Looking for some recommendations for a good and safe wheel cleaner. I'd like to avoid strong acid or base formulas. This will be for factory painted wheels.

So in another thread I had posted about reconsidering my approach to the standard practice of using an LSP every few months followed by claying and polishing twice a year. I love the results from clay and polish but I have less and less time to do it. With two cars that are parked outdoors 24/7...

For ages, the AIO has been the redheaded stepchild in the autopians arsenal. They compromised on correction, looks and durability. I think my views are changing. I'm starting to question my routine on the two cars we have parked outside. I think I'm wasting my time polishing, claying and then...

Just curious as to what you guys would do to the "average" car if you had two hours. By average I mean: -moderately swirled paint -dirty wheels -some minor interior staining -moderate surface contamination Time break down would be cool... I would: Interior vacuum and spot treat -...

I think I've had my last bout with M105. I love the cut, and I love that it finishes out so well, but its not worth it. Even with taping everything up, it still creates a royal mess. I can't seem to find a good medium between staying wet enough to keep the rotary happy to dry enough not to...

I have always been interested in trying out leather dye. I have used Leatherique in the past and liked their products for very dry leather. My new to me S4 had some damage on the steering wheel and gear shifter. It appeared to be chemical related as the shifter and a spot on the right side of...

Has anyone used both? SRP gets some good feeback. I like Poli-seal but could use a bit more cut/cleaning ability.

Are water spots a sealant only phenomenon? I have had some issues with a particular sealant, and I have read others with similar issues with a variety of sealants, however I can't seem to recall anyone having issues with carnaubas. The fact that unprotected cars don't get water spots has me...

Say you have $10k burning a hole in your pocket. What's the most bang for your buck you can get? Some base rules to keep it interesting: -less than 10 years old -less than 75,000 miles -stock, though mod friendly cars are a bonus -price based on KBB private party sale in excellent condition

I'm looking to re-arrange the items in my current garage for a bit more space. I'd like to be able to measure my garage as well as the stuff going in it and be able to easily re-arrange stuff and play with various layouts. Looking for simple and free or shareware, don't want to drop money when...

Danase has some pretty silly prices on pads, especially the purple foamed wool for $6 Clearance

Got my first order from these guys and inside was a coupon, looks generic (not one time use). $5 off $50 - DC8M15X05 $10 of $100 - DC8M15X10 I do love auotgeek and ADS, but these guys have some great prices, I wish they'd expand their inventory a bit though.

What products do you wish you favorite vendor would make? Meguiars - A non trim staining, no cleaner, layerable LSP Optimum - OPP in a fresh scent, the fake leather smell is terrible Anyone - A trim protectant that really lasts and doesn't run all over your paint or disapper in two weeks!

Looking for something that has the fake plasticy look and some depth. Have a car that the Z-6 looks really good on. Already have/tried UQD, OID, FK425, AW they all look decent, but don't have that really blingy plastic laminated look.

Is Poorboy's World Trim Restorer and Chemical Guys Extreme V.R.P the same thing (functionally)? I know the two lines alter ingredients enough to SAY they are different, but are these two the same thing?

Scottwax, you are a genius. ONR then using clay is such a timesaver. I use hot water for the ONR so I just throw the clay into the water, keeps it nice and pliable, I think it even makes it more tacky.

Anyone else excited about a protectant that is supposed to do what none other has? Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant It already has some big shoes to fill, the reports on MOL have been pretty favorable.

VIP Special Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine 128 oz. 29.99-10% by using "autopia"

I'd like to be able to machine polish my wheels a bit more easily. I have been using a mother's powerball mini, however: -its too big to get into a lot of areas -its only one type of foam, somewhere between cutting and polish -replacement foam pieces...where do you get them? I'd love to...
