaning, although I can't figure out what side of the brush to use! It includes...

    Coin Op Consensus?

    What's everyones opinion on coin-op washes in the winter? My car is currently caked with crud and it hasn't even really been winter here in Canada yet. I'm not even going to think about using the supplied soap brush, I'm more interested in thoughts on the pressure sprayer with soap as that's...

    Aquapel vs Traditional wax

    In your opinion, what is more durable and longer lasting? I'm satisfied with traditionally waxing my windshield with Collinite 845, it works great for a while but the wipers essentially wear the wax away and you have to re-apply somewhat often if you use your wipers a lot. I'm looking for...

    Polishing down touch up paint?

    So I had a few stone chips on the hood of my silver Honda Civic after I washed it. I decided to use the provided Honda touch up paint (brush, not a pen) and blob on a few spots over the stone chips after I cleaned them of any rust. I figured today I would go out with my UDM once it had dried...

    Applying 303 Properly?

    Just bought another bottle of 303 Aerospace for my Civic. The first time I applied it to my dash I stupidly enough just sprayed it onto the dash causing splatter marks. I cleaned that up and cut a spare piece of grout sponge and applied it like this instead. I noticed today once it was...

    Storing Sonus green clay?

    How can it be done? I used the clay bar on my Civic maybe 3 days before I clay barred my girlfriends Accent. I'd usually spray some detail spray into a ziplock bag and store the clay in there. When I removed it a few days after, it seemed to be somewhat disintegrating and I had to clean it off...

    Darn scratches remain!

    So I finally picked up a UDM a month or so ago, I also purchased the entire line of DAS pads for it (white, orange, green, blue) and some Sonus SFX 2 and 3. I've been hitting my Civic with the orange pad all over and it's looking excellent, even though the paint was in great shape before...

    Just got a UDM, need some help on products now

    So my UDM with the DAS pad bundle has arrived. I'm out to completely work over my Civic SiR soon but am lost now as to what products I'll need (polish, glaze?) Wax, I think I'm going to stick with either some OTC Meguiars or my Collinite that I applied before the winter, I really liked that...

    Rust Proofing

    Who gets their car rust sprayed up here in Canada? I'm going to be taking my 2003 Civic in on Saturday to Krown and wanted to know if anyone else does the same thing? I hope the spray creeps well enough since the temperatures in Toronto have dipped really quickly in the past couple of weeks!
