I'm sure lots of you do not shop at Costco for car care items. The last time I was there, I saw these new mits. They looked somewhat interesting, so I bought a set of 4 for about $10. One side is white for "body". The other side grey for "wheels". Along the edge, there's mesh for scraping...

Last week I took delivery of a new Ford Fusion SE I4. It's about the same color as my previous car. Here's some pics after a quick Zymol wash & DG 101: I was very impressed with the DG 101. Even though the paint looked smooth and shiny off the lot, it was quite dirty. The...

My new ride has a few clear coat scratches on the hood. Rather than having the dealer mess it up more, I wanted to correct them myself. They are not too bad. I tried ScratchX, and this didn't completely correct them. I applied several times, at various amounts of pressure (by hand). Is 3M...

On Sunday, I tried DG AW the first time on both rides. Process seemed quite easy, and didn't really add much time to normal drying. Since then, it's rained all week. Today, while looking at my car, I'm amazed at the flake pop. Is this possible just from spray wax? On my car, the AW was...

I recently applied WheelWax to both my vehicles clear-coated silver rims. I haven't applied a second coat to the fronts -- as suggested on the tub. Thus far, I'm not all that impressed with the product. I still get lots of brake dust, and you have to scrub to get it off (it doesn't simply...

Here's my second brag of my other daily driver. I'll attempt to outline the process/products used: Clean/Wash Purple Power on Wheel Wells Eagle One All Wheel & Tire DG 901 Car Wash on paint (2 bucket) Dry Hose waterfall Ca Jelly Blade & Absorber Prep Tarminator...

Nothing too exciting here. No Viper, Lambo, etc. This is my first Click & Brag. I'm a newer member here, and am not a professional by any means. Here's my daily commuter car: 05 Neon SXT. I purchased it new about 16 months ago, so the paint is in pretty decent shape. Here's my...

I've searched and searched, but cannot find any feedback on this. This item appears to be discontinued, but my local CarQuest has lots of it left. I picked up a bottle yesterday (while purchasing AW!). Has anyone tried this? From the brochure, it's "No. 108 Sport Utility Polish and Cleaner"...

I purchased Westin Black Powdercoated Nerf Bars this winter. I often see older ones with lots of rust, etc. What can I used to protect this finish? It's not a glossy, shiny finish. It's more of a dull, matte black. Recently, I used 303 on it. I initially used 303 for the plastic step...

I've seen Fire Shine at one of my local O'Reilly. I cannot find any info on it, nor comments. It's made by Blue Magic. The box states "Guaranteed Brightest Shine or Your Money Back". Sounds like "snake oil". Here's a link to it: Buy "Fire Shine" Liquid Wax at BuyHardwareSupplies.com...

I just joined yesterday. I've been reading a lot, and trying to learn all the acronyms. Based on some reviews here, and elsewhere, I picked up some Turtle Wax Platinum Ultra Gloss from Big Lots. I plan to top it with S100 (from my local Harley dealer). Do I need to wait 12-24 hours between...

Hi. I've been reading here for a few days, and I've "got the bug". I've always taken good care of my rides, and have already learned great ideas from this site. I'm by far a novice compared to you guys. 1. How did you wind up at Autopia? This site is always being referenced from other...
