I've only tried the car wash. It is pretty good stuff. Good price on it at CostCo.

I was visiting my brother one day when his son who was about 17 came in and asked to borrow his Dad's car. Why? The kid had his own Monte Carlo his Dad had fixed up beautifully for him. The kid said he wanted to get it washed but it wasn't dirty. The kid said he didn't care. The local HS...

Oxidation and anti-oxidants coming to the surface cause tires to brown. A mild washing should restore much of the natural black color. If you put a tire dressing on a brown tire, it will only temporarily restore a black look. Wash the tire before appying tire dressing and the shine will last a...

You can go ahead and detail your new car including claying and waxing. The difference between new car paint and a repaint is the way it is dried. In the factory, they turn the ovens up a lot more than when a body shop repaints. They can do this because they are baking it when there is no...

I often use Liquid Glass on my windshield. I've used Rain-X in the past but it seems the wipers would start to chatter as the Rain-X began wearing off. I don't have that problem with Liquid Glass. The biggest advantage to using IMO to using something like Liquid Glass is it is much easier to...

I also bought a gallon of the TW Ice Car Wash a Costco. A gallon for $6.99. It does a decent job but then again, my cars don't get very dirty so I've never put it to a big test.

My choice also. Good stuff.

Step 1: Rinse with Mr. Clean AutoDry final rinse spray (the only time I use this device) Step 2: California Water Blade Step 3: Micro Fiber towel

I finally got around to trying the Ice Car Wash yesterday. My favorite soap before this was Black Magic and still is. The Ice car wash just seems thin. I use a foam gun and this stuff doesn't foam very well even when I use 50% more soap in it than I do with Black Magic. When I finish washing...

Yep, I'd fix the problem. If you can't fix the leak perhaps you can cover the part of the car it is dripping on. Hopefully it isn't a sewage line.

Thanks for the info on the clear-rinse. Looks interesting but if you compare the cost per rinse for it compared to the MCAD, the MCAD is slightly cheaper as long as you use it only to rinse and don't use their soap which is what I've started doing. Of course this cost per rinse depends on each...

Back in January, I bought a gallon of this stuff for $6.99 at Costco. Great price! But, I admit haven't used it it. I seem to fall for all the new products. Just have to buy them and then wait their turn to use. I've about used up the other soaps I have in my inventory and the Ice is next up...

I don't like car covers. They scratch. They get dirty. They are a pain to deal with in the rain. The birds #@$%! on them. I'd use a winshield shade and tint the back windows.

There is one thing that about the Mr. Clean system and other deionized water systems that bother me. When I read about this, I put Mr. Clean away. However, I think I may have a case of a little information being a dangerious thing. So, if someone can educate me, please do so. Here it is. Mr...

I used one for a long time and do not believe the soap strips wax. Sure, it encourages the water to sheet but that does not mean the wax is gone. You can use other soaps but before you do, be sure to empty the MR. Clean soap completely from the tank. Then put water in the tank and run it though...
