    unusual goooy stuff on paint

    I was away for a few days and when I got home I washed the wife's car. There was something on the roof that stood up at least 1/4" and 1/4" round and was soft and sticky, I though it was some sort of sap. Some could be removed by pinching with fingers as it was soft. I tried IPA on it and in...

    Ya come out to the car in the am and what do you find but some scattered bird pooop. Car was washed and cleaned last nite. Just spray on a QD, let it soak, soak up with paper towel, QD again and gently wipe up? I'm talking minor bird crap here not an all out bird assault.

    The differences between MF's

    I often read about this or that MF and how people like them or don't but my question is how can you tell them apart? People call them cheap, is there a $$ amount that needs to be spent before it is any good. I bought 2 for $5 at the local parts store, they are blue, 16 x 16 inches and nice and...

    Meg's endurance question, what is the black

    I've been using Meg's endurance for awhile now and it does last longer than those spray-ons. When removing the tire and wheel now I get lots of black on my hands from the dressed part of the tire, what is that and why? I usually just reapply at wash time without scrubbing the old stuff off.

    DIY carwash soaps

    When using the pressure washer at the *do it yourself carwashes* is it safe to use their soap or is it a wax stripper? The old guy who takes care of my local one says it is a product called "Hyperclean". I like to wet it down and then do a *hand wash with my mit and soap* but can't decide if I...

    Clean enough to eat off of

    A guy at work said to me while looking at my wheels " they are clean enough to eat off of". I said thanks all the while thinking to myself, of course they are, I spend more time on them then the dishes. P21S gel, a wash, wipe and a little #16 can come out real nice.

    Meguairs Endurance Applicator

    My first bottle had a box with a foam applicator in it with a plastic handle and I used it for application. The other day I cut off 1 inch of kitchen sponge ( 1" X 3") and wet it and then rung it out. I then used it to apply the endurance, much much easier to apply and control. I like...

    Mfg's included sponge or MF applicator

    Do you guys like to use the included sponge applicator (Meg's 26 or NXT paste) to apply wax or do you use a MF applicator. I was using the sponge and going front to back on the hood and having trouble getting it to cover well, it is also hard to control the amount of product on the sponge. If...

    Cleaning door jams

    I just can not get comfortable with a method for cleaning door jams or when to do it. I feel that they should be washed but there is never a right time to do it during the cleaning. I dont like to open the doors while washing, I dont know how to rinse them without getting the interior all wet...

    Marks on new car, happy ending

    Picked up a 06 Scion TC in Black Sand Pearl on Wednesday, the car had all the protective plastic already removed so I was not able to do a "Bill D" on it. I looked it over pretty good and it was almost perfect. There are no swirls or cobwebs. There were some marks on the nose just before you...

    Targus optical mouse

    I bought a Targus optical mouse for my laptop a few weeks ago and just love it. It's the small mouse, has a windup cord and is light as a feather. And it was $14.99 in Wallyworld. I'm going to buy some for friends and give as gifts.

    Megs Quik Interior detailer

    What do you guys think of this product? I think I was a little disappointed in it. it does not seem to add much to the dash, ie not much change. Will I love this stuff in the future or does it do the job, just not show off?
