    Doing it Right: Removing and fixing old, incorrect touch-up paint?

    Hello everyone, I did a search on this, but it seems most results are pretty old and may not apply to the newer water-based paints that I understand are used on cars. I bought a 2016 Toyota. Colour is 070 Blizzard Pearl Tricoat. I have already ordered the correct paints on PaintScratch.com...

    Using Microfiber (or alteratives?) to Clean Bird Poop

    I`ve been researching products to keep as a preventative measure, to remove bird poop. I`ll probably re-purpose a small bottle of eyeglasses cleaning fluid and fill it with QD, to keep for emergencies. But the main issue is towels... people on this site keep referring to microfiber towels for...

    Products like IronX and Sonax Fallout Cleaner don`t make sense to me

    Hi everyone. I upgraded cars, now to a white Toyota. It has a moderate to serious case of brake dust and rail dust. I was about to break out the `ol Riccardo clay bars, but then I found out about IronX, Sonax Fallout Cleaner and similar products. These products don`t make sense to me. If they...

    Law Regarding Auto Body Shop Paint Systems In Canada?

    I heard from one guy who works at a body shop that due to new laws on environmental friendliness, all body shops will soon be forced to switch from aerosol based paint systems to water based systems. Soon they will not be able to buy their current type of paints. Supposedly this will result in...

    Question About Repair & Clear Coat

    Scenario: About 5-6 months ago my car got scraped due to me being stupid, so I got a section repainted and some small dings / dents removed. Today I noticed some clear coat flaking off that is "kind of" near the area where they repainted, so it may be overspray from a blend job. Might also...

    Stoner Invisible Glass - $4.97 per FOUR cans @ Costco

    As reported on RedFlagDeals, many Costcos in Canada are selling FOUR cans of Stoner Invisible Glass for $4.97. This works out to $1.24/can + tax. Normally you pay $6.49 for just one can at Canadian Tire. This is a hot deal. I bought some today. So far it is only confirmed at Costcos in the...

    Wet Sanding Reveals Strange Ovals in Paint?! (Pics Within)

    OK I'm really stumped on this one. I was following the Paint Clinic article to fill in a stone chip on my hood. Today I was wet-sanding down the overfill area with 2000 grit sandpaper. Here is the chip before re-filling it: Now I wet-sanded and these weird ovals appeared near...

    Autopia-Carcare.COM Store Is Great!

    Got my order in from Autopia not too long ago. For those Canadians who avoid international orders due to taxes tacked on at the border and such, do not fear! I was VERY pleased by the way the Autopia people handled my order! (PM me for details, you never know when "Big Brother" is watching...)

    Scotchgard Prep?

    I am planning to get some cans of Scotchgard and apply it myself. I figure I should clean the fabric seats first and then apply the Scotchgard to the clean fabric. What do you recommend for cleaning out the seats?

    Chip Repair / Primer Questions

    I read that Paint Clinic article and it was very helpful. But I have a few extra questions: 1. My car has at least 1 chip where the metal is exposed. Previously I just got touch-up stick and put a couple of layers of the paint into the chip with no primer underneath. It's still pretty...

    www.waxonwaxoff.ca - Montreal Store

    This site WaxOnWaxOff.ca had the best price I could find in Canada for AquaPel. The order came quickly and I have no complaints. (Note: I may have a low post count but I am not a spammer. My account was registered four months ago.)

    Dusty Garage

    Firstly, I have gone through 10 pages of results searching for 'dust' and I found nothing, so please spare me the whip if I missed an old thread on this. I park in a fairly dusty garage. It is an underground condo garage and they have fan exhaust systems that run periodically so the air and...

    WeatherTech PlateFrame Not So Good (In My Opinion)

    I got my first order in from WeatherTech recently and I found the mats are very nice and worth the money. But I also got the WeatherTech PlateFrame to replace the dealer advertising frame on the back of my ride. And I think it's honestly not worth the 25 bux I paid. (WTH, they are only...
