    DAWN--what Dawn??

    Last weekend decided to attack the black Explorer which has been a victum of road oils, etc. Worst stuff was removed but glop still lingered on doors and rear quarters; decided might as well go all the way and start over (wasn't real pleased with my last adventure of Dawn, clay, DACP, NXT...

    HELP -- Road Maintenance Advice

    Our village in their infinite wisdom just decided to do a a little maintenance on our street (asphalt). They did a coat of oil followed by sand. Needless to say my wife would not adjust her driving speed. So my Explorer has wheel wells and a few exterior bits coated with this ^%#@ stuff...

    Interiors/Woolite

    Seems like it's interiors day on the front page. Saturday was Explorer interior day at my house. Whoever recommended a Woolite/water plus "Dobie" pad approach to the interior should get some kind of award. I do the Exporer inside once per year, probably should do it 2-3 times and it...

    The next WOW...

    Part of the inherent fun here is the WOW factor quest; the search for the new-new. The recent talk about Collinite caused me to order some to try this weekend before winter hits. This phenomenon also gave me pause to think back on my own love of the clean car. Yes, grasshopper another tour...

    QD--gimme the real story

    I 've been on this site for a couple of months now and have always seen people say after a wash or between waxes or daily give it a QD. Well, I bought some a couple weeks ago and the first time I used it was sort of --so what,,,, I've got a 01 Miata with 2 coats of Zymol on--let's not...

    Guru ADVICE wanted

    I've been on this site for a while--I think it's terrific and extremely helpful, though there are a few over the top, but hey it's clean fun. 1-I have a 98 Explorer Black that has always disappointed me re: the condition of the hood--short of a repaint, I'd like to see if I can "work" this...
