    Matting Down a Glossy Finish

    In restoring some faded fenders, I was pleased with the results - the milky grey is now a very dark black. But it's now very glossy, where it was supposed to result in a matte finish. Will the gloss eventually just go away, or do I need to use some product to knock down the gloss? I don't...

    Meguiars Endurance High Gloss on Jeep TJ Wrangler Fenders

    I'm in the process of restoring the highly oxidized fenders on my 2000 TJ Jeep Wrangler - and Forever Black seems to be working out so far. It's a bit streaky - but pretty much anything is better than the milky black/white mess that was aging my Jeep well beyond it's 8 years. At any rate, I...

    Removing Sticky Rubber Adhesive

    I've had a hardtop on my Jeep for the last 3 years - it required 2 strips of insulator rubber adhesive to be applied. Is there anything safe that I can buy from a local shop that I can use to remove the residual rubber and goo that were left when I pulled off the adhesive? It's on top of a...

    Faded Wrangler Flares - Krylon Paint or Black Wow?

    I have a 2000 Wrangler which I've kept in good condition - other than the flares, which are notorious for fading to a milky grey. I've tried Back to Black, etc. - it lasts maybe 2 weeks or the first rain, whichever comes first, and they're back to looking like crap again. Is Black WOW really...

    Dash Overlay Kits

    I was wondering if anyone had experience with those dash kits - they appear to be just adhesives that paste over the original. If they're likely or liable to just peel off, then obviously it would be a very stupid move. I have a brand new Chrysler 300 - it's the LX model, so it doesn't have...

    Detailing New Chrysler 300 - Mopar Recommended?

    Hi - just bought a new silver Chrsyler 300. I asked the dealer to detail it before taking delivery, but there are still tar deposits on the paint. From the sticker, it looks like the car has been sitting in the lot for 9 months. The owners manual recommends using Mopar cleaning products - I...

    Hunting kompressornsc

    Sorry - the board doesn't have a way to contact other members (or at least not for noobs like me). I saw another post where kompressornsc had mentioned that his Mom had bought a new Chrysler 300. My mom just bought the same car. Given he seems to be a guru here, I thought maybe he might have...

    Grandma's 300

    Hey everyone - my Mom needed a new car, so she asked me to handle all of the research, get the best deal, etc. She's now the proud owner of a new silver Chrsyler 300. Her old car had over 289,000 miles and the engine had been extremely well maintained - but the exterior and interior were a...
