I finally had a chance to use the platinum samples I got a few weeks ago from tacscar to clean the car that had been sitting in an uncovered parking lot by the airport for almost 2 weeks. Quite impressive. I didn't do the dawn wash prep becasue I plan on stripping the platinum in a few weeks...

So I've finally gotten fed up with my terry cloth towels and am going to go the MF route. Couple of questions: What quality should I go for: 80/20, 70/30, etc? I figure 80/20 is better, but based on cost vs. quality what's good? Terry cloth or suede? Any specific brands? Size? How...

How can I get my front bumper cleaner? I've washed and scrubbed with Meguier's Gold Class shampoo but there are still brownish/black spots on my white paint that I can't get off. Do I need a tougher shampoo or something else...it's not bumpy paint or anything so I'm not sure if clay will work...

just wondering, can I use lexol leather cleaner and/or vinylx to clean and protect the hoses/belts in my engine bay. I didn't know if they would corode or break down the plastics there

Just wondering how many MFs are necessary to do a basic cleaning a car..a lot from what I am counting since you can't resuse towels for different items 1 - to help blot dry spots 1 - for windows 2 - for AIO (buff on, buff off) 2 - for SG (1 to buff on, one to buff off) 2 - to clean...

I just received Klasse SG, AIO, and platinum samples from tascar (great site) and am really anxious to try both. Can you use the klasse along with the platinum? I figure the shampo is not a problem, but the UPP and gloss spray could be. Btw, does anyone know how long the platinum UPP lasts...

I finally had a chance to use the bottle of lexol vinylex that I'd bought last week on my dash and other interior area. Man, what a difference. I'd never cleaned the interior bash and parts with anything other then a dusting cloth becasue I was afraid of products that would dry it out and lead...

Has anyone ever filed a claim with esurance? I just wna tto know how their service is. I know a friend who ha it and some people on the forum have it, but nobody has filed a claim yet. I really want to know if their serice is decent or if they give you a hassle for getting things fixed. Anyone...

Every time I've washed my car, I get it nice, shiney, and clean but there are two stips of plastic side molding that I can't get clean. I've tried things like goo-gone, simple green, polish, elbow grease, etc and nothing will work to make them as shine as the rest of the car. I always looks...

Can I use a toothbrush to work lexol into the seams of my leather seats? I just don't know if the bristles are too hard and would do anything bad to the leather.

While searching the archives, I found several references to some instructions jimwh wrote about how to properly use Klasse. Does anyone have a copy of these they can repost becasue they seem to have disappeard. It looks like it's supposed to be thread #1143, but all the links return a 404 Not...

Ordered some Klasse AIO and SG to do a full datail for my white maxima daily driver this weekend. Hopefully, I get it before Friday. Anyway, I wan to make sure this procedure will work so I have time to adjust and buy more stuff if needed. 1) Dawn wash 2) Clay 3) Rewash with quality car...

I like the idea of a 2 step process that will do most of the protection on my car, but just want to know if some cheaper products will achieve my modest goals for a clean car. Btw, my ride is a 10 yr old white daily driver. Thanks for the input:xyxthumbs

It was raining last weekend, so I never got to clay and wash the car like I planned, but this weekend looks sunny so... Reading the archives, some people have mentioned that they use a cleansing lotion after claying their car to remove minor oxidation and other contaminates. Is this a...

I bought a clay magic kit today and it said after using hte product to store it by spraying a couple of shots of the lube into a plastic bag and wrapping the unused clay bar in there. Will this really work or is there a better process for storing clay for an extended period of time? I figure...

So after reading some of the archives, I've discovered that the "3M Hand glaze" I'd bought last year is actually a polish - who knew??! So now I need to find a cleaner, sealant, and a real glaze. I've hear Pinnacle PaintWorkds Cleaner lotion, P21S Paitingwork Cleanser or 3m Perfect-It are all...

So I hadn't even heard of claying until I joined this forum, but I'm going to try it this weekend if it doesn't rain. Few, stuid newbie, questions though: 1) Do you have to go in any particular direction? I figure no circles, but I wasn't sure if going lenghtwise across the car was best or...

I have Lexol cleaner and Lexol leather conditioner for my car seats, but can I use these same items on the dash in my car? It's a 93 Maxima with a black interior that's been in Phoenix for most of its life and it hasn't cracked yet. I just want to make sure I'm not going to strip oils or do...
