    Tried many tire dressings....not happy...

    I've tried so many tire dressings, and been dissapointed with all to some extent. They sling, remain wet, get gummy, disappear, evaporate, dry-out, puddle, overspray, run, and attract dirt. Well that's a pretty comprehensive list. I just want to find one that gives me a nice...

    I have 4 cars. All have 20% tinted windows, which is fairly dark (in fact, many times it appears black). I have noticed that, with age and some carelessness, some of these windows have become scratched on the inside, where the soft vinyl film is applied. In a couple of instances, the...

    How many times to use claybar before tossing....

    I've used several different clay brands, including Mothers, Clay Magic, Meguiar's, Zaino. Most times, after claying, I simply "wash" the clay with carwash soap and water and store in a zip-lock bag until the next use. Then after claying about 3-4 cars, I pitch it. Do you guys toss it...

    Car Show Judges......

    A buddy and I both entered our cars in the '95 and newer modified class at the "Good Time Oldies" car show last weekend. My concern is not about the judging itself, because they were very thorough and we could tell they had done this many times before. My complaint about their judging was...

    3M Fine Cut....

    I've read a lot about this product. It has great reviews and I've never read a negative comment about it. I'm wanting to try it on some swirls and scratches on a black, clearcoated, 3-year old car. Is this it?

    Leather Repair...

    A small hole (1/8" diameter) has worn in the leather seat of my car. It is at belt level, on the side "bolster", so I assume that the hole was caused from leather against leather friction over it's 38,000 mile life, from my belt rubbing against the bolster each time I enter and exit the car...
