Recently did a used oil analysis on a 2 year old oil in my 2002 Toyota weekend ride with 95k miles that went less than 5k miles those two years. To my freakin' surprise the oil (G-oil by the way) was still stout (plenty of TBN) and could have gone farther. Despite that I would not roll the dice...

Seems like definitions have changed. OP like Eagle One Nano which is a spray wax. Spray wax can be used as wax-as-u-dry, so I guess who cares. I've bought and compared 4 wax-as-u-dry sprays Eagle One, Megs, Mothers, Turtle Wax and one spray wax, the Meg's Ultimate Spray Wax (consumer D156)...

Per others you'll need to rent an upholstery cleaner (extractor). They often will want you to use their cleaner products for the machine. Afterwards, I'd follow up with a degreaser diluted per instructions (SuperClean, Purple Power), agitate, then use extractor again without the cleaners, just...

-- ignore -- OP already checked water/acid level.

Been using Google onHub/WiFi for almost 1 1/2 years. I absolutely love it. If you enjoy toying around with WiFi settings you'll hate it. A single GWiFi/onHub is just as powerful, arguably more powerful than benchmark routers like ASUS RT-AC68u. However now-a-days there are many MESH choices...

I've become quite a fan of Fast Finish and highly recommend it. It doesn't take that much more time than spray wax that you seriously can apply it as you feel necessary after you wash your car. Prior to Fast Finish, for years I was a also a fan of Armor All's Extreme Shield Wax. It was a...

Chiming in with my experience. 3 homes with 50mb Time Warner Cable (TWC) and became Spectrum. 100mb is the minimum advertised speed in my area and costs just $5 more. On my 1st call for my home I asked for the 100mb price for $5 more and was told that it was not available for me since I was an...

Simple and durable used to be Armor All Extreme Shield Wax. There was no need to rub in or let haze, just get the surface wet and wipe off. You literally can wax your car in 15-20 mins after a car wash. Average life was 1 year. Shame that I cannot find it anymore. Luckily Meguiar's Fast Finish...

If you want to remove a lug nut use an impact wrench. It will have the hex or square male end at the tip that you attach sockets to. If you want to drill a screw into a piece of wood, use an impact drill. Those are the typical chucks that you put bits in. You wouldn't think that it'd matter, but...

I still have a bottle from at least 10 years ago. I'm not sure if the formulation has changed, but I wouldn't use it that older formulation for interior. I used it for a convertible top, tires and exterior black plastic and works great. It 'dries' matte on tires and seems to keep the black...

Worked on a 2007 Murano. 1st gen, yours is 2nd. Just a tip. The rear brakes were a combo disc regular brakes / drum for the parking brake. Constant complaint of the owner (family member) was a squeal only on the 1st few brake presses often after parked for awhile (when brakes are cold). It ended...

Waiting for someone to mention CRC Guaranteed to Pass. Car had a PO430 that slowly over 3 years came on more and more frequently, til it was always on. Car came up for emissions and my luck changed, the light went away for 600 miles. I dropped CRC G2P in just in case and had the car tested. The...

Lots of good advice and products already. I want to highlight that rotary. Unless you have used it before, return it and get an random orbital or dual action. You can get just as good results. If it's too late, then as previously stated, be careful. I haven't run into any bad clay bars. I've...

Yes, I noticed that synthetic padding of sorts on the new-ish 2015 Infiniti on the inner wheel wells. On my older Infiniti, it doesn't have any and is like most cars, just metal. I ended up using underlay carpet padding above the rear wheel wells in the trunk and for the front wheels, neoprene...

I read your other thread and I'm in a similar boat. I LOVE my Nexus 5, but it hasn't received any official updates since Dec. 2016. Thank god Nexus 5 and 6 are beyond popular with xda-developers that newer OSs are available in the open source community. I'm familiar with stock Nexus images and...

For decades my pops always air compressed the engines anytime we change oil. That was more than enough to keep them clean. Recently when my car began to leak oil from a valve cover, air was no help and I began cleaning with water from a hose and degreaser where the oil is. A lot of both. That I...

It hard to go wrong with any modern wax from any of the major brand names. I grew up with Turtle Wax paste and eventually settled on Meguiar's Cleaner Wax for years until I went prosumer with Porter Cable orbital and began using Meg's #26. It's great for cars that live in the sun, but you do...

Haven't used Mothers Speed Clay, but I do love the Chem Guy's clay mitt. It's not perfect. If fact there's less tactile feel. You want to gently move the clay across the paint and feel/hear when it's smooth. Very easy to do with clay bar. With the CG mitt, you can't feel it at all, so you go by...

Though weekly spray wax works and is better than nothing at all, it really wasn't designed as a primary wax. As others mentioned, it's best used to maintain existing wax. Additionally wax as a paste vs liquid is becoming more of a matter of preference. Though I'm sure no-one here will stop you...
